Speech #570068582

Mr. Chairman. and I shall vote against the amendment of the gentleman from Ohio. The immigrant that we have to tempt to this country with a glass of beer is not the kind of an immigrant that we want. Nearly all the trouble that we have had with our military posts and Soldiers Homes has grown out of the sale of liquor near those military posts and Soldiers Homes. and if I had it in my power I would not permit the sale of liquor within ten miles of either a military post or a Soldiers Home. I hope that the amendment of the gentleman from Ohio will be voted down. and I serve notice on the House now that I shall offer a resolution in response to the suggestion of the gentleman from Ohio abolishing the sale of liquor in the Capitol building of the capital city of the United States.
