SAYS STATE LAW PROTECTS
UNITED STATES FLAG,
Adjutant General LlewelIyn Quotes
Statute to Punish Defamers of
Flag They Live Under.

That steps should be taken to pro-
secute defamerS of the stars and
stripes is the opinion expressed by
Adj Gen. Fred Llewellyn
1T has been reported in the daily
press that on last Saturday night be-
fore crowd gathered in the city, a
person publicly denounced the Ameri-
can flag, referring to it as a dirty rag
and otherwise holding it up to the
ridicule and scorn," said Gen. Lew
ellyn yesterday. "Other similar in
cidents have occurred here and else
where in the state in recent months.
Law Protects Flag.
Such acts have been condemned by
newspapers editorially. by the courts
and by public men in their utterances
but it seems nothing definite is being
done to put a stop to them.
Il desire to call attention to the fact
that we do not have to submit to such
Outrages. The law of this state (Sec-
tion 2675 Rem. & Bal. Code) makes it
criminal offense to jeer at the flag
Persons so low in the scale of decency
as to be guilty of such despcable and
contemplate conduct can be properly
reached in only one way, and that is
by strict enforcement of the penalty
Should Be Enforced.
Let them learn that they cannot
with impunity insult the American
flag in an American community. Every
officer of the law should be on the
alert to promptly apprehend and cause
the punishment of such offenders
They should be actively prosecuted
and, if possible. driven out of the
country for which they have so little
respect"

As Observed by a Man on
the Firing Line at the
National Capital
ROOSEVELT Is SENSATION
State Primaries Scatter All
Political Precedents to
the Four Winds

Special Correspondence TO The'Herald.
WASHINGTON. D. c., April 22-
Political Washington has been doing
all the stunts appertaining 10 emotion
al insanity Oh account OF the returns
from the primary election in the state
of Illinois. The sweeping victory for
Roosevelt over Taft has set the quid-
nuncs TO work and they are predicting
that the Republican national conven-
ton in Chicaso will very much re.
semble a bear garden, which means
scrap to a finish.
There are very few people here who
believe that Roosevelt will bolt the
convention, but it is absolutely cer-
tain that all the things he has said in
this campaign and all the attacks upon
the Republican administration, of
which Taft is the head, will be brought
home to roost and that the Democratic
campaign book and that the Demo-
cratic speakers all over this country.
during the campaign, will not neglect
to use every word that Roosevelt has
uttered in damnng the Taft admins
tration.
So far as the returns from tthe H.
linois primary concerns the Demo.
cratic situation, it begins to look very
much like the Honorable Champ Clark
tnan ever it did before.
The overwhelming defeat of Gov.
ernor W. ia III g state ike Illinois,
which is one of the pivotal states in a
national election, has confirmed the
opinion of many men here in Wash
ington, whose business it is to keep
their fingers upon the public pulse,
that Governor Wilson is now on the
toboggan slide and that he has no
more chance to win than a one-legged
man at kicking match. According
to their opinions, it also shows the
strength of Champ Clark as vote
getter and his friends all say that
is exactly what the Democrats need in
a national election.
The Illinois returns indicate that
Champ Clark as vote-getter can car
ry the state as against Taft inasmuch
as there is no chance for Roosevelt to
be nominated and carry the state, they
claim that Champ Clark s nomination
would absolutely cinch the Democratic
electors in the state OF Illinois next
November.
The Clark people say that their man
has been endorsed by the voters in
this country and in the states that
are the nearest neighbors to his home
state and they include in this the
states of Arkansas and Iowa, therefore
their candidate a man loved
by those who know him best, which
is very good recommendation for
any man any time in this world.
This is the most picturesue cam.
paign before the conventions are held
that it has been my lot to witness
since 1896, and from my experience in
watching political campaigns, | can
give it as my honest judgment that
the Democrats are going to win next
November and that nothing now can
stop the nomination of Honorable
Champ Clark as the Democratic nom-
inee unless the Democrats in congress
of which he is the leader, make some
fatal mistake or do something abso-
lutely abhorrent to the wishes and de-
sires of the people of this country

GROWTH OF WHALING INDUSTRY

The launching of the third steamer
for the Grays Harbor station last week
has directed attention to the growth
of this industry on the Pacific coast of
recent years. Over 1000 whales were
captured on the Pacific coast last year,
of which the Grays Harbor station.
although just established and not full
ly organized, got 60. The plant at
Bay City is bound to grow to one of
the largest industries in this locality
and, with its immense equipment
used for whaling only part of the year,
is certain to take up other lines of
fishing, for which the Pacific ocean in
the vicinity of Grays Harbor offers
unlimited possibilities.

To Win South from Taft

GREENSBORO, n. c., April 22.-lt
Col Roosevelt gains the nomination
for president, he will come to the
South, he said today, in an effort to
win it over. He made claim to the
support of Democrats as well as Re
publicans, and said he would embarl,
on a determined campaign to break W
the solid South.
Claims Support of Democrats.
81 have the right to the support of
every heir to the Jacksonian Democ-
racy," he said in his speech here. Il
am fighting for the principles in which
the great bulk of the people of the
South believe, and they are kept away
by mere name. | shall fight
so that they will vote the way they
feel-and when l fight, l fight"
In another part of his speech he
said:
when l am nominated. I'll do my
best to get the old 'tar-heel' state
To Break Solid South.
''If l am nominated. I'm going to
fight to break the solid South" said
Col. Roosevelt in his speech in Sails
bury He told the crowds that met
him he hoped to get some electoral
votes in the South.
I'VE have won in Oklahoma, Illinois,
Pennsylvania, Oregon and Nebraska
he said. 1T is no understatement to
say that three times out of four We'll
beat them to frazzle,' and I am
pretty generous to allow them even
that one time"
Greeted by Crowd in Rain
In driving rain Col. Roosevelt
spoke in Asheville to a crowd which
came out to meet him when he arrived
at $50 a. m. He made his speech
from a platform at the station. He
left for Greensboro after short stay
