Thus Ends Second Chapter.

Thus ends the second chapter. OF
course, Chairman Hays is not a sub
scriber to the Rockford Star or he
would have known about all this and
would not have accused such respon-
sible personages as democratic lead
ers at Washington" of whom the
President considers himself a member,
Of being responsible for the adter-
tisement. Nor would he have told it
to a gathering of republican state
chairmen in Chicago at political
conference. On the other hand, it is
also unfortunate that the democrats
did not subscribe to the Rockford
Star and save themselves this belated
search through the files.
The correspondence brings out an
interesting point wholly apart from
the political controversy itself. 1t
draws attention to the fact that SOL
diers still can vote and express their
soldier who appealed to his friends on
thGsground that president Wilson,
your commander-in-chief desires all
loyal Americans to vote for Joseph
r. Davies made reckless misstate-
fnent. The President as leader of the
Democratic party could ask for such
p vote. but not as "commander-in-
fhief of the Army, of which these SOL
biers are members" This will be dis
puted. Republicans already are main
flaming that because the President is
eommander-in-chief he cannot ask for
ehe return of a democratic Congress.
But the democratic answer is that as
long as former President Roosevelt
hnd Taft are asking for a republican
congress. as long as the party of
(which Mr.. Wilson is the leader is be-
ing attacked on the ground that it has
hot supported the war as vigorously
hs the republicans have or would. Mr..
Wilson will take leave to defend the
members of his parry against such &C
fusations and undoubtedly where such
Misrepresentation is practiced, he may
fven ask for the return of individual
Democratic candidates.
