Famous Letter Acknowledging Republican Regime First Step in Campaign RT S. D. VEYER. 3 TTTkrr CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE! I betjTJN. Feb. 27 A campaign to ,ut the leader's eldest eon. the certeaa (vcrovn prince, up as a candi$at for th presidency of the German mplr. In the forthcoming general Election 1 Quietly being launched to day by Ws friends and adherents throughout the -whole country. Only now ha it become apparent fthit publication of the letter sent ny th former crown prince to Professor Zora. "h! old teacher. recognUlng the republican regime as the fatherland's legally constituted form of government was the opening gun. ,.r vi.if not expected to announce that "his had is In the ring," but the International News Service is able to state after talk with his most Intimate friends and advisers that the former imperial heir will wholeheartedly respond when the call comes from a substantial number of leaders of the various political parties. The entrance of the former crown iriuce into the arena of active politics undoubtedly would call forth bitter denunciations from members ef the proposed revolutionary party, the communists and socialists. However, the new constitution adopted at Weimar after the revolution of 191S declares that any citizen of the empire abovo the age of 33. including imperial princes, are eligible to step into President Kbert's shoes. A majority of the n-rrown prince's friends who are launching the boom, a well as most of those whom he may enlist later on hope for the ultimate return of the monrachy, but a process peaceful evolution. The prince himself stated in his nowfamous letter that he still believes a monarchy "does more for the people," but at the same time he unequivocally et himself against all .thoughts of, the overthrow of the republican regime through a coup de-etat-It was' significant that at the time the letter was published and since then practically all tho Berlin newstapers except the organs of the socialists and communlts referred to Wilhelm as the "crown prince," not as former heir to the throne. Strangely enough the letter alienated the sympathy of many of the rabid monarchists and reactionaries while enlisting the support of members of ether political groups because of Wilj helm's "game resignation to fate.'' ( A Oerman president upon assuming j office, must swear that he will guard I "the constitution and the laws of the state. However, he can be Impeached and deposed by tho rcichstag if he proves delinquent. The prince Is not affiliated with any particular political party, nor does he appear to be desirous of Joining any.
