FOR THE K. X. X.
Predict Terrific BIow at
Republican Chances

The pro-KIan speech of Brig.
Gen. HelI-an'-Mari Charles
Gates Dawes, at Augusta, Me-,
was the most unqualified en-
dorsement of the Ku KIux Khan,
ever made by an American
politician since the hooded or
der became a political factor.
What the effect Of the speech
will have on the fortunes of
the republican party is a mat
ter of conjecture in republican
circles. 1t is interesting to note
that most republican papers
featured his speech as an at
tack on the Klan, which gives
the low down on what editors
who have their ears to the
ground think of it as campaign
ammunition.
The general must be given credit
for speaking his mind. He will, no
doubt, get the Khan vote as a result,
he being the only candidate to come
out and say a kind word for the night
providers. But New England is thickly
peopled with foreigners and natives
whose ancestors reached here long af-
ter the Mayower had degenerated into
dust That they will give the repub-
lican ticket the cold shoulder is as
sumed.
The Dawes speech will no doubt, be
used extensively during the campaign
so we give it here:

n CCORDING to Dawes the main
n objection the Oklahoma Khan
had against Walton was that he ap.
pointed a socialist president of the
University of Agriculture. Walton's
other crimes paled into insignificance
before this most henious one. The al
legged socialist that Walton appointed
would be likely to teach new fashion
ed doctrines which are not those of
constitutional Americanism. There
fore the Khan was perfectly justified
in its actions in Oklahoma. Dawes
did not mention the number Of men
and women who were taken out of
their homes at night, tarred and feath-
cred and in some cases murdered by
this Khan of his.

n MOTHER spot where the Ku Klux
n Khan covered itself with glory is
Herrin, said He'll an Maria. After
the Herrin riots in which several
scabs who terrorized the county were
killed, Dawes gives the Kluxers credit
for marching up to the sheriff and
telling him that they would insist on
the law being enforced. Dawes did
not say that behind these hooded
knights was the Illinois Chamber of
Commerce which called for the blood
of the Herrin miners. He did not
tell of the men who were killed in
Herrin by Glenn Young and his gang
of Khan murderers. Law enforce
ment to Dawes means protecting the
interests of the capitalists. The free
speech provision in the constitution
means nothing to him. He is typi-
cal American Mussolini.
THERE is a Collidge myth that has
been assiduously fostered in the

Governor Writing in Hearst's
international Says Rum
Buyer is an Accessory.

Prohibition is no longer a Ques-
ton of whether the people of Amer
lea want to drink or not, but
whether they want to be nation
of perjurers, forgers, bribers and
lawbreakers in general, according to
Gov. Clifford Pinchot, in the April
issue of Hearst's International Maya
zine.
"Those who indulge themselves, -
he says, ARE violating the law, are
stabbing in the back the country
they profess to love-the country
that, in fact, they do love. Do they
never consider that every drop of
liquor they buy illegally comes to
them tainted with some mans per-
jury, some mans forgery, some
mans bribery, or, perhaps, with all
of these crimes?"
Governor Pinchot maintains that
everyone who buys liquor is an &C.
cessory to these crimes and equally
guilty with the men who actually
commit the crime
He says that prohibition is not a
failure, that the American people
are not tired of it, that the major.
tty is as much in favor of it now
as II was before the passage of the
Volstead law.
1.-THE law would have been re.
spected If Washington itself had
respected it," he charges. Instead,
the word went down the line that
nobody need be afraid to violate it
because the determination Of the
Administration to enforce it was
not very sincere.
