Mr. Chairman. I read a squib in a newspaper the other day to this effect: An Italian appeared before a court to make application for naturalization papers. and in the course of the examination the judge inquired of him if lie belonged to any society that was inimical to the interests of the United States. and he said that he was a Democrat. [Laughter and applause on the Republican side.] And I think that no society that could be organized anywhere within the boundaries of the United States could have done more harm to the American people than the Democrats have done since the inauguration of President Wilson to the Presidency. They have opened the ports of America to the markets of the world. They have closed the factories and the workshops and .thrown all the American workmen out of employment.
