The Cause of the Trouble

foreign birth, whose presence in thi
country is an increasing menace t
every American ideal, and ! want t
see them rounded up like scrub cattl
and shipped back to their own tick
infested range.
For years and years you can trac
practically every social, political, o
economic disturbance directly to tn
officious and brazen activities o
these imported moral buccaneers.
Added to this, you can quickly sat
isfy yourself of the fact that if thes
confirmed disciples of government con
troll by the use of dynamite and nitro
glycerine were not armed with tn,
ballot their influence would amount t,
nothing, for the simple reason that tn,
time-serving politicians would hav,
no incentive to pander to them anc
thus encourage them in their high
handed participation in our state anC
national affairs. The ballot, in the
hands of such a vicious element, Is
worse than arms and open warfare
for when you undermine your own
government, personal liberty and civ
ilization itself, goes into the discard.
What want is to see America for
Americans-in fact and in truth.
