j; ; REPUBLICAN MANIFESTO • I. ATTACK bN PRESIDENT [;• ■■■ ' wilson , (Eec. November 1,-9:20 p.m.) T. New York, October 31. j -Mr'. Roosevelt and .Mr. Taft have , isiied a joint appeal'for the election of i Kepublican in Congress. They tate that they would have welcomed tho iiniination of all politics by ■ the President, but instead tho partisan lines had teen most strictly drawn. During tho jbrio'd of the next ■ Congress the war iiust-bo fought to an unconditional; surrender, and the terms of peace inust bo fettled. The' Democratic. Administration lust give an accouilfof its stewardship. Jhanges from war conditions to thoso of leace must-;be, effected -with the least iiafurbance." The, -Eepubliqans were beter' e'uited to tmTtask than were' tho democrats.' "Tho peace terms were not 0 bo settled by ono man only, but by he two-thirds vote of the Senate. Ameicans are' fighting against one-man eon-rol-why allow it at home? President Vilson . has indicated his readiness to oake peaco by negotiation, but he did lot' demand what tho Americans wanted, lamely, -unconditional surrender. His isclianges of notes with Germany has aused deep concern lest we should confcde Germany a peace- around the conn: il table' instead, of,a sentence from the !ourf.','.i,Eleven,,bt,'thD President's; , foureon points are so vague and general, hat a peace based on thenv would be no (eace -at all. The present democratic lajorityis subservient in evory way to lie .Presidential will. President .'Wilson toes not hesitate publicly .to discipline nose disagreeing ■ with him.. The new Congress is merely a replica, of the old lie in this respect. It is not safe to rust such unlimited-power, to Bresjdenial hands."—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
