AMERICA FOR AMERICANS.
Ex-senator Salisbury Expresses Himself
On the RED" Menace.

In an interview with representative
of the Capital Press Bureau of Washing
ton, ID. G., ex-senator Willard Salisbury
said:
We have welcomed people Of all
nations who have come here to become
Americans and law-abiding citizens. Those
of a different class, can however, be as
sured we have not welcomed anybody
to oppress us. Americans are satisfied
with their government and propose To so
remain. There are hot-headed Bolshe-
visits and dilettante Socialists whose
weak minds lean TO any idea that can
be put into their heads by fanatics.
The foreigners who come here to make
trouble and interfere with the ordinary
processes of our government will be re-
lentlessiy exterminated
Public opinion in America will sup
port the vigorous enforcement of laws
to maintain our American standards.

|McNary Bill Stops
Cases Against Omaha
Zone Sugar Brokers

United States District Attorney
Thomas S. Allen announced in
Omaha yesterday there is little pros
pect OF charges being pressed
against three beet sugar brokers of
the Omaha district, against whom
he heard evidence here two months
ago.
Dealers testified these three brok-.
ers completely controlled the beet
sugar supply in the Omaha zone and
we're supplying only favored custo-
mers," Mr.. Allen said. "A month
after the Omaha hearing was held,
and before action on the cases had
been taken by Department OF Jus
tice officials. congress passed the
McNary bill abolishing the sugar
zoning system. Dealers in this ter
ritory may now buy sugar anywhere
and the alleged restrictive combina-
ton of sugar brokers loses much Of
its power"
Mr.. Allen said federal agents were
still collecting evidence of alleged
proiteering by Nebraska coal and
clothing dealers and that 4 large
amount of evidence was, ready for
presentation to the next federal
grand jury. No Omaha firms arc
involved. he said.

Plan Reclamation of
West and South Land
Through Bond Issues

Washington, Feb. l9.-Reclama-
ton of unused lands in the west and
south through bond issues, operating
similar to the federal farm loan sys-
tenn, would be authorized by a bill
introduced by Senator Fletcher
democrat, Florida. A similar meas
ure will be offered in the house Fri
day by Representative Smith, repub-
lican, Idaho.
Under the plan $20,000,000 worth
of bonds would be sold the, first
year, $30,000,000 the second, $4,000
900 the third and $50000,000 the
fourth. with a total not exceeding
$550,000,000.
The measurer represents the con-
cert action of the south and the west
for great national rather than a
sectional plan. The southern inter
ests, including the governors OF
states and officials of the Southern
Commercial congress, met here last
month and evolved a bill which the
Representatives of the west, under
the craftsmanship of Governor Davis
of Idaho, later approved. Former
Governor Spry of Utah has re-
NAMED in Washington in charge OF
the legislative program of the west
The Southern Commercial con-
gress estimated that the program, il
adopted, would make feasible the re-
clamation of 100000 to 100000
acres of land by the end of the tenth

Grand Island Man Seeks
Nomination by Republicans

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. l9.-(Special.)
III. L. Mclaughlin of Grand Island
today filed with the secretary of state
for the republican nomination for
governor of Nebraska.
He announced himself against the
present code bill and pledged his eff
torts to restore the management of
state affairs to the regular constitu'
tonal officers. He likewise aligned
himself in favor of free speech, the
right of the individual to worship
God as his own conscience dictates.
the right of peaceable assembly, and
freedom of the press:
Mr. Mclaughlin also said: II am
persuaded that the, question of law
enforcement is the most important
matter now before the people. We
need, by the example of forcefu,,
respect-commanding administration,
by education, and by means of the
wholesome aid of all religious and
civic organizations, revival of that
patriotism which shall inculcate a
more general and clearer conception
of the blessings of organized So
ciety as compared with the laws of
the jungle"
