they supported him accordingly with
out any regard to other considerations.
81 need hardly repeat what l have
already said in stern reproduction OF

the element they produced by
the German-American alliance and the
similar bodies which have in the pre-
campaign played not mere

anti-American part.
"No good American, no matter what
his ancestory or creed, can have any

ing purely in the sinister interest OF
Germany.
Would Sacrifice Nation
"They have shown their eager readi-
ness to sacrifice the interest of the
nited States whenever its interest
conflict with that of Germany. They
epresent the adherence to the poll

public. I have singled these men
out for specific denunciation and as

whole course of conduct in public af-
airs justifies US in assured convic-

for their own purposes supported him
will, in no shape or way affect his
public action before or after election.
His entire public life is guarantee
of this.
Wilson is Lacking

been not to consider his words, but
