The Republican party be- came reunited in 1916. ‘Theodore Roosevelt supported Charles E. Hughes, the Republican nominee. The election of Hughes was prevented only by a de- liberate deception practiced on the American people by the Democratic party and its candidate in 1916, when they sent out the slogan, ‘He kept us out of war,” knowing, as has since been conclusively shown, that the ad- ministration expected and intended to go to war. We do not criticise going to war: we do criticise severely the fal- sfty of the opposition in that campaicn. The American people will) remember that deception in this campaign when the same leader and the Democratic nominee—now thoroughly in submissive accord with the Dictator of the White House—and the ‘same Democratic lead- ers are again seeking to deceive the people on a yet more gigantic scale when they say that by the League of Nations “we will keep the world out of war.” “Former voters of the Progressive party supported Hughes in 1916, as did practically all of their leaders.
