G. 0. P. ONLY SAVIOR
IN NATIONAL CRISIS
People Must Depend on Party
That Won the Civil War,
Says Ex-senator Mills.
NO HOPE IN DEMOCRATS
Republican Women Hear the
Wilson Regime Arraigned for
Industrial Unrest.

Responsibility OF the Democratic party
for at least a great share Of the present
industrial unrest, and its total inability
TO cope with the increasing menace to
American institutions, were indicated
yesterday by former State Senator Og-
den L. Mills as among the reasons why
the people are looking to the Republic
can party to preserve the nation In the
present crisis. Mr.. Mills spoke at a
meeting arranged by the Republican
Women's State Executive Committee at
the National Republican Club. He said
in part:
THE doctrine which contemplates the
right Of an organized group to compel
submission to it's demands by means OF
what is described as direct action. when
applied to the community as a whole, or
to it's chosen representatives, the Gov
eminent. is the doctrine OF anarchy.
When the railroad brotherhoods threaten
to compel the United States Government
to ACQUIRE and operate the railroads OF
the country by means of strike. or
when Mr.. Gompers states that should
Congress pass a law forbidding strikes
on the railroads. he, as head of the
American Federation of Labor. would
not advise obedience to the law. we have
examples Of minority composed of less
than per cent. OF the population at
tempting to dictate through force the
public policy Of a nation of 11o.ooo.ooo
souls.
when we read Of SOC, 900 coal miners
declaring that they are ready to cut off
the coal supply of the country unless
their demand >or a five day week. a six
hour day and 60 per cent. increase OF
wage is granted and refusing to arbi-
trate. we would be blind indeed II we
did not recognize that not only our
whole economic and industrial structure
Is threatened, but organized government
itself revolutionary agitators are every
where carrying on vigorous campaign
which looks to nothing else but the over
turn of the American form of Govern
ment.
'T am firmly convinced that the peo-
pie Of the county are 'oking TO .he Re-
publican party in this hour OF distress
and danger. and as II was born to save
the Union, threatened by civil war, so
we must look to II to-day to preserve
the nation from the effects of a conflict
which is equally dangerous and destruc-
tive. am afraid nothing can be ex-
oected along these lines from the DEM
ocratic party"

by Mr.. Mills
