Green Answers
Judge Stauffer
ON Communism
Farm Labor Party Officer
B!ames DefIation for Grow
ing Radical Wave-Finds
Russian Laws Favored.

w. Fl. Green, vice president of the
federated farm-labor party. denied
in a speech to the workmen's circle
at the Butchers workmen hall last
night that there were as many com
munist workers in America as has
been said. He also attacked the al
legged statements of Judge Stauffer
in regard to communism.
"It is true there are over a million
communists, who think in the rela
Nebraska jurist's mind. and many OF
them are walking up Farnam street
every day." declared Mr.. Green.
Those communists arc the men who
have lost their savings Of a lifetime
within the last three years and as
they approach go find the poor house
staring them in the face.
THE judge would have the con
stitution emblazoned on every street
corner. Does he assume that inti'
mate knowledge of the constitution
would make sacred the protection OF
its commandments? Those who are
the most proficient in hair splitting
the constitution are the most daring
when it comes to committing per
jury.
Russia does not allow the lawyers
to vote and that gets under the hide
Of the legal advocates. IL might sur
prise some of those gentlemen 10
know that out in the highways and
the byways the population think
quite favorably of the Russian limita-
ton.
I'VE hold no brief for the com
munists. but vigorously oppose some
doctrines they advocate. In reality
there are less than $4,000 commun
lists in America
