Neither hesi tated In volunteering his services, lloth aro now rendering that sorvlce in tho common cause of rcdeomlng the country from the misrule and liabltual Incapacity of the democratic party now nearlng the end of its third failure In half a century." President Wilson, Senator Sher man said, relied upon a one-torm plcuKO In the democratic platform In 3 918 when a candidate, "but not only failed to keep it whou in office,, but repudiated It In his Palmer let ter a month beforo he was Inaugur ated.

"Tho republican party does not roly morely upon the broken faith of its political advorsnry. The perform ances of the democratic party are worse than its broken promlsos. It Is a hclploss aggregation drifting aimlessly In our foreign affairs and driving toward industrial ruin lu our democratic affairs. "It lias utterly failed to read tho significance of world events and re sulting conditions In their relation to our future trade. It leaves us ex posed aud helpless for either effec tive or defensive business prepara tions at homo or abroad when peace Is restored, "The largest affirmative result In this democratic administration Is Its appropriations. Its largest negative thing Is Its treasury deficit. Well worthy of a promoter rather than a financier. "It has restored to an adius stamp tax In time of peace for the first timo In our history. Its excise taxes on occupation, Investments, merchan dise and Insurance with Its small col lections of customs duties, brand the democratic party as incapable In peace as Incompetent to devolop and protect our resources for defensive war."

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31. Cou- RreBs put all other affairs aside to day and devoted Itself to enacting President Wilson's legislative pro gram to avert the railroad strike. Wilson Continues Effort". But the president, overlooking no possible means, to prevent the threatening public calamity,, .did not depend on congress alone and con tinued unceasingly his efforts to get the brotherhood heads to postpone their strike order. Just before noon the president went to the capitol, and conferring with the leaders, urged on them the need of speed to get the bills through the legislative machinery of house and senate before Saturday night. Then, returning to the white house, he called the four brotherhood heads before him for another appeal to de lay their strike while congress, by law, provides what the railroads have refused. Although the brotherhood leaders reiterated that only a "favorable set tlement" could delay the strike and that they were powerless to postpone it, one of them admitted he believed the rank and file of the men, in view of the efforts being made In congress, would vole to delay It if thore was time for them to express their wishes. May ApiMtil to Workers. Back of it all, President Wilson was holding another card a direct appeal to the rank and file ot the railroad men to realize that congress is about to give thetn what they ask and to stay to their posts.
