SURE OF GETTING
REDS, CHIEF SAYS

New York, Sept. IS - Confidence
that the american anarchist fight
ers" who are believed now to have
caused the disastrous bomb explosion
in Wall Street last Thursday, would
be brought to justice, was expressed
today by William J. Flynn, chief of
the Bureau of Investigation of the
Department of Justice
Chief Flynn, who has charge of the
federal investigation under the per-
sonal supervision of Attorney General
Palmer, said he was certain from the
similarity Of circulars found in a mail
box near Wall Street at the time of
the explosion to those found at the
scene of various bomb explosions in
June. 1919, that the same crowd of
terrorists was responsible for both
outrages.
eve had solved the mysteries of
in bringing the criminals to justice
when Alfredo Sa1esedo, whom we
were OBTAINING in the New York Office
of the bureau, jumped from a four
and committed suicide" said Flynn
THAT tipped our hand and the crowd
got safely out of the country before
we could nab them.
Now in this case we have much
more to work upon at the start The
similarity of the circulars make avail
able all our knowledge of the gang
who committed the outrages last year.
Most of this information has never
been made public. and it would not be
wise to reveal it now. We even es-
| tablished the identity of one anarch-
list who was killed by his own bomb
| in last years explosion with much less
| evidence than we have in the present
case"

REP UBLICANS
Get READY FOR
A FAMILY ROW

Definite announcement of the proce-
dure to be followed by the Mayor
Wilson regime in it's fight against
John Leonard, Republican town
chairman, as result of the latter'S
action in busting six of the district
chalrmen in spite of ultimatums that
they be retained, was not forthcoming
at City Hail today. An air of mystery
seemed to have~Suddenly settled down
upon the administrative sancturn, but
there was no misunderstanding the
antagonlstic attitude which is to
eventually grow into a state of open
warfare between the Leonard and
Wilson factions.
That a breach of the widest pro-
portions has occurred in the so-caIled
well-oiled Republican machine is ap-
parent from all sides, and secret con-
fabs and plots are the rule. Without
committees in the various districts, as
we'll as an executive advisory COM
mittee which will function the same
as the present town committee, will
be put through within the next day
Or two.
Under this plan it is said the friends
of the administration will carry on an
entirely separate campaign for the
success of the Republican State ticket,
and every effort will be made to dis
tinguish the point that the work is
in no way affiliated with the cam
paign conducted by Town Chairman
Leonard and County Commissioner
Frank Ballard.
An indignation meeting was held
by the Tenth district club last night,
and while no definite action was
taken, the attitude is said to have
been antagonistic to Leonard's new
appointee, Edward Seery.
Leonard's new town committee
held an organization meeting last
night electing Frank Ballard treas
urer to succeed William E. Seeley.
The new list of officers are:
Secretary. Col. M. H. Rogers; as
sistant secretary, J. T. Melody; treas
urer, F. E. Ballard; executive com
mittee, Col. NJ. H. Rogers, Elmer H.
Havens, F. E. Ballard, Charles c.
Blackham and w. E. Primrose.

MERRITT NAMED
BY REPUBLICANS
Continued from Page one.)


You will agree. I am sure, that
there never has been time when
members of Congress both in the SEN
ate and the House have greater need
for wisdom and intelligence and cour-
age.
With the whole world in a ferment
and millions on the verge of starva-
ton, with every civilized nation under
a staggering debt, with questions of
labor, of tariffs, Of education. of for
eign relations. of proper and loving
care of those wounded or incacpaci-
tated by the war. it is evident that the
administration and Congress will need
the best Intelligence and the closest
study which can be given to these
problems SO fundamental to the pros
perity and even to the stability of our
beloved country.
1t is on this point that it can do no
harm to refresh our memory with
frequent reference to the league, par
ticularly to Article x. which the pres
ident claims as his very own.
Now, the Republicans and nearly
half the Democrats in the Senate did
not believe either in permitting a for
eign council to declare war on behalf
of the United States, or in permitting
a single United States representative
in the council to vote the United
States into a moral obligation to de-
clare war without the consent of Con-
gress. So they adopted the well
known reservations Numbers and 5
which make the action of Congress
condition precedent to any action of
anybody or any individual which
could in any way compromise the
United States on the question of war
or the question of the Monroe Doc
trine.
All this does not mean that the
United States or the Republican
party is not mindful of it's world OBJ
legation or its world duties This is
made perfectly clear in Senator
Harding's speech of acceptance and
his second great speech on this
special subject delivered on August
2Sth. The country and the Republi-
can party has over a long period of
years and in many important in
stances shown its sense of its respon-
sibilities and its acceptance of them.
In view of my public record I need
not say how I rejoice that justice has
at length won in the matter of the
suffrage.
do not propose to address any
special remarks to them as women,
because I believe that as they now
take their place with the general
body of free electors they will con-
slider broad questions of public policy
in a broad way. They will not try
to punish any man for any position
| honestly taken on past or settled
question, but rather they will take
| their part in helping to put in power
| that party which history shows as on
| the whole done most for unity, peace
| and the prosperity of our beloved
! country.

K|WAN|ANS HEAR
GOOD TALKS At
MONDAY LUN CkEON

Numerous laugh provoking stories
added materially to the enjoyment
Of the regular Kiwanis luncheon at
the Chamber of Commerce today
Each speaker seemed to have new
funny story ready and applied them
nicely to the subjects at haand.
Judge Barret, of Hugo, made a
thoroughly appreciated talk in which
he complimented Ardmore because OF
the fact that the citizens are not only
building up the city from n material
standpoint but that they are also
looking after the moral and religious
upbuildlng Of the city. He also stated
that Ardmore, like Hugo, has had
considerable Stree advertising" which
was not OF desirable nature, and
that his original opinion of the city
lad been based upon these reports,
but that after coming to the city his
opinion has changed materially and he
thinks great deal of the city.
III. T.. Henley, Of the American
Cities Bureau, made an inspiring ap-
peal for the Kiwanis Club and all
citizens in general to stand together
now In the same united effort which
won the war. He said that all pin
faith to the age old principle OF
getting together, but that now men
get together with more intelligence
than formerly, and that the commu'
nifty unity and community spirit are
the things which give value to every
foot Of ground on the business streets.
Barney Horrigan. OF Tulsa, was
introduced as q guest and presented a
story Of real wit.
Another guest OF the club was Mr.
Butler OF Hugo, court stenographer
IN tho present session over which
judge Barret has been presiding

structiye work committee OF the club,

The committee has not as yet COM
pleted It's research work. and Mr.

vear. submit them to either himself
or Don Lacy for the consideration OF
