Chicago.-The uproar against the
seating of Col Frank L. Smith to fill
out the unexpired term of United
States Senator William B. Mckinley,
who died recently, is recognized in
Illinois for just what it is-a smoke
screen to conceal the real designs of
the making politicians and their
daily newspaper allies.
Organized labor, the farmers and
war veterans were the three big fac
tors in the nomination and election of
Colonel Smith to the United States
senate. These three elements are not
in good standing at the White House.
but have some friends on Capitol
Hill.
Big Interests Opposed Smith
Opposing Colonel Smith were all of
those big financial interests whose
principal aim is to exploit the wage
Garner, rob the farmer and to make a
mockery of the sacrifices of the ex-
service men.
1t is fact that large sum of
money was spent by Colonel Smiths
managers in the primary election last
spring, but not scintilla of evidence
ever has been produced showing that
a dollar was wrongfully spent either
from moral or legal standpoint.
Illinois is large state, both in
territory and population, having more
than 100000 inhabitants. 1t takes
a lot of money to reach that number
of people by means of the printed
word and through a speaking cam
paign.
Forced to Use Much Printed Matter
The Smith managers were forced
to use an enormous quantity of print
ed matter largely because not one
Chicago daily newspaper supported
Smith, and only handful of the
down-state dailies had a good wore
to say for him. The only class OF
publication that gave Smith 100 pei
cent support were the down-state Ia
Dor papers, which, taken collectively
are a powerful factor in Illinois.
Smith had to fight against gigantic
financial interests capable of exercis-
ing tremendous influence through un-

Enrolment Begins

Enrolment of the 10000 cloak
makers and 10000 dressmakers has
begun as a preliminary to reorganiz-
ing the local unions under authority
of the general executive board of the
international.
The test of strength will come,
however, in the referendum which is
to be called There is evidence that
the powerful communist group that
has been welded from nuclei in all
the needle trades unions is fully pre-
pared for the development and is
amply supplied with funds and lea
ers. Of this their recent demonstra-
tion of $4,000 in Madison Square
Garden is proof
At the call of the Lefts thousands
of communists from other than cloak
makers unions, politicals who are
anxious to see the trade unions
wrecked and outside groups, as well
as strong minority from the ranks
of the cloakmakers responded. One
hundred Red guards, paid members of
the picket committee, formed q re-
ception committee in front of the hall.
Police Aid Communists
Nearly 100 policemen and plain
clothes men, members of the bomb
squad and the industrial squad, CO.
operated with the Red guards. Any
union man of suspected right wing
tendencies was driven away and pre-
vented from entering. Protests were
unavailing, for the police were work
ing in perfect accord with the COM
munist leadership. 1t was one of the
interesting revelations Of the situa-
tion.
Defiance was voiced at the efforts
of the labor movement to capture the
local needle trades from the commu-
mist elements. Fur workers, painters,
clothing workers, jewelers., leather
workers infected with the virus of
Moscow were in the hall, ostensibly
all cloakmakers, who were yelling ap-
proval Of 25 weeks starvation and
tumult on the picket lines which they
have but recently experienced with

THE LAME DUCK AMENDMENT

If Congress does its duty, The House will promptly
follow the example Of the Senate in adopting the reso-
luton to make presidential and congressional terms
begin on the first of the year after election.
There may have been good reasons IN pioneer days
for delaying presidential Inauguration four months at
ter election, and the meeting Of the new Congress
more than year. But with modern means OF COM
munica;ion and transportation the system is absurd.
1t delays governmental action on the important
matters which national elections supposed to de-
eide. 1t enables lame duck law makers TO continue
functionng along old lines after they have been re-
pudiaed No private business would think OF allow
ing employee, continue iii his position carrying
out his accustomed policy for many months after he
had been told his services were longer required.
Almost every thinking citizen agrees about this
The Senate has voted for the proposed change By the
overwhelming majority Of 73 to ?. There is oppoSl-
ton the reform in the House for political reasons
Yet the House must agree sooner later and might
well do
1t means another amendment to the Constitution
if the states approve. No leve-headed citizen need
worry that since il overthroW nothing fun
damental but is merely technical correction of bit
Of governmental mechanism not functionng properly.

BETTER SUMNER HOTELS

The hotels Improvement committee OF the Ontario
Motor League has announced competition among
hotel men to improve accommodations for tourists
Cash prizes are offered The successful contestants
will be those who according the voluntary report Of
legitimate guests, have shown the greatest improve
ment in cuisine sleeping accommodations and actual
business done during the period from May l to No
venber l, 1926 Nothing is said about rates.
The contest appears to present certain difficult
tes.--5Tourist guests transents. They there
fore. report conditions only they find them in the
interval OF their residence and hardly make
parative reports of any hotel Tor the whole period
Probably, however the tone Of reports OF different
guests will be considered. If enthusiasm increases
consistently from May to November in any hostelry
it will seem evident that hotel service has improved
proportonately in the lines specified.
Any tourist planning to visit Ontario in the period
named afsly leave the working of contest de-
tails to those in charge The tourist himself should
profit greatly by the competitive service he seems
destined to receive and if he is at all grateful he will
do his part by reporting his satisfaction and pleasure
just as promptly and faithfully he would report
his kicks"
Do American summer hotels need this sort Of in
spiration?

KLAN RAPED AS
new HAVEN BRANCH
DECIDES TO DISBAND

New Haven, Conn, Jan. 4.-(AP)
J. Mann, secretary of the
New Haven chapter of the knights
of the Ku Klux Khan, announced to-
day the dissolution of that body, stat
ing that a decision to disband W ;
reached at "a council of the New
Haven Klansmen held on December
%.
In letter Mr.. Mann had address.
ed to the national vice president of
the organization, he attacks what he
characterizes as the corruption and
Generalization of the Khan" and crit
icizes the aims and purposes of the
organization. The Khan is termed
both un-American and anti-Amer-
lean" in Mr.. Manns letter.
Last fall, after a ceremonial at
Double Beach on4the Branford shore,
it was understood that many New
Haven klansmen were refused adj
mission to the grounds because their
membership cards were not the same
color as that issued by the imperial
khan. 1t then became known that
there had been a schism and the
New Haven chapter was not func-
tioning with the national one.
The dissolution Of the chapter as
announced today is believed to be an
aftermat, of the dispute which had
covered several months.
