stone of Our Ljberties,''
He Tells Tnd;an;ans

CROWN POINT, Ind, May 1.-The
Soviet rule is an attempt to substitute
rule by one class for rule by all the
people, Governor Frank Q, Low(an, of
Illinois, declared in q speech here to-
day.
1T therefore is an assault upon the
very cornerstone OF our government"
he added. Of allowed to thrive it
would prove fatal to our institutions.
The idea OF government by class takes
different names and soviet is not the
only word which defines it. Some times
it is Industrial Workers OF the World;
sometimes the One Big Union; and
sometimes the Radical Socialist party.
Whatever the name, the menace to our
liberties is equally great.
"Thcre are some who come among us
not to share the blessings of cur Free
government, but to destroy it. They
are coming in increasing numbers.
These cannot be Anne ~icanizcd, but
they can be and should be returned
to the country whence they came"
