Let us return for a moment to the
necessity for understanding, par

The menacng tendency Of the pres

the unsettled and fevered conditions
caused by the war The manifest
weakness IN popular government lies
In The temptation TO appeal to group

There is no greater peril. The con-
stitution cOntemplates no class and
recognizes no group. II broadly in
cludes all the people, with specific
recognition for none, and khe highest
conservation we can make today is a
cOmmitial Of the Republican party 10

cOntemplales all America as one pcO-

country which are aimed to destroy
our economic system, and 10 commit
us 10 the colossal tragedy which has
both destroyed an freedom and made

not TO be halted Ia thr0ttled liberties.
We must not abridge the freedom or
speech the freedom Of press. or the
freedom OF assembly, because there is
ne promise IN repression These lib
critics are as sacred as the freedom
Of religious belief, as inviolable as the
rights of life and the pursuit on han
piness. We do hold 60 the right to
crush sedition, TO stitle a menacing
contempt for law, TO stamp out a
peril 10 the safety OF the republic or
It's people. when emergency calls be-
cause security and the majesty Of the
law are the first essentials OF liberty.
He who threatens destruction OF the
government by force or flaunts his
contempt for lawful authority, ceases

rights 10 the freedom OF the republic.
