A MEDICATION OF KAIsER1sM.

Out of 28 daily and 238 weekly Ger man Democratic newspapers that are pub lished in this country, not one supports MT. Wilson's candidacy" Thus boasts the Lin coin Freie Presse, which explains to its read CTS that 1t "does not fight the Democratic Party as such, but the present Adninistra- ton, whose head IS Woodrow Wilson"
 All these German papers which are unanimously opposing President Wilson are supporting MT. Hughes, and MT. Hughes is gladly accepting their support. He has deliberately chosen to be the German can didate for President in the belief that the solid German vote combined with the solid Repub- lican vote can elect him.
 The Hughes affliation with the Ger man vote began long before the nomination. The Hughes campaign managers worked with the German leaders, and the German leaders exerted all their influence at Chicago Before the convention met the German news papers had unanimously declared that Mr. Hughes embodied the hyphenated theory of true neutrality" and they have ardently sup ported him on that issue ever since.
 Today the German leaders and the Ger man newspapers are in active cooperation with MT. Hughes Campaign Committee Republican money IS financing a German campaign against the President of the Unit ed States for the benefit of MT. Hughes.
 This hyphen issue was not created by President Wilson. It was created by the lead CTS of the German propaganda who have been pro-German and anti-American on every diplomatic question that has arisen between the United States and Germany. ,.e
 The German leaders heoor drive against the President with a campaign for an embargo on munitions of war nlanufactur- ed for the allies. They vigorously defended the Tirpitz policy of submarine manslaughter and justified the sinking of the Lusitania. In the subsequent diplomatic negotiations they did their utmost to thwart the President and to persuade the German Government not to yield to the American demands. When the Imperial Government deserted them, and abandoned its lawless methods of submarine warfare they cast around for Republican candidate to support against President Will son. They found him in Charles E. Hughes, and he has encouraged them as he has no other element.
 He has harsh and bitter words for the President. He has harsh and bitter words for the ma jority in Congress- He has harsh and bitter words for American work ingmen who demand an eight-hour-day. He has harsh and bitter words for American di- plomats who have worked unceasingly to uphold the interests of their country abroad He has harsh and bitter words for a strug- gling democracy in Mexico. He has noth- ing but criticism and censure for the great constructive work of the Administration. and nothing but expressions of contempt for the Presidents efforts to maintain peace But no word of protest against the German conspiracy has ever crossed his lips His references to 'Americanism" are the cant ref erences in the cant terms of the German press, and are endorsed as such by the Ger man press.
 MT. Hughes is willing that his candidacy should be German candidacy and that if elected his victory should be German vic tory. He has made his choice and all other issues of the campaign sink into insignif- canoe in comparison with this issue which in wolves practical abdication of nationality on the part of the American people.
 There is no escape from it, and no man can vote for Mr. Hughes unless he Is willing that the German Government should point to the election of MT. Hughes as the su- preme vndication of Kaserism in the Unit ed States.
