Secretary Secre-tary of the Navy Daniels, in an address here tonight urging the return of a Democratic Demo-cratic congress in the elections next Tuesday, Tues-day, said Republican politicians in their desire to get control of the senate and house have forgotten their duty as Americans.

"During the months the president and leaders of his party have been busy with Ihe policies to win the war," continued the secretary, "Republican politicians and reactionary would-be profiteers have been thinking of nothing but capturing) congress. Such would-be profiteers have called upon their fellow reactionaries to 'put. up Nmore money to carry congress thjfe year than we spent in 1910.' Why? They try to camouflage the people by saying say-ing they do not like the brand of notes coming from Wilson's typewriter. No more does the kaiser or the junkers. But Great Britain, France, -Italy and all democratic nations in Europe indorse them and make them their own. "Lei the people know the secret of the big money the reactionaries are putting up to elect a Republican congress. These men from Plunderbund are not thinking about patriotism, but pay-triotism.

"That is the only issue. ooarow Wilson Wil-son is the chosen lender of America. His fourteen demands In his address of Janu-,ary Janu-,ary S have been indorsed by every disinterested disin-terested statesman in the world. 1 1 is Ihe greatest utterance of the war. The war will not end until those fourteen principles arc secured." ATTACKS ON WILSON CARPING CRITICISM, UNTERMYER SAYS NEW YORK. Oct. 29. Addressing a rally tonight in Tammany Ha'l.
