H. L.. Beecher, chairman of the county
committee, presided at the meeting aid
called on F. w. johnson AS, the fazR
speaker.

system of Prussianism which placed
might above right. Formerly, the Ger
man people had struggled for freedom
and were victorious in this fight. No~s
however, under the regime of the Hohen-
zollern family, they had forgotten theR
ideals and were striving with the Kaiser
for world conquest. It was now figIls
for democracy against autocracy.
