HYPHENATED INFLUENCE.

HYPHENATED INFLUENCE
 Clearer evidence of the mpudence of hyphenated citi could be had than that contained in yesterday leased wire reports The Review telling of the de Alterations of German-Americans in Chicago Assemble there convention twenty-five states and Alaska they shamelessly placed their of themselves ant their constituents sale the open market, the cessful bidder candidate for the Presidency the United States betray the for eign policy of Nation interests of Germany.
 The resolutions adopted by the delegates this abo convention ingenious in presenting th proposal Surcharged with such arrogance has characterized all GermanAmerican plots and propa ganda the disgust almost the entire world since the very beginning of the European conflict the resolutions begin with demand, with the threat We assert that any candidate the Presidency who with the views herenbefore expressed is unworthy the support of free and independent electorate"
 Fealty the United States is ignored by these German zeaots who audacously use an ax to their cognomen Note their resolution No ?, follows
 We urge foreign policy which protects American lives and American with equal frmness and justice"
 Alone of all the European belligerents Germany murdered American citizens and seriously imperled
 
 American interests The necessity of enforcing foreign policy which will protect American lives has arisen on, because of frghtfunesss Every nation except Germany has respected foreign policy fundamental international which says in substance that the lives of neutrals be conserved.
 This German-American convention purporting to rep free and independent electorate pledges the supjport of its constituency policy which would con,m this country to German vassalage. These Ger manAmerican would emphasize the right of Ger many to kill and children without hindrance a. done the Lustania. These German-Americar votes would be preferred offset the ballots cast President who believed in the right of this country protect her citizens, her institutions. and the of manity against assault by any nation.
 Conclusive evidence of the hyphenate peril not been furnished until the present time Germans sympahizers in this country have been convicted is true of plotting the interests of Geramny The oenses became fragrant that the Kaiser found it necessary to utter solemn warning the practice must He repudiated the individual perpetrators best he could and denied inspired by the German Government.
