NE1Ls GRoN TO
SUPPORT WILSON

New York, Sept. 5.-Neils Gron,
who had charge of the Scandinavian
republican bureau in the Mckinley
campaign in 1896. and is widely
known as a republican campaign
orator, announced that he would vote
for Wilson.
Mr.. GrOn is a graduate of Harvard
and makes his home at the Harvard
CLUB when in this city. He is a not
ed expert on international matters.
he will sail for Copenhagen on Sat
urday but expects to return to New
York by October l to take the stump
for Wilson.
lin this worlds crisis says Mr.
Gron today, II believe t;lat hundreds
of thousands of Scandinavians in the
United States feel as / feel, namely.
that there is but one issue before
America, and for that matter before
civilization, that America shall not

try out of war--a greater service than
that no man has ever rendered Ameri
