DETROIT. Mich. Dec. 16.-R- Chairman Hays. of the republican national committee, today addressed the state committee relative to the line upon which the republican cam paign will be carried out in the ma tional elections next year. He in voked the committeeman to work for their party in the name of the partiot- ism of Roosevelt and Lincoln.
 Chairman Hays declared that the end of the war found the country as unprepared for peace as it had been for war when the war came. He placed the responsibility for such condition solely on the shoulders of the democratic party. He said that the administration had failed in both instances to perform it's duty to the country.
 He urged the strictest individual economy consistent with the proper development of the needs of the pres ent day. He touched but lightly on the work of the present congress merely saying that the special session under the control of the republican party had saved the country approxi- mately $1,0OO O.O00,0OO This, if noth- ing else," he declared, should war rant an overwhelming republican victory next year."
