I WILSON BARELY TOUCHED
 ON POLITICS
[EepusIIean A. P. Leased Wire,

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 12.-I President Wilson today replied to the republican charge that the democrat ic party is a sectional party, with the statement that "anv mar who re- vivesthc issues of sectionalism in this country is unworthy of the confid- ence of the nation"
 The president came to Indianapolis to address meetings of good roads advocates and farmers, review an automobile parade celebrating good roads day of the Indiana centennial, and attend a non-partisan luncheon of leading lndianans. In his first speech he spoke of the good done by highways in preventing sectionalism
 My fellow citizens he continued. T need not tell you that l did not come here to talk politics, but there is one thing that is pertinent in this self the privilege of saving. Any man who rcvives the issue of sec tionalism in this country is unworthy of the confidence of the nation He shows. himself a provincial he shows that he himself does not know the various sections of his own country; he shows that he shut his own heart mp in @ little province, and that those who do not seek the special interests
 
 while he alone is national. That is the depth of anti-patriotic feeling"
 At both meetings the presidents addresses were interrupted frequently by applause, and handclapping mark cd his progress through the streets
 The coliseum at the fair grounds where he delivered his first address had many vacant seats in the rear but the hall ln which he spoke later was filled. He also spoke briefly at Q luncheon given him by Governor and Mrs Samuel II. Ralston. of Indiana The second speech was de- voted to a discussion of the works of the democratic administration for the farmers Of the nation.

 The president of the United States has met these German atrocities with such meekness and has treated these hyphenated offenders against the neutrality and the laws of the repub- lie, so as to call down upon him the severest censure from the very men whom they are supporting.
 The joy of the German press over Mr. Hughes nomination has been and is ecstatic and country wide. Ger man organizations throughout the cities of the nation acclaim his can didacy and are aiding in his election:
 If Mir. Hughes is elected president. his success may justly be regarded throughout the world as a victory for Germany in the United States. II will he notice to civilization that the German vote and through the German vote the German government holds the balance of power in Amer ican politics
 The spectacle of the struggle for this vote by the managers of Hughes and Wilson and the prospect that t may decide the election is disturbing and humiliating."
