...That he was elected," continued Mr. Holt, "does not in any way imply that the majority of the people reject the league. It was simply because he was the candidate of the Republican party at a time when it was impossible for the Republican party not to win.

George Sylvester Vireck, of the Committee, said he was prepared to suggest "Cabinet-sized German Americans," if he were asked to do so.
