we must say that the use which vas
made Of the United States troops.
seems to have been the extreme exer.
else OF power. and one for which the
President. who is primarily reapousi-
ble for it. must tind it very difficult to
show adequate authority. The United
States guarantee to each State q re.
publican form Of, governments, and on
requlsitIon protection agairist domestio
violence. In this case. there was no
recent requisition. and there was no
actual violence. The Governor called
in troops, in anticipation of his own
helplessness. and engaged their CON.
mnnder in acts which have never vet
been performed by Uuiied States
army officers. The troops did not aid
the State forces-they replaced them.
We do not believe the oountry will fe.
gard such procedure with approval. IT

tenn OF government cannot be easily
foreseen."
