Not Brewers Alone But Republicans

Addressing the sub. committee of the United States Senate Ju- dietary Committee which, by a resolution drawn by the attor- ney of the Anti Saloon League, is to investigate the Brewers Association, Senator Jones of Washington, the alleged author asserted that, although the in, quiry concerned brewers and newspapers chiefly. it was to be unlimited in scope.
 That's to say it's not to be linn tied to the corrupt activities of the brewers in their relations with purchasable newspapers or purchasable men who by one process or another are able to in. huence certain newspapers to support beer and it's by products. In his speech Senator Jones made it plain that he expected to prove an alliance between the Brewers Association and the German American Alliance.
 The German American Ali ance was incorporated by an act of a Republican Congress, ap> proved by Republican Presi dent, in 1907.

 What we do know is that in the Presidential campaign of 1916 the German. American Alliance, assuming to rule by the grace of the German Emperor. publicly proclaimed it's hostility to Wood row Wilson. The same organi- zation which for a year had been defending the sinking of the Lus- itania acrayed itself openly on this occasion against the United States Government, which it de- scribed as a munitions peddling firm.
 The World holds no brief for the brewers, but in fairness it must be said that nothing in the record involves them with the German-American Alliance, dis. solved in shame and humiliation last April by it's own act, to such an extent as notorious facts i'm plicate Republican politicians with that organization.
