Resolved by this public gathering df citizens. That we demand that the sheriff appoint an active and lawabiding deputy sheriff for this section. and that the sheriff. his deputies. and all police officers get busy aud bring these lawbreakers to Justice or else resign their offices and make way for officers who will do their sworn duty. That our courts of justice speed up the trial of all criminal cases. paying less attention to the technicalities of court procedure and more to the prompt puulshment of crime. that paroles and pardons be granted only in the most extreme cases. to the end that evilminded persons may be restrained by the fear of sure and speedy Justice. and Whereas a very prominent class of criminals are immigrants from various countries. many of whom had criminal records In their own countries. we now demand that our Senators and Representatives in Congress support needed legislation for the prompt deportation of such foreigners as shall be convicted of crime and that our Immigration laws be strengthened. so as to exclude all foreigners until they shall show a clean record In their own country. And. for ourselves. we solemnly promise our own active efforts in the support of law and order and of those who are in places of authority so long as they faithfully and fearlessly fulfill their oaths of office. and that. so long as God shall give us strength. we will work. vote. pray. and fight for those principles which will tend to bring about cleaner lives In a safer community. That was adopted by a unanimous vote.
