A Wrong Champion 0f "Persona
Liberty"

Congressman Bartholdt of Mis-
souri,, holding the proxy Of Charles
Nagel, national committeeman for
this state, voted against seating dele
gates elected by the voters to the Re-
publican national convention. He
subuained by every vote he cast and
every word he said the illegal and
morally fraudulent acts by which the
committee overruled the will OF the
people clearly expressed.
For Congressman Bartholdt to prate
now about 'personal liberty" is a
vain thing. .-Kanas City Star.
