Col George ". Dunn. Chairman of TIA"
Republican state Cummit;cc. arrived In

hamton. col Dunn put up a, the hnh
Avenue Ho,. He told the reporters
who saw him there thai one Of the first
acts which will bc passHsi by the. Legisla-
trre ~ inJ2 will b" one defining anarchisrn
and providing severe penalties for all an-
archisis Col Dunn said that not only
did he expect 20 $50 this legislation enacted
In this State. but he also expects that nearly
all the other states In the Cnion will pass
similar acts. ard tha, the Federal Congress
will pass an act for the personal proiec-
ton of Government officials
The plan now IL To provide that any
person who attempts the life of the Pte,i-

Of interfering with the rights Of the citizens
In regard Ia free speech and the night of

My own idea said Col Dunn last oven
ing, II thni any man who ~oeks 10 destroy
the officials of the Government, and 20
tear down its fabric. whether hy appeals
Ia tho fnfailaf,n Of Inv attacks tho
lives Of the officials. should be deemed
guilty Of treason, and punished nccord-

officials % the United States and ~ "a" Stat"
Governments are PARTS 81 tho-e Govern
Ments An attack upon them II not merely
an attack upon man IN high position, but
II II an attack upon the position itaelf Now
my idea would IT, that We ought To enact
legislation which would punish most severely
any man or woman who urged or suggested
or countsnanc.d any unlawful or notou-
act against the Government

States i= di-plea~ed With the way IN which

al the hand Of any man who feels thai he
is ~ronged. II u not the desire or the IN
tention Of any person To interfere with
