Show ,A THE PRESS-BULLETI- .' Ill --Timed Controversev The following is an editorial which appeared in Sunday's Tribune, a Republican paper, and speaks for itself in this cam-paign: Under ordinary circumstances the president's appeal for the election of a supporting congress this fall might well be- - ques-tioned as to its propriety and its breadth of patriotism. While - such pleas were made at the close of the Spanish-America- n war by friends of President McKinley, we do not recall that person-ally he made any statement to the people as to his need of un-divided support in the national congress. However, the somewhat 5 sensational attacks of Colonel Rooseyelt,: who is regarded by many, both here and abroad, as a spokesman of the party to which he returned after an ade of escap- political elopement, may be urged by the president's followers as ample justification of his appeal to voters. Colonel Roosevelt has not only found fault with all that has been done in the present war, but declared two days ago that any senate harkening to him would repudiate every one of the peace conditions laid down by the president last January and now undpr consideration. If the Republican party should ac-cept the colonel's jolicy of opposition and repudiation in the midst of peace negotiations, which we doubt, it may be conceded that the president was justified in placing the issue squarely before the American people. ; .' Inasmuch as the fourteen conditions of peace have been be-o-re the world for ten months and have met with the approval of all other countries concerned in this conflict, it is strangely reckless and inopportune to advocate their rejection now. It is to be feared that the belligerent colonel will create a bad im-pression among the allies, not only concerning the unselfishness of his opposition, but as to the stabijity and unity of the people themselves, v- '' ...- -.. t:v - There are those who may be so uncharitable as to intimate that General Foch is to be congratulated that he was spared the anxiety of dealing with an American "general" who might dispute his orders, question his plans and foster a spirit of among his followers. . ,. Taken alone, there was much in the president's appeal to question ; but, taken .with the colonel's address of the day before, there seems to be some justification for asking for the election of congressmen who will not be swayed by an intolerant spirit of uncompromising opposition. But The Tribune is sure that this policy of obstruction means nothing to the great ma-jority of Republicans. ; It is extremely unfortunate that a controversy of this kind should be started while battles are raging on every front, when victory is in the air and the whole world is listening to hear if the presidents ultimatum to the kaiser finds an echo in the hearts of the American people. ... THE WAR ON WILSON Republicans who love and honor the American flag even more than they love and honor their party, which gave Abraham Lincoln to the world, will be interested in the following sugges- -' tions as to our future course in this campaign. The Standpat Re-- ; publican machine which repudiated former Governor Spry at the state convention two years ago is now. back in the saddle and are trying to whip the old and the new guard into line for a hd phalanx at the polls next week. These leaders disregard the cry of the people for President Wilson and for Congressmen who will support him through these perilous hours which are before us and which will follow when an armistice has been de- clared. During the days of the reconstruction period the presi- dent will need men about him who are in sympathy with his methods and plan of reorganization. Therefore it is very import- ant that we name men to congress who will not chide the presi- dent, but rather support him. The Republican propagandists have sent the word out that he end of the war is not very far away and this has relieved tJiZ "Ibny.o11t1h3e1r41wordlsestsheefwfeocrtniveantdhewecaryry opf il"osttainsdbrbinygtihneg he ship of state safely into port. He" isn't needed any longer ! In the hour of victory let us strike him down! And why strike him own ( Because Woodrow Wilson stands for everything that stand-pa- t republicanism detests! He stands against economic discrim-ination, that prolific cause of war; he stands against entangling alliances, against secret treaties, for a league of nations He stands for a reconstruction of the world on the basis of progress- ive democracy. He stands for tfte peace of justice, at home and . abroad; the peace that will shackle greed and privilege; that will make democracy safe for the world at the same time it is making the world safe for democracy. The only way that standpat. republicanism can palsy Wil-son s arm and frustrate his far-sight-ed purposes, at this time, is to capture the control of congress. It must take the law-maki-ng body, the treaty-ratifyin- g body, out of the control of his friends and put it in control of his political enemies. Tl?ererore defeat former Governor Spry and elect a progress-ive, the Honorable James II. Mays, who has stood by the Presi- dent and will continue to hold up his hands. Such is the issue as it presents itself squarely in Utah, in this closing fortnight of the 1918 campaign. It is an issue that transcends partisanship and smashes party lines. It is an issue that line3 up Woodrow Wilson's friends and ' supporters, democrats and republicans alike, on the one hand " And it lines up his enemies his honest and open enemies and I l is sinister, covert, disgruntled and sleazy enemies on the other 1 It is Spry against Wilson on war issues. ' 1 It is. reaction and privilege against Wilson on the' issues of I peace-makin- g and reconstruction. 1 The loyal democracy of Utah, with thousands y of progressive I and forward-lookin- g republicans and independents to support it 1 can proudly and confidently take up the challenge. It will recognize no party distinctions in its appeal for sup-- I port for a president who has victoriously conducted the greatest 1 war of history, who has made of American ideals an irresistable 1 .orce for righteousness, who has earned his place as the recog-- I mzed and revered spokesman of human aspirations for libertv and justice. Woodrow Wilson stands at the summit of his greatness and usefulness, one of the most majestic figures of all time. His friends in Utah, of all parties and of no parties, may be counted B1ee,tojt this state does not vote to strike him down m at the behest of Spry and the republican office seekers. m (Political Ad vertlsemont) 1 ' ' PRESERVE THE LEATHER LIQUIDS AND PASTfS fOR BLACK, WHITE, TAN, DARK BROWN OR OXBIOOD SHOES.
