WILSON AND
Said to Be Determined to Prevent
His Reelection to the Presidency.

Under date Of July Z the following LETT
ter was printed in the Chicago Tribune
Editor of the Tribune: We note your
editorial in regard to the Teutonic Sons
o. america; We ordinarily pay no atten-
ton to outbursts of this nature, consider
ing them commonly as newspaper talk in
duced by the boiling of Scotch or English
blood, as the case may be, or else the raw
formed individuals. In this instance we
feel that 1t is only just to make an ex-
eept1on on account of your spasmodic eff
forts to once in a while raise your voice
in a true American spirit In behalf Of
fair play in our relations to the warning
nations. We are, however, compelled to
inform you that the opinions as ex-
pressed in the editorial are hasty and I'M
just conclusions, which we believe is due
10 the fact that you are Incorrectly in
FORMED both as to the character and the
that the T. S. Of A. represent correctly
the. general sentiment of the great leu
tonic electorate of the United States Of
America past and present, the sons of
thousands and hundreds of thousands who
fought, bled and died in order to create
ana perpetuate the United States of Amer
lea and Its independence. and we, the
sons of the Teutonic Americans of old, are
or the same character. We are as strong
ly opposed to foreign alliances and en-
Engagements and to English domination Of
tunes gone by, and we are as determined
to retire Woodrow Wilson next year as
our forefatheTs We're who retired James
Buchanan when a condition Din 1860 SINH
lar to that of today existed, which resulted
in the election of Abraham Lincoln. who
was a genuine American, who knew and
appreciated the character of the natural
lied citizen, and who, with the unani-
nous support of them, s~traightway pro-
ceeded to forcefully instruct the greater
part Of American natives (the confeder-
1t meant to be a real loyal American.
The great purpose of our order is to aid
and assist each other to spread the gospel
justice, and to uphold the dignity and we'll
being Of the United States of America.
which we believe can best be done at this
time by making elaborate preparations to
make sure of the retirement next year
Of our union business manager, woodrow
Wilson,, together with his internal and
external policies. for the simple reason
70 run our business-the business Of the
United States g~overnment-in a wise, Just
and successful way. We as stockholders
of this union enterprise object to this kind
of management, and we will not tolerate
such q manager any longer than what
the contract of four years provides for.
We know that the Teutonic element Of
America can be relied upon to defend our
country against any attack from any for
eign country, whether we are right or
wrong; but We also know that they can
never be counted upo to support the
dangerous. unjust. aggressive, English
friendly and German hostile Wilson pol
Icy which we believe could serve no other
purpose but that of trying to prevent the
defeat of our traditional defamer-John
Bull.
We fervently pray that the innumerable
souls of those who met untimely death on
our American soil on account Of English
peridy will rise and inspire all through
America to check this mad and unholy
rush manifested by our government which
we are warned by the shades Of wash
ington, Jefferson and Lincoln and every
patriotic American that ever lived, and
may the Lord give you more light also.

Director on Supreme Council Teutonig
