I resent the prefixing of anything to the title of American citizen. The man is either a German or an American citizen. If a German comes here and does not take out naturalization papers. he is still a German. and if he does take out his papers and becomes a citizen of the United States. he is not a GermanAmerican. but an American citizen. and all of them that I have ever seen are loyal and true to our Government from whatever government they come. The gentleman from the St. Louis district has seen fit to attack the election laws of our State. and in doing so has attacked our people.
