Pulling for the Hyphcnnte Vote

HE American people will not lightly dis
miss the charge OF the Democratic vice.
presidential nominee that the Republican
managers are making every effort to secure
the hyphenated vote by directing special ap-
peals to this small, but very dangerous ele-
ment which was not loyal during the war.
The proof OF his charge is found, not only
In the literature they sending out and
in the utterances of some of their speakers,
but in the responsive activities as we'll of
the organizations formed to promote the
candidacy OF Senator Harding with hyphen-
atcd names. Conspicuous among the hy-
phenates who are giving the Republican
candidate their active support by lining up
others OF that ilk is George Sylvester
Niereck, whose name and record is
synonym for divided allegiance.
This sinister Repu blican appeal for votes
is in itself menace to that all-American-
ism which it is absolutely necessary to as
sert and put in full control OF every depart
ment Of the government il our political in
s,itutions are to be preserved in their full
constitutional vigor. From the establish
ment of the republic, it has been the policy
OF the government to welcome dissatisfied
emigrants from all other countries of the
world, Offering them an asylum from op-
preston and free opportunity to establish
homes in America lend their efforts to the
development OF its abundant resources and
to give their support to its institutions. In
thus opening wide the door OF opportunity
to them, 1t expects and demands whole
hearted, undivided allegiance to the country
OF their adoption. In other words, the ex-
pectation is that they will show their APP
probation by becoming fully Americanized.
Hence, when a political party, in its
stress for support to regain control OF the
government, from which it was displaced
eight years ago by an outraged electorate in
rebuke for its betrayal OF a public trust,
seeks TO defeat the work of Americanizing
this influx OF foreign population by COM
promising with the spirit OF divided al
legiance, tits time for the country to rise up
in righteous wrath and voice such over
whelming protest as will put it on notice
that loyal Americanism is determined that
its rule shall not be overthrown by partisan
politics. in its exigency, successfully relying
on hyphenate votes.
