"Since the war began the Republicans in Congress have acted in a spirit of the largest patriotism, and wholly without regard to questions of politics. For the administration measures designed for efficiently carrying on the war they have furnished a larger percentage of support than have the Uemocrats; and where the administration was wrong, the bulk of the Republicans ventured to withstand it and have stood by the country, whereas the bulk of the Democrats have not done so; although there have been some conspicuous and honorable exception s.

The Rev. B. M. Price, stated clerk of the St. Clairsville presbytery, today made it plain that the Rev.

S. S. Bergen, who recently resigned as pastor of the Kirst Presbyterian Church of Cambridge, had resigned of his own initiative and not because he was forced to do so owing to alleged pro-German remarks, as had been published.

Price stated. At the last meeting of the presbytery, at which Mr. Bergen's resignation was accepted, the session was closed with prayer by Mr. Bergen, in which he asked divine aid in obtaining a victory for the Allies. AFTER ALL Mercer County Wheat Crop Will Be Heavy This Year SHARON.

"Therefore the man elected this fall should not only be absolutely loyal but possessed of broad vision, sound common sensa, high character and unvielding resol ution: for he must, grapple with tremendous international questions.

A timid man, a half-hearted pacifist or a foolish visionary may do as incalculable harm as the demagogue or conscienceless political trickster. And of course no disloyal man and no man of merely lukewarm loyalty should be chosen, no matter what the ticket on which he runs." Looking forward to "the giant tasks of peace," Col. Roosevelt said there must be universal obligatory military training. "Such training," he de- clared "would Instill into our people 1 a fervent and intense Americanism which would forever free us from the menace of Bolshevism and all its American variety, from the frank nomicidal march of the I.

National Republican chairman and Miss Helen Varick Boswell, executive secretary of the organization of Republican Women of the State, were the speakers. I Mr.

Root and Mr. Hays both conn-' selled against disloyalty. Miss Boswell, whose address marked the first appearance of a woman in a convention of one of the big parties on a political equality with the men, declared that "politics is patriotism on the Kotit addresses were strongly patriotic. Chairman Hays, in a win the war talk, emphasized these thoughts. "I do not want any allegations from either one side or the other concerning disloyalty in this coming campaign.

Any such allegation will give a totally false impression of conditions in this country to the enemy. And the man, or committee, or party, who starts anything like that, will be guilty of the worst kind of disloyalty. I hope and expect that the party iu power will work by the same token. Let there be no contest in this country. As to anything concerning the winning of the war.

between any parties or individuals, I want the November elections to be a bombardment that will shake Berlin greater than any grand battery of 75 guns." on Ticket for N. Governor To Help Win The War treat agitation for a premature or inconclusive peace as treason to the Republic." The German spy, the "alien enemy here at home," and "the even fouler and more despicable native American who serves the alien," the Colonel said, should be interned at hard labor, or, if caught in a flagrant offence, should be shot. This Time Next Year. Alluding to "a gallant American Army" across the seas, and to shop and airplane production, the Colonel said that "we owe much of this achievement to the work of the Senate Committee on Military Affairs, and owe even more to the success of the German drive whicli began in March. "We have plajred a poor part iu the early stages of the world war," the Colonel continued.

"Let ua make the finishing of the war an American task. I Ry this time next year we ought to have overseas an Army as great as the combined armies of France and Eng- land, an Army of between and 4.000,000 fighting soldiers on the) various fighting fronts, and this, considering replacements and non-com- batants, means at least 6,000,00 men. "Congress should refuse assent to the War Department's present policy of procrastination, in deferring the necessary extension of the age limits for the draft, and in other ways. There should be no further delay. Besides enormiusly strengthening our army in France, we should by this time have declared war on Turkey and.

have sent 100,000 soldiers to aid our Allies in Western Asia. We have had to use. Fnglish ships to ferry our troops across the Atlantic and wa could use Japanese ships to ferry them across the Pacific. "There must be no peace until Germany is beaten to her knees. To leave her with a strangle-hold on Russia, and through her vassal allies, Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey, dominant in Central Europe and Asia Minor, would mean that she had won the war and taken a great stride toward world Belgium must be reinstated and reimbursed, France receive Alsace, Turkey driven from Europe, the Colonel said, Italian-Austria must go to Italy and Rumanian-Hungary to Rumania, and Armenia must be free.
