AN EXPLODED IDEA.

One of the most gratifying results
of the primary contest for United
States Senator is the complete refu-
tation of the idea that the German
American citizens were not gooo
Americans.
Cheap demagogues have tried tt
convey the idea that the people OF
German birth or descent were not in
sympathy with sturdy Americanism
and candidates that stood for the
United States first, last and forever
There were four candidates before
the electors of Minnesota for the pc.
sition of United States Senator. The
friends of one confidently claimed the
German support because he votec
against the United States in the
halls of Congress. Another made
anti-preparedness the basis of his
claim for the German vote. Another
kept his mouth closed tighter than {
wolf trap on all questions of foreign
policy upon which there might exist
a difference of opinion.
There was still another candidate
who was the bluest of blue-beljieo
yankees. He was American by name
by birth, springing from a long line
of American ancestors and before ar
hundred immense Minnesota audi.
ences proclaimed the American doc.
trine that a citizen of this country
had right to go anywhere he had q
desire to go and it was the
bounden duty of this government tc
protect him in that right, and elo.
quently advocated that it was the sa-
cred obligation of the nation to pro-
vide and adquate naval and military
force to guarantee him it's exercise
in every part of the globe where he
had a legitimate right to reside and
engage in business of a legal char
acter.
Some of the closest friends of this
candidate tried to get hins to modify
his vigorous stand on Americanism
and his positive demands for power
to back it up, but: he only grew
insistent as the campaign progressed.
Stearns county is the strongest
German county in the state and the
vote stood: Kellogg, 1853; Lindberth,
S25; Eberhart, COL; Clapp, 23Y.
Mr.. Kellogg receiving 533 plurality
over his nearest competitor, and only
lacked 391 votes of having a majority
over all.
Let us hear no more about German
citizens not being loyal citizens of
the United States.

mony be regarded as one of the lior-
rors of war.

The immediate policy is to stop a
sweep TO Hughes that will give to him
tho nomination at the outset Of the
balloiing. The secondary policy is

II is probably true that the man

anything like landslide proportions,

colonel will say something that will

Gov, Samuel W. Mccall Of NIassa-
chusetts has figured persistently as a
dark horse possibly since the Massa-
chuSetts primaries. The Weeks man
agement insists that all hut four Mas

preference primaries in Michigan, with
30 votes. The delegates were not
elected at these primaries and few OF

from Michigan is that the 30 votes
viii DO cast for Ford on the first bal
lot and that % will switch TO Hughes
on the second.
Hadley.
Former Gov. Hadlcy is not a candI-
date. HIS name is included in the
tabulRtIon because Of the peculiar fac
tional disturbance in Missouri that re-
suited in his defeat for the chairman
ship OF the state delegation last week.
He Is likely to get 8 votes for presi-
dent on tho Grst ballot.
Hughes.
Justice Hughes has instructions
from two states. both by the direct pri-
mary route. In Oregon he has 10
votes. Vermont not only gave him the
primary Endorsement, but the state
convention Friday instructed the s
delegates for him. In this tabulation
he is marked up for 80 votes in New
York. Authorities vary greatly az to
this figure. Some claims arc made as
high as 80. Others drop to ~. The
justice Is known to have 2 delegates

All that the leader OF each southern
state wants is to land with the nomi-
nee, All that he has at stake is the
federal patronage with a Republican
administration in power at Washing
ton.
This is an essential factor in tho
framework of tho combination, I'M
doubtedly. 1t is upon this theory that

Root to Lead Field.
The tabulation, upon the hypothesis
that the states in the combination and
not bound TO favorIte sons. will be cut
up between the candidates listed as
acceptable TO the combination, shows
that no candidate will have 100 votes
on the first ballot: that Root will lead

ence between the other friendly
candidates.
