for Woodrow Wilson President Of the United States
The following quotation taken his History of the
American People," constitutes an insult to all those
who have to America from those parts of the
world:

The unlikely fellows who came in AT the Eastern ports
tolerated because they usurped no place but the
very lowest In the scale Of labor"
Nor is the insult thus gratuitously inflicted upon
those who came from Hungary Poland Italy and other
places to America better their condition confined TO
those directly assailed in that paragraph It extends
to their children and their chldrens children Not
one them can those words which dropped from
the pen Of man who is the Democratic candidate
for President without feeling flush Of indignation.
The thought that Woodrow Wilson placed their parents
on lower plane than the Chinese, and that he now
asks them to join in eevatng him to the highest office

There is another covert fling at the men, women ana
