tion of a statement by a prominent
citizen of (Ionium hirlli in which ho
points out with (treat elennioss and
force how tho republican party, in its
attempt to defeat the re-election of
President Wilson, is baldly usin;; the
(lenuaii-Aiuorioftiis as a catspaw.
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. Mr.
lloinoko, while a resident of Dubuque,

conference, as well as of tho (lenuau

''Now," ho says, "I for one am not

''We misjiidnod President Wilson's
position in this world conflict," says
Mr. Ileineke in beiiinninjc his state
ment, "iiHKiiiiiing it to be pro-Knulish
and . un-American. 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

Through those slates, Mr. Ilorden
said, there is litllc political talk. The
j cniup:ne.u appears to Have snrroci up
ilillle excitement. 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."

Mr. Ilorden traveled on twelve dif

A wonderful business boom is in

boom cannot be attributed to the mun

Have You Caught the Big Idea in this Dress-up Campaign?
WEEK AYi
'OST men have; from Maine to Oregon it's a national success. 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.
