VICE PRESIDENT PLEADS
&sF gAeGia -
Would Abolish the Hyphen
and Teach But One Language
In Schools

At the dinner given last evening at
the Marion hotel in honor of Vice
President and Mrs. Marshall, the vice
president remarked that he was once
again glad to visit the city, especially
as at this visit he was the only vice
president in captivity.
As to giving the Oregonians advice.
he felt he was hardly qualified to do
as he understood that the voters of
Oregon had tried about everything new
under the sun in the new laws and he
didn't see where they were especially
in need of any suggestions.
Fifty-five representative citizens sat
down at the informal dinner given last
evening. Postmaster Huckestein pre-
sided, and short address was made by
Senator McNary. Besides the short
talks, the program included selections
by the Hunt orchestra, violin solas by
Viola Vercler Holman and vocal solos
by Mrs. A. y. Rahn and o. B. Gingrich.
Great Crowd Gathers.
Following the banquet the vice pres.
ident was scheduled for a lyceum lee
ture, and great crowd surrounded the
entrance before s 'clock Finally an
nouncement was made that the house
was full and that no more tickets
would be sold, bnt many in the, crowd
remained crowding. around the win
dowS during the address, seeking to
see and hear. But very few tickets
were sold for the balcony, as the man
agement yesterday afternoon learned
that it was not safe until needed re-
pairs can be made, which will be at
once.
Before the introduction of Senator
McNary by Mr.. McCaddam, of the
lyceum bureau, Prof. John Todd gave
one of his fine baritone solos, accom-
panied on the piano by Mrs. Alfred
Schramm, which was heartily ap-
plauded.
Senator McNary and August Hucke-
stein occupied the platform with the
vice president, the former introducing
the speaker in few well chosen
sentences.
Mr.. Marshall was warmly received
and frequent and hearty applause
punctuated his address.
Address at the Armory
Mr.. Marshall's S address, yesterday,
To-day and Tomorrow, - dealt with the
one important topic of the day, the
great war. Speaking from the point
of view of one who has followed at
close range the events that led to the
present crisis the vice president gave
a stirring patriotic review of AmeIt-
ca s participation in the wcrId war.
He spoke not as a democrat but as an
American, "for," he said, "to me
there are no parties now but those who
love the United States and these wig
do not"
The time has now come when a
man who will not melt into loyal
American should be taken out of the
melting pot and sent home,' said Mr..
Marshall % When a naturalized citi-
zen is found making seditious utter
anees against the president and this
country his natulI tlization papers
should be Cancelled and his property
confiscated tc the United States goJ-
ernment. The supreme court of the
United States has said this can be
done and unless sbmdbody inauigur-
ates such course of treatment of dis
loyal naturalized rcitizens l shall do it
myself.
81 am not prejudiced against the
foreigner. The foreigner who comes to
this country with the intention of be-
coming a good citizen sometimes makes
an even better American citizen than
am. l believe that 80 per cent of the
German people in the United StateS
today would be good and patriotic cit
izens if we would cnly let them"
Self seeking politicians and avarh
ciOus business interests are in meas
ure responsible for the war, charged
Mr.. Marshall. The people cannot blame
the politicians, however, continued the
speaker, for the people are themselves
responsible for the politicians. As a
result OF the war, the speaker said, he
sees the abolition of the hyphenated
vote in the future.
SIT will put an end to the hyphe-
mated American of every kind and we
viii have instead plain, unadulter-
ated American citizen from now on,
he said. ''We will have new light on
one another Some of the brainiest and
most successful business men in the
country are volunteering their services
withoufN fNexpense to the country in this
hear of need. Rich and poor, employer
and employe. democrat, republican and
socialist, Catholic and protestant, have
