heroically for her independence, will
soon recover from the defeat she suf-

Party Leaders Ready to Meet
Intended Criticism of
Administration.
BITTER POLITICAL FIGHT
IS EXPECTED TO RESULT
Chairman White Points Out That
Patience Has Been Exhausted
by Lack of Deeds.

The republican leaders in Congress
and republican managers outside have
not the remotest intention Of remain
ing silent under the attacks Of the
democratic congressional and political
captains. Fair warning has been
given by the democrats of their in
tention to apply criticism to the acts
and alleged omissions of the admin
istration and Congress, in control of
the opposition party. and the chal-
lenge has been accepted by the other
side. 1t looks as II the long-suffering
public is in for a hot time with the
politicians.
Thus far the democrats have based
their fault finding with the repub-
than commission. House Leader Mon
dell. in his statement published in
Sundays Star. promptly came back
at the critics and stoutly defended
the Congress. The republican leaders
in House and Senate intend from this
time on to carry chip on the
shoulder" all the time. and to hit back
whenever aSsailed.
Democrats Open Guns.
1t is noted that the democratic ma
tional committee held its fire until
criticism began to be voiced by scat
tered newspapers here and there
which are classed as independents. re-
publican or near-republican. The
latest statement coming from the
publicity bureau of the democratic
national committee. at hand today
took pains to quote and dwell at
length upon the animadversions OF
these journals on the course Of Con-
gress.
Chairman George White of the dem
ocratic national committee, for his
part, took pains to very carefully
point out how patient and consider
ate the democrats have been with the
opposition, waiting for them to sup
ply deeds: how they have sought to
assist the republicans with the shin
ing light Of democratic support. as
the republicans struggled in their
darkness and over their benighted
path. But now. according to the
democratic managers. as they say
be a virtue and they must really be
excused ii they point out few in
stances of republican shortcomings,
as viewed by the democrats.
Would Make Republicans Mad.
why" say these democratic man
ayers in effect. even your own re-
publican papers are beginning to fnd
fault with you. so what can you ex-
pect from u.s."
How far the public will be able to
discriminate between political hay
making and the facts in the case. in
the ordinations and recriminations
OF the politicians will develop.
Poets license" is not a marker to
"politician's leeway" in the heat and
stress of a campaign such as is now
being entered upon. and the public will
have to keep both eyes open and
Judge for itself. And a little grain Of
humor will help lot in arriving at a

political and actually patriotic allega-
tions and dcnials. it is suggested.
One result has been attained by the
democratic attacks. 1t is said, and
that is to make the republicans thor

mish and counter attack whenever a
