DID FILE STATEMENT

MILWAUKEE,, April 10.-Congress
man w. H. Stafford, Milwaukee at
tacks the Anti-Saloon League of
America and the Anti Saloon League
of Wisconsin for alleged covering up
of campaign expenditures.
AS matter of fact, the Anti
Saloon League of America filed a
statement of it's expenditures, al
though not required to do so under
the law. Not only that, it is the only
national non-party organization which
does file such a statement.
The federal law does not require
state organizations. concerned only
with the election of congressman
from one state to file. Notwithstand
ing this, the Wisconsin Anti-Saloon
League filed it's statement with Con-
gress showing some ten thousand and
fifty dollars received from the Anti
Saloon League of America. The
Wisconsin League sends twelve and
half per cent of it's gross receipts
to the National League. Out OF
this they had paid the Wisconsin
state superintendent salary and
travelling expenses for three years.
This is the only money Wisconsin has
received from outside, and it was not
expended for election purposes. Never
theless, it was filed.
The Wisconsin Anti-SaEoon League
filed statement of its expenses with
Secretary of State H all in spite
of the fact that we did not advocate
Individual candidates, but merely
gave their record and connection
without comment, leaving the voter
free to make his own choice. Sec
rotary of State Hall returned that
statement, declaring that it did not
belong in his office. We then hled
it with the Election Commission, Mil
waukee, which returned it with the
same comment. We then employed
Walter H. Bender, attorney, and ne
induced the Milwaukee Election Com
mission to accept it under protest.
| Since the Anti-Saloon League has
voluntarily filed it's statement, we
respectfully refer Congressman Stat
ford to the records filed and would
suggest that he ask the wet organiza-
tions to file. Have the Camels,
whose national headquarters are In
Milwaukee, filed? If so, where
Where have any of the other thirty
three national wet organizations Ill

Wet and dry organizations are not
the only organizations which ought
to file. The Non-Partisan League

paid in a fee of $18 each, $3.50 OF II

Bright's Disease, With Which
He Had Suffered for Some
Time, Proves Fatal.

Charles B. Sullivan, for over 20
years a resident of Iron River, died
at a few minutes past five o'clock
on Thursday morning, March Both,
at the hospital in Park Falls.
The deceased was barber by
trade and operated shop in this
city for many years. For year
and half he has been employed by
he Park Falls Lumber Company and
continued in that employ until some
time in the winter when his health
became so poor that, he could no
long continue his duties. He con-
suited with physicians in Park Falls
Ashland and elsewhere, but his con-
.dition was such that he received little
encouragement anywhere. For five
weeks he has been in the hospital
and under excellent treatment and
care.
About seventeen years ago, Mr..
Sullivan married Miss Lena Hanson,
of this city, and to them five children
were born, and all survive, Jack,
Nell Rae, Teddy, Robert and Donald.
The funeral was held from the
Congregational church on Sunday
afternoon, an dthe Odd Fellows Lodge

/ The charges of Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor, that w. z. Foster is
an agent of the Communists at Mos
COW, are substantiated by Foster
himself in a signed article appear
ing in a bulletin from the executive
committee of the Red Trade Com
munist International,
The bulletin was published July
II, 1922, in Berlin, Germany, and
has just arrived in the United States,
being circulated to the Communist
press in the United States which Fos-
ter directs, at least in part. The
revolutionary purposes of FosterSand

lowing statement:

left wing movement manifested it.
self. The number of Cleft wing),
delegates was pitifully small and
their influence even less. But the
tendency they represented is the only
hope of the American labor move
ment. They are the only elements
with a progressive program, not to
mention revolutionary program, to
offer. All the rest Is sterility and
reaction. The left-wing movement is
growing rapidly throughout the trade
unions in the United States. The
old idea Of starting separate revo-
lutionary unions is being abandoned.
Particularly is this the case in Can
ada, where the One Big Union has
been practically nquidated in the
past six months and replaced by the
Trade Union Educational League.
Considering the mental paralysis OF
the old trade union leaders and the
servility of their new Socialist allies,
it is safe to say that the Trade Union
Educational League, with it's policy
of industrial unionism, affiliation to
the Red Trade Union International,
the creation of militant workers
political party and the establishment
Of; the Workers Republic, will soon
be- a most powerful element in the
American Labor movement. In the
United States, the future belongs to
