Appeal Is Looked Up on as Insult-Republican War .. Record Unimpeachable. President Wilson's move In bldd Inc voters of' the United States to express their approval of th War Administration by electing only De mocrats to seats in Congress reacted powerfully In Oregon yestorday, says the Oregonian of Sunday. i Perhaps Oregon citizens, since they, have so consistently sot the pace for the Nation in loyally and unitedly supporting every war cause and developement approved by: the President, felt most keenly the sting of ingratitude. - However this be, the fact is that disapproval and resent ment were voiced by thousands of loyal citizens. Criticism was voiced with perfect freedom, too. Why .not, since the President himself dlllberately swung open the lid Ions -clamped down on partisan feelings? . queried the Re publican and Progressive voters. Disapproval of the President's ap peal ranged from mild declaration that It was untimely and out of place to outburst of feeling on the part of men who have been untiring In helping i tne Administration prose cute the war and. whoso sons are fighting what tney have conceived to be the battles of the American peo-i pie. . i Typical of many expressions was the executing comment of Judge Henry E. McGinn. resent the President s action, said Judge McGinn. "I resent It with all my might. Whatever I may have thought before now I know and de clare the Administration narrowly Dartisan.

Or mar t this, from Dan J. - Ma- larkey, with two Bons lighting In France and devoting almost nis un divided energies to selective service duties: I consider Mr. Wilson's action an Insult. I see nb occasion whatever for his act. It looks as thougn ne were taking advantage of the pres ent situation to aid a political cause.

The act to encourage the production of ores, metals and minerals carries an appropriation of $50,000,000, with provisions for further appropriations, and! authorises the president to lease and operate, under royalty, any mine, smelters, etc., that he may deem neceBBary for the prosecution of the war, and as a ruel shortage is such that the operation by electri city obtained from water power is most essential. By securing the aid of our representatives In Congress from this district, It Is qulto possible some portion of this appropriation may be secured and a movement be-1 gun for an ever increasing develop- I ment of the resources of DouglaB county.
