Congress and The President

The Country approves of President Wilson and dis
approves Of Congress.
Ii was fortunate that we had Democratic president,
for only Democrat could have led the Democrats to
adopt the strong measures necessary Tor the war. In
general Wilson has made his appointments on partisan
lines and this has been necessary in order to keep the
Democrats together in supporting the war.
But in his policy and general war measures he has
done exactly what Republican president would have
done
And now he is at the head of movement for promot-
ing world peace that is certainly OF the greatest pro-
jects proposed in this earth
And many congressman are seemingly doing all they
can prevent the of this plan for world peace
They trying to- modify il and make it better to
diminish its Objectionable points and strengthen its best
points, but they trying to defeat altogether
II they succeed they will deserve and receive the
reprobaton OF all posterity.
Some ofthese men are Democrats and blind.
Some of them Republicans short sighted to
think that they help their party capture the offices by
a line of conduct that will be harmful to the world The
CITIZEN has been Republican because it thought the re-
publican policies beneficial to the Country. We
shall to be Republican when the Republicans adopt
policies that wrong and harmful.
