The COmli ] HEClIUNS|
Editorial from the Asheville Citi-
zen of Oct. %, 1918)
Political Advertising i
In a little over two weeks the
people of the majority of the states
will be called upon to elect sena-
torial and congressional representa-
tives for the next two years of Pres
ident Wilson's term. To the eter-
nal credit of the American people
be it said that in practically all
districts of the country political
questions have been overwhelmed
by the one great burning issue of
the hour-the winning of the war.
They know that President Wilson
is now passing through the most
critical period of the struggle, and
that in his hands virtually lies the
power of peace or war. The negotia-
lions which are now afoot, and
which will continue over the elec-
tions, unless they are broken off by
the president, will doubtless present
questions that are not to be OBJ
scured by party issues. Therefore
we take it that the average Ameri-
can, regardless of political leanings,
will not want to embarass the chief
executive of the United States by.I
Swapping horses" in this most try
ing hour.
To be more explicit. it is highly
important to the successful conduct
of the war. and still more import
tant to its successful termination,
that President Wilson be given a |
Democratic majority in both houses
of congress. AS recently stated in |
these columns, these remarks do
not imply any disloyalty on the
part of Republicans in either branch,
but it stands to reason that the
president will feel sure of himself
and will move with greater conf
dence when he is assured that a |
party majority stands back of him
in the senate and in the house.
There is another feature, too, to
be considered in connection with
the forthcoming election, and that
is the fact that the return of a Re-
publican majority on November 81
will be construed by Berlin as a re-
pudiation of President Wilson and
all his war policies, We all remem-
Der how in 1916 German influences
throughout the country were array
ed against President Wilson, and
that they left no stone unturned in |
the effort to defeat him and to Sc
cure the election of his opponent.
Charles E. Hughes. Indeed, the
German press made no attempt to
c ono 9 it's hope for a
Hughes victory. Considering the
fact that President Wilson is now
engaged in bringing Germany to
her knees. and is wringing from her
the most humiliating concessions.
we can very well imagine with
what delight the Germans would
greet the return of Republican ma
jorities to Washington next month.
Therefore, it is up to every Amer.
lcan, regardless of political leanings.
10 stand squarely by the nations
ruler. Indeed, it is not too much to
say that the outcome of the present
var may be decided at the polls
n the election next month.
