Political Ranges

For years Henry /. (Hank)
Weeke was a republican leader in
St. Louis and until recently commis-
sioner of weights and measures, a
responsible and lucrative office, and
all the while he was subject to clas-
sihcation as a German enemy alien.
When the fact Of his non-citizenShip
was ascertained he made haste to
apply for citizenship, but his appil-
cation has been turned down by the
United States district court. In dis
missing the petition the court held
that the burden of proving his good
character rested on the petitioner
and that Weeke had not sustained
this burden and had not proven his
fitness for citizenship. The records
OF the government secret service
show that there are thousands OF
cases like that OF Weeke'S in the
United States.

number of votes in Nebraska may
be divided as 40 per cent loyal re-

this 20 per cent has held the balance
