In one part of the oration Mr. Depew speaks of socialism finding a footing in America. He also said that socialism finds disciples only among those who are forced to fly from « their native lands. Mr. Morgan was severe in his criticises. He claimed that Mr. Depew, as one of the greatest orators in the United States, should know better than to make such assertions. “He either does not know what socialism is,” . continued Mr. Morgan, “or willfully, misrepresents it.” Mr. Morgan’s argument was placed before the gathering in the form of a resolution denouncing that portion of Mr. Depew’s speech, and the resolution was unanimously adopted.
