"a. Nestos today added his approval
ITO the war being made on certain
classes OF men whom he does not
class az workers but a. men who prey
upon the working classes. While
holding that there HAS been a large
number Of the most excellent work
sfs recruited for the state, the cover
nor also feels that the report Of good
crops has attracted to the state an
elernent which Is not desirable, and his
statement issued today is to assure
the law enforcement officials of the
state that they have the almost pow
or OF the state government WITH them
In dealing with the class OF undesir-
abies.
4 have been rather surprised,''
says the governor In the beginning Of
his statement, 80 see the suggestion,
That In view Of the high grade farm
labor secured this year, an extra ef-
Tort BE Iaade to protect them from

period. \
NY sdvice was 4. to tho treat

not the 1oafers and criminals. I have
no sympathy with the mon who re-
fuse to go out at the splendid wages
onered this year and who persist in
hanging around street corners. rail
road yards and junkles, interfering
with and threatening those who wish
to go out md assist our farmers in
harvest and t%hreshing. Those who are

conduct ana every act scruttnized in

nine cases out Of every ten; he Is an
enemy Of both the farmers ana the
laborer. in spite Of his loud protesta-
tons to the contrary and is in the
q for no good purpose.
Zig Crops Attract Yexss.
1T e. also reported that, attracted
BY our splendid crops, a large num-
Der OF burglars, hold-up men. and
VAAlSAey FulHeFS nave :. INVADED our
state from the large cities to the
south and expect to reap a rich hAr-
vest In money ana merchandise. %
Il desire to call the attention Of
sherlffs. constab les and police officials
to these facts and to suggest that
while they undoubtedly fairly enforce
all the laws Of our state, that for the
protection Of the life, the health and |
the property Of sui people, they keep ;
the jungles clear, rigldly enforce the
laws against vagrancy, Int the car-
rying of concealed weapons. and that
they keep a constant vigil to prevent
and to punish the d~epredations Of the
robbsr. the burglar and the whiskey
runner and seller.
THE administration" concludes
the governor, will support these Of
fcers fully in the full, fair and fear
less discharge of their duties andI
pSsers as police officers under the
laws of our state. 1 believe the attor-
rfey general has already advised local
law officers that they will have the
support Of his office to thu fullest ex-
tent in dealing with law breakers Of
this type.
II also wish to urge upon the bust
ness men and the city and village
officials of our state. thai during the
next three months extra PRECAUTIONS
be taken to guard life and property"
