that we can serve it only by support ing MT. Hughes.
 As to the Hyphenates
 It is urged against Mr. Hughes that he was supported by the various so- called German-American alliances I believe that the attitude of these pro- | fessional German Americans was due, 1 not in the least to any liking for Mir. | Hughes, but solely to their antagonsm to me They were bound to defeat me | for the nomination. The only way by which they could achieve their object was by supporting MT Hughes and | they supported him accordingly, with | out any regard to other consideration. need hardly repeat what l have all ready said in stern reproduction of this professional German American ele- 1 ment-the element typified By Ger man. American alliances and the sim liar bodies which have, in the prenom- | ination campaign. played not merely | an un-American but thoroughly anti-American part. These men have nothing in common with the great body of Americans who are in whole or in part of German blood; and who are precisely as good Americans as those of any other ancestry. There are not, and never have been, in all our land better citizens than the great | mass of the men and women of Ger man birth or descent who have been or are being completely merged in our common American nationality, na- tionality distinct from any in Europe for Americans who are good Ameri- cans are no more German Americans than they are English Americans or Irish Americans, or Scandinavian ! Americans. They are Americans and nothing else. No good American, whatever his ancestry or creed, can have any feeling except scorn and detestation for these professional | German Americans who seek to make the American president in 1 effect a viceroX of the German empire. The professional German American of | this type are acting purely in the sin ster interest of Germany.> They have shown their eager readiness to sacri- l flee the interest of the United States whenever it's interest conflicted with 
 adherence to the politico racial hyphcn which is the badge and sign of moral treason to the republic. l have singled these men out for specific denuncia : tion and assuredly if l support can didate it may be accepted as proof that I am certain that the candidate is incapable of being influenced by the evil intrigues of these hyphenated Americans.
 Hughes Record a Guaranty
 Mir. Hughes character and his whole course of conduct in public affairs justify us in the assured conviction that the fact that these men have for their own purposes supported him. will in no shape or way, affect his public actions before or after election. His entire public life is d guarantee .oi this.
 The events oI the last three and a half years have shown that as much annot be said for MT. Wilson In MT Wilson's case, we do not have to con- slider his words but his deeds. His | deeds absolutely contradict his words; md for the matter -of that his words absolutly contradict one another. Il is folly to pay heed to any of the promises in the platform on which ht low stands in view of the fact that al most every important promise con- ained in the platform on which h' stood four years ago has since beer broken. We owe all of our presen trouble with the professional German American element in the United Statei | 4;y,t course during the last two years. Tn, defenders of MT Wilson have alleged n excuse for him that he confrontet l difficult situation.
