THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26, 191S. ELECT DEMOCRATS REQUESTS L i .'President Makes Appeal ' . American Voters. to CONGRESS CONTROL', AIM ; KxecuUre Declares Failure to Re tnrn Democratic Majority In 3fo TCmbcr Will Handicap Him. ' 'WASHINGTON. Oct. 23. President "Wilson, in a statement today addressed to his fellow countrymen, asked them . to return a Democratic Congress in the . November elections if they have ap- proved of his leadership in this criti ' cat time. Failure to return a Democratic ma jority to both the Senate and House of ; Jtepresentatives, the President eaid. would not only eerlously impair his , power to administer "the great trust assigned me by the Constitution,'' but - would be interpreted abroad as a re- pjdlatlon "of his leadership. this state between Governor A. O. Stanley and Dr. B. L. Brunner for a seat in the United States Senate." The telegram was sent following a letter received several days ago from President Wilson, addressed to Hon. Polk Laffoon, Covington, Ky. This letter stated that Governor .Stanley, "did seek the advice of the bureau of education before vetoing the bill pro hibiting the teaching of the German language in the public schools of Ken tucky and did, in my judgment, act en tirely with a view to the general edu cational interests and certainly should not be considered as having in that matter, been guilty of the least touch of disloyalty of any kind. I have entire confidence In Governor Stanley." OREGON DELEGATION SUPPORTS WAR CAUSE I to Marshal Foch, to the Generals and to the armies in the field.

Com menting tonight on President Wilson's appeal to the people to return a Demo gatlon discloses that they have loyally cratic Congress In the November elec- - - "My fellow countrymen: The crressional elections are at hand.

"If you have approved of my leader ; l khip and wish me to continue to be ' jour unembarrassed spokesman in af fairs at home and abroad, I earnestly t. beg that you will express yourself un " t mistakably to that effect by returning a Democratic majority to both the'Sen cue and House of Representatives. ' "I am your servant and will accept t your judgment without cavil, but my jower to administer the great trust assigned me by the Constitution would be seriously impaired should your judg ment be adverse, and I must frankly tell you so because so many critical issues depend upon your verdict. - Plain Truth Held Xerrasary. t, "No scruple of taste must in grim times like these be allowed to stand - in the way of speaking the plain truth. "1 have no thought of suggesting that any political party is paramount in matters of patriotism. I feel too deeply the sacrifices which have been made in this war by all our citizens, irre spective of party affiliations, to har- i bor such an idea. "I mean only that the difficulties and ' delicacies of our present task are of a , aort that makes it imperatively neces sary that the Nation should give its undivided support to the Government under a unified leadership and that a Republican Congress would divide the leadership. "The leaders of the minority in the present Congress have unquestionably leen pro-war. but they have been anti Administration. At almost every turn -- since we entered the war they have sought to take the choice of policy and the conduct of the war out of my hands and put it under the control of instru mentalities of their own choosing, l aity of C'ommaad Desired. "This is no time either for divided council or for divided leadership. Unity vt command is as necessary now in - t-ivil action as it is upon the field of liattle. If the control of the House and the Senate should be taken away from the party now in power an opposing majority could assume control of legis lation and oblige all action to be taken amidst contest and obstruction. "The return of a Republican majority to either house of the Congress would moreover be interpretive on the other tiido of the ivatcr as a repudiation of my leadership.

It is well understood there ms well as here that the Republican leaders desire not so much to support the President as to control him. supported every patriotic measure con sidered essential to a vigorous prose cution of the country's war programme. Representatives Hawley, Sinnott and McArthur, according to the records, have been steadfast in their patriotism. In view of this, it is not expected that there will be any request from the Ad ministration to elect Democratic candi dates to Congress, as had been done in certain other states. War had been declared against Ger many when Senator McNary began his service in the United States Senate In the Summer of 1917, but a review of his record discloses that he supported the folol wing measures: McNary's amendment to- the food control bill appropriated JO.000.000 for reclamation projects; food-control bill, aircraft board; draft of other than alien enemies into military service; trading with the enemy act; additional war bonds; deficiency of war appropri ations; war revenue conference bill tion if they approve of his course, Colo nel Theodore Roosevelt eaid: 'The President's - statement is an announcement that he is a partisan leader first and President of all the people second. If is, of course, the repudiation of one of hi former statements to the ef fect that politics was adjourned a statement which, of coarse, he has al ready repudiated by his action. "I have no comment just at this time. but I will deal with the matter in a speech after' I have had time fo read the document which all good Ameri cans will regard as the most lament able appeal to politics ever made by a President during a great war which has been heartily supported by all good citizens without regard to party, but which, so far as there have been party differences at all, has been more heart ily supported by his political oppon ents than by his political friends." menc. omnou. nas naa numerous re- NaUon-wide prohibition; declaration of CHAIRMAN HATS COMMENTS from Western States, where most of the war against Austria-Hungary; war risk insurance; soldiers' and sailors' rlvM r icht a Kill caln rtf ftliftl nronertv luullJi iftv ftiviii '-.-'ici ii nnhlif. a nr-ttnn - roilrmd rnntrnl bill wnicn win oe quite extensively auect- various amendments to the espionage undeveloped water power is to be I ed by water-power legislation.
