They aim tostrike down society. and I would slay them as quickly as I would strike a ild beast that came into my track to attack me. To some extent the Government must participate in that spirit for the protection of our Government. We are not troubled except with these people. The honest Irish immigrant gives us no trouble. the German immigrant. the Norwegian. and lots of other people who come here give- us no trouble. It is simply a special class that we are aiming at. It seems to me that the bill proposed as a substitute is in that particular fairly well drawn.
