President Wilson's appeal to the Amer
lean people and his cordial Endorsement
Of Gov. Cox, however, are incidents
that have become disturbing factors to
the republicans. and they have not been
able to even approximate the effect his
entrance into the conflict will have on
voters. ana especially the women and
others who have no party ties. The ole.
fnent OF doubt as to where the new
voters win go. together with the com.

causes feeling OF uneasiness among
the republicans In the face OF their
