Solving the Bomb Mystery
The Portland Oregonian has solved the mystery of the
Wall street bombing ontraee-ke all the other evils flesh
is heir to- Oregonian finds due to Cox and the demo-
cratic administration,
It is the direct result of Governor Coxs campaign
the Oregonan his exposure of the huge ush fund raised
by the republicans and his denuncation of Wall street for
attempting to purchase the presidency
The crime lies in the Of sush fund to purchase
seat the give the republican party control
in the expenditure of millions to republican primary
nominations yet in the Boys get the money drive now
progress to purchase the presidency but in the exposure
of the affair Not Newberry, Wood Lowden nor Hays,
Upam and Harding guilty for raising and spending the
money but Cox for telling of it,
President Wilson also responsible because he has not
appointed reaconares office and has failed to deport
every accused agao suspend free speech and abolish free
press Attorney General Palmer went the limit but not far
enough to please reactionares like the Oregonian.
Even Thomas w. Lamont, of the Morgan bank is CEN
sored for suggesting that the explosion might be due to
collision with dynamite truck and the Oregonian declares
his support of the administration to incline him to
seek an explanation which will not reflect on it,"
the explosion the initial move of red terrorsuch
predicted for last May day by the attorney generathe
plot antedated the nomination of Cox but little things
like facts bother the Oregonian during political
campaigns.
"There is close connection between this monstrous
crime and the character and policy of the federal admnstra
on says the Oregonian The connecting links the paper
states the release of conscientious obectors from
Imprisonment prison sentences for desertons by court
W. cospators and their freedom on bail by federal courts
provided by law the receiving of petitions for pardon of
those imprisoned for violation of sedon laws The pardons
have granted-but receiving them encouraged the
dynamiters Last but not least the pardoning of
mailing labor official after serving four months of
years sentence.
The Oregonians Indictment is weghty indeed. The
caused by failure of the administration to suspend
the constitutional rights of citizens and naugurae the
tyranny pracced by the former Yet at the time
Oegonan and it's candidate affect great concern lest the
League of Nations destroy the sacred constitution, which
they themselves would nullify to preserve
The Paramount Issue
The constitution the covenanhat is the paramount
issue-but boys, get the money!
We cannot be governed from both Geneva and Wash
nigton-but boys get the money!
We not follow present chief magistrate without
forsalng the father of countrybut boys, get the
money!
The constitution has failed America and despite
needless assertions the contrary America has failed
the world and before she stands ready-but
boys get the money!
How can we then, in and with confidence, make
sure fulfilling mission earthby doing Kelly did
We must strictly maintain and scrupulously Observe in
letter and spirit the mandates of the consttutioso give
her the gas, step on it!
But boys, get the money.
