W. H. HAYS AT LINCOLN.

Lincoln, Neb., July 31.—Will H. Hays, Republican national chairman in an address yesterday to the state Republican convention in session here, characterized the Republican party as the "war party of the nation," and.insisted on the "right of full participation in this greatest of all crises." He said that the Democratic party was “playing politics,” and closed with the assertion that a Republican victory in 1919 would mean a never increasing prosecution of the war. He left last night for Denver. The convention adopted resolutions pledging allegiance to the nation; favoring a "nonpartisan * conduct of the war,” and indorsing both the equal suffrage and prohibition amendments to the federal Constitution.
