1t will be remembered that war was de-
clared on April 6, 1916, and that it had been
in progress not quite two months. Our boys
were marching to fight under the starry ban
ner of the Republic, for their country. The
mothers of the land were knitting sweaters
and sox to help keep pneumonia from the
boys. Fathers were buying Liberty bonds
stinting themselves that the soldiers might
be properly fed, while this vicious disloyalist
born under foreign skies, coming to our land
and prospering beyond his deserts, was pro-
claiming against his government by both
word and pen-obstructing his government,
hindering his government, practicng treason
upon his government.
To show the contempt in which this man
is held, Congressman Richard Yates, Repub-
lican, from Illinois, and who is an ex-gover-
nor of that state, had the following to say,
same being recorded in the Congressional
Record at page 1885,
"He hates Congress- He denounced us
representatives and told us we did not truly
represent the people; he denounced us again
saying we were all cowed by the capital
istic press. This is deliberate falsehOOd,
80 far as | am concerned and so far as all
the other members of this house are con-
cerned, believe. He hates the courts. He
hates the Judge and jury by whom he was
tried and convicted and sentenced to twenty
years Imprisonment for giving aid and COM
fort to Germany. He hates and belittles and
villifies the President and the Secretary of
War and the 'superczaristic" Postmaster Gen.
eral, and all in authority. He hates the
press, declaring it plutOcratc. He hates the
American economic and financial system,
stigmatizing it as 'captalistic He declares
and proclaims all this concentrated hatred.
He is contemptuous about it. He is insolent,
arrogant, insulting, vituperative, with all the
expertness in editorial epithet which years
of practice has given him. His effrontery is
amazing. He declares he retracts nothing
ever written or said by him. He admits he
subscribed to the Socialist platform advocat-
ing that citizens buy guns and keep the
guns, with the necessary ammunition insist
ing, however, that in his own case the rifle
he kept was only to shoot deer. The gul-
ibity with which his own dupes have swal-
lowed his advice caused him to believe that
Congress is sufficiently gullible to believe
that million men were advised to buy guns,
with necessary ammunition to shoot deer
He says 4,O00,000 soldier and sailor boys
fought all in vain, so that we lost our lib
,erties and gained nothing but imperialism. AS
matter Of fact, our boys saved New York
Washington and Chicago from triumphal
parade led by the kaiser; but this man says
all they did was to lose US our liberties. He
