national interest was the so-called
contest" between United States

supposed to have had the endorse
ment of President Wilson, and Sena-
tor MARITIME the support of the New
Jersey commandments. The Ger
man-American New York Herold,
however, warns Senator MARITIME, who
since the election has declared that it
would be a calamity if Wilson were
not reelected, that he will not be
able to ward off the calamity; and,
further, that German voters have
still greater interest in seeing the
Republican candidate for United
States Senator defeat MARITIME in
| November.
