CENTRALIA REDS PLAN RIOT:
CITIZENS LYNCH SECRETARY

CENTRALIA, Wash, Nov. 12.-
This city was the scene yesterday
of one Of the worst exhibitions of
radicalism thus far staged in this
country by the Industrial Workers
of the World, which will result, it
is believed, in a general and Wig
orous campaign against members of
that unpatriotic organization. AS a
result of the outbreak, four ex-
service men are dead. the secretary
of the local Red organization has
been lynched, scores are wounded,
and nineteen Industrial Workers are
in jail.
The trouble started during the
ArmiStice Day parade, which was
made up largely of ex-service men.
The marchers were fired upon by
Reds, several of the former SOL
diers having been slated for assas-
,sination. Three were killed accord
ing to schedule. and a fourth fell
during the pursuit of the assassins.

Martin braved the opposition,
however, and on March 4, 1895,
took his seat. His ability was soon
discovered. and from the date of
his advent into pational politics he
served continuously in the senate,
rising TO the floor leadership of his
party and the Craftsmanship Of the
important appropriations committee.
He served in that capacity during
the war Congress. where he was
regarded as one Of the leading
figures in the senate.
