Roosevelt's last written sentence
was: Amy man who says he is an
American but something else also
isn't an American at all. We have
room for but one flag, the American
flag, and this excludes the red flag,
which symbolizes all wars against
liberty and civilization just as much
as it excludes any foreign flag of
nation to which we are hostile. We
have room for but one language here
and that is the English language, for
we intend to see that the crucible
turns our people out as Americans,
Of American nationality and not as
dwelliers in polygot clearinghouse,
and we have room, for but one 10y
atty and that is loyalty to the Amer
lean people"
