HIB is the psychological moment for exponents of patriotic Republicanism all over the United States to come forth and save the Republican Party from ruin by treating its present MiSleaders in the United States Senate to a few home-truthe. The time is ripe. Panic has already seized upon the ranks of he Senatorial troaty-wreckers. Each successive vote on treaty amendments has revealed increasing numbers of Republican Senators who dare not face the consequences of sending the treaty back to Peace Conference. Only farther increase of popular preseure— icvlarly Republican pressure—is needed to reduce Republican ction in the Senate to harmlessness. *} That increase of pressure ought to be prompt and compelling Patriotic Republicans should be the firet to apply it. They dhould be the most zealous in keeping it up and rendering it daily more patmme until the treaty is ratified. . Approving The Evening World’s call upon citizens of this State bedddrees letters and telegrams to Senators Calder and Wadeworth of New York urging them to withdraw from the Republican opposition land do all they can by their votes to hasten ratification, President Darwin P. Kingsley of the New York Life insurance Company has itten to Senators Calder and Wadsworth letters which thousands of Republicans in this City and Commonwealth will hail as admirably fepresentative of their views. | ~ In his letter to Senator Wadsworth Mr. Kingsley says: “The Republican Party is losing prestige. While I am a Republican, I think the party as it is now being managed ought to lose prestige. } “The public wants this treaty ratified—ratified with the covenant of the League of Nations tn ft.

Sheer bunk is pretended Americanism that—in an effort to pro- vide a political party with issues and to arm inveterate disparagers of the President—raiccs a cowardly hue and cry against permitting the United Stater to take its proper place in the most progressive experi- ment to which the costly experience of nations has ever pointed the way. i Sheer bunk of this eort is, however, what is holding back the United States at the threshold of the peace era, delaying its start é0ward the prizes of trade and prosperity, handicapping it with the _ kinds of domestic trouble and unrest that grow amid uncertainty. {| Do Senators James W. Wadsworth jr. and William M. Calder “Tepresent the State of New York or a majority of Republicans in th: State of New York by indorsing such bunk and strengthening with their votes the forces that prevent prompt ratification of the Peace ‘Treaty? |; Then let New York citizens, and particularly New York Repub fivans, follow the example of Mr. Kingsley: Keep up the barrage on Senators Calder and Wadsworth—with the Dame and address of the sender attached to every shell. _ .
