Yes. and it -vas reasserted by our own oflicials under the last administration. under the palmy (lays of Palner. that there was an organization In this country composed of aliens who were going to overthrow our Government. and he spent several million dollars of our money going out to arrest a whole lot offoreigners and deporting them. We sent a ship load across the water. and the official who passed on most of those cases has said over his own signature. in writing. that in all of the thousands of arrests that were made there were only a very few cases. as I remember It. at least a very small number. where there was anything in any way that showed a criminal nature in any of the fellows who were ar.rested. and there were five or six thousand arrested. Yet. all at once all over the country a lot of sleuths. detectives. some of them highclass men. some of them exconvicts. some of them who had been themselves found guilty before jures. were out ferreting out the evidence. and at a signal from Washington they -made a raid a11 -over the country. from the Atlantic to the Pacific. upon clubs. residences. amusement halls. and restaurants. and arrested everybody in sight without warrant.
