unflinching performance of duty"
FACT Son June q, Roosevelt said
I'm my judgment the nomination OF
Mr.. Hughes meets the my condition.
No good American can have and feel
ing except scorn and detestation for
those professional German Americans
who seek to make the American Presi-
dent in effect a viceroy of the German
Emperor. They represent that adher-
ence to the politico-racial hyphen
which is the badge and sign of moral
treason to the Republic. l am certain
that candidate (Hughes) is incapable OF
being influenced by the evil intrigues
of these hyphenated Americans"
FACT 9--On June 20, Roosevelt and
Hughes We're at dinner together for
two and half hours.
FACT 10-After that dinner Hughes
said: 1--WE talked very fully over all
matters AND WERE IN COMPLETE
ACCORD"
FACT 10-Three days after that din
ner Roosevelt said Of Hughes: "His
high qualities must recommend him to
the esteem of the whole world. par
ticuIarIy to the sympathy Of the allies.
He certainly would never have suffer

States. as one of the signatories to the
Hague Treaty. TO pass over without
protest the violation of Befgium's neu-
trality by Germany. He would never
write two notes on the same Offense.
lie would perhaps issue a warning,
but afterwards lie would act accord
ing to his conscience and for the hon
or Of civilization. This is what he Ger
tainly will do, if he becomes the Pres
ident of the United States"
FACT 12-On August 81, Roosevelt
denounced German citizens for TACT
ing as servants and allies of Ger
many" He condemned the Admin
istration for failing to live up to it's
duty to resist the invasion Of Belgium.
He added: eve can put in power an
administration which will live up to
our national obligations. AS between
Mr.. Hughes and Mr.. Wilson, who can
doubt which is the man who will with
austere courage stand for the national
duty?"
FACT 13-On September /, Hughes
wired Roosevelt: II heartily congratu-
late you on the Speech at Lewiston
and warmly appreciate your effective
support" spoke Of Roosevelt as 'That
stalwart American who woke the
country" and aped Roosevelt by say
ing: 1--WE want deeds to match words.
I am not one of the kind that is too
proud to fight" On the following day,
he stated that he knew what was in
Roosevelt's Maine speech, and endors-
ed every word Of it!
FACT 1+Candidate Hughes springs
from the most loyal of British stock,
Wales in 1856, barely seven years be-
fore Charles was born.
FACT IS - Mr.. Hughes naturally
sympathizes with England, as does a
son of a German immigrant with that
country which he lovingly refers to as
"Fatherland." 1t is only natural that
Mr.. Hughes should stamp his approx
al upon all that Roosevelt-hater and
traducer of German-American citizens
-utters.
FACT IS - If Roosevelt's policy
which Mr.. Hughes has accepted with
out modification had for the past "a
months been the policy Of this Govern
ment, war with Germany would have
been inevitable.
FACT 17-And if we had conquered,
we could have obtained nothing more
than an apology for wrongs commit
ted, a promise to respect our rights in
the future, and monetary indemnity!
FACT 18-If Mr.. Hughes is elected
President on this issue, it is notice to
all the world that America repudiates
her policy of peace for the Roosevelt.
Hughes policy Of war Let the issue
world knows, that Woodrow Wilson
will maintain the peace unless the Ma
TONS honor is assailed. He is no more
afraid to fight than q real God-fearing,
brave, upright man should be.
Thoughtful men know that a Presi-
dent advised by Roosevelt, in accord
and agreement with Roosevelt, would
as soon light as be right. A vote for
Hughes is potential vote for war.
Now Let Us Add Il All Up, first not
