government through the activities of
MF Bernstein. whose Intolerance be.

Under the control OF Mr. verick the
~Fatherland" became so seditious after
our entrance into the war that II was

suppressed.
Ar. Veriek does not yet believe that
the United States had a sufficient

Ean the present administration by
voting against Cox.
We say u more In pity than In anger
thai the German vote In the United
States will be cast almost practically
solid for the Republican nominee.
Our Irish friends are nursing a
grievance also because Mr.. Wilson has
not declared war against England and
made ireland an independent republic
under the "selfdetermination clause
OF the fourteen points.
The half million or more negroes
who have gone North, being made to
believe that they owe an everlasting
allegiance to the Republican party will
be registered and voted for the Chica.

The big manufacturers, who desire
a high protective tariff so they can
continue profiteering on the necessi-
ties of the people will vote for Mr..
Harding.
And then. too. there are conspicuous
members of our own party who are

To win this great battle Governor
Cox must rely only upon the moral
sentiment and conscience of the coun-
trT-;he true. genuine redblooded
Americans who feel thrilled by the
baptism of splendor thrown round the
flag under the present administration
We believe as the nation becomes
thoroughly aroused to the sober
second thought and realizes the perils
which confront it. will rescue it from.

at and clawing the Wilson administra,
ton, for while they speak with the voice
of Jacob they are displaying the hands
of Esau.
We already see signs of awakening.
There is decided rift in the clouds.
We believe that it will gain in size
and strength until election day.
Elsewhere it will be seen that n
large number of Progressives have
