HAS MR.. WILSON HYPNO-
TIED GERMANY?

THE independent voter who has read
the New York World TO learn the best
that can be said for Mr.. Wilson and the
worst for Mr.. Hughes must, to retain
sanity, come TO one conclusion: Mr.. VIII
son has hypnotized Germany. The
staggering Kaiser. with one side OF his
brain craving peace with the United
States and the other side war. calls to the
voters OF this German colony; Deliver
me from the glare of those terrible eyesl

II President Wilson IL beaten. the
Germans viii have right TO regard II
as "a gigantic German victory" and
10 decorate their windows with flags.
Oncial Germany may not know what
Mr.. Hughes Will do. but Il will know
that the President has been defeated,
and by the German vote that Mr.
Hughes Will be without power until
March 4 and that the Government OF
the United states will be adrift. To as
sumo that the Imperial Government will
not take the fullest advantage OF It's
opportunity ls to assume that the Ger
man war eagle has become a dove.
Let us try TO conceive the tangible
happenings thus conjecturod. on the
night OF November Z, at about 0 O'Clock,
let us say. the news will be flashed to
Germany that Mr.. Wilson is defeated. II
will be o'clock in the morning over there
at that time. but patriotic Berlin will
arise in its nightcap and make night
hideous with grisly Joy. It will decorate
the windows with the intertwlned Ger.
man and American flags. America, II
will cry, has repudiated Wilson and is
loyal to the Kaiser
And then. glowing with the rapture OF
new entente with America, the Ger.
mans will sink an American ship loaded
with American citizens. who will all be
drowned. What could President Wilson
say to that? Something like this:
Great heavens. Lansing, I have been
singularly repudiated by the American
people! The Government OF the United
States is not my personal property.

war. Well. I'm repudiated. Then why
wait till March to start war? Send for
Daniels to call out the marines. and let

More important than even the neces.
sity Of Mr.. Hughes's election is II that
we keep our sanity. II Germany wants
war with us we will be at war with
her whether Mr.. Hughes or Mr.. Wilson
is elected. II Germany doesn't want war
with us we will not be at war with her,
whether Mr.. Hughes or Mr.. Wilson is
elected. Nobody has hypnotized Ger.
