TOO BAD TITI'S SO. pyor Quigley, cal gathertng in Ihesday night, according to a ol City newspaper report, sald: Democratic issues involved in campaign are false issues created | poelve the American voters. Such pthod of political campaigning is air, and, above all, it is not truly | imertcan methad. You gentlemen psent the German-Americans and patriotism has been questioned. man or party which raises this n issue is not patriotic. We are posite natton, and must be d. ¥Yet tt is the purpose of a lin party tn this country, and T not name that party, to dissolve union.” ere are many fallacles in the pr's argument. To begin with, no fhas accused the German Ameri- beople of being disloyal. This has so often pointed out'as to need arther mention. There {8 no Ing that a German propaganda started in this country and many sstonal German-Americans were ged into it. Surely it was not the peratic party that set this thing jotton. Its beginnings are easily d.

The Mayor remem- kers that far back. Now he says the Democratic party started this issue, and that the man or party that raises such an issue is not patriotic, This question of dual allegiance | should never have been made an issue in this campaign, and it would never | bave become such had it not been for the European war. Then some men, but not all, lined up with the various telligerents, one way or another, lost sight of their pledges to the United | States and became solely interested in the welfare of their old homes across the sea. When America was forced ta uphold its rights as a neutral, to de- mand that its citizens be allowed to traverse the high seas, and that ships be not sunk in violation of interna- tional law, the storm arose. There was no political campaign on then, and no ane even gave a thought to the presidential electlons about to take place now. But the President of the United States was slandered and villified by many of the foreign language newspapers and periodicals, and wherever men gathered there were heated denunciations of the man in the White House. Anyone with an eye could see that dislovalty was being bred and scattered broadcast throughout the land, until it has come down to this campaign and become part and parcel of it. The Democratic party did not breed this issue,—the good German-American citizens of the land did not foist it on their brothers; but the professional propagandists, with headquarters in Berlin did bring it forth, and eventually succeeded in lining their former countrymen in America up in opposition to President ‘Wilson. Now the thing has become an issue, and both of the candidates for the Prestdency recognize it as such. On the night before Mayor Quigley spoke in Hartford, Charles Hvans Hughes addressed a group at Bchuetzen park in New York and made this declaration: “I don't want the support of any one to whom the interest of this netion is not supreme. “As to any person whose allegiance to our flag is not single and complete, who would not instantly champion the rights and interests of our country against any country on earth, who wants impunity for foreign aggression, or who would have the power of this nation held captive to any foreign in- fluence or swerved by alien machina- tions, let him not vote for me.” By those words Mr. Hughes warned of the danger that comes from catering to disloyal voters, to those who cast their votes because of feeling on foreign affalrs. Our domestic poli- tics have nothing to do with what goes on in Burape, and Europe should have nothing to do with what goes on in our politics. Mr., Hughes says he wants the support of no voter to “the interest of this nation 1s He was a long time ‘whom not supreme.” getting around to such a statement, but he eventually arrived, too Ilate, however, to do him overmuch good in the campaign. President Wilson stated his position in no unmistakable terms when he responded: “I would feel deeply mortified to have you or anybody like you vote for me. Since vou have access to many disloyal Americans and I have not, I will ask you to convey this message to them.” No voter can doubt he man who shot that bolt. There was no pussy-foot- ing there. And it was uttered in plenty of time to let the hyphen legions take up the battle agalnst him, which they have. If they defeat Wil- son on November 7 the capital city of Germany will celebrate the greatest | vietory of the year. That is the way they feel about it, and the feeling was ‘first generated when the Presi- dent was forced to make Germany hold her submarine warfare within the limits of international law. Rresl- dent Wilson is denounced for calling | attention to disloval Americans. Mr, | Hughes, after his fling at the same vlthing, is condoned by every foreign language paper in the country. The subjoined is a sample from yester- day's New York Staats-Zeitung: “This declaration should be clear to every one; it includes everything that we German-Americans expect from a President of the United States. And | as Herr Hughes has proved that his | word can be trusted, he deserves the fullest support of the German-Ameri- can electorate.” “Herr” Hughes is the candidate of | the professional German propagan- i’dists, whether he wills it not. | fhey forced his nomination at Chi- cago, and they must stand behind him, even with one member of his | staff, Theodare Roosevelt, flaying the | actions of Germany. It is too bad that all these things have come to pass, but they are here, and they must be recognezed. The man who condoneg such things is the man who is unpa- triotic, and not the man who con- It takes courage to face ( | | or demns them. | the trutn. M-A-W-S-H.

While all the social sessions are going on it is, of course, very difficult to attend to the nation’s business, and this is left to the diligence and care of a few com- mitteemen, and leaders on the floor. There has never been a proper term for these members of Congress until this new adjective comes from the sanctum of the editor of the “Searchlight on Congress.” A mawsh Congressman from now on will be known as a Congressman who “might as well stay home,” the word being made up of the first letters of the words in that phrase, ‘“might as well stay home.” Some of the delegation from Connecticut are highly honored by the National Voters League which in the latest edition of its bulletin affixes the new adjective to their names.

The great area of Russia is in proportion to its population, and there is room for many millions more before the food problem will become at all acute; in addition to which the Czar is credited with definite coloni- zation ambitions in the direction of certain regions in Northern China contiguous to his own Asiatic Russia. One explanation suggested is that the Poles have proved a thorn in the side of the Russian conservatives ever since formation of the Duma, and that it is desired to reduce their relative political power by finding homes for them eclsewhere.
