LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Dec. 30.-In a
statement given to the Associated
Press Gov. -elect 7. C. McRae de-
clared he was "unalterably" opposed
Ito senate confirmation of the three
corporation commissioners appointed
by Governor Brough last week, and
to joint confirmation by the senate
and house of Finn Craig, recently APP
pointed O member of the peniten-
tiary commission.
MIR. McRae declared further that
whatever suspicious any of us may
have had heretofore regarding the
Arkansas corporation commission are
now being confirmed" by the fever
ish activity" looking to the confirma-
ton by the senate of the newly ap-
pointed corporation commission
members.
Il consider this law and its opera
tion," Mr.. McRae said in speaking of
the corporation commission law, the
most dangerous usurpation of the
peoples powers and rights ever en-
acted in this state"
OF the activities in behalf of the
corporation commission members Mr..
McRae said:
ut is a well recognized fact that
their scheme involves much more
than the mere confirmation of these
three professional politicians. have
been given to understand that If
will let the corporation commission
alone the, gang will not oppose other
parts of my program. They are very
kind.
"Thi sis the same gang that has de-
stroyed the last two administrations.
If they destroy mine they will have
to do 1t without me a party to it."
Mr.. McRae's program provides for
abolition of the corporation commits
sion, the penitentiary commission, the
state board of control (of elemosy-
nary institutions) and the state high
way commission.

BITTERLY OPPOSE
MENNONITE PLAN
Determined Fight Organized
to Contest. Invasion of
10000 Members Of Sect
Coming From Canada.
Especial % The News soimitarl

JACKSON, Miss, Dec, 30.--The
proposed invasion OF South Missis-
,sippi by 10000 Canadian Mennonites,
who have secured options on nearly
100000 acres Of cutover pine lands
in that section Of the state has be-
come an International question.
Advices reach here from Wash
ington that the state department has
instituted an official inquiry con-
corning the desirability of the Men
rionites, action being based on the
vigorous protest filed a few days
since by the Mississippi division OF
the American Legion.
Information has also been received
from Senator Pat Harrison that he
has taken up the matter with state
department officials, and will keep
the American Legion officials fully
advised as to developments.
The question is not only Of local in
terest, but to the entire South, and the
American Legion officers here have
communicated with the organization
officers in other states urging them
to join in the effort to repel what
they regard as q most undesirable
invasion.
While the colony headed for Mis-
sissippi, coming from the vicinity of
Winnipeg, contains only about 10000
members, men, women and children,
authentic advices from Canada state
that there are 100000 Mennonites in
the dominion who are dissatisfied
with the restrictions being imposed
on them and the hostility shown
since they refused to do their part in
the world war, and they are all fig
uring on moving to the Southern
states.
Dr. Ira L. Parsons, of Brookhaven,
state commander OF the American
Legion, is outspoken in his opposi-
ton to the Mennonites.
IF they are undesirable in Canada.
they are equally undesirable in the
United States, and particularly in
Mississippi" he said. ...
"There is no room on our soil for
conscientious DIRECTORS, especially a
people who teach only the German
language in their schools, and we
will use every means at our COM
mand to prevent their coming into
this state"
CLAIM H. Smith, state adjutant of
the American Legion, today tele-
graphed to the commissioner OF I'M
migration of Canada asking for COM
plete and authentic information con-
corning the Mennonites, especially
their record during the world war.
The information in hand at legion
headquarters here covering the sub
ject is fairly complete, but the legion
officials desire TO have it from an
official source.
kilograms have also been sent to
states in the Northwest bordering on
Canada to secure authentic intorma-
ton concerning their experience with
the Mennonites, and all of this data
will be forwarded to Washington to
be presented to the state depart
ment.
