I love Missouri. but the Department of Justice found indictments against and convicted seven nen in my State of the crime of peonage. and they were sentenced to the penitentiary. I am not ashamed of that. I am proud that the men who sat on that jury and rendered that verdict for liberty were twelve libertyloving Missourians. I would that that verdict could be blazoned across the western skies telling the poor immigrant who lands on the Atlantic coast that in my great State dwell the twelve men who rendered that verdict. We love liberty in Missouri. and that conviction shows that we love liberty. The convictions in Florida do not show that the people of Florida do not love liberty.
