The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1926-04-17
THE PRIMARY FIGHT IN CHI
cAGo TUESDAY. APRIL IS.
WAS RED HOT FROM
BEGINNING TO THE
END


18th, which was the birthday Of
Thomas Jefferson, the third president
of the United States, when national
and international propositions were
being constructed in an endeavor to
build a permanent relation in such a
way that the United States Govern
ment would in no way become in
volved in such international measure
as would cause war.
The World Court was endorsed in
the Republican and Democratic Ma
tional Conventions backed by the
strongest men OF both parties and at
the polls by seven million voters, but
after continuous debate the minority
in the Senate figured that their inter
national observation in some instances
from travel and personal investigations
proved to them that the World Court
was side entrance to the League of
Nations. Yet, senators of both parties
felt that the people had instructed them
by their vote to pass the act entering
the Worlds Court with such reserva-
tons as would protect the people of
this country.
The Court entry was passed the
Senate by a vote Of " to IL. The
newspapers of the country began a
daily slogan, "You got US into the
World Court now take us out"
Senators who were candidates for
reelection in both parties plead that
they were only obeying the mandates
handed them by the party platform,
yet the anti-war cry did each day strive
to pick out by means Of news articles
and editorials the dangers of becoming
part Of the World Court
Personal appeals to the senator's
from the President of the United
States pointed out their duties to party
platform.
Senator William B. Mckinley of
Illinois was the first senator to face his
constituency and meet the change Of
mind. When he discovered the condi-
ton he appealed to President Coolidge
and the Republican Senatorial Com
mittee to save him from volcanic de-
struction and the President stood as
cold and as still as the marble Of Yer
mont. Secretaries Hoover and Davis
came into our state and also Senator
Peppers of Pennsylvania to speak on
National issues, but at no time did
they raise their voice to say one word
that the President had spoken in favor
of Senator Mckinley, thus he faced
the issue alone, and met his defeat by
over a hundred thousand votes.
This is a lesson that brings about a
new international problem that plainly
shows that the west is against the
policy Of the Coolidge administration
on the Worlds Court and the Farm
ing Law Yet, Senator Mckinley
added thousands of votes to his col
umn of defeat by attempting to fool
the two hundred and seventy-hve thou
sand Negro voters by introducing at
the ninety-nineth hour the Anti
Lynching Bill This was the stroke
that sealed his doom.
Col. Frank L. Smith defeated SEN
ator William B. Mckinley with such
tremendous majority that it calls the
attention Of the world to the vote in
Illinois on the 18th. Colonel Smith
has been life long Republican, is
courageous, and will continue to battle
for better opportunity for the West
ern farmer in the development of prod
ucts and waterways. He is close to
the common people Of Illinois and they
will find in the future that they have
done honor to themselves and the ma
ton by electing Col. Frank L. Smith
to the Senate Of the United States next
November.
The local candidates supported BY
The Broad AK in the main were en-
dorsed by the people and as time goes
on toward the election day it shall be
the policy Of The Broad AK to advance
their cause in the clearest way possible.
In some instances it is to be re-
GREETED that we thought more ADLER
men should have received the endorse
ment Of the people but since the voters
have shown by their ballot a different
opinion we accept their verdict in these
instances.
