evrtain Llboxal newspapers ,who

one of the. most Mutes, partisan batt-
les :that any contest for We Presiden-
cy has •ktrown, harsh echoes of that
conflict might reasonably be expected
to be hoard in the ,present Congress.
Yet the Democrats have Tut conscrip-
tion into force, and not a worst of
critiofsm, let alone a demand for
coalition, lias been voiced by the Re--
9lnblioan leaders, "Wo have . a Mali -
tion of every Republican and every
Democrat, a coalition of comma pa-
triotism,," declares Ellin: Root, the
Roliublicaii Party's greatest states-
man, "We are all standing behind
the President, and we will stand be-
hind him until the war is won," says
:William Howard Taft,
The opposition at Ottawa is rath-
er fond of, quoting the 'United States,
