He also advocated passage of legislation which would prevent aliens fi om coming into the country "until the United States has been cleansed of its impurities." "The country has made a woeful mistake mis-take in allowing these aliens, dirty of body and treacherous of mind, to come into the country," Mr. Johnson said "And we are now making another mistake mis-take ir allowing them to continue preaching preach-ing their blood and iron revolution. Just yesterday I received one of their papers which shrieked revolution from its headlines head-lines and anarchy in every line. I would venture to say that not one of its editors was a citizen of the United States." Mr. Johnson declared that every alien who could not show an "absolutely clean slato should be thrown out of the country coun-try at once."
