Indirection. Oiinpnrkac'e
proves it. UfjOiitall ilrui-ild.
EKM AN-AM KIMOAN orain'stations and the German
press in tho United States arc engaged in another
German drive this time against President AVilson, be
cause lie has not allowed lierlin to dictate his foreign pol
icies. The 'German-American Alliance boasts that its influ
ence nominated Hughes, and in the recent New York prim
aries defeated Bacon lor senator. The New York German
press boasts that the German influence dictated the repub
iictin nominees.
A ilson s crime in the German-American view, consists
in having forced the cessation of the German practice of
sinking by submarines unarmed ocean liners without
warning; of maintaining American rights by refusing to
permit congress to order American citizens off passenger
ships of belligerents; and of eoniplyincr with the accented
principle of international law in refusing to place an ein-
nargo upon munitions. Jle is also censored for haviiitr

oroKcu up me uerman pints against American industries,
At the same tunc, Pierpont Morgan, the American
over-lord of British and allied interests in hc United
States, the Navy League and various other organizations
strongly pro-ally in sentiment, are conducting a drive
against the president for not declaring war against Ger
many over the violation of Belgian neutrality and the sink-
nig ot uie ijusuania.
Theodore Eoosevclt and other pro-ally Orators are
stumping Hie country lor Hughes, accusing the president
ol cowardice lor resorting to diplomacy rather than force
to settle the quarrel with Germany-aiid 'condemning the
president's peace policy. ' '
The reprisal measures passed bv congress and being cn-

iujccu agitniHi uic JJiinsn intcrierence wan American
mails and American trade also cause a hysterical outburst
among tiie allies' sympathizers against the president.
No higher tribute could be paid the president's policy
of neutrality than to be condemned by both belligerents,
No better proof could be offered of his neutrality.
The president's policy has been in the interest of the
united states and in the interest of humanity, not in the
interest of any belligerent.
AVith the sympathizers of all belligerents actively cam
paigning against the president because of his American
policy, it is up to true Americans to rallv to the Hinmm-r
of AVoodrow AVilson.'
Similar to the hyphen issue is the religions issue in
jected into the campaign.
The anti-Catholic papers and A. P. A. organs like the
Menace" and "Yellow Jacket" have for months assailed
the president because his private secretary. Mr. Tuiimltv.
happened to be a Catholic in religion. The abuse has been
unremitting and constant and it was declared that Rome
ruled the administration.
'During this period the Catholic press has also lied) as
sailing the president because war was not declared upon
iwi-Aicu i.o avenge tne loss oi ciiiircli property during the
revolution, these papers have been full of exaffi-erated
outrages none of them concerning American citizens, and
tne president nas iieeu severely grilled.
Some months ago Judge Jlunly at Portland presided at
a meeting of Catholics, which passed resolutions censur
ing the administration. Francis Kelly, the noted Catholic
educator, has toured the country, condemning Mr. AVilson.
J he National Catholic Turn Verein last mouth denounced
the president openly.
,
Nothing has becli lacking in the campaitrn of both
Catholic and anti-Catholic bigots to stir up religious fan
aticism and hatred against the president which is proof
that the president has followed American ideals of relig
ious Irccdiim.

buy where their dollars will buy them the most. This
