Gifford Pinchot drafts notes on President Wilson’s appeal for the return of a Democratic Congress in the 1918 midterm elections. Pinchot believes that Wilson’s interference is threatening the core principles of democratic government. He also notes that the Republicans have been leading, not following the administration’s war efforts, and that by returning a Republican Congress the American people would be showing their determination to fight through to “complete victory.”
