By THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
We can have no "fifty-fifty” alle
giance in th is country. E ith e r a man
is an A m erican and n o thing else, or
he is not an A m erican at all. We
a re ak in by blood and descent to
m ost of th e n ations of E u ro p e; but
we are se p arate from all of th em ;
we a re a new and d istin ct natio n ,
and we a re bound alw ays to give o u r
w hole-hearted and undivided loyalty
to o u r own flag, and in any in te r
n atio n al crises to tre a t each and
every foreign nation purely accord
ing to its conduct in th a t crisis.
This nation was founded because
th e A m ericans of 1776, alth o u g h pre
dom inantly E nglish by blood, fought
th e ir own kinsm en to estab lish th e ir
lib erty and to m ake th is n atio n th e
hope of th e world. Again, o ver a
cen tu ry ago, o u r fo re fa th e rs once
m ore fo u g h t E n g lan d ; and th e men
in th is co u n try who were of E nglish
blood stood w ith absolute loyalty by
A m erica and ag ain st E ngland. It is
n o t m erely o u r rig h t but e u r duty to
in sist on exactly th e sam e fu ll-h e a rt
ed loyalty by all A m ericans of o th e r
descent, w henever we are a t w ar
w ith th e country from w hich th e ir
ancestors came.
We welcome th e G erm an o r th e
Irish m an who becomes an A m erican.
W e have no use for th e G erm an or
Irish m an who rem ains as such. We
do not wish G erm an-A m ericana or
Irish-A m ericans who figure as such
in o u r social an d political life; we
w ant only Am ericans and, provided
they are such, we do n o t care w h eth
e r they are of n ativ e o r of Irish or of
G erm an ancestry. We have no room
in any h ealthy A m erican com m unity
for a G erm an-A m erican vote, o r an
Irish-A m erican vote, and it is con
tem p tib le dem agogy to p u t p lanks
into any platform for th e purpose of
catching such a vote. We have no
room fo r any people who do n o t act
and vote sim ply as A m ericans, and
as n o th in g else........................
