HUGHES IS PARTY TO VILE 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 iui conformity with international law, is the most vii- American thing that ever has occurred in a president tial campaign. Wo use the word conspiracy advisedly. What oth- er Interpretation < ism be put upon the attitude <>4 Hughes, who, knowing or the activities of: these pro- fessional German-Americans, that their declare<J purpose is to discipline the president of the United States, by his silence consents to he the beneficiary!. The "hundred percent candidate" may talk ahout' "undiluted Americanism" until ho is black in the face. Such expressions are meaningless. But his attitude toward the German-American anti-Wilson propaganda is full of meaning. It is the altitude of a man who is so obsessed witii the 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 of the interests of the United Stales. What other meaning can bo read into the bittwf Fight 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 in his 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 and made Hughes the candidate. If Hughes should he elected it will he this infill* ence that will have 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 the American people disapprove of the firm stand taken by 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 President Wilson's ultimatum. Let the German-Americans defeat Wilson on this issue 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 ANY MAN WHO IS A PARTY TO IT, AS HUGHES IS, IS UNFIT TO BE PRESIDENT. WILSON WAVE SWEEPING GRAYS HARBOR COUNTRY The Grays Harbor country, tra- ditionally a republican strong- hold, is being swept by a Wilson wave. This is the report brought back to Tacoma by James D. Smyths, engineer, and secretary of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi- neers In Tacoma, after a week's visit in cities and towns of >.h« district. "Everywhere I went," he said Tuesday, "I met old-time repub- licans who are out-and-out for Wilson. "In the business section of Aberdeen I could find only one Hughes campaign picture, while pictures 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 132 were members of the Wilson In- dependent league. "Traveling men and other pas- sengers on the trains were nearly all talking Wilson. On one train a straw vote was taken with this result: "Wilson, 116; Hughes, 14; Bention, '1; Hauler, 3." Smythe said that the railway trainmen in Tacoma and through- out ilin state are solid for th«j president. "Better Uian 99 per cent of to* men In Tacoma are going to voUl for Wilson," he declared.
