have voted against the resolution had he been when
the matter up in the This that he willing
for the imperial German government to continue its ruthless dis
regard of the rights of American citizens sinking the ships
goods destroying the foreign markets for products
and rampng liberties under the iron heel of mtarism No
man who was willing for America to bow her knee to the German
war lord was the friend of any American citizen
