A Responsibility That Is Indeed
Well known to tho Public.

just DclUTe le Sullcu ou Ntuilts-
day President WILSON made comment
as follows on an important subject:
THE responsibility for the block
ing OF certain much needed legisla-
ton in Washington 10 perfectly well
known to the public, and the respon-
sibility doesn't need to be shared
Mr.. WILSON'S statement Is literally
true. The public knows that the re-
sponsibllity for the halt in the func-
tons OF the Government lies at the
door of MFR. WILSON'S etateroom.
There is no blocking of necessary leg
islatlon except by Mr.. WILSON him
self. So far he has blocked it by re-
fusing to call an extra session of the
Congress.
The voters Of the United States
last November declared that they
wished the business of this country to
be done by Republican Congress.
That Republican Congress came into
being last Tuesday, but it will have
no opportunity to take charge Of
Americas affairs until next Deem
her unless the President calls an ex-
ira session. Mr.. WILSON'S efforts to
drive what legislation he desired
through the closing hours of his sub
servlent Democratic Congress were In
vain. His desire to prevent Repub-
lican Congress from carrying on the
has been evident. To call an extra
session might mean a free discussion
of the present scheme Of the League
of Nations. On that subject, 1t seems,
President WILSON wishes no express
sion Of an opinion which differs from
his own.
The Presidents denunclation Of the
Senators who have stood in the way
of his plans was nm act of attempted
coercion. 1t is in line with the scheme
outlined by the Presidents loyal sup
porter, the World, last week, when
Mr.. WILSON still hoped to bend the
Senator's to his will. A Washington
despatch In the World said:
Then there is the army bill. II
that fails the President Is expected
to inform the country where the re-
sponslbilty lies for delay in bring
Ing home the soldiers, for It will be
puzzle to find available funds with
which to bring the boys back from
France. Transports and equipment
must be paid for. and without the
army bill and the navy bill no APP
parent way OF doing this is in sight.
Tho nice point the Republicans
have to determine is whether there
Is political advantage enough In the
effort to compel an early session to
counterbalance the damage OF a
campaign cry OF: You kept my
boy away
And that Is tho menace the
President Is waving at them, and
they realize how deadly the Presi-
dent can make that issue"
That issue would be deadly only to
Mr.. WILSON. The people, who know
that the Republican party has been
the stancher Of the two great parties
in this war, as in every other war in
which America engaged, would know
also that the President, failing to call
an extra session, would himself be
the cause Of any delay in returning
the troops.
The American voters have elected a
Republican Congress. There Is every
reason why 1t should be called by
President WILSON to begin It's func,
lions Immediately.

People Victims Four Years.
1T has been mighty struggle here
in North Dakota-between the peo-
pie on one side and the corporations
on the other. Repeatedly for four
years the people have come out vic
toriOus. The program attacked and
defended by the spending of many
thousands has at last been made the
law.
"Into the hands Of the three
highest officers of the state has
been placed the power, authority
and money to carry out the law
and free the people.
"The straight fight is over and
] won. A traitor now is the enemy's
last resort. A betrayer now who is
in a position to block the program is
worth all the millions spent before.
William LANCER is using the power
you placed in his hands to be of aid
and comfort worth millions to the
enemy. f
when the battle was over, when
the enemy was down and out, waiting
till the greatest measure of power
had been placed in his hands, and

they could do nothing-when he
could name his own conditions then

AT the state convention the same
rule is followed. The men selected
and agreed upon by the delegates to
the state convention are the candi'
dates. All members of the league or
ganization are loyal to the league
candidates. League members stick to
these candidates because they believe
their delegates honestly did the best
they could to pick out men fit for the
offices. The election Of these men to
state office is no credit to the candi'
dates=-it is no candidates victory.

them. The members do not expect
those they elect, whether state Of
