WILSON'S APPEAL IS
TOPIC OF CRITICISM

Sting of Ingratitude.

(Continued From First Pa.)
has stirred Republicans throughout the
state.
"Oregon was first In furnishing Its
quota of volunteers. tlrst In subscribing
to war loans, first In Red Cross, war
savings and stamp drives, and has
whole-heartedly supported every war
activity. The slogan of the Republican
party Is "Stand by the war.'
Repabllraas Support Wilaosu
The record of the Republican party.
both In Congress and particularly In
this state, shows absolutely that Re
publicans have disregarded politics and
supported the President in every under
taking.
"Only yesterday. United States Sen

said:
" "The Republicans have not and will
not in any way hamper the conduct of
the war. There is no question that
tbey are as loyal as the Democrats.'
"If there were any question, what
ever, regarding the loyalty of Governor
Wlthycombe, Senator McNary or Con
gressmen McArthur, Ham-ley and Sin
nott. the Republicans of this state
would be the first to clean house. Gov
ernor Wlthycombe has earned a record
as War Governor second to none. The
welfare of the boys at the front and
the protection of their families and
relatives at home have always been
paramount In his mind. Senator Mc
Nary and Congressmen McArthur, Haw
ley and Slnnott have loyally stood be.
hind the President and have supported
his every request for legislation in fur
therance of his war programme.
KrrsrdN Attest I.oyalty.
"Governor Wlthycombe and the Re
publican members of Oregon's delega
tion in Congress have met every test
of loyalty and patriotism and to re
pudiate them now would be the rankest
and most Inexcusable ingratitude.
"In view of the records of these of
ficials m-e feel sure the Republican
voters of the slate, and particularly the
fathers and mothers of the boys at the
front, will go to the polls in increased
cumbers and express their resentment
In the ajime way the people did in the
primaries in Michigan and the elections
in Maine and Wisconsin.
"The President's letter ought to and
will increase the vote and the Repub
lican majority In Oregon."
Promlaeat Mea Outspoken.
Expressions of other representative
business and professional men of Port
land with respect to the President's
partisan appeal were these:
Ren Selling It was very undiplo
matic At this time he should have
kept politics adjourned as he asked
everyone else to do. He acted In very
bad taste. Just put me down as favor

placing members who voted agains

modern minds, but 1 cannot sefj how
the Administration would gain by "e
placing a friend like our Senator Mc
Nary with another friend like our ex
Governor West, or like our Senator
Chamberlain.
Alma D. Katx I am bitter, very bit

no one of my acquaintances who thinks
the President did right In making eucii
an appeal, and this includes Demo
crats to whom I have talked. I would
not have had the slightest object'.on
had Mr. Wilson simply asked the voters

Wilson Held Responsible for Lifting

MEDFORD, Or.. Oct. 26. (Special.)
This latest appeal by Woodrow Wilson,
the politician, to the people of the
United States to return a Democratic
Congress this Fall is an unbearable
insult to all Republicans.
In 191$ he made a similar appeal to
crumble.
and see how quick our great American I return him to power "because he kept
military ana iinanciai macmnerj u out or war." This appeal caught a
fine string of Republican voters.
Will this appeal catch a similar string?
Instead of appealing to the people to
return only loyal men and patriots to
congress, the President has asked them
to return only Democrats. He him
self has lifted the floodgates of par
tisanship; all patriots will look upon
bis act as a calamity.
PRESIDENT'S ACT IS DEPLORED
REPUBLICANS SUPPORT NATION
Country Is Everything and Party
Nothing. War-Time Slogan.
BY JOHN G. RAND. .
(Prominent attorner and business man of
Baker, t
BAKER, Or Oct. 2. (Special.) Re
publicans almost without exception
since April 6, 117. have stood by the
President in every measure he has ad
vocated. At bis suggestion politics was
supposed to be adjourned during- the
war and only those known to be loyal
were considered as worthy of being
voted for. The country was everything
and party nothing to every worthy
member of the Republican party.
Loyalty appeals instinctively to Re
publicans and the fact that the Presi
dent of the United States was himself
a Democrat did nofenter into the mind
of anyone. He was the President of
the United States, elected by a majority
of the American people, the Com
mander-in-Chief of all our forces, and
we were fighting for the liberties of
the world, including our own. These
considerations entered only into our
regard for him.
Now, when the President stoops from
his high office and asks us Republicans
to elect only. Democrats to Congress,
even to the extent of electing such
men as Henry Ford, the pacifist, the
man who would pull down the Amer
ican flag from his factories and never
permit it to float there, who would
have his son exempted so that some
other man's son would be compelled
to take his place and perhaps to die
for his country, the only answer which
Republicans should give is to elect no
one to Congress except Republicans,
providing their loyalty is unquestioned.

President Wilson's Latest Appeal
Held Grievous Mistake,
BY BRUCE DENNIS.
Former Chairman of Republican State Cen
tral Committee.
LA GRANDE. Or, Oct. 26. (Special.)
All America Ss fighting this war;
America is fightlnir this war behind
President Wilson: he Is our leader In
every movement and we, as Americans,
are behind him with every life and
every dollar in the Nation. That he
should depart from what seems the fair
and impartial path politically is a mat
ter of deep regret.
Is the United States Army made up
from the Democratic party? Is the
United States Navy made up of only
Democrats? Is President Wilson, as
Commander-in-Chief, going to demand
that no one but Democrats be per
mitted to fight for the flag, or that
Republicans be ostracized and elimi
nated in the great war work at home?
The President has made a grievous
mistake and one that the whole Nation,
Including many members of his own
party, will regret.

BT CHARLES HALL,

MARSHFIELD, Or.. Oct. 26. (Spe
ciaL) I was shocked on reading the
almost unbelievable statement of Presl
dent Wilson advising votes for Demo
cratic aspirants to office. Records dis
close support of Republicans on all Ad
ministration war measures were' more
ready than from members of his own
party. This adherence to party politics
when pontics is adjourned Is discon
certing, to say the least.
The direct, eloquent and convincing
manner in which the President
answered the Raisers government ask
ing for an armistice is a source of pride
and satisfaction to all loyal Amer
icans. That this universal confidence
should be so shaken by the President
descending to partisan politics in so
short a space of time is regretable.
