FIGHTING BOB' PUTS PEP INTO HIS TALKS
 ID PLAY RADICALS

In language that the crowd on the streets can understand. Fighting Bob'' Sawn is pouring out hot shot in his Americanism campaign here.
 Last night at First and Washington streets he spoke to an enthusiastic crowd of several hundred people. The big idea behind Fighting Bob's' cam paign is faith in the constitution of the United States, in the American form of government and in the good sense and loyalty of the American people. This is the foundation on which he builds his hopes to be of use In mak ing a happier, better and more pros- porous country. He does not claim that America is perfect: that there are no wrongs to be lighted, no in justice to be removed, no reasons for people to find fault; but he does be- lieve there is no country where the people have a better chance to make life what it ought to be if they will use their brains, their labor and their opportunities wisely.
 He denounces no one because he is of foreign blood. being a foreign-bo born immigrant himself, but he is devoting his life and his time to make them understand America and American ways, and to make 1t easier for them | to join with all who live beneath the Stars and Stripes in working for real 1 freedom, justice, a better chance and l of law and the blessings of peace. He 1 believes that under the constitution of l the United States, and working 1 through the free institutions it pro- | vides, such as the right of discussion i along loyal lines. of assembly for law 1 full purposes of the ballot and making | laws and amending of constitutions l through elected representatives of the people, we can right all wrongs, and all evils. make all wise and needed | changes and secure freedom and jus tice and happiness for a united people
 But he will fight, as he says, '"Till | hell freezes over. and then with skates on," by every lawful means those who try by threats and violence to over throw our government destroy our in- stitutions or break down the safe guards which protect the rights of persons and property under our flag | His crusade is against those who preach the. strife of one class against another, who SOW the seeds of bitter ness and hate, and would set up the
 advantage of any group as bigger than
 the welfare of all the people. Those
 who are attempting to do this are
 classified under various names, such
 as socialists, bolshevists, communists and I. W.ists, and these are the ones
 whom Fighting Bob' is attempting
 to show up In their true colors.
 1 These agitators, who would destroy
 the government and undermine the in- , stitutions, use as their schoolroom the
 street corner and as their rostrum tho soap box, from which their base and
 traitorous language is hurled at hin
 who is susceptible to their line of ar
 guments. At these street meeting.
 many a man who would be loyal i.
 turned away from his allegiance and
 given foolish radical ideas which ar,
 his undoing.
 Fighting Bob" came to the realiza. ton that if such methods could b,
 used by the enemies of America, tha
 the friends of our country could us,
 the same methods to counteract thes, seeds of sedition. and that is his mis
 sion.
 Using the vernacular of the sea, hi, words are plain and to the point ant cannot be misunderstood. With sar. casm, hyperbole and natural wit h, overturns every argument advanced
 by those who would fly the red fla, over our land.
