and they have successfully sub

result that they now feel that they

Mr.. Pike. "If, however, a foreign fleet
were to appear on our coast TOMORROW
excitement would be at fever heat.
Yet the presence of a CRATER like Judge
Smith lin the speakers chair would be
greater menace to our national well
fare than any hostile fleet that would
be likely to come against us. If we
