POLITICS GUARD
FROM RED FLAG
George Haight Says Men Must
Learn Institutions to Save
from BOlSheVism.

To save American institutions
from BoIshevism, American bust
ness men must get into politics. is
the solution to the Bolshevism
problem as figured by George L,
Haight, Chicago attorney, who
spoke to members of the After Din
ner club last evening.
The fundamentals of American
liberty to be protected from Boil
shevism can only be done by the
political game American business
men must get into politics. he said,
for there is nothing disgraceful
about it.
IF we can't stand against these
isms there's something wrong he
continued. Get into politics. The
business man who says he'll have
nothing TO do with politics is not
an American. Politics make the
laws which protect you. There's
nothing disgraceful about il. You
haven't talked enough about Am
erican institutions. The system of
American public education is our
greatest institution. Be sure we
understand our institution our
selves.
Preach these institutions 10
those whose opportunities haven't
been as good as ours If American
institutions cant stand up against
the man on the soap box, it's time
for them to take a back seat. Go
into the manufacturing districts and
teach the foreign born. The prob
lem of today is 10 preserve a the
DRY of rights that has worked well
for $50 years"
