WILSON'S DICTATION
RESENTED
Woman Says Appeal Assures
Republican Success.
DR. BOYD DENOUNCES PLEA
Commander Stevens, of G. A. II., Re
fers to President's Bid for Votes
as "Dirty Outrage."
One resultant effect of Presiden
Wilson's partisan appeal for the uni
versal election of Democratic Congress
men is to be the solidification and
marshaling of Republican forces. In
the view of representative Oregon vot
ers the President's dictatorial attitude
will be highly effective in achieving
the result he sought to forestall
cleavage of the voting upon partisan
lines.
k-xpresslons given yesterday by club
women, civic leaders, clergymen and
G. A. R. members were almost unani
mous In forecasting a heavier vote for
Republican candidates than would have
been given had the President trusted to
the good judgment and common sense
of the American voter in casting his
ballot. Republicans and Progressives
will resent Mr. Wilson's attempt at
dictatorship by getting to the polls
and voting a straight ticket. It is de
dared.
Womra Resent Dictation.
"I thinlc Mr. Wilson haa given the
Republicans the November election."
asserted Airs. Julius Loulsson, a leader
In civic circles. "I think he has made
sure of the election of Republican can
didates all over the United States. He
has given them something to tight for."
From this view there was but one
dissenting voice among a large number
of voters asked for the expression of
their opinions.
Mrs. J. P. Chapman said:
"While I am a Republican, I have
always been a sincere supporter of
President Wilson. I realize that his
requests for a Democratic Congress
will mean the exclusion of many loyal
Republicans who have stood by him
through the Administration, but I am
sure that he would not ask it if he did
not feel that it were to the best inter
ests of the country at this time."
In vivid contrast stands out the com
ment of G. A. It. members, particularly
as expressed by Tillman H. Stevens,
department commander for Oregon.
Mr. Stevens branded Mr. Wilson's ac
tion as "an outrage."
Appeal Declared "Outrage.
"Wilson's partisan plea is an
outrage," Commander Stevens said.
We feel we have been Insulted the
great Union and great North. The idea
that you have to go into the Demo
cratic party to find loyal men to sup
port this war is an insult. Many of
the 'boys who get about the Court
house reported Saturday that a good
many Democrats will not stand for the
President's action and denounce it as
ill-advised. One effect will be to solid
ify the Republican party that's cer
tain." Mayor George L. Baker said:
"In my opinion President Wilson has
made a serious blunder in bis open
stand in behalf of the Democratic
Tarty. The records show the President
has had the active support of the Re
publicans in his war policies even
stauncher than from many of the
Democratic members of Congress. To
turn these facts aside now and urge
the election of Democrats to the
elusion of Republicans is not only an
act of Ingratiudo but an insult to the
big. loyal men of the Republican party.
There certainly could not have been
proper sincerity behind the President's
earlier statement that politics was ad
journed for the period of the war, for
this move is political and nothing else.
The American people have good Judg
ment and will use it. I agree with the
President's original position that this
is a time for men and not for parties,
and I am very sorry he has taken the
partisan position he has. for I fear it
may not be for the Nation's best in
terests." lemoorats were not afraid to ex
preys criticism and deplore the Issuance
of the partisan appeal. Dr. J. H. Boyd,
pastor oi the First Presbyterian Church,
was one of these.
"I am a Democrat, if anything." said
Dr. Boyd, "and I have been most loyal
to President Wilson, but I exceedingly
regret that he, was willing to make
euch an appeal. A coalition Cabinet
would have met my idea at this time,
rather than an appeal for a partisan
Congress."
Minister Sayat "I afortanate."
To Rev. Francis Burgette Short, pas
tor of the Wilbur Memorial Methodist
Church. President Wilson's request fo
a new Democratic Administration is
"unfortunate undemocratic and a
great blunder in what otherwise
would have been an illustrious Admin
istration in the interests of the people,
for the people and by the people."
"What the President has done," said
Mrs. Alexander Bernstein, "Is not Amer
ican. It's not the proprr thing for him
to dictate how we should vote. He
made a great mistake and it will re
sult in Just opposite effects from what
he thought. People In general will re
sent It. The Republican party has
stood behind him In everything."
Pained and resentful emotions en
srendered by Mr. Wilson In the hearts
of Oregon patriots spurred many to
spontaneous protest. Numbers of men
and women of prominence did not wait
to be interviewed, but called by tele
phone to give vent to their feelings.
The list of protest might be indefinitely
extended, but the general tenor of all
has been indicated here.
War Held Supreme Issue.
Mrs. William MacM.ister, whose time
Is devoted largely to war activities,
gave expression to the widespread dis
appointment over the narrowness, in
saying:
"While I realize that It Is the sacred
duty of every citizen of this great Na
tion to stand solidly behind the Presi
dent as never before in its history, I
feel and have felt ever since we en
tered this war that if President Wilson
could rise to the greatest opportunity
ever presented to a President of these
United States he would earnestly seek
to surround hinislf with the greatest
men of the country, irrespective of their
political affiliations.
"I believe that he would find amongst
the Republicans great men who. like
himsflf. have io other thought in
service than the highest possible good
of this Nation and her allies, and who
would stand as loyally behind him in
everything that would serve to bring
thlJ war to victorious conclusion and
satisfactory peace as he would among
those of his own party.
"Therefore 1 cannot but regret any
appeal that is as partisan as that which
the President h.-is presented to the vot
ers of the country."

become secure and. so far as toe sun
Ject peoples were concerned, I had
reached the end of my resources.
Moreover, an event was approaching
in the United States which, I believed,
would inevitably have the greatest in

and of democracy the Presidential
campaign. I felt that there was noth

I concluded that I was certainly wast
ing valuable time in this remote part
of the world.
Turkey Anxloas for Peace,
I had another practical reason for
returning home, and that was to give
the President and -the State Depart
ment, by word of mouth, such first
hand information as I possessed on
the European situation. It was es
pecially im ortant to give them the
latest sidelights on the subject of
peace. In the latter part of 1915 and
the early part of 1916 this was the
uppermost topic in Constantinople.
Enver Pasha was constantly asking me
to intercede with the President to end
the war. Several times he intimated
that Turkey was war-weary and that
its salvation depended on getting an
early peace.
I have already described the condi
tions that prevailed a few months after
the outbreak of the war, but, by the
end of 1915, they were infinitely worse.
When Turkey decided on the deporta
tion and massacre of her subject peo
ples, especially the Armenians and
Greeks, she had signed her own eco
nomic death warrant. These were the
people, as I ha'e already said, who
controlled her industries and her fi
nance and developed her agriculture,
and the material consequences of this
great national crime now began to
be everywhere . apparent. The farms
were lying uncultivated and thousands
of peasants were daily dying of starva-
lon. As the Armenians and Greeks
were the largest taxpayers, their an
nihilation greatly reduced the state
revenues, and the fact that practically,
all Turkish ports were blockaded had
shut off customs collections.
Empire rar Bankruptcy.
NEW YORK, Oct 27. Will H. Hays,
chairman of the Republican National
Committee, made public here tonight a
statement in which he replied in behalf
from Germany as soon as the direct ' Dis Party to President Wilson's ap
peal to the Nation to return a Demo
cratic Congress. In his statement Mr.
Hays said:
President Wilson has questioned the
motives and fidelity of your represen
tatives in Congress. He has thereby
impugned their loyalty and denied their
patriotism. His challenge is to yo
who elected those representatives. You
owe it to them, to the honor of you
great party and to your otvn self re
spect to meet that challenge squarely,
not only as Republicans, but as Ameri
cans. I, as your chairman, call upon
you to do it.
Accnsatlons Held Unjust.
"Mr. Wilson accords the Republicans
no credit whatever for having sup
ported the ivar measures' proposed by
his Administration, although they have
done so witn greater unanimity than
the members or his own party. Despite
that fact he accuses them of having
tried to usurp his proper lunctions.
At no time in no way have they
tried to take control of the war out of
his hands. The President knows that.
The country knows it. You know it.
A more ungracious, more unjust, more
wanton, more mendacious accusation
was never made by the most reckless
stump orator, much less by a President
of the United States for partisan pur
poses. It is an insult, not only to
every loyal Republican in .Congress, but
to every loyal Republican in the land.
It fully merits the resentment which
rightfully and surely will find ex
pression at the polls.
Republicans Are Pro-War.
"Mr. Wilson grudgingly admits that
the Republicans have been 'pro-war.
railroad is opened. All these things
make it an excellent time for us to take
up the matter of peace."
New Ambassador Appears,
I asked the Minister of War to talk
the matter over with Falkenhayn in
his proposed interview, and report to
me when he returned. In some way
this conversation came to the ears of
Ambassador, Graf
who immediately
called to discuss the subject. He ap
parently wished to impress upon me
two things: that Germany would never
surrender Alsace-Lorraine and that she
would insist on the return of all her
colonies. I replied that it was appar
ently useless to discuss peace unless
England first won some great military
victory.
"That may be so," replied the Graf,
but you can hardly expect that Ger
many shall let England win such a vic
tory merely to put her in a frame of
mind to consider peace. But I think
that you are wrong. It is a mistake to
say that Great Britain has net already
won great victories. I think that she
has several very substantial ones to
her credit. Just consider what she has
done. She has established her unques
tioned supremacy of the seas and driven
off all German commerce. She has not
only not lost a foot of her own terri
tory, but she has gained enormous new
domains. She has annexed Cyprus and
Egypt and has conquered all the Ger
man colonies. She is in possession of
considerable part of Mesopotamia-
How absurd to say that England has
gained nothing by the war!"

this, Enver and the ruling party feared

"Remember thati whether you will or

no fine distinctions. A refusal to sus

their eyes, be read as a refusal to sus

of our peace commission to secure ths

Representative Hawley of Oregon to
day. "If the Republicans have control of

it will be a point of honor with them
to continue to give the country and the
