WILSON PLEADS FOR PARTY VICTORY President Says Election of G. 0. P. Congress Would Be Interpreted on the Other Side of the Water as a Rpudiation of His Leadership.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 28. An appeal to the voters of the country to sustain his administration by the election of a Democratic Congress on Nov. 6 was msdi) yesterday by President Wilson. The full text follows: "My Fellow Countrymen: The congressional elections are at hand. They occur in the most critical period our country has ever faced or is likely to face in our time. If you have approved of my leadership and wish rnn to continue to be your unembarrassed spokesman In affairs at home and abroad, I earnestly begr that you will express yourselves unmistakably to that effect by returning a Democratic majority to both the Senate and the House of .Representatives. "I am your servant and will acept your judgment without cavil, but ray rower to administer the great trust assigned mo by the constitution would be seriously Impaired should your judgment I adverse, and I nuist frankly tell you so. because so many critical isfues depend upon your verdit. No scruple of taste must in grim times liko these be allowed to stand in the way of apeakinfr the pluin truth. Would Eliminate Division. "I have no thought of suRKstins that any political party Is paramount in matters of patriotism. I feel too deeply the sacrifices which have been made in this war by all our citizens irrespective of party affiliations to harbor such an idea. I mean only that the difficulties and delicacies of our present task are a sort that makes it imperatively necessary that the nation should give its undivided support to the Kovernment under a unified leadership and that a Republican Congress would divide the leadership. "The. leaders of the minority in the present Congress have unquestionablybeen pro-war. but they have been antiadministration. At almost every turn since we entered the -war they have sought to take the choice of policy and the conduct of the war out of my hands and put It under the control of instrumentalities of their own choosing. "This is no time either for divided council or for divided leadership. Unity of command is as necessary now in WW DRIVE LEADERS : IT CHrCAOQ MEETING Lake Co. Chairmen Flock to Chicago to Hear Discussion of Plans. Lake County's leaders in th United tVar Work campaign headed by County Chairman H. S.

If the control of the House and the Senate should be taken awny from the party now in power an opposing majority could assume control of legislation oblige; all action to be taken amidst contest and obstruction. Fears Adverse Erf act Overseas. "The return of a Republican majority to either House of Congress would, moreover, be ir.terprotative on the other side of the water as a repudiation of my leadership. Spokesmen of the Republication party nre urging you to elect a Republican Congress in order to back up and support ihe President, but even if they should in this impose upon some credulous voters on this side of the water they would Impose on no one on the other side. It is well understood there, as well as here, that the Republican leaders desire not so much to support the President as to control him. "The peoples of the allied countries with whom we are associated against Germany are Quite familiar with the significance of elections. They would find It very difficult to believe that the voters of the United States had chosen to support their President by electing to the Congflress a majority controlled by those who are tint in fact in sympathy with the attitude and action of the administration. Not for His Own Sake. "I need not tell you. my fellow countrymen, that I am asking your support not for my own sake or for the sake of a political party, but for the sake of the nation itself. In order that its inward unity of purpose may be evident to all the world. In ordinary times I would not feel at liberty to make such an appeal to you. In ordinary times divided counsels can be endured without permanent hurt to the country. but these are not ordinary times. "If in these critical days it is your wish to sustain me with undivided minds I beg that you will say so in a way which it will not be , possible to misunderstand either here at home or ( among our associates on the other side of the sea.

"I submit my difficulties and my hopes to you "WOOPROW WILSON." being discussed at a meeting: of the United War Work campaign which opened in Chicago yesterday.
