humanity in the interest of Wall Street's chosen few. t said. "Do not submit to intimidation,* but in form at least confined itself to peaceful measures such as a petition for the
repeal of the act. The other and later printed side
sheet was headed 'Assert Your Rights." It stated reasons for alleging that any violated the Constitution when hi
refused to recognize your right to assert your opposition to the draft," and went on, "If you do not assert and support your rights, you are helping to deny or disparage rights
which it is the solemn duty of all citizens and residents of the United States etain.' described the arguments on the other side as coming from cunning politicians and a
mercenary capitalist press, and even silent consent to the conscription law as helping to support an infamous conspiracy.
