" ATIYEHBR0S. ' Alder at Tenth Tnm the Utsiarr XHsest) Whether a brasen attempt by pro- Oerman forces to domjpate American pontics, as its critics warn as, or a movement actuated by purely Amer ican considerations and Ideals, as Its friends insist, the attempt of the . Oerman-American Citisens league to organise German-American voters to prevent the election of Governor Cox to the presidency la arousing lively Interest in both camps, The hyphen, that detestable phenomenon of Amer ican society, la again lifting its hydra-headed hldeousneee and dis charging! Its ttnom," exclaims the Louisville Courier-Journal (Dera.). There Is evidence ef a strong and . highly organized pro-Oerman movc. ment In favor of the election of Senator. Harding," declares the In dianapolis News (Ind.). At the same time Mr. George Sylvester Vlereck, editor of the late fatherland, and , now of The American Monthly, tele graphs Senator Hardin that "the attempt of the Democratic press to link the opposition of Amerioana of '. Oerman descent to the League of Nations and their support of your candidacy with German propoganda Is wholly preposterous." Aad Sen ator Harding, in a statement which the " DemocratM .New York Times concedes to We "proper enough so tar as It goes," warn these Oerman Amerlcan supporters that they must not think of hint as favoring any class or race among our citizens. It will be recalled that tn August a "German-American national con ference" was held In Chicago by the German-American Citisens league "whose purposes. according to a correspondent of .the Milwaukee Journal (Ind.), "are Identical wit those of the defunct Garmaa-Amer-1 loan alliance ihe Committee of i Ninety-six, and other . Qerman Amerlcan organisations." This con ference, with Mr. Vlereck on Its resolutions committee, adopted reso lutions which read in part aa fol lows: "We regard die platforms of both major parties at unsatisfactory; we appreciate the position of those who desire to . register their protest by voting for one of the minor parties ; but we hesitate to recommend any such step which may perpetuate a proxy of Great Britain in the White House, and thus, apparently, set the seal of popular approval upon the most humiliating and unAmerloan administration in the history of our country. "In view, of certain enlightened statements in Senator Warren G. Hard Ins" s speech of acceptance and in his subsequent utterances, express ing his unalterable opposition to the League of Nations and the perfidious foreign policy of the present ad ministration, we shall, unless unex pected events transpire, regard it as our duty to support the Repub lican candidate; we trust, however, that Mr..Hadlttff will express him self In unequivocal terms on other subjects involving the honor of oar country, such as , the pernicious peace pacts of Versailles and St. Germain, which turned the 14 pledges, so solemnly enunciated by the president; of the United States, into 14 scraps of paper." Interpreting thsss revolution In tltej columns of his owa magazine, Mr. Vlereck says: "The Democratic candidate Is im possible. He Is the candidate of Woodrow Wilson and the League of Damnattana, "The Republican candidate Is dis tinctly the lesser of two evils. His speech ot acceptance is not without merit. "Whenever possibility of there is the slightest I electing- Cox, we urgs-; our readers to vote for Harding. To elect Cos Is to indorse wooarow . WUson. i "To elect Cox is to reward a man who flattered the Germans before the war and revealed his true lingo face only after he could intuit the Ger man element wtrh Impunity. "To repeat:! Wherever by any pos sibility Wilson's man Cox could carry a state or a district, let all those who believe in American tradi tions Vote foil the Republican candi j date. . Ferdinand iWalther, president of the German-American Citisens league, is Quoted in the Milwaukee Journal as affirming emphatically I that its members are Americans .. united in the Interest of the United States, ' "We intend," he declares, no devote ourselves to this coun try's .problem and to try to keep this country! from mixing in the affairs of EM rope. The German pro-Harding and anti-Cox campaign is In full swing.' eltung; aad a Washington dispatch to the Brooklyn Cltiien (Dem.) saya' that our German language papers "frankly declare . that they are for Harding because he is opposed to ratification of the treaty and In favor of a separate ,peace with Germany." The New Yorker Staats Zeltung argues that the Cox-Wil-" son policy would force the United States into war with Russia. In another editorial we read: "Senator Harding hae declared: 1 can only say that our entire for eign policy will be completely chans-ed 'if the Republicans . come into power.' This would be a 'consummation devoutly to be wished.' Things can not be worse;, they can only change for the better."
