There is much constructive work to be

SCHIEREN NAILS HUGHES CANARD.
Says Story of Governors Favoring Stringent
Iinunr Law Is Untrue

Fx-Nayor Charles a. Schieren, president OF u4e
Hughes Alliance. said last night in reply to an
attack on Governor Hughes by the ieglsau'e
committee Of the Cerman-American State AlIlahce
that his knowledge of the COMMANDMENT peo-
pie, Of whom Mr.. Schieren is one, teaches him
thar ..thev cannot be deceived by such insidious
Misrepresentation.
The facts are within my knowledge said MI
Schieren. and I 10 say TO Gernan-Ar1ericans
and all other citizens that if I am entitled 10
credence II Is not true that Governor Hughes Is
an enemy OF any personal liberty, or that he has
ever approved Of legislation attacking any per
sonal liberty or that he has given the slightest
reason 10 fear that he viii approve such leglsla-
ton. I am also in a position 10 state that the
personal liberty league movement was launched
by lawless interests, with which Ger1nan-ATneTl-
cans. as a body have sympathy.
one OF the Governors public acts cited by
the committee as the reason for its opposition TO
Governor Hughes, is his approval Of what it de-
scrbes as "a more rigorous excise law, full OF re-
striction and injustice There is not a single
provision making the law more rigorous, as ap-
piled 10 law-abiding dealers OF that in any way
restricts personal liberty Before its passage II

Democrats only those who Democrats all

official guiding hand or brain to show the diff
