The attitude of the German
American citizens on the question
of expansion is causing the Repub-
lican party no little concern. AS a
rule the German vote has been cas-
for the Republican party, and in
many States it is sufficiently strong
to hold the balance of power be-
tween the parties. But the Ger
mans are unalterably opposed to
tho Republican policy of expansion
because they know that it loads to
militarism. To take control of
foreign territory means a large
standing army and tho Germans
have como to this country to avoid
military duty. They believe that
country will be more prosperous
if it's people remain at home and
attend to their work and their BUS
mess, than by going to war. While
war is beneficial to few individ-
uals it drains and eXhausts the sub
stance and resources OF the people
generally. Charleston Gazette.
