STOP KNOCKING, SAYS
SENATOR LEWIS AT
NEW ENGLAND FEAST
Blames the Fault-fnding Amer
leans for Disloyalty of the
Citizens of Foreign
Birth
URGES ALL MEN TO VOTE
Excerpts From Speeches
at New England Dinner
SENATOR LEWIS

Foreigners who have obtained
shelter here and have prospered
would never have dared to criticise
our laws and institutions had they
not felt at liberty to do so because
of the liberty we granted them.
In the last 20 years the new born
American and the foreign Ameri-
can have known nothing Of America
except that it was a place where all
other Americans certified there
were no men of honor, no things of
decency, no institution in which any
man could have a purpose except to
overthrow as being unworthy.
We should promptly establish by
law that the right of citizens to
participate in elections is duty.
That the failure Of the citizen to
perform his duty at the ballot box
consecutively for certain length
of time should be punished by hav-
ing the right of suffrage withdrawn
from him.
There should be added to these
the further laws, enforcing upon
all who have enjoyed the benefits
of naturalization the duty to COM
ply with citizenship as loyal Amer
leans, and prescribing that any
citizen whose conduct is such as
to be unworthy of citizenship
should have the citizenship with
drawn by the courts.
