SKNV \KP, VLASKA, WEDNESDAY Jl NE 1916. j
Unquestionably Wilson will be nominated by Hie con
vention which began today in St. Louis and the big tight
will be between him and Hughes. Much depends on wheth
er the Progressives will run a candidate or not hut other
wise Hughes is probably the strongest candidate the Ke
publieans could have put forward at the present time, andl
he is the strongest candidate because of facts connected,,
not with internal affairs, hut with questions relating to,
the European war. As a matter of fact the slogan of
Hughes which was told in the cables of yesterday, “Until-,
luted Americanism." has been specially invented without
the shadow of a doubt after careful thought as to the best
manner by which to keep people of all opinions on the war
in line. The pro-Germans have come out openly in favor,
of Hughes. The Fatherland, a paper with probably great
er influence today amongst a great number of people,
than any other paper in the United States, has declared;
for Hughes, did so before his nomination and did so in be
half of German Americans who. they claim, have two mil
lion votes or more. Under ordinary circumstances no na
tional party would have accepted the word "undiluted;
Americanism" as a campaign slogan. Such a motto w ould
have been regarded as unnecessary if not approaching j
spread eagleism, and its very choice really throws a light
on undercurrents that are new and are apparently regard
ed as important.
So. probably, the coming presidential eiecuon
have its results depending upon the opinions in relation
to the European war. Hughes will have the regular Re
publican vote and he will probably have the pro-German
vote solid, whether Republican or Democrat, but, on the
other hand, the more intense pro-allies may decide that
if Hughes is regarded as a friend of the Germans they will
be compelled by their convictions to vote for \\ ilson.
Roosevelt could never hove hoped for the vote of one pro
German.
Another fact which bears out the belief that this ques
tion is regarded as important in the coming election is
that President Wilson has been quoted as saying that
after the nominations he will make a move towards bring
ing about peace in Europe.
All this may seem to be a question foreign to the
politics of the United States, but it is not. There is no
country on earth worth while today whose internal poli
tics are not affected by the supreme struggle, and there is
no country with soul so dead as to refuse to be agitated
by it. It is merely the substitution of an international
question for a local issue, and it makes men no worse
Americans to be interested in universal affairs. It may,
however, make them less provincial.
