AN VXPROPITIOIS APPEAL
It la deplorable and extremely un
fortunate that our president should
launch what promises to become
bitter political campaign at this
Innctnre lust when the United
States and the allies are giving Prus
lan militarism its death blow at
time when all our energies for win
nine the ereat war should be ce
mented Into an unbroken front.
The statement coming from Wil
son at this time, asking that the vot
ers "return a democratic con
gress, might have a de
moralizing effect In the matter of
raising further liberty loans and
making a speedy end of the conflict
if anything under the sun could
have such an effect but it probably
will not and should be given no
consideration whatever, no more at
tention than any other partisan ap-peal.
The president, in appealing to the
people to vote the straight democra
tic ticket, makes it plain that he is
a party leader; that he is playing the
game beyond any reasonable limit
in order to keep the democratic party
In power. And his late statement
repudiates his former assertion that
"politics was adjourned."
The records at Washington will
prove that the democrats, in the ma
jority of cases, and not the republl
cans, have been the ones to obstruct
war measures advocated by the pres
ident. His partisan appeal is an in
sinuation that the democratic party
is winning the war, and that a re
publican congress would make the
outcome of the great struggle un
certain. But let us see who is the
greater obstructionist:
Senator Chamberlain, one of the
most powerful democrats at the na
tional capltol and possibly the most
influential democrat In congress
from the western states, has often
clashed and disagreed with the pres
ident over war measures proposed by
the latter. Chamberlain has public
ly disapproved of the president's
"note writing," and, like Roosevelt,
lg of the opinion that the war must
be won with machine guns not
typewriters. Chamberlain Is "stand
ing by the war," first, last and al
way his loyalty Is unquestioned
yet he has not always been in accord
with every Idea advanced by Presl-
dent Wilson, has not always "stood
by the president."
WeTe It not for the fact thatyevery
voter in this country knows that It
Is the United States making war up
on the kaiser, and not the democra
tic party that is doing all the fight
' Ing, President Wilson's partisan ap
peal might have some effect on the

election. But every voter should set
his Jaws and keep but one thought
in mind at the present that of win
ning the war.

, WHERE ItOXIKS WERE SOLI)
The efforts of a few southern news
papers to make it appear that the
south did more than its share In
subscribing to the Third Liberty
loan is not sustained by the data Is
sued by the United States treasury
department. The official figures
taken from the treasury depart
ment's report ot the Third Liberty
loan show that the Fourth Southern
Federal Reserve district subscribed
only $639,965,050 out ot a total na
tional subscription ot $4,176,516,
850, or only about 15 per cent of
the total subscriptions ot the United
States, notwithstanding the four
southern federal reserve districts
comprise one-third of the federal re
serve districts of the United States.
The official figures given out by
the United States Treasury depart
ment snow that the southern states
were at the bottom of the list, not
only in total amounts subscribed to
the Third Liberty loan, but also In
the per cent of population which
subscribed to the loan. The aver
age percentage ot population of the
entire country which subscribed to
the Liberty loan was 17.7. This
low percentage was because the
southern states pulled down the na
tional average, despite the fact that
nearly 75 per cent of the money ex
pended by the government In war
camps, cantonments and like mili
tary plants hag been expended In the
southern states.

Senator McNary snd other members

will do well to retain In Congress the

The manufactured and unsupported
oh aria that "the election of a Republi
can Congress in November would be
a source of comfort and elation to the
Kaiser and his cohorts," comes with
poor grace from the Democrats in
these critical times when It Is recalled
that the votes of Republican members
of Congress were required to pass the
conscription bill and other Important
war measures. The votes of these
Republicans were positively necessary
at times when leading Democratic
Congressmen balked at the President's
war program add not only refused to
support but actively opposed soma of
the more vital war measures.
And yet despite this tact and the
further fact that the President has in
sisted that "politics Is adjourned," the
Democratic National Committee is in
dustriously circulating through Its
campaign literature the charge that
the election at this time of other than
Democrats to Congress would give
"comfort and elation to the Kaiser and
his cohorts."
In view ot the records of 8enator
McNary and Representatives Hawley,
Slnnott and McArthur, who have at all
times supported the President's war
program, this sort of propaganda
should be vigorously resented by the
voters of this state, irrespective of
their political affiliations. This un
