Spoke from Same Plat
form With Glenn Young

(Sneeiai 20 The Daily Workerl
HERRIN, Ill.,, Jan. 26.-Ths
refusal of Len Small to re-
nounce the support of the Ku
KIux Khan and to stop the MUIR
derous career of the ex-depart-
ment of justice agent and khan
leader, S. Glenn Young, is re-
sponsible for the latest fatal
khan outbreak here.
Len Small still Silent.
During the November election cans
paign Small willingly accepted tho
support of the ku kIux khan and Of
Young, at that time virtual dictator
of Herrin.
Small spoke from the same platforms
as Young, secured the use CT the state
fair grounds at Springfield for khan
picnic, and went so far as to loan
the khan cavalry horses belonging to
the federal government which were in
the states keeping.
Even now, after over a score OF
miners have been murdered by the
ku klux khan in southern Illinois.
Small refuses to renounce the support
OF the khan, and countenances khan
murders of union miners by his silence
and his refusal to wipe out the
menace of the khan gunner in Herrin.
Glenn Young was a professional
gunman, who demanded a living from
his supporters in return for his abili-
ty to murder, his death reveals. Young
became famous as department Of
fJdstfce 3geht where ne hadP ample OPP
portunity to display his skill at muir
dering defenseless men. Young died
as he lived, entering the danger zone
only when he outnumbered his enemy
fourteen to one.
Some Ministers Praise Murderers.
The ministers in Herrin were un.
animous in praising the murderer in
their Sunday sermons. Rev. P. r.
Glotfelty, Of the first methodist
church, praised Young in his sermon
and declared he had died "a martyrs
death" Glotfelty allowed the khan to
use his church as an arsenal, and ap-
peared as witness at the coroner's
inquest for Harry Herrin and other
klansmen who last August attacked
a group of deputy sheriffs and miners,
and were beaten back after three Of
their number had been killed. Every
protestant minister in town is known
to be a member of the khan, and these
e. -
to race hatred at the khan meetings
and picnics at which they act as the
speakers.
The ku klux khan Of Illinois brought
Glenn Young to Herrin and supplied
him with funds to make raids on
miners who were known to be opposed

DOWNFALL OF SHAH
HELD NO SURPRISE:
London, However, Had Not
Expected Overthrow of
Persian Dynasty.
BY the Associated Press.

Dy tne AesOCldttu fTeSs
LONDON, November 2.-The depo-
sition of the Shah of Persia by The
Persian National Assembly for
sake of the national welfare" caused
no surprise here but the action of
the Mejiss on Saturday III overthrow
ing the dynasty had not been eX-
peCted. The succession Of some mem
Der of the family frequently had been
suggested when reports of the i'm
pending dethronment OF Sultan
Ahmed Mira kajar, the 27-year-old
Shah, We're current.
Some doubt is expressed as to
whether the abolition of the dynasty
represents the feeling among the
Persians, who are said to have the
theoretical conception that the mon
archy was strong. The voice of the
people. it is thought here, will pos
sihly be heard on this point as soon
as elections to the announced con-
Stituent assembly begin.
Premier Regarded Weak Man.
Much, however, seems likely to de-
pend on Premier ReZa Khan VINO Is
regarded as not a strong man, but
possessed both of strategy and state
craft. He likely will sound public
opinion respecting the form OF the
new government This, it is said, he
can afford to do, as it is Virtually
certain he Will retain all real power
an Persia in any case.
There is a rumor in London that
ReZa has seized the throne himself,
but this cannot be confirmed. a dis
patch to the Morning Post from Te-
heran. the Persian capital, reports that
the former crown prince left the city
Saturday for Paris, accompanied by
detachment Of soldiers. The dis
patch adds that everything was quiet,
and that the city was to be illumlnat-
ed for three nights as a sign of re-
ioicing.
Reza Kahn has risen from hum
BILE station. He formerly was a groom
and subsequently IA trooper in the
Persian CoSSackS. He suddenly gain
ed prominence when in 1921 he head
ed military revolt which overthrow
the government. ReZa then became
war minister. and in 1928 premier.
lie declared himself in favor OF a
republic but was thwarted in his ef-
forts to establish one by the opposi-
ton of the priests.
Reza Virtual Dictator
However, Reza has held power since
that time as the virtual dictator. mod
cling his conduct in example of Mus
tapha Kemal Pasha President of Tur-
key. Early in 1925 he induced the
National Assembly TO appoint him
commander-in-ch chief of the army.
The Morning Post says the Shah
recently determined to return to
Persia from his unlimited vacation in
Europe, and engaged suite on a
liner sailing for Persia, but that he
has Cancelled his arrangements.
