There are other matters of great moment, but most of them will be found related to these. Election Turns Upon Foreign Relations With Nation Facing Choice of Peace or War This election is critical, because it turns on our foreign relations—a subject on which we as Ameri cans are ignorant, because until recently our foreign relations had not been admittedly important. Now they are staggeringly crucial, We face recurring choices between peace and war; and war today has been so dreadful that, while a time may come when not to embark in it might be worse than to submit to Its alternative, the WATCH FOR STAR’S — MASKED GIRL IN RED; | IT’S WORTH YOUR TIME: ae It’s not going to be such a difficult on, folk 1 The Star girl, who wears | u and all next week SEATTL . hot we shall have that sort of statesmanship, or a war- Mke and bdioodthirsty statesmanship, a them all joratain tickets for the Northwest | Food Fair and Housefurnishing ex position at the Arena matter eating regulariy from now wrinkled up!

RIDAY, MAY 19, 1916 WASH choice between peace and war Is one to make the bravest shrink. We have unsettled difficulties allies. We have made Germany our enemy for perhaps a generation by forcing her to yield on the submarine matter. We stand in Japan’s way in her ambi- tion to control the Pacific basin. WE HAVE THE MONROE DOC- TRINE TO MAINTAIN AGAINST AT LEAST TWO POWERS MORE POWER- FUL AT SEA THAN WE ARE. We face a world divided in the bitter commercial wars which will succeed the war of armies and navies—in which divided and embittered world we must choose our friends and make enemies, or stand aloof, without friends, but facing certain foes—foes in pol- icy, if not in arms. If we avoid war in these warring times, {t will require stateamanship devoted to the avoidance of war if it can honorably be avoided with the be toned Voter, Will Say What Sort ip This Country Shall Have Yoar vote will bear on the question of whether or bipy or wh * of not we shall have in the with whose statesmanship we unacqualn: and whom #e shall have to take on nd wg faith that he will act as well under the teat as tal The times are critical for the nation. Every man must face that crisis when he votes. It may be that It is even a more critical election than was that of 1861 We have avoided war with Mexico, tho Northern Mexico is today full of our troops. Has the policy of watchful waiting been a bad thing? Should we have intervened in Mexico? We had to do one thing or the other. You, the VOTER, are the judge of that Merchant marine, rural credits, the new tariff, the new banking and currency law, Mexico, Japan, Germany, the allies, the Philippines, our entente with the repub- Hes to the south—-all these are important, but most of us will make up our minds how to vote in one of two ways The first way is to vote the party ticket, and “vote her straight.” That fs the idiot way, but lots of us will do ft The second way will be to ask ourselves whether we want Wilson or another at the helm during the next four years Partisanship a Crime in This Election More Than Any Other in History, He Says Do we want a man whose views are much more de. cided and extreme?

We should elect Roosevelt and follow him Do we want a man who has the judicial mind, whose views we do not know, but of whose general character and Intellectual equipment we have a high opinion? Then we should elect Hughes—and debauch the sv preme court Do we want an extreme pacifist, one who thinks we need no army and no navy?
