influence upon the government of the United States They must be driven from office and power not because tl they y yare are Democrats but because Mr Wilson Wison stands for for a theory theor of administration and government which is not American His methods his constant if I indirect assaults upon the constitution and upon all al the traditions of ot free tree government strike at the very life of the American principles upon which our government go has always rested The return of ot the Democrats to power with Mr Ur Wilson Wison or one of ot his disciples still sti the leader and master of a great geat party pary which before his advent possessed both traditions and principles would be belong bea a along along long step in the direction of ot the autocracy autocracy racy rac

peril peri inseparable from Mr MI Ir Wilson Wison and hi his system goes f tar far r beyond all party pary divisions for it involves the fundamental question Queston of ot whether the government of ot the United States shall be a government of ot laws and nd not of men whether it shall be a a free tree representative government go or that of a a dictatorship resting on a plebiscite carried by repellent methods Mr Wilson and the tha autocracy he represents represents represents rep rep- resents and all al which those those who believe beleve in 11 his doctrines and share shaie his spirit represent represent represent rep rep- resent must be put aside ana ace conclusively conclusive conclusive- ly excluded from any future control control Bear this well wel in mind throughout the

have thus tItus endeavored endeavored endeavored en en- to turn us from the right road into the dark and devious ways which with all al nations lead to destruction We Ve therefore make male our appeal for support to all al who love America to all al whatever whatever what what- ever party name they happen to bear who are true tue o 0 the faith of the te fathers to Join with wih us in this great
