THE HOME TOWN CANDIDATE

Under the workings of the primary law in this county the
small town candidate for political honors has a rather slim chance,
unless there is sufficient competition to split the vote. Belt is
honored IN the present primary campaign by the entrance into
the lists OF one of its most progressive citizens, Mr.. George w.
Merkle, who has filed for the very important office of state sem
ator from Cascade county. From our viewpoint it is unfortunate
that Mr. Merkie continues to stick with the democratic party, but
we are generous enough to eoncede that even with that failing he
viii make a mighty good representative to send to Helena, for
first OF all Mr.. Merkle s a good business man who has made a sue
cess OF every venture he has undertaken, and they have been many
and varied. Coming to Butte as a boy from his native state of
ne started In to make his own way by getting a Job as

movement of public progress in the town which he regards as his
permanent home. AS a booster for Belt and the county at large,
Mr.. Merkle is in a class by himself.
We regret exceedingly that political exegencies prevent our
casting a vote In the primaries for our progressive townsman, but
at that we are under the impression that he has an excellent chance
for the nomination lnasmuch as he is opposed by several other
In ms own party. We are certain that if he is success
full and by any chance should also win out in the general election,
he will make his influence felt in the legislative halls of the state.

The American Jewish world., 1922-05-26

Cities were honored by thir appoint
ment to committees, Rabbi Kleinman
serving on the committee on affilia-
tions and conciliation, and DR.. Geo.
J. Gordon on the committee on mi
nority rights.
From the above report, it is clear
that the American Jewish Congress,
though it failed to receive the sup
port of all elements, was nevertheless
sufficiently representative to speak
for American Israel. It was certain
ly more democratic than the self
appointed agencies that have in the
past taken the liberty of speaking
authoritatively for Israel. Here we
have the first genuinely constructive
attempt to deal with the Jewish prob
lem from every angle and to seek
counsel from all Jewry on the mat
ters of greatest concern to it. The
delegates were imbued with sincere
and earnest desire to serve the Jew
ish cause and labored tirelessly and
zealously to achieve the success it's
deliberations deserved. 1t would be
we'll for those Jewish organizations
that in the past have been lukewarm
and even Indifferent to the question of
Jewish Congress, to realize that
we have reached point in Jewish
life where the voice of Israel should
be heard only through the medium of
united Israel speaking annually
through the Congress.
Whether the Congress is to become
what it's devotees wish it to be, de-
pends in large measure upon Ameri-
can Israel's ability to rise to the i'm
portance of the occasion. In the
words of DR.. Wise, the "thon geber"
of the Congress, ''The Honor of Is
rael is in our keeping"
The American Jewish world., 1922-05-26

san for united Israel. Our motto
must be, Nothing that is of interest
to the well-being and honor of Israel
is outside the range of our collec-
tive concern and solicitude as Ameri-
can Jews We cannot fail our
brother Jews; we must not disappoint
our fellow Americans. The honor of
American Israel is in our keeping"
Untermyer's Address
Mr.. Samuel Untermyer of New
York was elected temporary chair
man of the convention. In the course
of his address he said:
"To say that an American Jew is
lacking in loyalty to his country be-
cause he wants to secure for his own
people the home toward which they
have been for centuries -straining
their eyes, where they will be safe
from the bolts and shafts of hate,
bigotry and persecution, and where
they may enjoy the same liberties and
opportunities with which we are
blessed, is form of psychology that
it has been difficult for most of us
to understand.
"In few weeks the struggle will
be over; the mandate will be an ac-
complished fact. Then our real re-
sponsibility will begin.
'The pride and reputation of Jewry
the world over are at stake. We
have had our differences while the
problem was a debatable one; now
that it is settled let us forget those
differences and stand shoulder to
shoulder for the redemption Of our
promises"
Sokolow's Speech
Another notable address was that
of Nahum Sokolow. He said in part:
National rights of the Jews in the
Diaspora and the Jewish Homeland
are of equal Importance. There can
be no contradictions between them.
The Jews must claim national rights
as such, and not emancipation. Ma
tional rights does not mean the es-
tablishment Of state within state.
If that were the case there would be
no need for Zionism.
"The work Of the Jewish delega-
tion at Paris is not yet finished. Many
treaties are not yet signed. Many
nations and states are not yet recog-
nized. The Peace Conference is not
finished. Who shall look after the
Jewish rights in the new treaties to
be made? The Jewish Congress must
become the agency to look after the
Jewish interests, to take care Of, con-
troll, and watch Jewish rights wher-
ever these are in jeopardy. Israel
must organize for elf-defense. Amer
lean Israel must give light to Euro
pean Israel. The Jewish Congress
must give the support to Herbert
Samuel, British High Commissioner

Washington q. G. B.)-Chairman
Porter of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee of the House intends reopen
ing the hearings on the Zionist
Resolution to give opponents anoth-
er opportunity to be heard, it is
learned.
Friends of the Zionist Resolution
are understood to be ready to siren
uously oppose further hearings, be-
lieving that the testimony is already
voluminous. They will insist that
action by the Committee on the Reso-
luton be no longer delayed.
The fact that the record of the
previous hearings remains imprinted
may prevent immediate action on the
Resolution. These minutes were
sent to Chairman Porter, who has
been in Pittsburgh in connection
with the primaries, delaying their
printing by subcommittee headed
by Representative Hamilton Fish

IN Palestine VINO promised Sucn sup
port to Great Britain in the name of
the Jewish people. The Jewish Con-
gress must seek the support of Unit
ed Jewry. We have gotten the sup
port of the civilized governments of
the world. We have still to get the
support of the Union of Israel"
Resolutions Adopted
The Congress resolved to hold ses
sions annually, to elect delegates by
the universal democratic method of
election, or by local convention, the
delegates to hold office two years.
It went on record as favoring free and
unrestricted immigration of Jews into
Palestine, and also to call upon the
authorities in Palestine to bring about
amicable relations with the Arab pop
ulace. Greetings were extended to
the High Commissioner and to the
Palestinian national assembly. Gen
erous support for the Keren Hayesod
and for all Jewish public agencies,
aiming at the upbuilding of Palestine
was solicited. The Congress voted
for the calling of Jewish World
Congress cooperating with similar
Jewish Congresses in other parts of
the world for that purpose. Resolu-
tions of protest against the Lithuan-
ian violations of the Jewish rights
and the wholesale destruction of
Jewish communities by the officials
of Soviet Russia were adopted.
Interesting was the resolution call
ing for the appointment of a commit
tee of nine to bring about harmonious
relationship between the Zionist fac
tions in America, and to heal the
breach between the Brandeis-Mack
group and the z. o. A. Resolutions
thanking Senator Lodge and Con-
gressman Fish for their work in be-
half of the Palestinian resolutions
were adopted. The question of immi
grafton was taken up and it was de-
cided to appoint a committee which
shall seek to have the present Amer
ican Immigration laws amended SO as
to admit Jews fleeing from religious
persecution.
Funds Subscribed
Fifty thousand dollars was fixed as
the annual budget for the Congress,
and an appeal by Hon. joseph Baron
dess brought $4,000 in pledges.
The following officers were elected:
President, Nathan Straus; vice presi-
dents, Aaron J. Levy, Samuel Inter
myer, and DR.. Stephen S. Wise; sec
retary. Bernard G.. Richards; treas
urer, George Fox: and an executive
of seventv-one with DIR. Stephen S.
Wise as chairman.

Philadelphia, May pa notable
gathering of men and women working
earnestly for the protection of Jew
ish rights was the American Jewish
Congress that met. in Philadelphia
Sunday and Monday, May 21 and %.
Some inspiring messages were deliv-
cred by Nathan straus, Samuel I'm
termyer and DR.. Stephen S. Wise.
DR.. Wise sounded the keynote Of the
Congress. He told why democratic
Jewish congress was needed.
DIR. Wise's Address
"The Jewish people have trusted
self-appointed leaders in the past and
were now determined to trust them
selves alone. The American Jewish
Congress is for the relief of Jews in
need and for the honor of Jews in
deed. Distribution committees were
needed as war and postwar instru-
mentalities, but the American Jew
>ish Congress aims at the consecra-
tion of collective Israel's common
tasks, and to become an abiding
agency of American Israel until the
last of the shadows of injustice to
Israel fly away. We must always be
on guard against the evil forces which
are plotting to harm our brethren
here and abroad. The Congress will
concern itself with every question of
interest to Jews and will be COM
mon meeting ground for every Jew
Zionistic, be it orthodox or reformed.
All Jews must help solve Jewish
problems.
"Two groups of Jews have chosen to
stay outside of the Jewish Congress.
There are those who deem themselves
too good to be bracketed with any
other Jews, and there are those who
think ordinary Jews not good enough
and too inferior to take counsel with
them. The first place themselves be-
yond and outside all Jewry. Israel
has no place for the man who forsakes
his brethren because he has forfeited
his self-respect and forsworn his own
soul. The American Jewish Congress
is content to do without those who
are less than Jews or who deem other
Jews as less than themselves, but
most earnestly it summons to coun-
sci and comradeship those Jews who
are faithful and consecrated, and yet
have failed up to this time to see that
in this land of all lands it is the
bounden duty of Jews to order their
affairs in truly democratic fashion.
"This is no place for Jewish parti-
sanship and sectarianism. Israel is
wide and catholic enough to welcome
within it's council all Jews who bear
their name with pride and their bur
dens with dignity. We are not part

the President who appointed Mr..

The fact that Mr.. Tumulty got
away with it ought to make him
deeply sympathetic with a man who
couldn't get away with it, The only
difference was in the Administra-

tolerated without question. Not
till Mr.. Tumulty wrote book about
him.. after hts retirement from of
hce, did Mr.. Wilson grow cold to-
ward his 'overzealous supporter.

about an administration which Will
