German Disnnrctien-It

German DisafTectiOD.-It is believed
that the conditions in the district repre-
sented in Congress by the Hon. Richard
Bartholdt more nearly typify the drift OF
German-American political thought at
present than do those in any other part Of
the country. DIR. Bartholdt represents a
section Of St Louis that is quite as Ger
manic in its hereditary tastes, traditions.
and principles as is any part OF Berlin.
He has Just been renominated by his con-
stituents for a fifth term in the House.
The district is Overwhelmingly RePub-
Iican. DR.. Bartholdt's majority has in
creased in every election, and is now about
TO- 600. But this year ne is confronted by a
serious split in his party He is a firm
supporter OF the Administration colonial
policy. All OF the influential German pa
pers in st. Louis are bitterly hostile to
that policy. Their denunciation of it is
fiercer even than the criticisms OF il by
the Democratic press. The German edi-
tors who heretofore have been proud to
support DIR. BarthOldt are now picturing
him TO his constituents as an imperialist
OF stouter build even than are the Kais-
er's most subservient and loyal retainers-
There has been nominated against him
by faction OF Republicans styling them
prominent German American named Her
mann. Mr.. Hermann passed through Wash
ington yesterday en- route to Germany to
study at close range the imperialism of
that country. which drove the ancestors
of DR.. BarthOldt'S constituents from the
Fatherland When he returns he will be
well supplied with information on the
subjects of imperialism, militarism, and
their attendant evils. Mr.. Hermann will
take the stump and exploit these subjects
in all parts OF the district in the German
language He confidently declares that he
will defeat DR.. BarthoIdt. The Democrats.
it is said, will endorse Mr. Hermann as
their candidate. This viii enable the fight
to be pitched on straight lines and a clear
field. Its result probably will be as thor
ough test of the German American DO
litical sentiment on the new issues as can
be obtained. and therefore the contest will
be watched with keen interest by the na-
tional managers of both of the great oar
ties

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP
what Lodge and II

What Lodge and Root Mean.-It is
just beginning TO dawn upon the minds of
The politicians that in their sensational as
sauIts upon the unoffending but bellicose
Emperor OF Germany. the Hon. Elihu Root
and the Hon Henry Cabot Lodge have had
in view two purposes quite far removed
from a gratuitous insult to the sensitive
German-American voters. II may be that
one of the direct results of their onslaughts
will be the alienation OF many Teutonic
voters in the Presidential election, but ii
is understood to be the hope of the Admin
istration-whence, obviously. the attacks
were inspired-to more than Offset this loss
by arousing enthusiasm in the masses over
the Monroe Doctrine. The sudden and un-
pected spasm Of patriotic fervor in both
Secretary Root and Senator Lodge over the
danger to which the Monroe Doctrine is
being stealthiIy subjected by the artful
machinatiOns of the Kaiser, il is thought,
can be accounted for by the desire In
Administration circles to divert attention
from the assault made upon that unwr.t-
ten law of the land by the Hay Fauncefo,o
Treaty. IL the Administration can make
the country believe that MeSsrs. Hanna,
Mckinley, Root. Lodge, Hay. ct al. are the
great original and yalOrous defenders of
the Monroe Doctrine, then, of course. it
would follow that Lord Pauncefote's
scheme to have Great Britain taken into
full partnership with the United States in
the isthmian cana! enterprise could be
easily worked on on the trusting people by
Sir John Hay. This method il is conceded
is sort OF stop thief" way Of
getting at the main point but
as that ancient method is oCite
as successful in politics as in business 4. is
thought not impossible to apply {, in the
present emergency. The Hay PauncefOte
convention is still about the most unpopu-
lar proposition among all sorts aud cOndi-
tions of Americans that has thus far been
advanced by the Administration. and unless
something is done 10 convince the country
that the Administration Is keeping a close
eye on the Monroe Doctrine. and is ready
at a moments notice 10 shoot whoever
should poach upon our preserves. the Re
publican vote might naturally be expected
to fall off in November. II the Admins
tratiOn should withdraw the Hay -PaunCe-
fote Treaty. that act would be an acknowl-
edgement that the principle involved was
un-American and dangerous Hence il is
expected that others besides Messrs. Root
and Lodge will shake the mailed fist at the
| 2sionished Kaiser at OppOTtCne intervals
between the present hour and the casting
OF the ballots in November
