The Divine Right of Sportsmen

Hyphens Want Recognition

The National League of GermanAmericans successor OF
the man-American Alliance compulsory dissolved dur
ing the war; at meeting last month at Chicago adopted
resolutions demanding place Hardings cabinet list Of
candidates satisfactory to the league drawn up from
which Presdentelect Harding may choose This list was
afterwards taken to Marion by a committee.
The committee instructed to call the attention OF the
presdente the fact that he received the solid German
American vote in the election bcause of Cos endorsement
of President Wilson and his policies, that the German
Americans swung the victory to Harding and entitled to
recognition politically.
The suggestion is in harmony with the spirit OF the
times and doubtless the delegates welcomed along with
other 'best minds" consulted by the eXecuvetobe 1t
would certainly be fine idea to have representative OF the
exiser like George Sylvester Verck editor Of the Father
land, secretary of state.
But if the COMMUNICATIONS recognized for having
elected Harding why should not the Irsh-American also
be? If the COMMUNICATIONS delivered three million votes
did the IrishAmercans deliver two million votes for
Harding claim they did? What's the matter with Jere-
ah OLeary for secretary of war for the Sim Fem GER
tainly earned recognition?
Another element also deserving recognition are the
Italian Americans who assert they voted sOlidly for
Harding casting million votes against the democratic
candidate because the administration refused sanction the
Fiume asco Imperialism. Why not Italian secretary
of labor?
In fact, if Mr. Harding heeds the pleas of organized
hyphens who voted soidy for him, will have hyphen
ated cabinet Apparently the only citizens who did not vote
sodly for Harding the native born whites, and they
don't deserve recognition because they split their votes be-
tween the parties.
