New York, June 14.-Charles e.

to him by newspaper men in regard to
his attitude toward the support offered
him by the German-Americans, said 1t
was zone Of undiluted Americanism."
II stated my position very clearly"
said the Republican presidential can

ton. My attitude is one of undiluted
Americanism. and anybody that sup
ports me is supporting an out-and-out
American, and an out-and-out Ameri-
can policy, absolutely nothing else"
Mr.. Hughes dictated his statement
on "Undiluted Americanism" in re-
Spouse to repeated requests Of inter-
viewers and in the face of his previ-
ously announced determination to say
nothing further on the issues of the
day until his formal notification of
nomination. He met the correspond
ents by appointment, and after dis
cussing his plans informally for a few
minutes, dictated the statement stand
ing in group of about forty newspa-
per men and other callers. ..
1t was the only statement he made
during his talk with newspaper men
that he would permit to 60 out Us au-

this city. He said:
Every sane person is is favor Of
a preventive in whatever form it may
take against the miseries and ills Of
the world. The present political stu
alton is being terribly fused up by
the emphasis that is being put upon
the idea Of military preparedness. We
are losing sight of the fact that we are
at present enjoying the blessedness
Of national peace.
ITO whom is this country obligated
for this wonderful benefaction? Ask
those who in case of war would have
to take their turn in the trenches.
Ask the mothers, fathers, wives, Sis
ters, brothers and sweethearts and
learn from their lips the human in
terest in this war crisis. The bless

broad land is due to the courage and
sanity Of Mr.. Wilson.
People the Real Factors.
"This campaign is going to be set
tied at the hearthstones Of the people.
Big business shall have no place in
this question; the answer will spring
from the hearts of the benefited mill
lions. Every question of CONNER
cial and financial success shrinks into
nothingness when compared with the
domestic or family blessedness which
now is ours.
WILSON'S success assures us of
continuation Of these blessings. 1t

prejudice, malice and envy; politician

ton Of these elements in the body

Z. T. Meredith comes to the PEG.
pie with a real message; message
and a programme which he announced
clearly, directly and without subtre'
fuge; there is no false note, no ap-
peal for strength to the baseness OF
hatred and prejudice; just a clean
cut, wholesome outlook for bigger,
better Iowa, and better government
and better conditions for all the peo-
pie Of the commonwealth.
Meredith will poll practically the III

that vote will be added that great
mass Of Republican voters who have
correctly interpreted the meaning OF
the Harding candidacy and the un-
wholesome forces behind it.
Meredith will win over Harding by

APPRAISING THE SEA FIGHT.

(From the Chicago Herald)
A natural and extremely marked
difference Of opinion as to the signl1
icance of the last great Sea flgh
continues to manifest itself in Ger
many and Great Britain. From tn
kaiser we have the assurance thai
Great Britain's sea power and pres
,.ge have bean broken and that g
great victory has been secured BY
the German fleet.
Now comes A. J. Balfour, first lord
of the admiralty, with the declaration
that the engagement SO far crippled
the German fleet that it will be i'm.
possible for it to undertake import
ant naval movements for months; al
50 that the German losses We're great
err than the British; also that as a
result of the.action. the German. dream
Of possible invasion of Great Brit
ain has been dissipated.
Confirming Mr.. Balfour's charge
that the full German losses were not
made public Immediately after the
battle comes the official admission
from Berlin that tie battle cruiser
Lutzow and the small cruiser Rostock
are to be added to the German loss
es. This makes the losses officially
admitted one battle cruiser, enc old
err ship of the line, four small cruis-
ers and five torpedo boats. Mill
tary reasons is the explanation of
the failure to publish the loss of the
Lutzow and Rostock heretofore.
Itlooks as if the facts of the great
sea fight We're likely to remain one
of those mysteries whose complete so
luton will be found only after the
conclusion of the war. The British
claim that the Germans suffered even
more heavily, and the suspicion that
military reasons may Still counsel
the suppression of further damages
is likely to survive. Meantime there
is no evidence that the German ex-
plot, striking as it appeared, has al
tered the naval situation.

MEREDITH WILL WIN

The Primary election has passed
into history and w. L. Harding has
procured the nomination for Cover
ernor on the Republican ticket.
IN order to procure it he has accom-
plished the amalgamation of all the
hates, prejudices, and envies and Of
all the kicks, objections and protests
OF everybody against everything.
Wherever he has found a man who
mad complaint against any other
publican he has diligently famed II
Into flame and directed the fire to hi.
opposition.
An analysis of his vote would indic-
cate that he has polled something
less than half Of the votes cast for
tne Republican ticket which was an.
proximately half Of the voting strength
Of the Republican party. In other word
Mr.. Harding polled something like Is
per cent Of the Republican strength
of the state. When the fact some
Democrats voted for Mr.. Harding
ia taken into consideration and that
the vets are usually more in evid-
ence are more surely cast their vote
than the drys, that those whom Mr..
Harding misled on the road issue
would be sure to vote is taken into
consideration, it would seem he has
not shown any great strength as
against a candidate on constructive
platform with the dry element really
aroused to the Importance of their
voting in November.
Mr.. Harding will never be able to
claim as much strength again; the
permanent things in this world are
not and cannot be builded on hate,

WILSON'S ACID TEST FOR
PREPAREDNESS.

President Wilson closed his me-
morial day address at Arlington with
Ian appeal Tor national preparedness
He said: I'VE have been engaged
recently, my fellow citizens, in dis
GUESSING the processes Of preparedness
have been trying o explain to you
what we are getting prepared for,
and want to. point out to you the
only process sepaFation which is
possible for tie United States. 1t
is possible for the United States to
get ready only if the men of suitable
age and strength will volunteer to
get ready. l heard the president OF
the United States chamber of COM
merce report the other evening on q
referendum to $50 Of the chambers
of commerce of the United States up
on the question Of preparedness, and
he reported that 80 per cent OF them
had voted in favor Of preparedness,
Very well now, we are going to ap-
ply the acid test to those gentlemen,
and the acid test IS this: VIII they
give the young men in their employ
ment freedom to volunteer for this
thing? l wish the referendum had
included that, because that is the
essence of that matter.
1T is all very well to say that
somebody else must prepare, but are
the business men of this country ready
themselves to lend a hand and sacri-
flee an interest in order that we may
get ready? We shall have an an
swer to that question in the next few
months. A bill is lying upon my ta-
BILE now ready to be signed which
bristles all over with that interroga-
ton point, and l want all the busi-
ness men Of the country to see that
interrogation point staring them in
the face.
II have heard a great many people
talk about universal volun-
tary training With all
my heart, Of you wish it, but Amer
lea does not wish anything but the
compulsion of the spirit of America.
l for my part do not entertain any
serious doubt to the answer to these
questions, because I suppose there is
no place in the world where the COM
pulsion Of public opinion is more i'm
perative than it is in the United
States
The Register and Leader commends
the position taken by the President
on this question which is standing to-.
day upon the threshold of every
community in the country. Here are
some of that papers comments;
Here in Iowa we shall soon be
called upon to recruit at least 1000
new members Of the national Guard.
We shall be called upon to recruit
700 new members here in Des Moines
Why should we talk of univer-
sal military service until these ranks
have been filled. and how are these
ranks going to be filled unless the
men who are marching today
are ready to enlist themselves and
are ready to give their employees
freedom to enlist?
1t IS all very we'll for chambeys Of
commerce to vote for preparedness,
and for business men to march for
preparedness. But the supply of 10th
er men and "other mems boys"
is going soon to be exhausted. AS
long as everybody is looking to the
"other man. and the "other mans
boys" nothing is going to be done.
The question is up to Des Moines
and up to Iowa. Where are the 700
young men. in Des Moines coming

WHY THEY COULD NOT AGREE.

The two parties that held conventio
in Chicago last week failed to agre'
largely. for the reason that neithe
had anything in common with the OF
er, except a desire for the spoll
of power, and when it came to that
neither seemed willing to trust thu
other.
Like the two mice in the story they
were able to agree that 1t was quite
desirable to have bell put on the
cat, but wholly unable to agree upon
how it should be done.
On the paramount issue of Anything
to Beat Wilson, they were hopeiessly
+ divided upon how the attempt should
be made.
Under the leadership of Mark Ham
ma the Republican party became a
property party, party that stood for
the placing the dollar before the
man
Under the leadership of Theodore
Roosevelt the Progressive party has
become force on the side of human
rights.
It is not possible to fuse two such
forces.
Roosevelt has not definitely accept
ed the presidential nomination tend
cred to him by the Progressive par
ty and is now in position to deal
with the Republican bosses They
may promise him all the fields of
the earth for the votes of the Pro-
gressive party, and the Colonel may
contract for their delivery, but he
can not make such a contract good
He might just as well go out and
make bow to the Attic Circle as, to
sit down and issue an order to the
rank and file of the Progressive par
ty to return to the old party of pro-
perry and privilege. Roosevelt could,
undoubtedly, take back with him a
few Of his rich followers, like Per-
skins and straus, but that class Of /
men are not the Progressive party.
There are few differences between
-nrosressfves and Democrats. S the
test votes IN congress are proof Of
the truth of the statement, while
there ave many and fundamental diff
ferences between the Progressive and
standpat Republicans.
Justice Hughes is unquestionable a
highclass nan. Many believe that
his views on public questions are
mech the same as the Presidents and
That he will not stand for the appeal
Of any Of the legislation of the Will
Son administration. It would break
the Colonel's heart to help elect a
president who would take such a pos
ltion. @'l ~
AT this writing no one can tell |
what changes the future has
hidd n behind it's chr.
ta1ns. But come what may the Dem.
ocratic party under the leadership of
Woodrow Wilson, will hold the ship
Of state true to its course, true to
the interests of humanity in this
and every other hand.
