German View of Christianity

Frederick Wilhelm Nietzche
was one of the most noted of mod
ern German philosophers. How
much has his philosophy affected
the views and character Of the
Germans of today? Is not the an
swer written in the blood of the
women and children, the old men
of occupied France and Belgium
Are not the Lusitania victims wit
nesses to German adoption of
Nietzche's faith?
Here is his indictment of Chris
tianity:
"With this | conclude, and pro-
nOunce my sentence: / condemn
Christianity. To me it is the
greatest of all imaginable cor,
ruptions. The church is the great
parasite; with its anemic idea Of
holiness it drains life Of all its
strength, its love, and it's hope
The other world is the motive fol
the denial of every reality. ] cal
Christianity the one great curse
the one great intrinsic depravity
the one great instinct of revenge
for which no >expedient is suffi
ciently poisonous, secret, under
hand, to gain its ends. | call il
the one immortal shame and blem
Iish upon the, human race. "

Start Party Fight
Split Caused by Attempt to
Select New State Com

Especial Dispatch to The Tribune


UTICA, N. Y, June 1S.-A sensa-
tional twist in the Senatorial primary
contest in the Utica district between
Senator Charles w. Wicks and ex-
Senator Frederick NJ. Davenport ap-
parently has showed Mr.. Davenport and
his followers into the Whitman camp
leaving Senator Wicks and the regular
Republican organization on the side of
Attorney General Lewis.
The immediate cause of the new
alignment was an attempt to choose a
new state committeeman in place of
M. Jesse Brayton, leader of the regr.
lar organization in Oneida County. 1t
appears that John G. Thomas, supposed
to be anti-Brayton, went into confer
ence with Charles A. Miller, president
of the Savings Bank of Utica, and there
was an alleged agreement that the anti
Brayton men should support George
against Mr.. Brayton. Mr.. Thomas
changed his mind suddenly and an
nounced himself as candidate for
state committeeman against Allen.
Now there is an alignment with the
Brayton men on one side and the Mil
ler-Allen men on the other, the latter
backed by ex-senator Davenport,
HoihdS W. IoCtOT, reIerreu TO as the
first citizen of Utica; F. w. Bensberg,
j. Fred Maynard. Emerson Willis and
others.
Governor Whitman was the guest of
Mr.. Proctor in Utica yesterday, when
he received the degree of Doctor of
Laws from Hamilton College, and
there is little doubt in Utica that in
the mix-up the Governor and mis-
friends will fight Brayton and Thomas.
The Miller men charge that the United
Gas and Electric Company, of which Mr..
Brayton is secretary, is responsible for
John G. Thomas's desertion of the AL
len forces. Two prominent members
Of the Brayton, or regular, organiza-
tion are Sherman w Havens, chair
man of the Board of Supervisors, and
Seward A. Miller, counsel to the State
Council Of Farms and Markets. Tho
faction leaders say that while the
party is split over Governor and Sana-
tor there will be no division over Con-
gressmen and Assemblymcn.
Four years ago John G. Thomas came
within fourteen votes of defeating
James Smith for Mayor of Utica.
The friends of Mr.. Davenport said
to-day that he would make his fight in
the primaries on the issue of the un
righteousness Of permitting the Utica
Gas and Electric Company to dominate
the Republican organization of Oneida

Shades of Sulzer Arise
The committee of seven has work
ing understanding with Charles F.
Murphy. Mr.. Kelley, of Syracuse, and
Mayor FItzglbbon, of Oswego, have
more than speaking acquaintance
with the boss of Tammany Hall. Tam
many Hall at present is not reaching
out for the Office OF Governor of the
State of New York. Like Hamlet's
father, the shades of Sulzer rise, girls
ly, CORY and sinister. whenever Tam
many collectively contemplates naming
a candidate for Governor. The Sulzcr
experiment came pretty near bankrupt
ing Tammany politically.
The conferrees when talked with
slngiy admit that the Democratic pros
poets are none too bright. One of
them in commenting on the outlook
said:
1--WE look for a bitter fight in the
primaries between Whitman and Lewis,
but the Republicans have way of get
ting together again after their family
quarrels. The enrolled Republicans Of
the state exceed the enrolled Demo
Gratis by about 10000, and on the law
of averages that means that the Re-
publcans have a normal plurality of
about that size. This is rather clearly
shown by the fact that last fall when
the Republicans were all torn up in
New York over the Mayoralty, Attor-
ney General Lewis was elected by more
than 10000. This means that we have
an uphill battle ahead of us''
