determined opposition OF every liberal tendency
of the American mind.
"'He kept us out of war the slogan of
Wilson in 1916 Every voter remembered this
when he recalled the war that by his leanings
to England he took into. AS the democratic
leader he was pledged to Jeffersons ideals of
free speech, free press and pure democracy,
every voter when he or she went to the polls
recalled that Mr.. Wilson was the father of the
cruel and accursed Espionage laws and that
even when the war which furnished him with
an excuse for them was he vetoed
the republican bin which only in part repealed
them.
every German American voter recalled how
cruel had been the department of justice, its
agents, its methods, its prosecutions and prose-
cutions."
"There was not class q race religion in
the nation except the bigoted and slave South
and pro- British outlaws which have cankerec
and nauseated country all too long, thar
the Wilson administration had not shocked
offended. They voted against the southern
democracy with its cruel slavery still holding
the negro down, denying him both vote and
education"
I'VE have no faith in Warren G. Harding
and we take no glory do seek any
glary hope from his election, From our view
point he is vacuum, political cipher who
will be ruled by Wall street and through Wall
street by England"
1--WE have rid the nation Of Wisconsin,
now tighten up our straps to march on its
remnants in Hardingism Harding! We demand
that you recognize the Irish Republic. We de-
mand too that you shall free all political pris-
oners. Ireland! you have little to console you
hot Of NAT cd
but we promise you this that if justice is not
done to you We'll make Harding call the loans
we made to Britain and France, that we will
make both Britain and France pay all interest
due or in 1922 there will be congress
in Washington. We will make Harding stand
behind American Insurance companies, we will
make him get behind an American Merchant
marine, and before we get through, we will
make British cruelty in ireland cost Britain ten
times more money in America than she makes
in one year out of her tyranny in Ireland"
1--WE must not forget that while Ireland is
suffering her martyrdom, the Irish in
America have suffered martyrdom, too. 1tis
true that it is not of such a serious character
as in Ireland. 1t is more of moral martyr
DOM a crucifixion of our very souls We have
before us a picture of what the race has given
America and we have before at the same
America has been to Ireland"
We have gone into this matter at some length
because we sincerely believe that propaganda of this
ort is a serious menace to the peace of this coun
ry. 1t has gone too far to be ignored.
We do not believe that the best Irish Leadership
avors such campaign. Rather do thinl
hat the self-restrant and moderation of Monsigno
Daniel Cohalan, bishop of Cork, who has threaten
n IN ary of his flock who take
,art in ambuscades against crown forces, are typi
al of the ideals of Erin's greatest patriots. Rather
10 we believe that Father O'Flanagan, vice pres
lent of the Sim Fein, represents the aspirations
If his organization, when he tirelessy makes eff
ore after effort to bring about an honorable re
,onciliation with Great Britain.
Let Ireland continue to follow such men, ant
he splendid fight she is making for her independ
,nce will not be in vain. BY her indomitable will
o. free, rather than by Machavelian plots aimed
o bring about discord between two countries nov
It peace with each other will she soonest reallz'
Ter aspirations
The rank and file of Irish Americans will no
,ountenance any effort to draw this country, which
las given them unquestoning and unstnted hos
oitality, into war with foreign nation.
AS we write these lines we are thinking more
IF America than either of Ireland of England
We are thinking of the thousands of brave younl
Americans - Irish Americans among them - wh
nay have to give up their lives unless this in
,dious propaganda is stopped.
Like Othello. these young Americans. when i
S their cue to fight, will need no prompter." LIE
rs who are too old too sick to fight see to
hat the flower of manhood be not hurled
nto a conflict through the sinister machination
IF propagandiss. of whatever nationality the
may be.
