 Equal to Hohenzolern"
 The character of the presidents ap- peal said MT. Taft, "discloses his ut ter misunderstanding of our consti- peal is a demand for power during the next two years equal to that of the Hohenzollerns in war and peace ant accounting and reconstruction.
 He asks the American people tC entrust him with unlimited contro over the settlements of a peace tha will affect them for a century when ht has given many evidences of wish tt puISut d COuGSc dSdlllSl WHICH lIltll faces are set like flint, to wit. peace by negotiations. His appeal for un- restricted power is unprecedented il the annals of the country and it is al unrepublican as it is unnecessary"
