be, is it perfectly clear that Mr.. Blaine
is a deliberate bolter that he has no
claim on the Republican voter what
ever? There may be Republicans who
may be misead by finding Blaine
name in the Republican column. It's
mistake, an imposition on Republi-
cans, and Blaine merits crushing re-
buke at the polls for bis.disloyalty. His
conduct proves his unfitness for such a
important and dignified position, no
matter what banner he marches under.
An evader and repudiator cannot be
depended on to be the same tomorrow
as he was today.
We Republicans are up against it.
Against what? Whether TO vote blank
on the governorship, or for Democrat
of American loyalty, or for con
sciencelees party bolter.
When marking your ballot think how
Blaine has repudiated Harding and al
Republican platforms, and that he is
not at all likely to vote.for Harding.

NATION CLAMORS FOR
RETURN OF LENROOT
Needed in Congress to Back Up Hard
ing and Coolidge at Washington.

Needed in Congress to Back Up Hard
ing and Coolidge at Washington
Reelection of Irvine L. Lenroot as
United States senator from Wisconsin
is vitality important to the nation, even
more than it is to the Republican par
ty according to John Adams, vice
chairman of the Republican national
committee, in a statement to the press.
at should be pressed upon the peo-
pie of Wisconsin that the election of
Republican senate is almost as vital
as the election of Republican presi-
dent" said Mr. Adams.
Senator Harding will be the next
president. The next senate will be Re-
publican, but it is not assured that the
Republicans will have a good working
majority. If we are to have real
Republican administration, we must
have majority of at least twelve.
Such majority cannot be had unless
the Republicans in every state where
senators will be elected this year work
in the remaining weeks of the cam
paign as they have not worked since
the Chicago convention.
Republicans everywhere are opti-
mistic; the reason for that optimism
should be capitalized, not neglected.
Any Republican can visualize the sit
uation Mr. Harding would face if he
should be compelled to deal with a
senate almost evenly divided.
"The issues before the senate will
be tremendous The ending of the war
conditions, the question of a league
Of nations, the whole tax policy, the
merchant marine. the tariff, and
hundred other grave problems can be
solved rightly only with the aid of the
senate.
"The senate must be safely Repub
lican to solve them properly. To real
iEe this, one has only to consider the
case Of Senator Lenroot, as an illus
tration.
"The nation cannot afford to lose
the services of Senator Lenroot. Len
root is merely not Wisconsin's asset.
he is the nations asset Men like Len
root, Of great constructive ability.
trained in legislative experience, and
even tempered, will be needed IN the
senate for the next ten years. as never
before in the history Of our country.
He is a Republican, and the Republic
an party is rightly proud Of him. He
is a liberal statesman, who serves
America and all the people first, last
and all the time.

peace, may be preserved The senate
is the high court of final decision, and
the action of the senate may be deter
mined by a single vote.
In the face of this issue, we cannot
afford to allow personal preferences,
if they exist, to override principle. The
consequences are too vital.
Our soldiers went to war to defeat
the purpose of Germany "to join the
fortunes of men everywhere" We sent
our sons to Europe to fight for nation
al independence; and we will break
faith with those who died and those
that live if we now sacrifice the nation
for which they fought to the principle
of internationalism.
In the process Of Supreme sacri-
flee" the Democratic party has repudi-
ated its solemn pledge and intena-
tionalized the Panama canal; denying
our people any greater privileges in
the canal they had built than those
enjoyed by other nations that never
contributed dollar nor owned a foot
of its soil.
Process of Destruction.
AS further step in this process of
Joining our fortunes with the for
tunes of men everywhere" the presi-
dent proposes the removal of econom-
ic barriers" which, if applied as stat
ed, would open our ports, as he has
opened the canal, to foreign goods on
the same terms as our own. It is a
process of destruction and well de-
nominated by him "a supreme sacri-
fee.
Under the name Of mandates" Of
the League of Nations, a military gov
eminent is being imposed upon Meso-
potamia and Syria. II may be neces-
sary; but it is neither necessary nor
proper that the United States shall
become a party to it. Whether we
shall or not may be finally determined
by the senate, and by a single vote in
the senate.
The Republican party proposes to
maintain those separate fortunes for
which our fathers fought. American
independence Of Europe has meant
much for the world as well as for our
selves, and its sacrifice would be a
sacrifice for all mankind as well as
for ourselves.
No Military League.
If disarmament can be brought
about it viii be by friendly agree
ment, as with Canada, and not by a
military league, as established at
Paris.
If the future peace of the world is
to be encouraged, it will be by the
eodifeation of international law and
the establishment Of court of law
judges, to which the nations, in free
association, will submit disputes. Only

REPUBLICANS INSURE
ECONOMICAL CONDUCT

Washington.-Not one man In ten
thousand realizes the enormous ex-
penses run up by the present Govern
ment The disbursements are roughly
$15,000,000 a day, more than u year
after the war. In 1914 the people
expostulated because the daily dis
bursements by the Treasury had
reached 100000. How gladly would
the people grooming under the impo-
sitions Of protiteers and the burden Of
taxes welcome a return to those hal
cyon days Congress and the new Ad-
ministration will have to deal with
the reduction of Government expendi-
lures.
The same party that has sweiled
them returned to power will never re-
duce them, because II claims the gov
eminent Is being economically admin
istered. The Republican party will
delight in reducing these enlarged ex.
penses for clerk hire, and the insa-
table bureaus that have been built up
into money spending machines. By
holding in their hands all lines of ex-
pendltures the new Congress and new
Executive working together will cut
down excessive items and eliminate
others 10 an aggregate of hundreds
Of millions Of dollars.

Never before has the chief executive
of the nation openly proposed to sacri-
fee it, and asked the support Of its
own people to accomplish that object,
Shall we sacrifice America? That
is the issue in this campaign; so de-
clared by President Wilson himself, in
specific terms, on March 5, 1919.
President Wilson represented to the
European and Asiatic nations that he
was authorized by the people of the
United States to commit this sacrifice
by giving up our separate national
fortunes and "joining our fortunes
with the fortunes of men everywhere. -
He was not so authorized. Whether
he or his successor is to be so author
lied, is to be determined in this cleo
ton. He cannot claim that the world
government he proposes, under the
name of the constitution of the League
of Nations, is to be benefit to Amer
lea; for he has expressly designated il
as supreme sacrifice" The senate
alone stood between US and this sacri-
flee and saved US from it; and the SEN
ate alone may be called upon to stand
between US and this same supreme
sacrifice" in the next congress.

One vote may determine the fate OF
the nation. The election of one Demo

LENRO0T'S STAND
BY FRED c. SHEASBY.

Senator Lenroot was one of the
men who said that he would rather
resign his seat in the United States
senate than vote to ratify the
league of nations covenant Presi-
dent Wilson brought home from
Paris.
Senator Lenroot led the fight fce
| reservations to Americanize the
league. He does not take the posi-
ton that America should stand
aloof. He believes that we should
go into an association of nations
SO that the moral influence of the
United States might be used
against war, but he is opposed to
the league the president asked the
senate to ratify.
More than that, he has taken the
position that the United States
must not at any time sacrifice its
right to determine for itself when,
where and for what it shall go to
war.
He is absolutely opposed to any
plan whereby American soldiers
would be used to police troubled
spots in Europe.
He believes that America should
go to war only when American in
terests are involved.
He led the fight against Article
10.

war viii come from the setting up OF
centralized military power, which by
its assembly, exercising, as the presi-
dent has said, "the major forces of
mankind" will subject the world to
an INSCRIPTIONS and irresponsible po-
litica and military despotism.
The Democratic party will deny that
such a power will be INSCRIPTIONS or
despotic. The history of the world
proves that it will be.
Safeguard OF Nation.
The safeguard Of the nation is the
election of senate pledged to sup
port our constitution, our interests,
and our American policies Of peace
and friendship with all nations and
governmental union with none. We
have fought four wars with European
nations to prevent the control Of
American affairs by Europe, and won
them all. 1t is certain that If the
League of Nations had been in exist
ence we would never have gained oIr
independence. Do not let us now COM
NIT the supreme folly and the "su-
preme sacrifice" of voluntarily sur
rendering the independence and sep
arate station in the world which we
have won.
Wisconsin will give Harding and
Coolidge a great majority on Nov. 2.
To help give full effect to that verdict
against wisconsin. il must give Len
root a great majority also.
If Wisconsin is to give whole YER
dict against Wisconsin, it must vote
the whole republican national ticket
for Wisconsin: Harding, Coolidge,

HARDING WANTS LENRooT.

Warren G. Harding. Republican can
didate for President, appeals to the
voters of Wisconsin for the return of
Lenroot to the United States Senate in
these words of .earnestness:
IF we are to put America on the
right track and bring about the restor-
alton of sound economic conditions in
this country under a congress that
makes the laws, it is just as important
to elect Republican congress as it is
to elect a Republican president. 1t is
through and by the Republican party
that constitutional government is to be
resumed in America.
Il earnestly hope for the reelection
of United States Senator Irwin l.. Len
root from Wisconsin. To my mind
there is no ADLER man in the United
States Senate than Mr.. LeDroot. He is
one OF the most genial and loveable
men have ever known, keen in debate,
fair, clean fighter, industrious, con
scientious. He is really big man. In
the great days before us we need men
like Senator Lenroot He is a great
American and Wisconsin has reason to
feel proud of him.
Thus speaks MIR, Harding of free will
and without a syllable of plea for him
self, and shows him to be big man
without selfishness. And is not that
what MIR. Harding says in accord with
what The Tribune has maintained dur
ing the campaign when Mr., Lenroot
first stood as candidate for the Sen
ate and what it maintains today
If you are hundred per cent Amer
lean you can prove it in no better way
than by voting for Lenroot Nov End.
