be surprising If Long would receive
in the neighborhood of 5000 and Reed
$500, although that proportion looks
a little high in Longs favor. How
ever, the sentiment against Reed in
rural Jackson County apparently is
about as strong as in other sections
Of the State, where it is generally be-
lieved to be about 2 to 4.
4Of the approximately 22,5OO votes
which it is expected will be cast In
Kansas City, Reed, according to con-
servative estimates, can expect about
1000, while Long can expect about
$500. On this basis Reed would have
4 majority Of 1850 ii the city and
Long a majority Of $500 in the coun-
ty Of about 5000 in the county al d

UNDER the law, election judges
may require a voter to take an oath
that he will vote the same ticket in
the general election that he votes in
the primary. The Long forces will
control the selections Of nearly all
the Democratic election officials in
the rural districts Of the State, the
County Committeeman with few ex-
ceptions being Long supporters. The
County Court, which selects the cleo
ton officials, is required to choose
them from a list submitted by the
party committeeman. With Longs
friends as election officials, the ex-
pectation is that any Republican who
attempts to vote in the Democratic
primary will be challenged. In the

MR.. LONGS SPEECH

THE campaign address Of Brock
inridge Long, candidate for the demo-
cratic nomination as U. s. Senator,
delivered in Mexico Thursday even
ing, was a concrete example of con-
structive political speaking in behalf
Of the welfare of his party as we'll
as in the interest Of his own candi-
dacy.
1t was a dignifed disposition of
pertinent facts, free from demagog-
cry, with no effort to wrest the honors
from the champion in a long distance
m~ud-slinging contest.
Mr.. Long had a splendid, represen-
tative audience, he was given an at
tentive and interested hearing and
there is no question but that what
he had to say impressed everyone
present. 1t was particularly notice
able that his audience had not the
air of one gathered to witness a
vaudeville program, it was a body
of men and women intent on hearing
a real democratic address whose
purpose was not only to defend the
party policies but to present, with
dignity and truth, his candidacy tx
represent his party in the u. S. Sen.
ate as he bellows the democrats d
Missouri wish TO be represented ant
as custom . and the best politica'
usages decree regardless of one Of
two glaring exceptions.

THE LEDGER'S
PLATFORM FOR AUDRAIN
More permanently improved high
E THE REPUBLICAN.

so far Jim Reed has made no reply
to the testimony secured in Wisconsin
from Democratic State Chairman
Hume in which the latter says Reeds
visit to Wisconsin in the last cam
paign was in behalf of LaFollette
republican candidate and not the
democratic ticket. This action Of
Reeds was certainly in line with his
fight on democracy through his an
tagonism to Wilson and the demo-
cratic administration from 1917 to
1920.
Along this line the St. Louis Star
~editorially says:
But what is he doing now? Is he
trying to secure the nomination? It
looks very much as if he had but one
present motive, to make it impossible
for Mr.. Long to be elected after he
is nominated. Is it not a fact that
Senator Reed has given up all hope
Of a victory for himself in August,
and is campaigning today for the Re-
publican candidate for senator, who
eyer he may be?
"0r if he has any hope of success,
is it not based on the hope of sup
port from Republicans in the Demo-
cratic primary? To whom are his
appeals directed? Let a Reed aud
fence be composed of 1000 Demo
Gratis and 1000 Republicans, and
which group will feel the more impell
ed to cheer his utterances? Even Mr..
Reeds friends must admit that the
1000 Republicans will shout with
jubilation atthe contents Of the sem
ator's speech. But what about the
1000 Democrats? Will they feel the
same way about his attacks on Pres
ident Wilson? If, in such an aud
fence, LOO people applaud him, they
will be 1000 Republicans and 100
Democrats and SO of the later will be
Democrats who voted for Harding
and Spencer in 1920 because Senator
Reed had turned them against their
party ticket.
"This year, however, all Senator
Reed will get from the Republicans
is applause. They are not in a pos
ition to deliver votes in the primary,
on account of the hot fight that is de-
veloping on the Republican ticket,
and the voters of that party would
take equal joy in shouting for Reed
before the primary and voting against
him in the general election"

ty alleged communists charged with
plotting to overthrow the govern
ment of the United States by force
will be arraigned today in the first
test of Michigan's anti-syndicalism
law, passed as a wartime measure.
Sixteen Of the twenty men ar
rested August % when authorities
swooped down on a wooded glen near
Bridgeman and interrupted what
the government charges was the ma
tional convention Of the communist
party in America,
Between seventy and eighty radi-
Gals had been in attendance at the
meeting. in the wild dune county
along the shore of Lake Michigan
The government agents claim but all
of sixteen fled before the raiders ar
rived. Three men, including W. T.
Foster, of steel strike fame, were
later arrested at Chicago and extra
dited. A farmer boy whose curios-
ity had led him to spy on the wodo-
land meeting told the raiders the
men arrested had buried something
in the woods and he led them to the
spot where they dug up three barrels
filled with typewriters, duplicating
machines, papers, manuscripts, re-
ports, stationery and printed propa-
ganda of the communist party.
Today's hearing will be prelim-
mary arraignment before Judge Ray
W. Davis, a hearing which CORE,
sponds to grand jury action in some
states.
Eleven of the defendants have
been confined in the Berrien county
Jail here since the raid, unable to
raise the $4,000 bonds demanded.
Federal agents who watched the
gathering of the defendants report
ed that Frank P. Walsh, Of Kansas
City, noted labor attorney, was with
them.

Mount Clemens, Mich, Oct. IL
Aeronautical engineers and army

were speculating today as to what
might be the next unheard-of aerial
feat. They came here week ago
prepared for surprises, but none had
expected to see huban being plunge
through space at nearly four hun
dred feet a second, nor had they ex-
pected to see an aeroplane flown
virtually without the aid of wings.
This was the performance yester-
day of Lieutenant R. L. Vaughan, of
the army, who Saturday won the Pu-
liter Aero Classic. Flying a Cur
tiss-Army biplane, Lieutenant
Maughan yesterday travelled one Kill
ometer at the rate of 24S.5 miles an

miles the previous official record and
making the distance 2S miles an
hour faster than any unrecognizeG

Distressing Scenes At
tend Wanderings of
Refugees
HAVE NO FIXED OBJECT
Thousands Become Wan
dererS on the Face of
the Earth

Adrianople, Oct. 17.-Thirty thou
sand Greeks and Armenians have
passed from this city to the west
since Saturday, and the road between
here and the Martha river is an I'M
broken line of men, women and chill
dren, with OK carts, cattle and cam
els.
! Through a steady downpour of rain
they are plodding doggedly toward
their unknown destinations, driven
forward by the nameless fear which
has gripped the whole populace of
Eastern Thrace since the govern
ment's bulletins were posted Satur-
day, announcing the terms of the
Mudania armistice, which provided
for occupation of the province by the
Turks within As days.
Members of the allied mission sta
toned here declared the extent of the
refugee exodus indicates that the
Turks upon their entry will find
Eastern Thrace almost uninhabited.
The procession has been orderly,
but the misery of the refugees is al
ready extreme and pneumonia will
claim many victims if the present in
clement weather continues. The
Americans in charge of the Little
Near East relief soup kitchen at the
railwya junction, on the opposite side
of the Martha, declared:
"In all my experience I have never
imagined such pitiable sight as the
march from Adrianople in the driv-
ing rain. Every refugee arrived
soaked to the skin, with a wagon
load of bedding floating in water"
Perhaps never in the eighteen
hundred years of its stormy history
has Adrianople witnessed such
scenes.
When, on Saturday, the Greek civ
il authorities attempted to reassure
the people by stating that the Turk
ish gendarmarie would not arrive for
fifteen days, the Christian inhab-
itants simply refused to believe them.
Nearly every Christian family in
Adrianople gathered up all they
could carry, either on their backs or
on OK carts and were off.
