their friendship and cooperation in
past years, and sincerely deprecate

We believe that our gates should

leans, but to exploit our resources
and to take money back across the
waters with them
Uncle Sam has big task on hand
at this time to Americanize the for
eign element already here. This war
has shown that many who have come
here to our land have not become
assimilated, and have not taken seri.
ously the rights Of citizenship.
They have preserved their old
world traditions, and have sought to
inculcate their home land ideas into
the new world. Many of them are
preachers of doctrines directly op-
posed to Americanism; they have no
sympathy with the ideals of true
Americans.
Glance at the nam IS of the men
who are leaders in practically every
new "ism," and cult that is attempt
ed to be fostered upon the American
people, and you will hardly find an
American name in the lot. These men
are disturbers. They are ALWAYS
against the government. They preach
a doctrine of discomfort and class
hatred. They foment strife, and en-
deavor to overthrow the foundations
upon which our government rests.
They are outcasts from their ma
tive countries. They are here to r
the country no good, but to incite to
revolt. Let US endeavor to assimi-

cordance with the very strong letter
of Gov. Burnquist under date of
March II, 1913, in which he unhesi-
tatingly brands the leaders of the
Nonpartisan League with disloyalty,
we deem it detrimental to the peace
and welfare of the state and nation
to encourage the holding of public

have a peace officer to prevent the
utterance of disloyal statements, eth
