I would like to hear a little more on this floor about the American race. You talk about hyphenated citizens. Ah. my friends. the immigration of some of the nationalities against which you inveigh. some of the nationalities against which you show so much animosity. as we who have observed them and have had experience with them know. after they have been naturalized they lose their hyphens. and if they do not lose their hyphens at once. their descendants only one generation removed completely lose the hyphen. But some of the gentlemen who forget the American race. who talk only about the AngloSaxon race on this floor and on the stump and who say they date their ancestry back to the begilning of the Republic. make it selfevident that all the generations since the Revolutionary War have not been sufficient to. make them forget their English hyphen. Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.
