The author of this statement is the ltev. W. Ileincko, who for years was pastor of St. John's Lutheran church in this city, and who now is in busi ness in New York City. The Ilev.

Naturally we identified his actions with those of the pro-llrilisli press, every utter ance of which appeared to the (Icr-inan-American element to reflect the luiud of our government. "Republican party interests have not been slow to make enpitul out of this state of affairs mid to work the German-American vote for nil it is worth, assisted by the (lerinaii lau ununc press. n the heat of the con troversy we overlooked entirely thai the republican party, if it had boon in power, and onnlninini; tho most pronounced niiti-Gcriniin element of America, ot the typo ot Cabot Loupe, Klilm Hoot and Hubert Bacon, prob ably already would have nnr country driven into iin alliance with ICnuland and into war with Germany.

Ill order to hear a discussion of the campaign it is us ually necessary to introduce the sub ,jeot. lie takes this lack of interest to indicate that sentiment i largely supply and there is almost no money for advertising. 1 lie same story is told in Wilson league (pinrlers. Commenting on the number of re publicans in this nud other sections who have declared their intention of voting for 31 r. Wilson, Mr. Ilorden said : "Republicans all over the case and middle west will vote for Wilson. On the trains, in bedels and in various uti- public places I sounded uinnv men who are registered as republicans. Very ninny of them, I found, while in favor of republican principles, still believed that in tho present crisis a change of executive is not advisable. My inquiries addressed to republicans were met with sueh replies as: 'Wilson is the only man to handle the present situation,' and 'I cannot support Hughes, a man without an issue.' The women, I found, are generally satis fied with Wilson's conduct of affairs, and particularly with bis peace pol icy. They, too, have no desire for n change in administration. ITogressive Attitudes "1 also talked with a number of progressives, continued .Mr. ilorden nud found that the sentiment auioug them may be expressed in the words of one of them, who said: 'Teddy sold us out.' He is now supporting Hughes. We are supporting Wilson, as we are convinced that he will come nearer to carrying out tho aims of the progressive party. "Kaeh day from now until election time,'' concluded Mr. Ilorden, "will see an increased number of Wilson advocates and a H'orresoiiding de crease ill the ranks of Hughes sup porters. A veritable landslide of sen timent toward Wilson is gathering force throughout the country."

"I fear when the game is up, Gor man voters will regret to sec that they have been 'sold.'

Mr. Ilorden traveled on twelve dif ferent railroad lines during his trip and everywhere found Ihe railroad vole strongly in favor of Wilson. A wonderful business boom is in progress through the east and middle west, Mr. Ilorden stated, and this boom cannot be attributed to the mun itions trade alone. All lines are run ning at full capacity. All varieties of labor, skilled and unskilled, is in demand and wages are high. These laborers, continued Mr. Ilorden, evi dence no desire for a. change Irom their present period of prosperity.

The spirit back of the movement isn't new clothes just for the sake of the clothes, but for the sake of yourself, your family, your business it's what good clothes will do for you. You know from your own experience how fine ii is to look and feel "dressed-up;" it jnakes a better business man of you; it may "puff" you up some all the better; you'll go out and try to live up to your idea of yourself. Every-day wear and tear has the same effect on your spirits that it does on your clothes you get a little frayed; you slow down a little. That's the big reason for having a time like this; it gives you a new energy and confidence thru the medium of good clothes. Now there are all kinds of clothes, but you're interested in the "best," or you ought to be for your own sake, and the best clothes are made by Hart Schaffner & Marx. We sell them. By "best" we don't mean most expensive, but the clothes that give you most for your money. We have them here in the famous Varsity Fifty-Five designs; more conservative models for older men; Varsity Six Hundred overcoats. We also have a wonderful showing of furnishings, shirts, hats everything that a well dressed man needs. Come in and look around anyway; we'll not try to sell you a thing. it the ALWAYS IX KAIJXL'ST hrloMrvj
