SELF AS PILL TO
HEAL FARMERS
Broke Dakotans Hear
Campaign Talk
By ALFRED KNUTSON
fSDeeiaI to The Daily Worker)

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Feb. 2l.--
Hiram johnson, the chewing gum
candidate for the republican nom
nation for president of the United
States, spoke here to a crowded
house.
Most of those who heard him were
disappointed. 1t was expected that
he would go somewhat into detail in
discussing the agricultural situation,
and at least make a little effort at
Offering a solution for the terrible
distress the farmers of the North
west are now in.
Instead he made long -winded, tire
some arguments about the apportion-
ment of delegates to the national re-
publican convention, the Mellon tax
plan, the League of Nations and the
World Court.
Just Tea Talk.
The Teapot Dome scandal, Hiram
said, showed plainly that an "invis-
ible" government was at work, but
he failed to tell us how we were to
rid ourselves Of this menace, other
than suggesting that the whole oily
mess could be remedied by having
the people select him to sit in the
presidential chair.
His solution for the bankrupt con-
dition of the farmers was the pass
age of the McNary- Haugen bill, a
measure that even many conservative
members of congress do not take
seriously, and Hiram himself did not
profess much faith in it because he
told his audience that sit was at
least worthy trying out"
Banker-Lawyer Audience.
The whole question of agriculture
was passed over with but a very few
remarks. 1t is a cinch that this
much heralded progressive" will not
get much support from the farmers
in the Northwest on the strength of
the speeches he is now making. Very
few farmers heard him here, his
audience being made up almost en-
tirely of bankers, business men, law
yers, store clerks, etc.

1.--Questioning Of Harry F. SIN
clair, lessee of Teapot Dome, con-
corning the making Of that lease
with Albert B. Fall, former secre-
tary Of the interior, and financial
transactions with Fall and others
growing out Of the leasing.
2.--Investigation to disclose stock
deals by other government officials
besides Davis Elkins, senator from
West Virginia, who admitted mar
ket operations in Sinclair oil, but
said he had no tip and made no
profit.
Seek Fraud In Lease.
Sinclair Is now regarded by tn,
committee as its star witness. Upor
his testimony also the PresidentS
special counsel, Atlee Pomerene and
Owen J. Roberts, are depending, it j,
said, for the clinching Of their cas-,
showing fraud and corruption in con
nection with leasing of at least on,
Of the oil reserves.
Whether Sinclair's testimony ais,
will provide necessary evidence fol
criminal prosecutions.

GLENN YOUNG COT
$4,000 TO START
W AR IN HERRIN
Rape and Robbery High
Spots in Khan Activity

HERRIN, ILL.,, Feb. 21.-S. Glenn
Young recently announced that he
had severed his relations with Fed
eral Prohibition forces when he came
to HerIin and was given $4,000 by
the Ku Klux Khan to clean up Will
hanson County. The Doodle was
raised by the wealthy business men
and open shop elements Of Herrin
who could not smash the unions in
any other way except thru flank
attack on the foreign-born workers
under the white flag of prohibition.
1t is now known that the Ku Klux
Khan was secretly glad over the
coming Of the militia to Herrin to
save them from the position into
which it was forced BY the lawless
raids on the homes Of foreign-born
workers, their insults to the Catholic
Italians and the rape Of women into
whose homes the hooded morons
broke.
This gang appears to be possessed
of the mentality of Cromwell's Co
venanteers. Headed by clergymen
they chant scriptures and then revel
in debauchery that would shame the
hardened habitues of the Chicago
underworld in the days when vice
fiourished open and unabashed.
Caesar eagle, the policeman who
was killed as he drew his gun ready
to shoot, is now the Khan martyr
but eagle was not distinguished for
moral behavior and it is worthy Of
note that a sister of this shining
light of Klandom was mixed up in
a roadhouse affair which got her into
Joliet penitentiary and while there
received attentions from deputy
that resulted in his occupying Q
prison cell for several years.
The only armed opposition to the
Khan here is an organization called
by the name of the knights Of the
Flaming Circle. 1t is pro-union and
in direct opposition to the Khan on
most everything. The first para
graph in its declaration of principles
runs as follows: "The Knights of
the Flaming Circle believes abso-
lutely in organized labor and will
aid and assist organized labor at any
time in all worthy causes." The Khan
on the contrary is an open shop or
ganization.
The knights Of the Flaming Circle
is not class organization. 1t seeks
to unite ''the labor, business and pro-
fessional elements" in the commun-
ity. II however, prohibits member
ship to anybody who is opposed to
organized labor. Membership is open
to Christians only but differences Of
opinion as to the denomination is
allowed provided the person 'is a
worshipper Of the true God" There
is the rub.
Unlike the Khan the Knights Of
the Flaming Circle is a democratic
organization and holds elections
every six months. It's head In Ora
Thomas, who had q tussle with the
Khan chief of police a few days ago.
Both reached for their hips on sight
and but for the presence of guards
men 1t is probable that another Khan
martyr might be by now a guest in
the celestial kingdom.
At the moment Herrin is tranquil
on the surface but two sets of hos
tile guns are itching to get into
action and they may may begin to
bark on the slightest provocation.

William Hale Thompson, former
mayor Of Chicago, will leave here
July 4 to photograph the singing,
tree-climbing fish Of the Malay archi-

evidence of the gifted fish's exist

"Wild animal pictures have made
mint of money during the last year
or so, and think a moving picture
of a fish climbing a tree will do
likewise" he said.

Wheeler has the Coolidge
crowd and their oil-smeared
allies frightened. They are
ready now to throw Harry
Daugherty overheard at the
Montanan's demand, and they
will yield others to public in

tinues to gather the informal
ton that the government
should have gathered six
months ago.
Stock Gambling Leaks Out.
After Denby's resignation
was made public Feb. IS, it
was revealed that no less a per-
sonage than Senator Borah had
learned of the case against
Daugherty in connection with
stock market deals and had
gone to the White House and
demanded that Coolidge COM
pei Daugherty to get out of the
cabinet.
He told the president bluntly that
the country had no confidence in
Daugherty. that such a man at the
head Of the department of justice
would make victory in the coming
election impossible, and that the hour
for his going had arrived.
Coolidge presently called Daugh-
srty into the room, confronted him
with Borah, and asked the Idaho
senator to repeat what he had said.
Borah repeated. Daugherty became
angry and ugly, defying the senate
OF any senator to tell him whether
he should remain in the administra-
ton. Borah walked out.
Coolidge then talked with Old
Guard chiefs, and a group Of them
went TO see Daugherty at his home,
and tried to persuade him to quit.
He refused. They warned him that
he party was in danger. He stood
rat. They knew that he would be
lore dangerous, if he decided to
light them openly. So they went
