I'll after he had Carried out his own
viii? We all remember that stormy
! interview last April when Senator
Stone, as chairman Of the Committee
on Foreign Affairs, challenged his
| sending an ultimatum to Germany.
Whom has the President ever con-
suited in all the AFFAIRS OF great mo
ment when an unripe decision might
mean war to our land? Did he ask
the advice OF experienced Senators or
other men OF prominence in the af-
fairs Of government? 10, singly he
assumed power unto himself and
undertook to decide for the Nation.
No potentate or minister throughout
| monarchial Europe would have dared
as much. II we enjoy the blessings
| OF peace today IL is not because OF
Wilson, but despite Wilson. And it
| is such a man we are asked to re-
elect
II any man can be said to have had
any influence with Wilson in warping
| the destinies of our land ii has been
Morgan, EnEland's Vice-Roy and
| Financial Governor OF the United
States. Hence the vacillating atti-
! tude OF the President on the sub
l
armed merchant vessels, etc Hence
also the petty restrictions that our
merchants are put to by the enforce
ment OF British rules of surveillance
and regulation in this country. Rub
Der, steel, burlap, and hundred or
more of other commodities may not
be freely dealt with except by the
| gracious permission Of His Majesty's

onies rose in rebellion against the
imposition Of stamp tax, we pay
stamp tax and submit to restrictions
much more shameful. And for all
this we are to gratefully re-elect Will
son and so glory In our shame.
Are The Voters As Ignorant As The
Professor says?
DR. Froelicher saysL-"A consider
able body of voters do not propose to
settle the questions Of the day by
asking, what has Woodrow Wilson
done FOR this country? but on his.
attitude towards Mexico, Germany
and England" But after all is not
this attitude OF the Presidents to-
wards Mexico, Germany and England
Of vital Importance to this country
and the failure to properly handle it
Of far reaching influence for i'll in the
future? The Professor, adds. and
there is no one that will dispute It,
that "An internal question concern-
ing us alone must be determined by
us as Americans, not as partisans OF
this or that foreign country"
Well, Who Started It?
The Doctor says, whoever iniects
into our affairs the element OF racial
feeling is sowing the wind to reap
the whirlwind" And he adds, This
has been done by. the Republican
party and by the Americans of Ger
man descent" woodrow Wilson is
the author Of this devilish mischief
Taking up the hue and cry against
the Germans raised by the pro-Brit-
ish press. he. last November In his
Manhattan Club speech, without
cause or reason, fouliy aspersed the
Germans OF this land; not only once,
but often, finally pouring out his
venom in the hyphen plank that dts
graces the Democratic platform.
This the Democrats .supinely per-
mitted him to do. AS In the logic OF
the matter every candidate Is pledged
to support the President and the
party platform, so every aspirant for

less libel upon class OF the cleo
torate whose suffrage he seeks. What
ought the answer to be2
DO the Germans Vote Solidly
Republican,
The Doctor, like many others, as
sumes as a general proposition, with
out much investigation, that the So
called German vote Is solidly Re-
publican. That II Is pretty indepen-
dent is certain, as results in Balti-
more City and elsewhere has often
enough shown, but the assertion OF
the Doctor Is not borne out by the
facts. A survey of the registration
lists OF the City of Baltimore will
show that SO per cent. Of the natur-
allied German vote is registered as
Democratic II Mr.. Wilson fails to
get this vote he will have no one to
blame but himself
Why Give Credit To The Democrats |
Alone2
In the matter OF such legislation !
as the Reserve Bank, (wnich has |
proven OF great value TO the Morgan |
group in hoating foreign loans), the !
Child Labor Bill, Rural Credits, etc, !
the Republicans have been as active !
as the Democrats The latter being I
IN power get the credit, that Is all.
For one not a partisan to speak of
this legislation as specifically demo-
cratic IS TO cheaper the value of his
other assertions and cast doubt upon
their fairness Progressive legisla-
tion does not spring at once, full
aedgcd from the head of o political
Minerva; 1t Is the result of education
and evolution and in response to a
popular demand. So when we are
told that vie owe our
salvation to this or that political /
Moses We can be excused for snicker-
ing.
The Roosevelt Goblin.
Following the lead of the Wilson
Workers Manual, the Professor plays !
up the Roosevelt bogieman. Well do I
