Al a largely attended meeting Of the
Columbia Turnverein last night, the ques-
ton of the German-AmeTican element
taking a more active interest in national
politics was warmly discussed
The statement was made that the time
had come when the American citizen Of
German birth or descent must stand UP
and fight for his rights instead OF begging
Of others to permit them 10 enjoy life ac-
cording to others views and ideas
II was said that the German voter al
ways assisted citizens OF other nauonali-
ties 70 political Offices on the promise that
they would look out for the interests Of
the Germans. This method. II was claim

Secretary Mann's Sentiments.

Mann. secretary Of the Verein. AS such
citizens in good standing. we demand

and history has shown beyond any DOUBT
that in the wars OF the United States the
German element shed its blood In the de-
fense OF their adopted country.

but not IN a manner which borders on
fanatcism, injustice and intolerance

The Germans themselves are to blame
10 a great extent for this state OF affairs.
Instead Of sending their own people TO
the State legislatures and Congress. they
relied on others. not Of their nationality
