shing. who wound up n busy day
in Chicago tonight by sending
broadcast through the air a de-
mand for suppression of radicals
and plea for more patriotism and
strong army to defend the United
States.
The same speech, delivered ear
lier in the day at patriotic
luncheon of the Association OF
! Commerce, brought l,500 men and
women to their feet cheering the
general. They not only endorsed
his sentiments, but by a rising vote
adopted a resolution proposed by
General Charles G. Dawes, former
director of the budget, declaring
that Governor Len Small had be
smirched the fair name of the state
of Illinois and of the United
States" when he commuted the
sentences of William Bross Lloyd,
millionaire communist and of IL
of his associates.
Visits Hospital
! General Pershing, following the
/ luncheon, visited Speedway hospl-
tai. where he sounded the same
note of patriotic service in an ad-
dress in the recreation hall before
hundreds of wounded soldies.
I Tonight the general spoke again
on patriotism at the dinner of the
1 America Horse Show society,
4 broadcast his speech via wire
/ less telephone and visited the
horse show at the DreXel pavilion.
! He left at II o'clock for Culver,
! Ind, where tomorrow he will re-
view the cadets of the military
academy there before returning to
/ Washington.
/ The commerce ASSOCIATION
/ luncheon was startled when Cen
eral Dawes, without previous in
i timation of his purpose, read the
resolution condemning the Illinois
governor As he called for ris-
ing vote, there were cries Of inn
peach him." 1t was several min
utes before order could be restored.
"a move to impeach the gov
ernor would do no good" General
Dawes said when he could make
himself heard. "He is too strong
politically and 1t would be useless
to attempt to dislodge him with the
methods at our disposal
/ The governor, the resolution
read. has invaded the judicial part
of the government in thus repudi-
atlng the finding of jury of the
people. the judgment of the su-
preme court of Illinois, and the
/ Judgment of the justice represent
! ing the supreme court of the Unit
( ed states.
General Dawes developed his
speech to condemnation OF COW
ards in congress-
Lots of DcmagOgues
"There are a lot of demagogues
/ in congress who have given lot
of men the chance, little by little
to undermine the constitution OF
the United States" he said. we
must get a new breed of men in
place of those towards in congress-
who would murder their country
for the sake of few votes"
General Pershing, in his open
ing remarks, took notice of the at
tack on him by Eugene Debs, IN a
speech before socialist gather
ing here ten days ago.
"When a man." said the general
'who has been convicted and sent
| to prison for his seditious senti-
ments, proceeds after his release
to take the public rostrum, and
when that man, defending the
principles of sovietism, is given
an ovation, by 5000 or 1000 per-
sons. what have the people of Chi
cago to say about it?
"When these traitors tell us &c
stop war by refusing to buy Lib
erty bonds, must we take their in,
science? I'll answer. No, vel
not take 1t.
"Has the Herrin massacre or the
Injecting of the communist party III
1.-The Michigan woods no meaning
for us? Read the pacifist pledge
signed by 1900 men, calling upor
youth of America to be traitors
TO her in her hour of need. i
we are wide awake we will take
action in a case of this sort"
