Al Capone

Al Capone
Bolshevism is knocking at our gates, we can't afford to let it in...We must keep America whole and safe and unspoiled. We must keep the worker away from red literature and red ruses we must see that his mind remains healthy.
Al Capone
Some call it bootlegging. Some call it racketeering. I call it a business.
Al Capone
You accomplish more with a smile, a handshake, and a gun than you do with just a smile and a handshake.
