TO the Senate and House of Representatives:

The President speaks in the highest terms
Kinisy. Describing the nature Of The assss-
sination and the motive that inspired il. the
nessage continues:
Motive Of the Assassin.
The blow was aimed not at this Presi-
Sent. but At all Presidents at every symbol of
government The anarchist. and especially
the anarchist In the United States. is merely
one type Of criminal. more dangerous than
depravity In a greater deEree. The man who
advocates anarchy directly or Indirectly. in
any shape or fashion, or the man who apollo
pies for anarchists and their deeds. makes
himself morally accessory to murder before
the fact The anarchist IL q criminal whose
pervsr,ed an instincts s lead him to prefer eonfu

workinsmen r. outrageous in its impudert
country do not AFFORD opportunity to every
honest and Intelligent son OF toll. then the
door OF hope is forever closed against him.

enemy Of system and progress, but the dead
" foe OF liberty. II ever anarchy is triumph

II earnestly recommend to the Con rress
that In the exercise OF its wise discretion Il
should take into consideration the coming

Tossing principles hostile to all government
