Must Have Forgotten
About American Principles.

Is he the determiner of
whether the people of New Jer-
sey and of Hudson County will
treat a man representing such
a cause as l do as courteously
as one representing the New
Deal? How did this fellow get
that way? He must have for
gotten all about American prin-
ciples.
Why shouldn't I come into
Jersey City, and why shouldn't
people listen to me courteously
but for two reasons? They are
that for seven and a half years
We have had preached to our
people the doctrine of bitterness
from the very highest of places;
and, secondly, men like this
"puny Hitler" here have at
tempted to dominate and control
our political life and say who
shall and who shall not speak,
and who shall and who shall not
be received courteously in the
great State of New Jersey. Such
actions disclose subconsciously
what they really think and what
they really stand for.
Here is an administration that
has been going about proclaim
ing itself as the friend of the
common people, as the friend of
morality in American public life,
as representing a so-called New
Deal. Yet it perpetuates itself
in power, or seeks to perpetuate
itself in power, with a combina-
ton of the greatest bunch Of
corruptionists and racketeers that
ever existed in America.

Liberties Will Die Nationally II
Killed PiecemeaI in Communities.

I call upon you in the interest
of the cause that we represent to
bring civil liberties to their full
functioning in Jersey City. If we
do that, and the people do that
in every community in the coun-
try. those great, previous rights
will remain. But if We clip them
off piece by piece in the different
communities. they will die ma
tionally.
I expect to speak tonight over
the radio. I am also going to talk
from time to time over the radio.
I want you to listen to what I
have to say AMI I want you to
read what 1 have to say in the
newspapers. Likewise, I want
you to listen to and read what
the opposition says. Then, as
thoughtful Americans and pray
erful Americans in the most i'm
portant election that Americans
have ever engaged in. go to the
polls and cast your votes.
I come representing the cause
of the Republican party in this
campaign of 1910. The Repub-
lican party offers you program
of starting the wheels of Amer
lean industry and business going,
SO that men can get back to jobs
instead of staying on relief. 1t
promises, however, that. until
they are provided with jobs, re-
lief will be provided for them.

The Republican party offers to
you in place of the present in

petent, vigorous building of
defense SO that no dictator, no
matter how strong, may seek to
strike us.

you a program of national unity.
where class distinctions and bit
ternesses and hatreds will dis
appear from American life and
all of us will join together In
preserving this precious democ-
racy Of ours.
Now, no man can accomplish
those things alone, and want
to speak as vigorously and as
firmly and as earnestly as I know
how in behalf Of the reelection
of Senator Barbour to the United
States Senate, where he has
served SO ably.
And I urge upon you the send
ing Of Mr.. Cuddy to Congress
from this district.
And then, in order to clean up
this State, to bring civil liber-
ties back to it, and to end cor
ruption and boss control, I pray
with you to elect my very dear
friend. Bob Hendrickson, to the
governorship.
I call upon all of you New
Jersey people. You all love this
country; you love it much more
than you love any political boss:
you love it much more than any
corruption; you love it much
more than any control of your
citizenry, because, after all,
democracy has been passing out
everywhere in this world This
is the last untouched great
democracy in all this world. We
cannot continue to go down the
road of bankruptcy, of economic
depression and disunity. We must
save the country. I call upon
you as missionaries in the cause
of saving America.
Thank you very much.

national policy and the admins
tration of law in this countryl
Now, l want to make a very
earnest appeal to you people here
in Jersey City. You know, the
most precious thing in all Amer
lea is our civil liberties. When
ever civil liberties begin to dis
appear, then dictatorship and
autocracy begin to take the place
Of democracy. That has been
true in every country in Europe.
Whenever we begin to abridge
the rights of each man to wor-
ship God as he pleases or to
express himself as he will, or
whenever we infringe upon the
right of public discussion or we
bar any of our citizenry from
aspiring to the highest public
position because of any preju-
dice or because of their race, re-
ligion, creed or color, then we
start down the road to dicta-
torship.
I want to urge upon you people
of Jersey City that you cannot
be for civil liberties occasionally,
you cannot adopt civil liberties
as an abstract principle and have
the right of civil liberties remain
strong in this country. Every
man in every precinct, every
town, every city, every township
and every county in the United
States must fight vigilantly for
the preservation of civil liberties
in his own individual community
in order to assure their strength
in the entire country.
Here you live in great city,
where, under the rule. as I say,
of this puny Hitler the tax rate
has risen to the highest of any
major city in the United States.
Meanwhile, this fellow sits and
says that this man shall come to
speak and that man shall not;
that this person shall be treated
courteously and the other one
diScourteously, and that this one
shall get police protection and
this one shall not.

Text of Wilkes Speech
In Jersey City Yesterday

JERSEY CITY. N. j.. Oct. 8
R.-The tollo,Oing is the tert OF
a talk delivered by Wendell
WAlkie in Jersey City yesterday:
Mr.. Chairman and people OF
Jersey City:
After I came across the ferry
into New Jersey this morning.
one of the things that struck me
as l was driven up the streets
of Hoboken was the fact that
every vacant store window had
pictures of my opponent and his
associates on the New Deal ticket
pasted in it. don't know of any
more appropriate place to puy
those pictures. I never saw a
more perfect symbol of the real
purpose and the real accomplish
ments of this administration
than that they should have their
pictures i'll empty stores.
l read with a great deal OF
interest that the man who says:
Il am the law" in Jersey City
announced in the public press
that I would get police protec-
ton in Jersey City and that l
should be treated with courtesy.
There is an interesting philo-
Sophy expressed in that remark,
if you will just think about it.
Here 1 am, irrespective OF any
personal merit, a candidate OF
one of the two major parties for
President of the United States,
representing millions and mil
lions of voters and advocating
the cause of those millions, yet
the Mayor here, the law Of this
city and one of the true repre-
sentatives of the opposition
vice chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, principal
promoter of the third term draft,
if such it be-haS so lost his
sense of balance, of the realities
and purposes of American life
that he says, as the ruler of this
city, I shall get police protection.
Evening star., 1940-10-08

nominated men who will fight for
the people with everything they
have to give. Get behind your
candidate for the Senate, w.
Warren Barbour. Get behind
your candidate for Governor,
Senator Robert c. Hendrickson.
These men stand for more than
good government. They stand
for your power, the power of the
people.
Cannot Fight Corruption
BY Voting for Hague.
You cannot win this fight
against ballot corruption by sup
porting the candidates sponsored
by Hague. If he regarded them
as q threat he would not be sup
porting them.
The Republican party is not
afraid of the ballot. Our party
is urging all of you to register
so that you may vote.
This year at Philadelphia we
held a free convention. We now
want to hear from the American
people in a free election.
I made no deals at that con-
vention. And neither I nor the
party will enter into any deals
We say, come out and vote as
free men. Vote against us If you
will, but vote the way you want,
and not the way some boss tells
you to vote.
There are millions of us who
stand for the free ballot-Repub-
licans, Democrats and independ-
ents. Our numbers are growing.
We are awake to the greatness
of the cause that we are fight
ing for.
This year we shall seize and
hold the right of self-government.
We say with Abraham Lincoln
that this Nation, under God, shall
have a new birth of freedom.
1t shall not pass into the hands
Of the INSCRIPTIONS. 1t shall not
surrender to ambitious men the
precious rights of us who live
in it. This is our country-the
peoples country. We love it. We
want it. And we intend to keep
it for ourselves.

JERSEY CITY, N. j.. Oct. 8
R).-The tollo,Oing is the tert OF
a talk delivered by Wendell
WAlkie in Jersey City yesterday:
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1940-09-27

National Jewish Monthly.
The author is DR.. Josef Dunner,
former German author and journa-
list, who is now a writer and lee
turer in this country. He himself
lives in Pennsylvania county that
is thickly populated with German
Americans, and he has obtained
first-hand evidence of the black
mail among his neighbors as well
as on his coast-to-coast speaking
tours.
'Bund members are cOercing
hundreds of thousands of German
Americans by threats" he writes.
"They ring a Germans dOOrbell,
sell him nazi literature, force him
to join the Bund, attend meetings.
If they are met with a refusal,
they say: IF you do not become
a member of the Bund or one of
its sub-OrganiZatiOns, we will out
law your relatives i'm Germany,
and boycott you here. We have
come to power almost all over Eu-
rope. We will come to power here,
too. If you do not join us in time,
we will eventually throw you into
a concentration camp right herew
Most German Americans have
relatives or close personal friends
in Germany, and the nazi Propa-
ganda Department in Germany
supplies its American agents with
lists of such people. The Bund
hopes eventually to convert" 1O,-
100000 German Americans to ma
zism through these methods, ac-
cording to DR.. Dunner.
"MOst Americans of German or
igin," he writes, "wOuld like to be
as loyal to the American flag as
those of other groups. But they
are under constant pressure and
