KANSAS VOTERS ARE LOYAL

KANSAS VOTERS AXE LOYAL
The loyal, American citizens of
Kansas did their duty at the polls in
the recent primary election held there.
Governor Allen had been marked for
slaughter" by the radicals headed by
Alexander HOwatt, president of the
Kansas coal miners, who IS rank
socialist and bolshevists of the worst
kind. The coal miners predicted the
Overwhelming defeat Of Governor
Allen because he had called special
session of the legislature to pass laws
to prevent strikes and walk-outs and
the destruction of property by organ
lied outlaws under the name of labor
organizations. A determined fight was
made against Allen by the radical Ia
Dor element of Kansas, but the loyal
citizens of that state gave him the
handsome compliment of 10000 votes
at the primary election. He was re-
nominated by an overwhelming ma
jority. Radical anarchists, under the
name of labor unionism, cannot con-
troll Kansas. Since the primary cleo
ton the coal miners who were out on
strike as protest against the labor |
laws Of Kansas, have returned to
work over the protest of Howatt, their
president, who forbade them to re-
turn The people of Kansas are to
be congratulated upon having such a
governor as Allen and upon having
the good sense to support him.

Stories of threatened suffering from
hunger and cold in bolshevik Russia
are being told and confirmed from
every hand That the country ruled
by Trotzky and Lenine is in serious
condition cannot be doubted. Although
able to keep an army of more than
half a million men armed, equipped
and fighting first one foe and then
another, the bolshevists are up
against it, for they have ruined all
industry, reduced production o. lood
stuffs and all the necessities of life
and laid waste a vast area of The most
productive section of Russia. Per
haps a rigorous winter may be the
best ally the Poles could ask. II they
can keep up the fight until The cold
season begins they may be able TO
defeat Russia without the aid of the
Allies. whose advice the Poles refused
to take, when warned to not attack
the Bolsheviki.
