German American voters split over Roosevelt Root stance
Officials of the German American Newspapers Association delivered to Chicago Republican leaders a ultimatum saying German Americans will not support Roosevelt or Root if nominated. Leaders like Alphonse Koelble and William Lustgarten criticized the move while urging a pro American candidate in line with German born citizens. They favored Hughes Borah Burton or Fairbanks over pro British or pro German options and defended Wilson as neutral but biased toward England.
