Hyphenates Lay Down Terms To Old Guard
Chicago June 4 Representatives of the German American Alliance and other German propagandists conferred with old guard leaders today and laid down platform terms. They demand no hyphen word and no attack on those who violated it. They would accept a candidate not involved in the hyphen fight and seek a declaration for Americanism without criticizing British mail stoppages or German killings.
