percentage of the progressive vote cast for Roosevelt in 1912 than that which statistics show will re-elect President Wilson. | look for much larger vote for MT. Wilson than he got in 1912. Many democrats in 1912 did not know of Wilson. They knew he had been governor of New Jersey and that was about all they knew of him politically. But now Wilson is a national figure and that will make a great difference. MT. Wilson has been tried and found not wanting."
 MT. Mccormick made public a tele- gram he received from Edgar c. Sny- der, a. progressive leader on the Pacific coast, who was chairman of the pro- gressive state committee of Washing ton in 1912. The telegram said:
 T believe that the bulk of the progressive party will refuse to follow those members of the national com mittee who voted to indorse Hughes. They who fought at Armageddon can not easily be led into such a back ward course. They see through the cloak now so artfully thrown about the machine they fought in 1912. The progressive party was not the CISdIuI0 Ol Wll1Il OI I11S pIOuuCI Ol a mere factional quarrel. The pro- gressive party was not a one-man party, although unfortunately such idea was permitted to become wide 1y spread. The progressives followed Roosevelt because they thought he was one of them and would lead them where they wanted to go. He lost his hold upon them when he hrOl<a tha foith r1o6oaS thono and he cannot now deliver the vote of his disillusioned party.
 '"The progressive party in 1912 car ried this state by 0 wide margin. I had the privilege of acting as chair man of the state committee, and I have good reason to know that I now speak for many thousands of the voters of that party when I say we feel it our solemn duty to work and vote for the reelection of Presi- dent Wilson. We believe today that MT. Wilson more than any other man of adequate national prominence is the effective exponent and champion of the essential principles upon which the progressive party was founded
 Mr. Mccormick left New York late yesterday afternoon for Washington to confer with President Wilson He refused to say whether or not he would announce the democratic cam paign committee upon his return. He didn't even want to say how many members it would have.

HAIG'S BRAND OF PEACE
Leader of British Forces in France Says It Must Be "RealIy VaIid'- to Decide War on West Front.

Paris, July 22, 5:25 a. m.-Senator Henry Berenger, who has returned from visit to the British field head quarters, quotes General Sir Douglas Haig as saying: We must impose a peace that is really valid. as we shall have paid for it.
 The French senator was shown in detail the methods used by the Brit ish general staff in handling the en- ormOus details of the western cam paign. He describes Sir Douglas Haig as commander who leaves nothing to chance and says that the British commander believes that the war will be decided on the western battle- fields.
 ''The technical skill of the British general staff,'' said the senator lis or an equality with the heroism of the British toops.''

 VICTORY IN FALL
byS Wilson Will Win With Small Part Of Moose Vote

New York, July 22-Confident that Re rank and file of the Progressives Ell vote for their individual choice Rr president regardless of the action the National Progressive committee the action of the New York State Progressive committee, in session at Eracuse today, National Democratic Enalrman Vance Mccormick says that the democrats get only a very small |lce of the 4,000,OOO and more votes hst for Theodore Roosevelt for presi- |ent in 1912, the success of the Will pn campaign was assured. He was |lre Wilson would get many Moose ptes
 Chairman Mccormick sat down yes- erday and figured out that the Re- |ublicans might get much more than |alf of the Progressive vote and then lot win. MT. Mccormick demon Erated his case by the state of New fork in this way; in 1912, Wilson got D this state 655, ,000 votes; Taft 455, Do, and Roosevelt, 39O,0OO. MT. Me |ormicI1 pointed out that by allowing he Republicans three-fourths of the
  um Der to the votes MT. Taft got, and dding the other fourth to the votes Wilson got, the Dem mocrats would still ave margin over the Republicans, nth 753, 900 votes, as compared to the !. O. P.'s 74S,000 on the 1912 basis.
 Therefore the way MT Mccormick gured it out was this:
 If 25 per cent of the 1912 Bull loose vote in New York goes to the Wilson will carry the state; rnilarly, the Democrats will carry hio with 20 per cent of the Progress I've vote; New Jersey will go Demo- ratio with 12 per cent of the Pro- ressives voting Democratic; Nebraska, Jith 3 per cent; Maine, with 26 per ent; Illinois, with 20 per cent; West virginia, with 27 per cent; Kansas, r1th 26 per cent; Massachusetts, with 5 per cent, and North Dakota, with f per cent.

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD
October 6, 1916
THE JEWISH FRAT"
A Plain, Outspoken Opinion of Harvard Man.

A tragedy of Israel unfolded itself
before our eyes. A Jewish fratern-
ity, stated a Yiddish dispatch, was
refused recognition by the authori-
ties of Rochester University.
"The new Jewish organization
read the news items-"bears the
Greek insignia Kappa Nu.' The
founders of the fraternity wished to
be represented like the Gentle fra
ternities, among the college organ
izations; and wished, too, to be rec
orded in the annual publication The
Inter-Press' O. but were prohibit
ed. The dean of the university had
decided in favor of the Jews but the
decision was reversed by the presi
dent who refused the Jewish fra
ternity all recognition.
"The Jewish students assert that
they we're compelled to found a Jew
ish fraternity because the Gentiles
were not willing to admit them into
their own fraternities. The Gentle
students admit that they do not OPP
pose the participation of the Jews
in certain undergraduate activities
but are not willing that the physi-
economies of the Jews shall be repro
duced in the annual periodical to cast
bad reflection on the college. The
Jews contend, on the other hand,
that they will not surrender their
organization and will fight for recog
nition"
This is the substance of the sad
message What are we going to do
about it?
In the midst of our intellectual
centers in this land of freedom, the
sinister spirit Of anti Semitism is
asserting ITSELF The Jewish physi-
ognomy is condemned, the Jewish
fraternity is repudiated, the Jewish
student is ostracized
It is a humiliating state of af-
fairs.
If race prejudice is showing itself
in our colleges, pray, what can be
henceforth expected in our society,
in our business, on our baseball
grounds?
A Jewish fraternity has been re-
fused recognition Let us open the
gates of Jeremaic lamentation
Alas, is it not true that we are
too ready to weep over such "tra-
gedies"? Is it not, unfortunately,
too true that we start at the faint
est shadow and shrek in alarm at
the murderer, vandal, hooligan, we
see lurking in the innocent corner

men" and Jewish plain guys
The Jewish fraternity not only is
a wedge in the general life of the
college but is also the breaking
point in the integrity of the Jewish
element seeking to cultivate spirit
ual life as in the Menorah society.
The Jewish fraternity is cause of
disintegration, of splitting-up, and,
therefore, not desirable.
1t is a proven fact. I can quote
an instance.
The recent classes at Harvard
have contained in their ranks certain
Jewish young men Of exceptional
brilliance, following a tradition, of
course, that has been handed down
since the days of Louis Brandeis
and Julian Mack and Felix Frank
furter. Not always are these Jew
ish leaders scions of families Of
wealth, for one of them appointed
to instructorshlp in the Semitic de-
partment this year-has a physiog-
nomy, accent, and mind that is the
product of the Yeshivah Rebbenu
Yitzchok Elchanan down on Henry
street in the East Side of New
York. These men not only stood
high in scholarship, winning prizes
and degrees with distinction, but
also contributed to college maya
zines-on Jewish subjects, one
of them and participated in the
varsity debates and in the college
plays. Youths of exceeding wealth
were entered into certain rich fra
ternities when it was found they
could pay the bills These Jews
were not ashamed of their jewish
ness. They met constantly in the
Menorah society, where every single
Jew was sure to feel at home, to
meet everybod y else, to renew old
acquaintance, to make new ones
seem like old. The spiritual life of
the Jewish community rotated about
this cultural hub.
Last year, few foreigners"
came into the college life; that is,
they were aliens coming from other
colleges, who came to Finish" their
careers in the distinguished environ
ment of College Yard. These "for-
eigners," naturally, were the elite of
the other colleges and belonged
there to the Jewish fraternities. At
Harvard, to their surprise, they
found no fraternity. Immediately
they set about to form a chapter of
the 81. B. T."
What was their greater surprise
to find that the leading Jews of the

The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1916-10-06

A Jewish fraternity has been re-
fused recognition
The thinking young Jewry Of this
countrywide read this page-feel
rightful spirit of resentment on read
ing this news. But they should
pause in reflection before they direct
this feeling against the authorities
of Rochester University.
Would you think it preposterous
and unfair if it were to be said on
this page-the patriotic forum of an
intensely Jewish paper-that the
Jewish race should feel righteous
resentment toward the spirit and
personnel of the Jewish fraternity?
The Jewish collegian who has
gone to the ordinary college in
the typically "American," or New
England community-say, to a
college like Harvard-can we'll
understand the position. 1t is an
attitude more difficult to justify in
the eyes of young Jews who have
not yet mingled freely in the at
mosphere considered thoroughly
"American" There is a far cry be-
tween Cambridge, Massachusetts,,
and the ghetto of the East Side in
New York.
The Jewish fraternity is con-
sidered by college authorities, as
we'll as by Jewish college men, to be
not a result-but cause-of anti
Semitism in the American college or
university! No organization is a
healthful organization if organized
along racial lines. The gigantic In
tercollegiate Menorah Society, or
ganized throughout the colleges of
the land for the study of Hebraic
culture and ideals, makes no provl~
sion that the ranks of membership
Of the minor Menorah societies be
open only to Jews. Not even the
Gentle fraternity makes constltu-
tional provision that Jews, or col
ored men, or Catholics, or poor self
supporting students are to be ex-
cluded. 1t is only the so-called Jew
ish fraternity that openly and sullen
ly makes these provisions of racial
discrimination. 1t is only the sup
posedly Jewish fraternity that says:
81 am a Jew and you are a Gentile,'
and erects fence in the clear open.
The Jewish undergraduate life is
split up, as we'll as the general un-
dergraduate life of the college COM
munity For now that the college
periodical is supposed to take into
account ''Gentile societies" and
'Jewish societies., % there is also an

vocated yesterday afternoon by Walter

Mr.. Dickey's talk followed addresse@
by David W. Hill, Of Poplar Bluff,
candidate for the nomination for Con-
gresham in the Fourteenth District,
and Senator Conway Elder Of st.

Mr.. Dickey spoke almost entirely on
national issues and az several times,
his remarks were interrupted by Ova-
tiOns.
81 once heard Eiihu Root say in New
York that more than 30 per cent Of
the working men in this country are
engaged in transportation" Mr.. Dick
ay declared. You think about it, and
you conclude with Mr.. Root that a lot
of US arc engaged in taking things
from one place to another.
''For that reason / am an advocate
of a system that will give hard sur
faced road to any place in the country,
east and west or north and south.
Roads have q great deal to do with the
problem of transportation, and | be-
liove in Federal aid to the states; state
aid to the counties, and county aid to
the townships in this matter of secur-
ing good hard surfaced roads.
1T ought to be possible to go any
where at any time, day or night with
out regard for the kind Of weather con-
ditions existing.
There is one proposal to attain this
end. 1t provides that the Federal gov
eminent issue S50O,OO0,000 in three
per cent bonds. These are to be al
lotted to the states in the same ratio
as their tax assessments line up. The
states I per cent bonds are to be taken
by the Federal government in return.
Under such a scheme with differ
ence of one per cent on the bonds
working in favor Of the Federal gov
eminent for 80 years, there will be a
sinking fund large enough TO pay off
the entire debt. The states will not
have to repay their 4 per cent bonds
and the Federal government viii be
free of the threes.
