TEDDY TO DODGE GERMANS

New York, Oct. 12.-Democratic
campaign managers profess to see in
the Roosevelt itinerary announced
yesterday, compliance with the de-
mands of western leaders that they
keep the COLONEL out of their terri
tory. Colonel Roosevelt will speak
in W~ilkesbarre, Pa, Louisville, Phoe-
nix, Albuquerque, Denver, Chicago
and Brooklyn.
The democrats say the fact that
Roosevelt is to be kept out Of Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and other
strategic states is highly significant.
They say he is purposely being kept
out of German territory and that his

rider following and the coal miners

in which he lambasts the Germans, thus
showing that he is entirely in sympathy
with him and his like. None of the pro-
ally republican press doubts for a moment
that Hughes is just as proally as his
spokesman, Roosevelt. I wonder that
the German language press fails to take
notice of these facts which tell all Ger
man-Americans in plain language, as
plain as can be, that the republican party
intends to use the German vote merely
as a catspaw in this campaign. The blind
'anything-to-beat Wilson, sentiment of
theirs is a valuable ally in the fight of the
enemies of peace against Wilson, and the
republican campaign leaders play a very
clever game in playing the German vote
out against the president. If we fail to
see that now, we shall have to see our
previous mistake after the election, when
the mask will fall off the faces of false
friends if, unfortunately, the president
should be beaten. fear when the game
is up, German voters will regret to see
that they have been 'sold.' In the hands
OF Hughes and the republican party the
issues the German-American stood for
will be handled in rough-rider fashion,

wise and peaceful course will be put in

A PARTY OF DEEDS

President Wilson gave the Ameri-
can people something to think about
when he said in his speech at Indian
apolis: talking through the
hat ought to be a dead industry. 1t
ought to be discouraged by silence
and empty halls, and every man
ought to have a motto we the stage
from which he speaks, these simple
words, Put up or shut up
II am ready to take my own medi.
cine and If | don't put up l am ready
to shut up"
That last sentence defines the whole
attitude of the democratic admins
tration from the president down to
the smallest Office holder. Demo-
cracy has stood ready at all times to
either deliver the goods or to drop
out of Office. With what composure
it can go to the November elections
n needs only to consult the records
to know.
since the fourth day of March, 1918,
the democratic party has devoted it's
energies solely to the task of making
good its promises to the American
people. HaYing declared it's inten-
tions it was determined to put up the
results or to stop talking.
Compare with this democratic rec
ord the record of the republican
party during the fifty yeare u Was In
power. Each new election sRw the
republicans out talking, promising
accomplishments, but each succeed
ing return to power SAW no putting up
of results until the American people
became tired of empty words and de-
cided to give democracy an oppor-
tunity to show It's worth.
President Wilson has invited the
republicans to put up or shut up.
Since they have nothing valuable to
show the logical thing for them to do
is to shut up, but with such mex
haustible supplies of natural gas as
Hughes and Roosevelt still possess,
1t is not likely there will be any css
sation of talk for some time.
1t remains for the American people,
whom you cannot fool all the time,
to judge between performance and
promise.

The Changed Temper

II harbor no resentment against the
president now l feel that for many
things said and written against him the
German-American citizens owe him an
apology. Our criticism of his actions
and motives has at times passed all
bounds of discretion. No allowances
were made for the difficulty of the inter
national problems he had to wrestle with,
no attempt made to understand his mo-
tives. He was set down as a man whose
sympathies were all British, not American.
Now, in the light of more recent develop
ments. in view of republican activities and
official utterances, l ask myself, who is
American first and last-Wilson who has
steered the ship of state through unparal-
leled dangers and kept us out of war, or
these men, who are the leaders of the re-
publican party, and who have brought all
the immense pressure Of big capital and
infaamed public opinion to bear upon that

GERMANS IN NEW
VIEW OF PRESIDENT

Dubuque, Ia, Oct. 12.-The Dubu-
que Daily Telegraph is in receipt of, a
statement by Rev. w. Heineke, In
which that leader Of German thought
declares his purpose to vote for Wood
row Wilson for president. The an
nouncement takes on great Importance
not only from Rev. Mr.. Heineke's
standing in Dubuque, where for a num-
Der of years he was pastor Of st. Johns
Lutheran church, but from the fact
that he was chairman of the German
Press committee, Of the German En-
barge conference, and of the German
Red Cross, all Of Dubuque.
Rev. Mr.. Heineke recently resigned
his passionate here to engage in bust
ness in New York. He was recognized
here as a leader of German thought and
for a long time was severely critical of
President Wilson; ashamed to confess
that he had misjudged the president.
Rev. Heineke's Letter
In a letter accompanying the state
ment Rev. Heineke says:
cam sending you by separate letter
the statement changed in some details.
1t is a sincere expression of my views,
and though its publication may cost me
some friends for the time being. |
know that before long the majority of
my German-American fellow-citizen
will have to arrive at the same con-
illusions and conviction, and if | have a
regret in connection with this matter it
is only that | could not see or foresee
things which | see clearly before me
today. Then many a bitter word writ
ten or spoken in public would not have
been said. In the light of the develop
ments in the Hughes campaign | see
that, no matter what grievances my
German-American c%ountrymen may
still hold against the president rightly
or wrongly, we should not be ashamed
to confess that we owe President Will
son an apology for misjudging him and
his motives. and make amends by sup
porting him in his fight against the par
ty and candidate of j. p. Morgan & Co
and Il. Roosevelt"
