DENVER COLORADO, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1918

Wilson to get it for her, as he pledged
himself to do in one of the few of his
famous articles which is explicable.
Germany understands that. See the
New York World. spokesman of the
administration, of last Saturday and
read the testimony of Henry c.. EN-
cry, former head of the Tariff Com
mission, just returned from seven
months in Germany THE German
people," he says, seemed to realize
that in President Wilson lay their only
salvation. They have turned to him
in the belief that he is the one great
political leader who can be trusted to
make a permanent peace which shall
permit equal economic development"
He is All others demanded that the
Germans shall pay the full penalty of
their crimes.
What worse than nonsense then is
the Democratic campaign cry that the
election of a Republican Congress
pledged to unconditional surrender
and protection of American industries
and American workingmen, instead of
a Democratic Congress ready to assent
to a negotiated peace and free trade,
would bear cheer to Germany. Such
claims would be ludicrous If they were
not so seriously unpatriotic. They are
as unfair, as untrue and as utterly
impossible as their claim that our AL
lies would be cast down by the cleo
ton of such a Republican Congress in
the face of the world-known Republi-
can record, past and present, and in
the face of the recent acclaim abroad
of Republican senators as reported in
the Paris cable to the Democratic
New York Times on October 8, in
these words:
"The reports of debates in the Amer
lean Senate share first pages with the
news of the great military victories
on the west front, Senators McCum-
ber. Nelson and Lodge are as highly
thought of in France today as are the
American generals"

"The war is a Democratic asset,
shouted Vice President Marshall. And
they have made every effort to make
it so, despite the earnest Republican
insistence that we have no contest as
to anything that touches the war eX-
cept that contest as to who best can
serve who most can give. Republi- |
cans have insisted that with the great !
war load to haul, both political horses
should be harnessed each striving to
see which can pull the harder Mr..
Wilson's appeal is simply the su-
preme effort of the Democratic high |
command to capitalize for partisan,
political purposes the glorious spirit
of patriotism that inspires this coun-
try. He now openly speaks as his
party has been secretly acting for
months. And he changes nothing
neither the facts, nor the Democratic 1
politica, methods, nor the certainty of
Republican success.
This is call to all loyal Republi- |
cans, proud in their patriotism, to
stand by their country and their can
didates and to let the world know that
America spurns autocracy no less at
home than abroad, and will uphold her
Allies in whatever reparation they
