for their children. They came here
with practically nothing. They have
got everything now. So. in the name
of God Almighty, are you people go
ing to throw down this government
that has fed you and give it up and
send 1t back to the autocratic gov
eminent of Kaiser Bill ?"
Sen. Julius Haycraft:
"A disloyal German is hideous to
me, but he is no more hideous than
a disloyal Norwegian or Swede or
Dane or Irishman, and he is not near
ly SO hldeous to me as disloyal Yam
kee. | place a disloyal Yankee ina
class which / call Class "a" as an
object of censure, criticism and shame
We hear much of the constitution.
Oh, what offences have not been COM
mitted in the name of the constitu-
tion.. Every cowardly legislator when
he wants to vote wrong said he would
vote the other way but he was afraid
the bill is unconstitutional. We un-
derstand that certain people don't be-
lleve it constitutional to send our SOL
diers across the waters. In 1898 one
of the men if / understand it cor
rectly, of one Of the citizens in this
county, lead a company of Brown
county boys to the Philippines. We
were fighting the King of Spain then.
1t was all right then but when we
are made to fight the Kaiser, the king
of Brutes, why it is all wrong. We
are at war and that war is being
fought in Europe. There is nothing
about it so nice and enticing that we
want it on American soil. The Kaiser
doesn't care how large an army we
raise, or how much money we ex-
pend in raising it, but he is serious
ly concerned in having that army
hurled against his army. Every man
who is keeping his army at home is
carrying out the will and the wishes
of the Kaiser to a letter, and / say
to you emphatically and without hest
tation, and so everybody can hear it,
who advocates keeping the army at
home and not sending it against the
German army, is, consciously or I'M
consciously, an enemy of his country
Sen. FRANK Clague:
I want to say word in behalf of
those people in New Ulm who are
loyal. | have heard great deal, and
you have heard a great deal that all
of New Ulm is wrong. | know that
that isn't true, and | want to say
right here, that the people, that the
majority of the people in New Ulm
are right. | believe there are few
leaders down there that are wrong.
There have been and are men in New
Ulm that are wrong; we have men
in Redwood Falls that are wrong, and
possibly we have men in Springfield
that ought to be right. but now are
wrong But, friends, they are going
to be right not only in New Ulm, but
all over the state inside of six months.
When anyone tells you that the gov
eminent has no right to send the sol
diers across the waters, that man is
telling you a falsehood, and he knows
it. He is a liar, and when Albert
Pfaender said that it was doubtful If
| the government had the right to send
our men across to France, he was
| telling a falsehood. and he knows it.
Any lawyer can tell you that the gov
eminent has the right to send the SOL
diers across to France"

We have heard about German dis
loyalty There may be a few disloy-
al Germans, but there are thousands
