INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Dec. L.
As the Indiana legislature draws
nearer It is becoming Increasingly
pparent that little IS 10 be done by
the top-heavy republican majorities
that Will. in any way. ALLEVIATE from
the republican standards the Ger
man vote. There are many little

Of thcm perhaps. just now, Is the
attacks Of the republicans on the
visit OF Woodrow Wilson to the
peace conference. Such attacks.
dem ocratic leaders here declare, are
mere camoufage on the part of re-
publicans. who have a much deeper
meaning behind their remarks than
Is at first apparent.
Now the Germans in this country,
who are not true blue do not like
the president of the United States
ANY layman knows that is true They
have eVemplified it publicly on at
least one occasion last November,
when heavy German precincts in
many parts Of Indiana gave the re-
publicaus heavy plurahties. The
loyalty of these Germans is not be-
ing questioned by the democratic
leaders here. but they just solemnly
point TO the fact that they are
against the president, and that is
enough to fix them definitely in the
eyes of the real American voters.
who are d termined TO win the war
at any cost.
The republican leaders are not
slow 70 realize such a condition and
there is nothing left undone that
would possibly throw stumbling
blocks In Woodrow Wilson's way.
Therefore the harshest criticism Il
apparent in the republican press OF
Indiana and elsewhere concerning
the presidents history-making trip
abroad. There IS no gainsaying the
fact that a republican president ot
the United States of America would
do just exactly what Woodrow Will
son is doing. were ne in the chair.
He would o himself TO the worlds
most tremendous peace conference
to there fully discharge his duty as
Americas first man, to make the
world safe for democracy" and at
the same time for the future Of this
country of ours But because Wood
row Wilson, "a democrat, is taking
up his great responsibility person
ally. and not delegating it. the re-
publicans are bitterly criticising him.
Back behind the scenes the Ger
mans in this country-if there are
any such remaining, even behind
the scenes-are not at all unwilling
that Woodrow Wilson shall be criti-
cised. They have seen his wonder
ful organization of this nation break
down 40 years of vast preparations
in the Fatherland. 1t is only nat
ural that any Of them, who still
have svmpathies in the Fatherland.
or clinging TO its memories, should
not be intensely hearted to
Mr.. Wilson. And they are welcom-
ing the criticism that has been start
ed about his trip abroad.
