KNAPP SUPPORTS
ANTI-CERMAN BILL

The following statement concerning
the anti-German bill is made In a let
ter to Ed N. Wilson, secretary of the
Rotary Club, by Representative J. M.
Knapp, who voted for the measure.
II believe that the McCray Anti
German bill passed the senate on Mon
day afternoon, is the best bill yet Of
fered. I am very much disappointed
in the action of the legislature thus
far in the matter. 1t has been my
opinion that the legislature should
have taken this matter up, passed a
very strong anti-German bill in both
houses and should have been signed
by the governor during the first week
Of the session. think the legislature
has made a mistake Of this delay.
II surely cannot mistake the senti-
ment of the people OF Indiana, espe-
cially the people of Wayne county,
when ! say that I believe that they
demand the most stringent anti-Ger-
man law that is possible to be passed,
and yet to be held constitutional.
want my vote and attitude on this one
proposition to harmonic entirely
with my stand on this proposition dur
ing the war and / want the people of
Wayne county to understand that
will be for the strongest measure that
will come the nearest to representing
100 percent American citizenship"
