AGAINST KVALE
Court Decides That vo|stead Is
G. O. P. Nominee.
Holds kvaIe Guilty of Violating Cor
rupt Practices Act BY Calling
Opponent Atheist.

st. Paul-Rev. o. ]. Kvale of Ben
son, candidate for Congress in the
Seventh district, was adjudged guilty
of having violated the corrupt prac-
tees act by referring to his opponent,
Congressman Andrew J. Volstead, as
an atheist" and his nomination was
annulled, in a decision handed down
by Judge Albert Johnson of Red Wing.
Congressman Volstead automatically
is made the regular Republican nom
inee. Judge Johnson held that such
charges, made by a minister of the
Gospel" whose word could we'll be
taken as true under ordinary circum-
stances, would naturally lead to dis
aster for his opponent.
The decision was rendered in the
case brought by 40 voters of the
seventh district charging that Mr..
Kvale had violated the corrupt prac-
tees act by referring to Congressman
Volstead as an atheist" The case
was heard at Benson by Judge John
son, who was assigned there when the
local judge asked to be relieved.
Such charges made in a Christian
and God fearing community like the
Seventh district by a minister of the
Gospel, whose word could well be
taken as true under ordinary circum-
stances, would lead to disaster and de-
feat of the opposing candidate" said
Judge johnson in his memorandum.

home through crowded streets, a tired

PROTEST AGAINST DENIAL
Of CIVIL LIBERTY TO CITIZENS

New York.-The American Civil
Liberties union yesterday issued a
statement defining it's position on the
wholesale denial Of civil rights in the
United States today. The statement
sets forth the application Of the prin-
ciple of freedom of opinion to all the
methods of suppression now in effect.
1t is intended not only to define the
organizations position but to formu-
late standards helpful to all others ac-
tive in the fight for civil rights. Fol
lowing are two salient paragraphs in
the statement:
1. Free Speech.
There should be no control whatever
In advance over what any person de-
sires to say. The right to meet and
to speak freely without permit should
be unquestioned. No restrictions os.
tensibly, but not really, in the interest
of traffic should serve to prohibit
meetings in public places. The fullest
freedom of speech should be encour,
aged by setting aside special places in
streets or parks and in the use OF
public buildings, free of charge, fol
public meetings of any sort.
There should be no prosecutions fol
the mere expression of opinion on
matters of public concern, however
radical, however violent. Laws pur.
porting to prevent the advocacy Of the

GRAIN OUTLOOK BRIGHTER
Officials Would Move Wheat Promptly
Keeping Bread Prices Down.

Keeping Bread Prices Down.
Washington-Despite bitter com.
plants of heads Of farmer associations
and. those Of individual farmers, gov.
eminent officials here take a hopeful
view of the nations ability to move
the wheat crop, which now is being
harvested.
Whether predictions of soaring
bread prices next winter are to be
borne out or whether bread prices will
fall is being determined by the course
OF events now, it is recognized here.
If farmers and elevators are forced to
hold their wheat, pay storage, demur.
rage and high interest rates, bread
will go up. If the crop can be moved
promptly this upward tendency should
be prevented and prices even may be
driven downward.
With a crop of 500, 900, 900 bushels
of wheat promised the car shortage
problem and the labor shortage prob.
lem are now the crux of the struggle
to get the wheat crops to the markets,
officials here say.

overthrow Of the government by force
or violence" are all violations of the
right of free speech. The expression
of all opinions, however obnoxious,
should be tolerated.
2. Free Press.
There should be no censorship over
the mails by the psstoffice or any
other agency at any time or in any
way. Privacy of communication should
be sacred. Printed matter should
never be subject to a political censor
ship. The granting or revoking of
second class mailing privileges should
have nothing whatever to do with a
papers opinions and policies.
1t libelouS, fraudulent, or other lille
gal matter is being. circulated, it
should be seized by proper warrant
through the. prosecuting authorities
not by the postoffice department. The
business of the postoffice department
is to carry the mails, not to investi
gate crime OF to act as censors.
There should be no control over thu
distribution of literature at meetings
on hand to hand in public or in pr
vate places. No system of license.
for distribution should be tolerated.

EXPORT EMBARGO ON COAL
Urged BY MCGEE To Relieve Shortage
In United States.

New York-An embargo on domestic
coal shipments and a temporary halt
ing of shipments to Europe as a step
to relieve the shortage in the United
States, were advocated here by G.. f.
MCGEE, state fuel administrator Of
Minnesota, testifying at the second
hearing of the Senate committee on
reconstruction and production. MI.
MCGEE declared the railroads are par
TALLY to blame for the coal shortage
by an inclination to accept iron and
steel shipments in preference to coal
because of greater profits.
Mr.. MCGEE told the committee mine

COoPERATORS
LAUNCH A BANK.
Georgia Farmers Adopt Idea
First Evolved in North
Dakota.

Atlanta, Ga.-Evidently the Nonpar-
tisan League program finds a respon-
sive chord in Georgia, for an an
nouncement- was made today that the
farmers will go into the banking bust
ness on a cooperative scale. Their
purpose is to eventually be their own
masters and show Big Business ex-
actly where to get off.
Governor Hugh M. Dorsey has taken
the lead in organizing the banks. The
farmers under his direction will bor-
row money from themselves instead
of fawning upon financiers and ulti-
mately falling into the clutches Of
these sharks.
Georgia would now be a fertile field
for Nonpartisan League organizers.
"Class consciousness" among the
farmers and other exploited elements
is developed more here than in any
other section of the South. During
the recent Democratic primaries this
spirit of unrest and discomfort came
to a head, Tom Watson leading the
insurgent wing Of the party which re-
belled against the domination of A.
Mitchell Palmer and other representa-
| tives of the old school.
Governor Dorseys, sees the hand.
writing on the wall and is making an
earnest effort to route Big Business.
He has sold 100000 worth of stock
for the cooperative bank already. The
500 shares sell for $125. The bank
will be capitalized at $1,000,00O. A
surplus Of $25O.000 will be raised as a
result of the extra $25 on each share.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

'And so the people of the United States have made up
their minds to do a healthy thing for, both politics and big
business. Permit me to mix a few metaphors: they are
going to open doors; they are going to let up blinds; they
are going to drag sick things into the open air and into the
light of the sun. They are going to organize a great hunt,
and smoke certain animals out Of their burrows. They are
they hunted they were caught by the beast instead of
catching him. They have determined, therefore, to take an
axe and raze the jungle, and then see where the beast will

but the enemies of mankind. Woodrow Wilson on page
