' WILSON'S PLEA WAS OPPOSED BY | PARTYLEADERS Attack on Republican Loyalty Made Despite Protests of Democrats HAS AROUSED COUNTRY As Much Interest in Congres sional Contests as in Pres idential Election Washington. Oct. 31. President Wilson's appeal to the voters of the 'country to return a Democratic Con j gress has precipitated a national po j litical coYitest which has eclipsed even I the public interest in the war. Never before in the history of the country has an off year Congressional I contest excited so much feeling. The .'interest rivals that Which precedes j the settlement of a rresident'.nl eon test and extends from coast to coast. | Just as President Wilson estab | lished a precedent in appealing for ; partisan support in the midst of a great war, so the result has been the j staging of a contest so dramatic that I the few remaining Hays of the contest ! will witness a momentous struggle. Feared Flarebaek on Appeal It is well understood In Washing- HAHRISBTTRG TELEGRAPH ton that the President's decision to appeal for the election of a Demo cratic Congress was opposed by prom inent political leaders, who saw in it danger from the Democratic view point. These men professed to believe the President would have annihilated the Republican party if he had taken it into his confidence and relied upon the successful outcome of the war for the prestige which that would give. They also objected on the ground j that in making the appeal tl\,e Presi dent was compelled to admit the equal ' patriotism of the Republican organ ! (ration as compared with the Demo | crattc. which in turn left the lnfer | enee to be drawn that It was personal loyalty which the President sought | rather than loyal adherents to tho i cause of the country. | 1 They frankly feared a flareback | , from the appeal. But since It was i made there is absolute unanimity of j Democratic belief that it shall be , backed up. They realize that since | the President has asked 'for a vote of ] confidence failure to receive it would ; have extremely serious consequences ito the Democratic party. The inten j stty with which they feel this Is ! assumed to be responsible for the ! somewhat violent political argument 'advanced by certain members of the .Cabinet, among whom Secretary Pan | iels has assumed a prominent posi tion because of his characterization of the Republicans as "Junkers." lias I nited Republican Party Never since the split in the Repub , lican party over the Taft-Roosevelt contest has there been such unan- I lmity of spirit among Republican I leaders whether they were once "Old j Guard" Republicans or "Progressive." j Men like Borah, Medill McCormiek, j Miles Poindexter and others are join i ing hands with representatives of the regular Republicans like Lodge, Pen i:ose, Smoot, Nelson and others. Reports from all over the country 1 received at Washington are to the I effect that the Republicans are rtght ! ing mad, mad clear through, and that [there has been a remarkable realign ment of the party. The doubtful ele ment of the situation lies with the possible effect of the appeal among ! the rank and file of the Republican I party, which like the rank and file of I the Democratic party, is intensely loyal to the country qnd which has been taught to regard party lines • lightly In the past few years. Demo crats hope and Republicans fear that this element of the party will prefer to support the President now while the war is in progress and leave party matters to be settled later. In spite of these elements of doubt, I Republican leaders believe the ap | peal to the country has fallen on | deaf ears. They insist the country j is no more of the opinion that the I ! success of the war depends upon the ' 1 election of a Democratic Congress j | than was the Senate impressed with j 1 the belief that the passage of the ; woman suffrage amandment was 1 I necessary to its successful proseeu l tion. They point out that the present i Democratic administration was elect j ed by the aid of Republican votes j ' and that the country acted upon ; : the assumption It was electing a : i party group to keep the country out ] [of war rather than to conduct one. ' One of the issues that will be I i clearly settled in the contest is j whether the country believes the war , I should he fought to a definite con- j I elusion or whether there should be j 1 a settlement by negotiations. Sena s tor Lodge, who would become the. chairman of the Foreign Relations' Committee of the Senate in the event that body becomes Republican, has left no doubt of his position. He stands for unconditional surrender! l of Germany. That position is sup- j | ported by such Senate leaders as Nel- ' son, of Minnesota: McCumber, of 1 ! North Dakota, and others, while the | two former Presidents, Taft and! j Roosevelt, leave no doubt as to the ; : position they occupy. I-'or a Coalition Government ! Republican leaders to-day definite-' lv predicted that the next Congress, House and Senate, would be cap-: lured from the Democrats. They base their prediction upon l the belief that the voters throughout | the country resent the appeal to put j "only Democrats on guard," and they | indicate that the verdict at the polls, i while it will not be in any sense a repudiation of the President, will be j a verdict for a coalition government, i with the present Democratic Presi dent continued in power, supported ; by a Republican Congress. The fact that the principal com mittees of Congress are now in the • hands of men whose war records are j decidedly dubious, is one of the chief reasons Republicans give for expect j ing the voters to change the political complexion of the House and Senate. The appointment of such men as j Lodge at the head of the Foreign Af j fairs Committee of the Senate; Pen rose as chairman of the Finance Committee, it is pointed out, will in sure the setlement of peace terms upon the basis that the majority of the American people desire, and the drafting of a revenue measure which will distribute the burden of taxation I in an equitable manner, i As indicative of the attitude of many voters throughout the country, a telegram from the three county chairmen in lowa was received by Representative Towner to-dav, in which it was stated that the Repub licans of that section resent the in sinuation jhat a Democratic Con gress is necessary- to winning the war. "We stand aghast at Wilson's ap- I peal for the power of a Caesar," the I communication stated'. "We believe ' that Republicans in Congress who • have led in legislation for national preparedness and for vigorous prose cution of the war can more safely be trusted by 100 per cent. Americans to make peace terms with Germany than Democrats of the Kitchin, Dent and Clark type who have obstructed that legislation. We indorse Senator Lodge's two-word platform of un conditional surrender and oppose anv peace by negotiation." The Rev. Longpre Objects but Women May Wear 'Em Lincoln, Neb.—Neither the law of God nor the law of man—at least in Nebraska—prevents women from j wearing men's clothes when they are I engaged in war work. Attorney Gen eral W. E. Reed ruled recently. The opinion was given to the Rev. W B Longpre, of Maxwell, Neb., who wrote Governor Keith Neville a let ter, saying the wearing of men's gar ments by women was against Bible doctrine and asking if it was con trary to state law. Governor Neville put the question up to the state legal adviser and the opinion followed, CROhPER, VISITOR AT MEADE. laids work of draft men Camp Meade, M<C.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Shatter: I have been in the hospital for two weeks, and have just learned through Hector Garand of the loss of Wal ter. How may 1 tell you of my sor row? Walter and I have been to gether a great deal and I have learn ed to care greatly for him. Last Thursday morning he with eight others, went out on a patrol, led by Garand, who has thirteen Boches. Walter had made previous arrangements with Garand that he ; would attack a Boche balloon if he ! had the opportunity. North of Rheims in the region of Craonne, he saw one and dove at it } to attack it. The Germans opbned j tire from the ground, a severe tire, > apd Garand says that Walter con- * tinned on down to the ground and ! landed seemingly normally They j all believe that perhaps a piece of shell hit the motor of Walter's ma- i chine,, causing him to land. From | what they saw they believe he is safe and sound but a prisoner. j Tomorrow I shall personally go to the Red Cross and make every in- [ quiry and have them do everything I they can towards locating him. ! Members of the escadrille have drop ped notes over the lines, asking for i information and soon, 1 am hoping, ; we shall have good news for you, j That he had the good will of all} people he met, that he was well' I liked for his personality, his char- j I acter, for there never was a more conscientious boy than Walter, nor a j I better one, may prove to be for you, |as it is for me, a truly comforting' thought. He was a mighty tine pilot j and whatever happened-was beyond | his control.
