result in closer cultural connection
with Germany than desirable for the main
tenance of the characteristics of the
Danish nationality.
From the point-of view of the Allies,
the cession of the whole of Schleswig-
Hostcin would seem undesirable 1t
would result in continuous dispute be-
tween Denmark and Germany. A ter
rtorial arrangement which was not un-
reservedly and honestly accepted by Ger
many would have to be constantly main
tanned automatically and, on occasion,
it is to be feared by military force. As
Denmark, even thus enlarged, would be
weaker than Germany, there would rest
upon the Allies and the United States,
the care and responsibility of maintaining
such an arrangement. In other words,
Denmark would be in the regrettablc
position of being compelled to look for
assistance from outside, while the political
consultations might be constantly chang
ing.
From this it may bc seen that all the
recent talk about restoring the whole Of
Schlcswig- Hostein to Denmark is n ease
of other governments rushingin where even
Danes fear To tread All the restoration
that the Danes want is North Scheswig,
and President Wilson has pledged his
word to help them get that.

Dick Backers try to Obscure Real Issues by Start
ing Campaign Of Mud Singing
Statement by Chairman Cornelius u Of Summit County Executive Comm itee
the Evening" mesof wanmdayOd

Certain candidates for office the democratic
ticket, among them Martin L: Davey, the party's
nominee for congress, have been made the objects
of campaign of mudslinging and vGcation.
We will not permit Mr. Davey, any other demo
cratic candidate, to be drawn into this sort OF small
town wrangle. ND
We will not permit this important campaign to
be clouded by controversy over purely irrelevant
matters, introduced by the Akron Beacon Journal in
a desperate effort to divert the attention of the
voters.
The republican candidates, and the Akron Beacon
Journal, must meet us the main issues. Regard
sentation, we propose to keep this campaign upon
the high plane where it belongs.
To the fathers mothers, brothers and sisters of
the boys "oEer there" there is but issue, the
election as Representative to Congress of the cand
date whose record, temperament, training and char
acter gives best assurance that President Wilson
will receive from him single-mnded and intelligent
support to the one end-bringing the war to glor-
ious and victorious peace.
In the hearts of these, there is but the one de-
sire, in their minds but the thot, to bring back
to their own hreside, quickly and honorably our
boys who are fighting the hosts Of the
sea. Not by the way OF compromise or German
peace, but by the way of speedy victory. Not by
the peace outlined In Charles Dicks Ledertafel ad-
dress--not by the peace desired advocated and
preached by c. L. knight, who bemoaned the loss as
ambassador OF Bernstorff, the arch-murderer of
American women and children
Does Charles Dick wish to indicate that If elected
to Congress ne will adopt policy which will give
force to the arm OF Woodrow Wilson in attaining
this desired end, or will he follow the program Of
heckng criticism typifed by the Bernstorffian Bea-
con Journal, bis spoasen? :. 90
Does he wish to- be judged by his record Of voting
one hundred and eight times with the Aidrich-
