"It proceeds from a minority, a very small minority, but a very active ana . subtle minority.

This is the sort of thing against which the American nation will turn (With a might and triumph of senti ment which will teach these gentle men once for all that loyalty to this 'flag is the first test of tolerance In the United States." The President's words were taken as an open challenge to foreign-born , Americans who he has learned from foreign language newspapers and other sources, are opposing him Tor re-election.
