American and war record" than Senator Pall and express ed the hope that he would be returned to the senate "with practical unani mity." Col.

So That the President Would be Held - to Unconditional Surrender and Not Allowed to Make Peaee By Negotiation. ARMISTICE AMOUNTS TO COMPLETE SURRENDER Portsmouth, N. H., Nov. 1. Former President Taft urged New Hampshire voters, in a speech here tonight, to elect republicans to congress so thit Presi dent Wilson would be held to an un conditional surrender by Germany and not be allowed to make a peace by negotiation. Mr. Taft objected to the president's j appeal for the election of democratic candidates for congress on the assump tion that a democratic majority in both houses would make the president the unembarassed spokesman in affairs at home and abroad. "The character of the president's ap peal," said Mr. Taft, "discloses his utter misunderstanding of our consti tutional form of government. The appeal- is a demand for power during the next two years equal to that of the Hohenzollerns in war and peace, and accounting and reconstruction. "He asks the American people to en trust him with unlimited control over the settlement of a peace that will af fect them for a century when he has given evidences of a wish to pursue a oourse against which their faces are set like flint, to wit, peace by nego tiations. His appeal for unrestrained power is unprecedented In the annals of the country and it is as unrepubli can as it is unnecessary." 'Speaking of the settlement of ques tions of industry, transportation, gov ernment ownership and operation, labor and capital after the war, Mr. Taft said these measures needed "the deliberations of an independent and courageous congress, not under the con trol of the executive and not subject to academic ideals and theories except as these are modified and made practic able by a consideration of existing con ditions and a practical knowledge of what can be achieved in human nature's daily regime." "Never in peace or war," continued Mr. Taft, "have we had a more partisan administration than during this critical period in the nation's life. GERMAN RAILIiOAD AND FACTORIES ARE BOMBED Washington.
