 to either house of the congress would moreover be interpretative on the. other | side of the water as a repudiation of my leadership.
 1 Spokesmen of the Republican party are urging you to elect a Republican congress in order to back up and SUD- port the president. but even if they should in this impose upon some credu- lous voters on this side of the water. they would impose on no one on the other side. It is well understood there as well as here that the Republican leaders desire not so much to support l the president as to control him.
 For Sake of Nation
 l The peoples of the allied countries with whom we are associated against Germany are quite familiar with the significance of elections. They would find it very difficult to believe that the voters of the United States had chosen to support their president by electing to the congress a majority controlled by i those who are in fact not in sympathy with the attitude and action of the ad- ministration.
 T need not tell you, my fellow coun- rymen, that I am asking your support not for my own sake or for the sake of a political party, but for the sake of the nation itself in order that it's inward unity of purpose may be evident to all the world. In ordinary times, I would not feel at liberty to make such an ap peal to you. In ordinary times divided counsels can be endured without per manent hurt to the country. But these are not ordinary times.
 Submits to People
 If in these critical days, it is your l n fai ai,, !, l liNFt1 1NA minds, I beg that you will say so in a way which it will not be possible to misunderstood either here at home or among our associates on the other side of the sea. I submit my difficulties and my hopes to you.

 Republican Statement
 The statement issued by Republican leaders in congress follows:
 Some time ago, the president said , politics is adjourned.' Now, in the closing days of the campaign-delayed by the united efforts of all parties for the liberty loan-now. when all public meetings have been given up owing to the influenza epidemic. the president sends out direct party appeal calling upon his countrymen to vote for demo- crats because they are democrats with out any reference to whether such democrats have been or are in favor of war measures and have war record . which deserves support.
 ,, Ford For Example "The voters of Michigan, to take a single example. are called upon to sup rort Mir Henry Ford-notorious for ? his advocacy of peace at any price; for , his contemptuous allusions to the flag for the exemption of his son from mil itary service-on the sole ground that , he will blindly support the president . The president is quite ready to ad- init that republicans are loyal enough to fight and die, as they are doing by the thousands; loyal enough to take ur great loans and pay enormous taxes; loyal enough to furnish important mer at no salary on some Of the great wal f boards in Washington. But they are not loyal enough in the presidents f opinion, to be trusted with any share in the government of the country Ol legislation for it.
