PROTESTS AND PRoTEsTERs-ALso; PARADEs

Published reports OF "a wave of IN

nile Of all classes'' have done two
things--misrepresen the real facts,
and placed In a false and unfair posi-
lion the hundreds of good citizens OF
both sexes who have labored long and
sinselfshly in what they believed to
be the best interests of the men who
galiantly represented this state on the
