pathy with the general purposes of the war and have
favored its prosecution but by chickering's and
jockeyeying for political advantage many of them
have harassed the administration and in some in
stances have slowed down its efforts
The president proves his consistency bv MAKING
full and frank statement to the public and he has
demonstrated his breadth of view by specifying ex

election in which political parties supply the caDdf
dates. without injection OF politics The president
has done what he could to minimize the friction en-
gendered by the present campaign and his course

hope for early settlement of the difficulties -,
which the civilized world is now engulfed
