REPUBLICANS RESENT STATEMENT NEW YORK. Oct; 27. Will H.Hays, chairman of, the republican national committee, made public here tonight a statement in which, he replied, in behalf of his party, to President Wilson's appeal to. the nation to return a democratic congress. In liis statement Mr.

Hays said "President Wilson has questioned the motives and, fidelity of your representatives in congress. He has thereby impugned, their loyalty and denied their His challenge is to you who elected these representatives. -You owe it to them, to' the honor of your great party, and to your own self respect, to meet that challenge squarely, not, c-nly as republicans, but as Americans. as your chairman, call upon yoji to do it. Calls Veracity Into Question.

"Mr. Wilson accords the republicans no credit whatever for having supported the 'war measures' proposed by his administration, although they have done so with greater unanimity than the members of his own party. Despite that fact he accuses them having tried to usurp his proper functions. "At no time and in no way have the tried to take control of the war out of his hands. The president knows that.

The country knows it. You 'know it. A more ungracious, more unjust, more wanton, more mendacious accusation was never mad' by the most reckless stump orator, much less by a presidmit of the United States, for partisan purposes. It is an iniHnot only to every loyal republican in congress, but to every loyal republican in the land. It fully merits the resentment which rightfully.and surely will find expression at the Wants Antirwar Democrats.

Mr. Wilson grudgingly admits that the republicans have been 'pro-war'. Then why does he demand their defeats Because they are still pro-war? Hardly that. No. It is because they are for peace, though not without victory; because they consider that 'U.

stands for unconditional surrender as well as for the United States and Uncle Sam. The democratic congress does not. Wilson does not. There is the issue clear as the noonday sun. The country will decide.

"Mr. Wilson wants only rubber stamps, his rubber stamps in congress. He says so. No one knows it better than democratic congressmen. He calls for the defeat of pro-war republicans and the election of anti-war democrats.

He, as the executive, is no longer satisfied to be one branch of the as provided by the Republican congressmen must foe defeated and democratic congressmen must, 'as they would, yield in everything. That is evidently his idea (the idea of an autocrat calling Tiimself the bidding for the mastery of this free people. Republicans Good When Needed. "Republicans in congress have seemed to him good enough when they assented, as they did assent, with highest patriotism, and sometimes against their best to his proposals. Republicans at home have seemed to him good enough to send fully a million of their sons into battle, to furnish at least.

half of the army, and far more than half of the money, for winning of the war, but they are not considered good enough to have a voice in the settlement of the war. "But Mr. Wilson's real purpose has nothing to do with the conduct of the war. He has had that from the beginning, has it now, and nobody dreams of interfering with his control. He wants just two things.

One is full power to settle the war precisely as he and his sole, unelected, un-appointed, unconfirmed personal adviser may determine. The other is full power as the 'unembarrassed spokesman in affairs at as he actually demands in his statement, to reconstruction peace times, the great' industrial affairs of the nation in the same way, in unimpeded conformity with whatever socialistic doctrines, whatever unlimited government ownership notions, -whatever hazy whims may happen to posseshim at the time; but first and above all, with absolute commitment to free trade with, all the world, thus giving to Germany, out of. hand, the fruits of a victory greater than she could win by fighting a hundred years. A republican congress will never assent to that. Do you want a congress that will? Germany does.

Wants Republicans to Surrender. "Mr. Wilson forced the republican party to lie down or fight. I say fight! Answer with your votes "Mr. Wilson is for unconditional surrender yes, for the unconditional surrender to himself of the, republican, party of the country, of the allies, all to him, as the sole arbitrator and master of the destinies of the world.

Do you stand for that? Answer with your votes!" H. E. MATTHEWS cw PEACE QUESTIONS COME RIGHT HOME: TO EVERY ONE tr Reconstruction Not 'Academic Problem, But One Vital to Each and Every American. IT IS NOT A PARTISAN ISSUE Republican Citizens Have the Right to Demand That They Be Consulted. H.

He is a graduate of Ellsworth College and took a post graduate course in addition at Iowa and Chicago Universities. Professor Matthews is married and has four children.

W. BROWN. One deeply regretted event of the past week was the death of Mrs. Austin W. Brown, whose illness of one short week was due to the prevailing epidemic, which resulted later in pneumonia.

Untiringly both doctors and nurses worked to. save her life but on Saturday, Qct. 26, 1918, at? 8 o'clock, P. Mrs. Brown passed beyond.

On August 30, 1908, she united in marriage with Mr. Austin W. Brown and to this un ion was born one child, Karl Edward, who later died at the early age ot four vears.

Mrs. lirown early laentuiea ner-self with the church and its first becoming a member of the First Baptist church of Londonville, Ohio, later of the First Congregational church of Tombstone, Arizona, and of recent years a member of Vincent M. E. church of Los Angeles. Her church affiliations in Flagstaff for the past two years have been marked with the deepest sincerity and faithfulness and it is in these circles where she will be most sadly missed by the hosts of friends she had made since she and her husband chose Flagstaff for their home.

Many think their situation might be more serious than it was -on the declaration of war. An idea of what, these industries would have to contend with has been furnished by a writer in the New York Sun, who was asked the following questions "Ihe new town of Hopewell, Virginia, contains an immense population, all occupied entirely in the manufacture of explosives. Beace will undoubtedly cancel this and what are the inhabitants going to do? Where are they going, and how are they gojng to getlfresh jobs? What are the merchantsof this town going to do? "What is going to happen to the hundred thousand war workers who have been added-to the city of Bridgeport? "What will happen to the huge plants now working on tanks, aeroplanes, shells, rifles and guns "What is to be the fate of the of thousands who are making army cloth and army shoes? "How long will it take to re-fit the innumerable hospital ships for freight and passenger traffic? "How long will it take for new credit books to be prepared throughout the world so that bankers will know what foreign merchant's credit is good? "Do wc know what American goods are required by France and Belgium and by Roumania and Russia? "How long will it take the Reconstruction Committee Jo find out how much and what sort goods we require and to arrange a system of credit for these buyers which" should be bankable? What of the "Little Fellow?" "How the shipping facilities to be distributed after theiwar? space to be given to'the'highest bidder, and will the small shipper find the cargo space all taken up by his big competitor? "Is the Government going to retain the control and management of railroads after the war? Shall we con tinue to pay the present enormous increases in freight, passenger and express rates? "Will tne manuiacmrer continue pay excess profits taxes, or will he be' allowed to use thjs capital to support and carry' on his business "What sort of new tariffs are foreign countries going to place upon American goods, and will this tariff make it impossible for American producers to sell in world markets? "What sort of new tariffs must America have to protect her increased industry? "What sort of new organization laws will be required?
