CHICAGO. Dec. "a patriotic meet
ing held to-day at noon in the Hotel
La Sale in honor Of Gen. John j. Per-
shing, given under the auspices of the
Chicago Association of Commerce
stampeded after denunciation of Cor
rupt politics" and cheered without in
terruption for many minutes a sugges-
ton that Len Small, Governor Of ILL
nois, be thrown out of office.
The demonstration was the spon-
taneous result of resolution prepared
by Col. p. j. S. Farrell and introduced
by Brig.-Gen. Charles G. Dawes. con-
demning the pardoning of William
Bross Lloyd, millionaire Chicagoan,
and his associate radicals.
This resolution Is to be the sense
Of this meeting" said the General. "And
/ take 1t that there is no time like the
present to make an issue Of corrupt
politics. convict leadership in labor and
similar evils.
He then read the resolution and two
thousand men and women. representing
Chicago's military. commercial. indus
trial. patriotic. and civic organizations
rose to their feet in the widest patriot
ic demonstration seen in Chicago since
the armistice.
Cry for Impeachment.
The cheering went on incoherentiy
for some ten minutes, while the chair
man attempted to restore order Then
from the room arose the cry
"Tmpeach SMALL % Throw him out -
The cheering throng kept up its en-
thusiasm for anothef fve minutes until
at least the General succeeded in max
ing himself heard.
"A move to impeach the Governor
would do no good" he declared. "He
is too strong politically and 1t would
be useless TO attempt to dislodge Linn
with the methods at our disposal"
The Introduction Of the resolution
came as surprise to the large gait err
ing. but the audience had been made
ready for a patriotic whoop-up by a
preceding attack on disloyalists by G.n.
Dawes.
One woman in the rear Of the big
banquet hall rose and shouted
IN the State that come from. Penn
Small by the nape of the neck and drag
him through the streets until the w I'd
was out of him."
The woman, whose identity was not
learned, was joined by at least twenty
other women who supplemented with,
Gov Small Is a traitor" Down with
Small. the friend of the Reds How
much did Small get for pardoning
Lloyd?'
Attack on Government.
The Farrell resolution cited the con-
viction of Lloyd and the salient points
in the charges against him and then
declared that Small has invaded the
judicial part of the Government" In
thus repudiating the finding Of the jury,
of the people. the judgment OF the Su-
preme Court OF the State of Illinois and
the Judgment of the Justice represent
iny the Supreme Court of the United
States"
The resolution ended with note of the
action taken by the Chicago Chapter OF
the Military Order of the Worlds War
and deplored "the attitude and the act
of the Governor of the State of Illinois
IN pardoning William Bross Lloyd and
the other defendants"
I'VE feel" It read, that by such act
he has besmlrched the fair name OF the
people OF the State of Illinois and Of the
United states and has belittled the
force of national loyalty and fealty TO
the nation and In a great measure dis
credits the cause for which many have
passed and their mortal remains lie In
the soil of France"
Gen. Dawes, in his speech preceding
the adoption of the unanimous adoption
of the resolution, charged that Small
had "besmirched the record OF the State
of Illinois and the United States and
double crossed those who gave their
lives in the war"
1--WE need n new breed In Congress, "
he shouted. There are some there who
are willing TO barter the interests OF
the United States for votes.
1.-THE politicians these days are afraid
OF the labor unions. many Of which are
headed by criminals. We needs men
ready to fight"
The remainder OF his speech Gen.
Dawes devoted to towards in Congress
with frequent mention OF Senator La
Toilette
There are a lot OF demagogues In
Congress who have given lot of men
the chance, little by little, to under
mine the Constitution of the United
States" he said. I'VE must replace
these cOWitrdS IN Congress VINO Woulu
murder their country for the sake Of a
few votes"
Gen. Dawes's sentiments were rein
forced by Gen. Pershing, who followed
the former Director of the Budget with
n denunciation of "home foes" and a
warning against the growing potency OF
Government obstructionists, radicals and
the Ku Klux Khan. Gen. Pcrshing BIT
tery criticized Eugene Debs. the social
