HUGHES ISPARTY TOVILE PLOT

The conspiracy between Candidate Hughes and!the professional <iorinan-Ainericans to drive Prett"dent Wilson out of office because lie compelled war*mad Germany to conduct its submarine activities iuiconformity with international law, is the most vii-

American thing that ever has occurred in a presidenttial campaign.

Wo use the word conspiracy advisedly. What oth-er Interpretation < ism be put upon the attitude <>4Hughes, who, knowing or the activities of: these pro-fessional German-Americans, that their declare<Jpurpose is to discipline the president of the UnitedStates, by his silence consents to he the beneficiary!.

The "hundred percent candidate" may talk ahout'"undiluted Americanism" until ho is black in theface. Such expressions are meaningless.

But his attitude toward the German-Americananti-Wilson propaganda is full of meaning.

It is the altitude of a man who is so obsessed witiithe ambition to gain the presidency thai ho is willing,to accept the office at the hands of t liohc who braz-enly put the interests of a foreign nation ahead ofthe interests of the United Stales.

What other meaning can bo read into the bittwfFight which the professional German-Americans ar»i,making against the president?

They do not even try to cover up the motives that!animate them.

Has one of them said that he is against Wilson he*cause he has betrayed America I

No; the president has betrayed Germany in the in-terest of America, therefore, he must be defeated.

Thlk is the president's offense. For this, every]voter with the fraction of a drop of German blood inhis veins is called upon to drive Wilson out of the,presidency and to put Hughes in.

Jt was this influence more than any other that de-feated Koosevelt for the republican nomination andmade Hughes the candidate.

IfHughes should he elected it will he this infill*ence that willhave elected him.

There is no getting away from this fact.It is the big, outstanding fact of the campaign.The election of Hughes, under these circumstances,

would be notice to Germany that the majority of theAmerican people disapprove of the firm stand takenby President Wilson against submarine warfare.

It is not at all unlikely that the final decision by)the (lerman government, as to whether it ahull re-sume unrestricted submarine warfare, has been de-ferred until after the presidential election.

When a vote on this proposition was taken in the'(jcrman reichstag recently, the result was very dosat.

Of course the determining factor was PresidentWilson's ultimatum.

Let the German-Americans defeat Wilson on thisissue as they are frankly trying to do, with the assist-ance of Hughes, and the vote in the reichstag willbo'different.

THE WHOLE SITUATION IS FULL OF DYNA-MITE AND ANYMANWHO IS A PARTY TO IT,AS HUGHES IS, IS UNFIT TO BE PRESIDENT.

WILSON WAVE SWEEPINGGRAYS HARBOR COUNTRY

The Grays Harbor country, tra-ditionally a republican strong-hold, is being swept by a Wilsonwave.

This is the report brought backto Tacoma by James D. Smyths,engineer, and secretary of theBrotherhood of Locomotive Engi-neers In Tacoma, after a week'svisit in cities and towns of >.h«district.

"Everywhere I went," he saidTuesday, "I met old-time repub-licans who are out-and-out forWilson.

"In the business section ofAberdeen I could find only oneHughes campaign picture, whilepictures of President Wilson ap-peared in the dlbplay window* of

'stores and business houses every-where.

"Of the 199 registered voter*In fosmopolls, I found that 132were members of the Wilson In-dependent league.

"Traveling men and other pas-sengers on the trains were nearlyall talking Wilson. On one traina straw vote was taken with thisresult:

"Wilson, 116; Hughes, 14;Bention, '1; Hauler, 3."

Smythe said that the railwaytrainmen in Tacoma and through-out ilin state are solid for th«jpresident.

"Better Uian 99 per cent of to*men In Tacoma are going to voUlfor Wilson," he declared.
