This rabid talk of bolshevism must
not shake our faith in Americans. We

will not be made by men who work
under cover of darkness, and fashion
strange devices which destroy when
those who devised them are safely
gone.
These changes viii not come
through men who dream Of conquest
through destruction. These men will
meet with the same fate met by all
men who seek to acquire what they
are unwilling to earn
The ballot box is NOT spectacular
weapon, but it is effective, and it is
the weapon selected by right-thinking
men. These men we honor today
would have it so.
Let us then so conduct ourselves
that we may always be a credit to
them, who, by their patriotism. their
courage and their fortitude, made it
possible for us to enjoy the glorious
freedom of this, the most wonderful
nation on the face of the earth.
Ours is a prinCely heritage, handed

we fail in our duty to protect, we
shall be false to the men who kept
