other men and have the right OF free
speech. This has not been the right
i'm Ireland in years gone by. In Ire
land at the present time we have men
who are lighting for Irish rights,
among them being John Redmond,
who is fearless and who is ready
to sacrifice his life for home rule. and
he is backed up by men who are VIII

This meeting sh1ild be an insPira-
tion for YOU 10 go and let u be known
that the Irish nation desires something
10 be done for home rule. and let IL be
known that we are united and patriotic
people Irishmen are always In the fore

Hon Hugh J. Carroll was the next
speaker and he said I'm part: Allan Lar
kin and OBrien, the Machester mar
tyrs, were the last men executed pub
licly for political reasons. England at
the time tried TO create the impression
that they were executed for a vulgar
murder. but the world knows that they
were executed for political reasons The
men, after endeavoring 20 perform
political act by releasing men in the
Fenian movement. found that their
plans had miscarried.
zone OF the men thought that by firing
and breaking the lock on the convey
ance he would secure the escape Of the
prisoners. and on firing the shot the bull
let struck a policeman and killed him.
At the most the only case against him
would have been manslaughter. These
men were not guilty, but were only
among men who were at the affair. They
were executed for the purpose OF striking
terror in the Irish people and We're pun
ished as examples
IF the Irish people were strong
enough at that time 10 meet the Eng
lish face to face on the field, the Irish
would have only thought Of repriSals
Since that time. however, the Irish have
calmed and the English have been ed
ucated We know how England has
treated the Irish, but later we know
they have been forced to treat the Irish
different
AT one time England said that the
Irish were leaving Ireland with venge-
ance. meaning that they were departing
I'm large numbers, but they forgot 10 add
that they We're leaving with vengeance
i'm their hearts against England. After
the War Of Secession, when the Irish
had shown the United States that they
were loyal citizens, we got the ear OF this
country and the ear OF the world Now
we have reason TO believe that the house
of lords will vote for the act Of home
rule at the next session of parliament.
The house Of lords is I'm danger and is In
a position not liked by the English peo-
pie"
