We believe the patriotism of our native citizens
% be sufficient for the emergency, and to that we
confidently make an appeal.
We believe in the general registry Of legal voters,
'equiringa registration Of all foreigners coming
iither to reside, in conformity with the Act Of Con-
3ress Of 1902, under President Jefferson, in re-
'tricting such registration and all subsequent ma
uralization TO the United States Courts; and in
my and all legal and just means that may assert
md maintain the purity Of the elective franchise.
We believe It TO be our duty rs patriots and as
nen, TO take high moral ground on all subjects;
o grapple with principles Of right, Of truth, Of
Justice, without regard TO questions Of mere avail
bility, and 10 contend for them fearessly, against
III powers, and may God help the right
We belisse that in matters of national policy,
where different interests honestly conflict onDoste
