Knight Replies to Charges of Pro Germanism
Charles L. Knight defends his patriotism against a congressional rival in Elyria boldy rebutting pro Germanism accusations. He cites support for his Lusitania stance, criticism of war policy, and personal wartime service including district exemption work, farm aid drives, and his son’s Army service. Knight frames the opponent as demagogic and urges voters to judge by record.
