THE WHITE HOUSE AS THE SOLE
REPOSITORY OF NATIONAL HONOR

DRESIDENT WILSON says he is the real issue in the
campaign; the Republicans have not cared to make 1t
personal but they have accepted wisconsin as the ISSUE
that to say the Republicans condemn the Wilson policies
and the Wilson methods IF the president candidate
the nomination then the Republicans would make the
issue personal but under the circumstances only the presi-
dent has chosen to take that view of the contest
Nobody is surprised any at anything the president
says does Amused tolerance rather than resentment IS
the feeling among those whom he denounces for differing
with him. Two years ago he branded all Republicans as
unworthy Of participation government during his
and urged the country to vote against Republicans as
enemies Of the country Today he goes further and IN
authorized statement he uses these words:
@The processes by which the Chicago platform was
accomplished seemed to me to have been essentially
and scientifically Prussian IN inspiration and method
Instead Of quoting Washington and Lincoln the Re
publican platform should have quoted Bismarck and
Bernhardi"
Considering that Prussia has been held up for
years the arch enemy Of the rest Of the world and the
Of the human race; that most Of the world went to
war fought hard and long to the Prusslan
menace that the United States made in complete
unity Of spirit and with 100 percent loyalty and patriotism
against the worlds enemyconsidering these thng the
words by president Wilson toward the elected dele
gates Of majority Of American and and thus
against that majority which uphods its delegates are
merely disgusting; they sound ike the rawlings Of IN
man. and cannot be considered seriously by any well
The president does not hesitate of HhOnor
all Democratic senators and members Of his party who
oppose him well all Republicans. He repeatedly de-
cares that the United States pledged its word its sup
port to the Versailles pact which is not tue IN the
hottest slightest degree The president succeeded
he is transparency understood this side Of the water
and his leadership is repudiated-
He framed up international arrangement without
consulting the majority of the American people through
their chosen representatives. he kept the country IN dark
during al his negotiations, consulted nobody recog
nzed representative OF American thought and fooled
himself into thinking he could fool all the people when he
back Now he is simply Taving angry at his own
absurd miscaculaton, and is trying to take it out al
who place Americas highest interests above personal obi
CATION to worship Woodrow Wilson.
The president claims to be the sole repository Of moral
al
Americas honor He declares that those and women
who adhere to the majority party in the United States
not possess spark Of sincerity in their attitude the
league Of nations and the repeal Of the wartime acts
he declares this BY Implication when he makes these broad
accusations against the majority both houses Of congress
The Republicans await with equanimty the verdict of
the people the presidents league nations and On his
entire official Fortunately the "honor7 of the
United States VIII be N better keeping after March than
It is Republicans regard Americas duty to America
as paramount to Americas duty to worship Woodrow VII
