.Following/liA ill? ITtsHrent's appeal:
"Sly Fellow-Countrymen: ?
"The congressional elections are at
hand. They occur in the most criti
cal period our country has ever faced
or is likely to face in our tfme. If
you have approved of my leadership
and wish me to continue to he your
unembarrassed spokesman in affairs
at home and abroad. I earnestly bee
that you will <*xpresc yourselves un-^
mistakably to that effect by returning
a Democratic majority to both the
Senate and House of Representatives
"I arfr your servant and will accept
your Judgment without cavil, but my
power to administer the srreat trust
assigned me bv the constitution would
be seriously Impaired should your
Judgment be adverse and I must frank
ly tell yon so because so many criti
cal issues depend upon your verdict.
"No scruple of taste must in grim
times like these be allowed to sticd
in the way of speaking the plartn truth.
"I have no thought of suggesting
that any political party Is paramount"
in matters of patriotism. T feel too
deeply the sacrifices which have been
made in this war by all our cltiizen*
Irrespective of party affiliations to
harbor such an idea. I mean only
that the difficulties and delicacies
of oiy present task are of a sort that
makes it imperatively necessary that
the nation should give Its undivided
support 'to the government under a
unified leadershHp and that a Repub
lican Congress would divide the lea
dership. The leaders of the minority
in the present Congress have unques
tionably been pro-war. but they haFe
been anti-administration. At almost
every turn since we entered the war
they have sought to take the choice
of policy and the conduct of the war
out of my hands and put it under the
control of instrumentalities of their
own choosing
This is no time either for divided
council or for divided leadership. Uni
ties of command are a? necessary now
In clTtl action as it is upon the field
of battled If the control of the House
andvthe Benate should be taken awaf
from the party now in power an op
posing majority could assume control
of ?tgislatf.on and oblige all action to
be taken amidst contest and obstruc
tion
Tiie r ..rn of a Republican major
ity io ei. *r House of the Congress
wott'.u m ^ior be interpreted ou the
other sit- *wi the water as a repulia
:ion of L ' leadership Spokesmen of
the Rep-. iican party are urging you
to elec*. * Republican Congress In
irti^r to bar k up and support the Pres
ident. but even if they soould impost i
upon some credulous voters on this
^n no or.*.' on the o'her side. It is well
understood there, as well as here, that
the Republican leaders desire not so
much to support the President as to <
control him. ? I
"Th.p peoples r.f Tho Allien rnnnirif.?
<*'th whom we are associated against
Germany are quite familiar with the
significance of election's. They would
find it very difficult :o believe that
t]ie voter? of the United States had
rho*en to rapport xr.c!r President by
eltciii.jr io i he <-on *-.-3 a majority
controlled by those w..o are in fact not
in sympathy with the attitude and ac
tion of the administration.
"I need not tell you. my fellow-conn
trymen. t;.at I am asking your sup
port, not for my own sake or for the
nake of a political party, but for the 1
sake of the natin Itself, in. order that j
its inward unity of purpose may be
evflfient to all the world. In ordinary j
times I would not feel at liberty to)
make such an appeal to you. In 6r- <
cfinary times divided council can be |
rendered without permanent hurt to
the country. But these are not ordi
nary times. t
if these critical days it is yo^M
wish to sustain me with undivided
minds I beg that ycu will say so in a
way. which it will not be possible to
misunderstand either here at homo-.
among our associates on the other
side of the sea. I submit my ditYicul*
ties jvr. l my hopes to you.
