Jasper County Democrat, Volume 21, Number 2, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 April 1918 — Hays Talks Too Much. [ARTICLE]

Hays Talks Too Much.

Will H. Hays, Republican national chairman and Republican State chairman, is still in the east, where he is talking as much and as rapidly as he did on his first trip after his election to the national chairmanship. The fact is that a good many Republicans are beginning to feel that Hays is in great danger of talking too much and doing harm to the party. He has made all sorts of promises for the Republicans and outlined policies that Republicans of certain factions never will agree to. He has informed the Republicans of the east and, through them the country, just how they may settle the war, just what peace terms will be acceptable and just how the country must be run after the war. He has also explained how practically everything should be done, leaving but little for the rest of the party to decide. It is this fact that has caused a fear that before he is much older he may talk too much.
