Povtiahed 7 France Shall the President Be Punished for His Americanism? While it is undoubtedly true that thousands of German-Americans will vote for Wilson, there can be no question that they are a small minority of the total German- American voters, the great majority of whom will vote for Hughes. It is equally true that this German-American vote will go to Hughes because to put an embargo on and because he forced Germany, by the threat to sever diplomatic duct submarine warfare in conformity with international law.

The whole history of American politics fails to disclose a situation which parallels If the professional German-Americans and their co-conspirators, the leaders of the Hughes campaign, including the “hundred per cent candidate” himself, succeed in defeating the president on this issue (Hughes’ chief reliance is on the German- American vote), it will be proof indeed of the ingratitude of republics. i If the Wilson record as president had been merely one of mediocrity instead of one of splendid achievement, his re-election would be a matter of national duty, in the face of the treasonable efforts of a class of citizens to drive him from office because he has refused to let the German kaiser dictate American poli It is unthinkable that the voters of this nation who put the interest of Germany, or any other foreign country, ahead of the interests of America, are in the majority.
