we're criticism ana condemnation of the

cance, insincerity and efforts to win
votes thru class appeals.
portion Of the governors speech
was given over to review Of the Kan
sas Industrial court act He said the
nation must take action in wiping out
the quarrel between capital and labor.
Hits National Issues FIRST Time.
Governor Aliens speech here was
his first general discussion Of national
political problems and issues during
the pre- campaign. Altho he has made
many speeches, the Kansas executive
and presidential prospect has devoted
his attention almost entirely to opera
tiOns of the new labor court act in his
state. In charging the Democrats
with class appeal the~goYernor assert
ed the government must accept the re
sponsibility and end industrial warfare.
The Democratic party, with its
usual taste for class appeal. is making
the same bid for the support of radf-
calisnr in Industrial life that it has
made during the entire period of the
present administration" said Governor
Allen. 1T is the appeal that it made
when il gave us the Adamson law and
followed il with series of acts, the
plain intention of which was to en-
pha size the thought that an organized
minority pay coerce government and
obtain privileges which utterly dis
reSafd the rights OF the general pub
lie.
Mars of Radical Menace.
aud nv
.favOritism- there has grown up in this
country class purpose to build out
Of a minority a deliberate purpose OF
intimidation which sets government
at naught The radical leaders think
Of nothing but their own interest. If
allowed TO go on, this destructive phi
losophy would wipe out all that the
ages have builded for society.
ITO meet this dangerous trend, it is
necessary for government to accept
the responsibility of solving in equity
and justice the problems of industrial
warfare which threaten the common
good. In Kansas We have sought to
meet the issue by establishing a court
OF industrial relations. 1t is not a
court of arbitration but a court of jus
tice. As we review the growing quar-
rel between capital and labor. We are
all impressed with the fact that we
have made absolutely no progress to-
ward the provision of a just and order
ly basis of solution"
