Their confidence is shown by their boldness in using the battle cry, "A strong Prussia under the Hohenzollei;ns." Their banner is the Prussian black eagle.

The so-called Nationalist Party, representing the junkers, and the People's Party, representing the great industrialists, have begun a vigorous campaign, with proclamations eulogising Prussia's old place in the German Empire and the virtues of the Hohenzollerns. The Nationalist's manifesto says: "This day decides whether the work of the great Hohenzollerns and Bismarck shall be ruined, or whether Prussia will regain the old path to greatness and glory. Nationalists everywhere in Germany are looking to Prussia to free them from French insolence and British malice and to enable the German colours to wave proudly again over the world seas."
