Smith for Presidency (Continued from Page 1)

and invited the world to enter. People came from the other shores in ever in- creasing numbers, people from countries different in tradition and racial charac- teristics than the nativity of the origi- nal settlers. In 1830 the white, Anglo- Saxon, protestant citizenship had dwin- dled to seventy percent. The tide of immigration grew in the following years until, in the period of expansion follow- ing the Civil War, they came to our

shores in hundreds of thousands and in millions. They were not of the old stock which settled the country and es-

tnU.shed the government. They were

from Asia, from Italy, from Southern Germany, from Russia, from Lithunia. For hundreds of years these people had been trained in an invironment differ- ent from ours, steeped in traditions dif- ferent in ideas of religious worship, of public schools, of marriage, and of le- gal transactions.

This foreign invasion grew until the very cess-pools of Europe and Asia were

turned toward America, and our country today is a Babel of many tongues. The great Eastern states, which control the politics and the finances of the coun-

try are alien in population, in racial characteristics, and of ideals of govern- ment. Alien people control New York America's greatest city, and Chicago, hei second city. More than half of the elec- tive and appointive officers of this na-

tion are filled by this alien people. The percentage of White, Anglo-Saxon, Pro- testant people has gradually diminished until today only in the South can the pure and undefiled stock of our fore- fathers be found.

Klan. This alien people, who threaten to take over the reigns of our govern- ment. are unfitted by tradition, by ra-

cial characteristics, and by environment for our type of government. The form of government south of the Rio Grande river is their idea of civilization; that north of the Rio Grande is ours.

A supreme effort is now being made to deliver the highest office in our gov-

ernment, the Presidency, into the hands of this alien people. A1 Smith, elected governor of New York four times by a

preponderantly alien people, espoused by Tammany Hall, which has been alien in characteristics since the Revolution- ary War, with no public record to com-

mend him save a desire to nullify the

eighteenth amendment to the Constitu- tion—A1 Smith is the candidate of this alien people for the Presidency. Money, political power, religious influence—ev-

ery possible means is being used in his behalf.

Mr. Wankan’s plea for an instruced

delegation against A1 Smith or any other

pronounced wet was based upon the

program of Tammany Hall to tie up all

delegates possible for Smith, and to have

delegates coming from states known to

be unfriendly to Smith uninstructed, with a hope of forcing them into the Smith camp for party expediency. He

quoted from Tammany leaders to con-

firm his statement. He urged an in- struced delegation against Smith as a

rebuke for his efforts to nullify the

Eighteenth amendment. He did not urge

instructing for any one, further than to speak clearly against those who have

sought to destroy the fundamental law’ of the land.

That this country w’as built by and for the white, Anglo-Saxon, protestant people, is the cardinal principle actuat-

ing the Ku Klux Klan, said Mr. Wankan. That its government may be handed down to posterity in that same condition shall be the activating motive of the Klan. And that the keys of government shall not be turned over to a people dif- ferent in all essential characteristics, shall be the theme of a series of ad-

dresses to be made by the Grand Dra-

gon of that order in Mississippi that shall include every section of the state, the address at Lexington being the op-

ening engagement. __
