I now assert that the people of this country who love our land. its glory. its past. and its future will curse you and scourge you at the ballot box. Are we cowards. are we driveling slaves of a foreign sentiment. crouching and cringing under the tyrannical hand of the Shipping Trust? Does the Liberal Immigration League. inspired by corruption and born in a putrid desire to flood our land with vice. control us. or will we answer a hundred thousand separate petitions containing millions of names asking for this legislation? It will not do for gentlemen to say I make a wholesale tirade against the Jew. the Italian. the Greek. and all the races that give us so many good citizens. I am familiar with the foreign names that now stand in our public places as honorable marks to their service in the formative period of our countrys history. and the loyalty of thousands of good citizens that habitat here now.
