Baltimore, Jan. 30.-Opposition to the
denomination and reelection OF Pres
ident Wilson was recommended to
"active and passive members of the
Northeastern Saengerbund in a reso-
luton adopted at meeting Of the di-
rectors here today.
A preamble states that the President
in his message to Congress last month
"by inuendo accused the citizens of
German birth of being traitors to- their
adopted country"
Therefore, it was resolved that we
protest as American citizens against
the act of the President, attacking and
insulting a large and loyal part of the
citizenship of the United States

PRESIDENT WILSON may Give
WORD OF HIS INTENTIONS ABOUT
CANDIDACY BEFORE FEBRUARY Is

No decision as to what steps the
President will take was reached today,
but the subject will be discussed later
this week at a meeting of the state
Democratic committee. Up to the
present Mr.. Wilson has not indicated
even to his closest friends whether he
expected to run again. He has taken
the position that the people themselves
should determine the question. All the
campaign plans Of the Democratic
leaders, however. are being laid on the
supposition that he will be the party
candidate.
