is HUGHES PUsSYFooTING?
What America needs president who evidences firm
Of purpose and decsveness in handling national affairs
So informed by the republican party through its mouth
pieces and its director of policies recently reenstaed
dore Roosevelt Hughes is the recommended being
equipped with such ability and purpose
Mr. Hughes stated in his welcome of Roosevent's support
that 1--WE strongly denounce the of soil base foI
alien ntrgues for and for the fomenng of dis
orders in the interests of nation and asserts that
sbility lies at the door of the administration
That is Hughes statement in acknowledgment Of Roose
velt sacrifice of his progressive followers Roosevelt has
nounced that he has accepted Hughes and approves him because
he up the requirements Of his personal beliefs
In that statement progresves to follow Hughes Roosevelt
fays hyphenaed German Americans OF which part fol
lows:
at is urged against Hughes that he support
ed Cat Chicago and before) by the various socaled
German American alliances. | need hardly
repeat what have already said in stern reprobation
OF this professional German American element-the
element typfed by the German American Alliances
and the similar bodies which have in the prenomina-
ton campaign played not merely un- American but
thoroughly anti American part. These have moth
ing in common with the great body of Americans who
IN whole In part of German blood, and who
precisely as good Americans those of any other
ancestry. No good American, o matter
what his ancestry creed have any feeling except
and deestation for those professional German
Americans who seek to make the American president
in effect vceroy of the German emperor The pro-
fesslonal commandments of this type acting
purely in the sinister interest of Germany
have singled out these for specific denuncation
ana aSSuredly III / support candidate 1T be
ceped as proof that | am certain that the candidate
is incapable of being influenced by evil inrgues of
these hyphenated Americans
The hero OF the stand at Amageddon and further
alleges:
'We owe all of present trouble with the pro-
fessional German American element in the United
States to Mr. Wilson's timid and vaclatng
during the last two years.
This last paragraph only did Mr. Hughes parrot like re
peat after Mr. Roosevelt when he acknowledged Theodore
stand OF he endorsed the whole thing the
above produced but he studousy worked around expressly
affirming what Roosevelt said except that part where Roose
welt basey slandered the President of the United States
To repeat mo good American, matter what his
cesy or creed can have feeling except and desaon
for these professional Americans who seek the
American President in effect ceroy the
or Suppose accept this statement of Roosevelt
and truthful and that Mr. Hughes approves he did dis
clam It, What then must the reader think when he read the
statement OF the German American Alliance published shortly
after the republican convention in Chicago that fully
dorsed Hughes and expected throw it's influence
Germans in the United States to induce them
Hughes What do think of it? is what Roosevelt saws
about the alliance that Mr. Hughes approves by silence true
false Is Mr. Hughes going work for this alleged German
Alliance vote getting president influencing machine ac
cep It's support after it has been damned by ROOSEVELT
VIII he encourage all It's above mentioned and alleged
American and antiAmercan and return for
support and justify himself with assertion that President
Wilson is responsible for the alliance and its misdeeds?
This places the fair with Hughes and his
Roosevelt Either Hughes taking stand that false
wards the German American Alliance that proered sup
port and which he has accepted he aorous towards his
avowed Amercansm and the American people, and it is
difficult to ascertain which for his weakness
present pussyfooting, sidestepping, maneuvers.
President Wilson is not bidding for support of foreign
alliance nor is there much indication that such alleged
organization Will have much Influence in the campaign Never
theless Hughes is bidding for that which ound denoc
ed by Roosevelt
