I've got seven scored against him already,
and I'm going to get some more. But the language question seems to
me different. Cut out the German newspapers and the German schools
in America by all means! No more teaching of the primary branches
in any language but English! Make it absolutely necessary for
everybody in the U. S. A. to learn the language of the country the

be studied like any other foreign language, by those who want
it--chemists, and philosophers, and historians, and electrical
engineers, and so on. We could censor the text-books and keep out
all complimentary allusions to the Hohenzollern family."

exterminate their language in America."

ditty-bag and carefully extracted a bit of newspaper.
