ALL URGED TO STAY
HOME TOMORROW
$500 Bond Solicitors, Mr..
McAdoo Included, Will Make
Personal Calls.
HOURS, T06, AFTERNOON

| Every householder in Washington is
urged to remain at home tomorrow
afternoon and be ready to hand his
subscription to the volunteer house-to-
house canvasser, who will call some
time between l and 6 o'clock.
! Secretary McAdoo of the Treasury
| has enlisted as a member of one of
! the 200 canvassing teams and will
ring doorbells and solicit pledges
j along with the more than $500 other
patriotic men and women of Wash
! ington who have volunteered to en-
! gage in this work as means of help
! ing this city to raise it's fourth lib
| erty loan quota.
Mr.. McAdoo May Be Caller.
Just what team Secretary McAdoo
! will be a member of or the district in
| which he will canvass has not been
made public by the local committee.
In urging the residents of Washing
ton to remain at home tomorrow aft
ernoon the local committee points out
that it is possible that the Secretary
might call at their home and thus af-
ford them the pleasure and honor of
! purchasing bond from him and re-
ceiving a receipt with his name
signed to it.
In announcing that Secretary Nc
Adoo had offered his services as a
house-to-house canvasSer the local
committee said he was especially en-
thuSiastic over the idea and seemed
most anxious to do everything within
his power to help pull Washington

for carrying on the drive here were
abandoned because of the influenza
crisis With all mass meetings, ral-
lies, parades and other big gatherings
arranged for the promotion of the loan
drive called off, the local committee
is stalking all of it's hopes on the
houSe-to-house canvass.
Workers Expect Success.
From the tone and spirit of the sew
eral thousand men and women who
are to be engaged in this big under
taking tomorrow, the local committee
today feels especially optimistic; in
fact, some members of the committee
are SO sanguine of the outcome of the
big drive that they believe Washing
ton will be able on Monday morning
to hoist it's new honor flag, denoting
that this city has subscribed to its
Quota-$27,60 ,60S,000.
The headquarters of the local loan
committee, at 1418 H street, presented
busy scene today. The various Of
fees and Railways were packed with
men and women who had called re-
garding the canvass of the homes.
Many team captains were on hand to
receive further instructions regard
ing their respective districts and re-
garding the details of solicitation.
Charts of various sections of the city
with districts marked Off have been
furnished to each team captain, who
in turn has assigned certain num-
Der of houses to each member Of his
team. Each captain also was furnish
ed with a number of subscription
cards equal to the number Of houses
in his territory, supply of honor
flags, bond buttons, and a large let
tered sign to place on his automo-
bile to show that it is used on liberty
loan business and is therefore en-
titled to disregard "gasless Sunday"

BASE THE CAMPAIGN
ON SUPPORT OF WAR
Plea of Democrats and Re-
pubIicans, Respectively, for
Control of Congress.
LEADERS IMPRESS VIEWS
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.


Copyright. 191s by N. Y. Evening Post, Incl
Politics, like the proverbial rich and
provcrbial poor, is always with us in
Washington, but under the veneer Of
that much-abused term, "war service"
it is less visible to the naked eye,
though not less powerful or assertivc.
Both parties arc theoretically resting
on their arms while the liberty loan
campaign goes on. After October 19-
just two weeks more-they will go at
it hammer and tongs.
In the meantime they are making
faces at each other and planning to
issue to the American people the same
species of buncombe they have had
to offer in those elections of past
years when in the absence of an
issue wherewith to camoufiage their
desires they fall back on the con-
vincing argument that the country
doesn't dare trust the republican or
democratic party, as the case may be.
Such statements as have been is
sued. and such talk as is heard here
reveal very plainly that the demo-
Gratis think they deserve to be re-
turned to Congress more because they
happen to be of the same political
faith as President Wilson than any
thing else. while the republicans rue
fully exclaim that the republicans
alone know how to support the Pres
ident in his war aims and that the
republicans alone know how to prose-
cute the war vigorously

Republican View Expressed. I.

Republ1can view Expressed.
Representative Fess of Ohio. the re-
publican chairman, declares that
war will be the republican demand" !"
as if Gen. Pershing is somehow being
| restricted from pounding Germany as
hard as he can today and as if re-
publicans as we'll as democrats in
thousands of places in the civilian.
as we'll as military branches of the
government, are not doing their pa
triotic utmost to hasten the day when
Germany shall come suppliant to the
allies for a merciful peace
And Representative Ferris of Michi-
gan, the democratic national chair
man, issues a long statement point
ing out that thirty-two republicans
and only sixteen democrats voted
publicans and only thirty-two demo-
Gratis voted to surrender Americans
rights when the McLemore resolution
was voted on, while seventy-six re-
publicans and only forty-seven demo-
Gratis voted for the Cooper amend
of American rights on the high seas.
Mr.. Ferris argues that he wouldn't
make an issue of this, only the repub-
licans are trying to make it appear
that they alone know how to support
the President in war measures. AS a
matter of fact. the republicans very
shrewdly make answer by saying that
they are not attacking the loyalty of
a party, but the quality of the demo-
cratic leadership-andh here they make
painful grimaces concerning Repre-
sentative Claude Kitchin, the demo-
cratic leader, and Representative
Dent of Alabama, democratic chair
committee. These men were against
the selective service act, as was
Speaker Clark. There also were many
republicans against conscription and
in favor Of volunteering.
There may be some value in making
an issue of certain personalities
which haven't handled legislation in
country, but to attack the men who
voted against the draft on partisan
grounds must involve an accusation
that the men who conscientiously op-
posed the scheme and preferred volun-
teering were not as anxious to win the
war as those who voted for conscrip-
tion.
An Involved Question.
The question is so involved that 1t
hardly will yield an issue for either
side.
In the hope Of getting something
spectacular which will appeal to the
imagination. both parties have thus
far ignored the respective records Of
the leaders Of both parties in those
domestic questions like taxation.

PATRIOT pHALANx

The Prohibition reform and it's
attendant propaganda has been
achieving remarkable results lnthe
months past. Twenty years ago
no one would have prophecied that
in 1918 a constitutional amendment
for National Prohibition would
have been submitted to the States
for their ratification. No one
would have dreamed that the fed
eral government would haye stopt
the. distillaticn of whisky and have
set about certain limitations for the
manufacture of other liquors.
Truly the Cause of Right is
gaining ground.
One of the largest factors in
achieving these results has been
the heroic efforts of the Prohihi-
tion press. Often scribling thru
many haraships. they have kept
the truth wildly before the Ameri-
can people. One of these papers.
and the one which is now the ma
tionol paper of the Prohibition
party, is the Patriot Phalanx, pub
lished at Indianapolis. They have
done heroic service and are still in
the forefront till victory be finally.
and absolutely achieved for the dry
forces.
For those who desire to keep up
to the minute in matters of anti
liquor reform, and who wish to
keep posted on the movement tow
ard a new and larger reform par
ty, probably to be known as the
National party, they will do we'll
to send one dollar for an annual
subscription to Patriot Phalanx.
Remittance may be made thru this
paper OF direct to Pat. Phalanx,

prisoner. His wife is in a desper
ate condition, in body and mind
After allowing credit for gooc
behavior, his term would expire
about Sept. l. In view of hi
good behavior as a prisoner, the
alarming condition of his wife
and the very short time between
now and the expiration of hi
term, the pardon is granted"
