The New York World favors soldiers voting for civil officers and suggests soldiers of the Army of the Potomac decide their commanding general. The piece argues soldiers have more stake in military elections and criticizes President and advisers for McClellan’s leadership. It defends Burnside's authority and frames resistance as a duty against unlawful aggression.
