plain words of its written contract.
Wine, Women and-Perverts
Around this man. like a swarm
of perverts gathered the men above
mentioned and the Hon. Paul Bah
cock, now attorney SUPPOSEDLY
representing the County. When
Mr.. Clawsen left PlentywOOd he
had his lobbying done and soon af-
ter we find Mr.. Paul BabcOck and
Mr.. Frank French. talking in
TOadhOuse near this city whero
women danced and wriggIed in
scanty and gaudy garments and
whisky and wine flowed like water.
In such a place the interests Of the
taxpayers Of Sheridan County were
bartcred away and the agreement
made by which Mr.. BabcOck would
be put on the public payroll, as
the supposed legal representative
of Sheridan County, in a suit in
vOlving S100,000.00. The next
day Mr.. Frcnch moved and Mr.. w
ersOn seconded the appointment of
this lawyer which was not request
ed in the customary manner by the
County Attorney.
Celebrating the Appointment
"That night a party was held in
the office Of Babcock at which Com
missioner French, Paul Babcock ana
County Attorney Erickson and Nc
Kee, local stoolpigeon for the Insur-
ance Attorney, and two females ceie-
brated the appointment. Beer, hi
lacked from a bootlegger was poured
like water down the thirsty throats
of those present while they shrieked
with anticipated joy at the coming
raid on the taxpayers money in the
guise Of a legal fee. It was a gay
party for which the public was to
pay later.
"In all my experience fighting the
forces Of robbery and wrong | never
saw such an audacious attempt to
wrest the money of the people from
their grasp.
"THE WHOLE THING LITERAL
LY REEKED WITH ROTTENESS
AND ILLEGALITY. IT WAS CON-
CElVED IN INIQUITY, BROUGHT
FORTH IN SIN AND BAPTIZED
WITH ILLICIT LIQUOR HIJACKED
FROM A BOOTLEGGER UNDER
COLOR OF OFFICIAL RIGHT AND
IN VIOLATION OF STATE AND
NATIONAL LAWS.
"Let me digress here a moment to
tell you about how official crooks
traded the public interests in the
hectic days Of the war. The bribers
and bribetakers passed their money
over games Of poker. Those seeking
favors from the government always
lost the money, and the game, to the
crooked officials. They did things by
a code. Artifice practiced in Ma
tional affairs are sometimes copied by
smaller fry politicians and their re-
tainers. Amongst the many docu-
ments which found its way into the
HANDS Of our secret service, which
casts black shadow around this un-
savory deal, is letter from the Ma
tional Surety Company Attorney to

FULLER APPOINTS
COMMISSION TO
STUDY SACCO CASE


Boston (FP) - Governor
Fuller has given up his plan of
going it alone in the Sacc0-Van-
zetti investigation. He now APP
points an advisory committee of
three, consisting Of President Alb
bott Lawrence Lowell, of Harvard
University; President Samuel w.
Stratton of tho Massachusetts
Institute Of Technology and for
mer Judge Robert Grant.
The three investigators are to
independently probe the evidence
in tho famous case and make a
report to the governor. Fuller
VIII continue his own separate
study Of the case.
A week ago the Governor de-
med the request Of the Sacco-
Vanzetti Defense Committee for
an impartial commission to re-
view the evidence. He said then
that the law required him to take
the responsibility himself. But
now he finds a ruling by the Mas
sachusetts supreme court "he
should seek such aid as he might
desire from any proper source"
1t is not expected that there
will be public hearings, as the
defense committee had urged. To
that extent their request Is still
denied. Ruf aoraa aucOuraReme
Is felt. The governor feels the
case Is too big to study unaided
by himself and his personal coun-
sci alone.

Worker Stills Legion Mob.
At the height Of this second orgy,
voice was heard to ring out clear
ly: Long live Sacco and Vanzetti!"
In the sudden stiffness which fell on
the rollicking hall the police laid

had evaded the guards at the door
and slipped into the assembly. He
protested that he had taken this occa-
sion to make heard the true voice of

The hooliganism Of the uniformed

taken a new swing upwards.
Legion Bosses Campaign.
When the swaying, shouting, sing
ing veterans" in the hall could be
stilled and forced back to their places
an attempt was made to transact the
business" of the session. One of the
events agitating the minds of legion
politicians and others in the United
States is the election of the new COM
mander of the legion which will take
place Thursday. Prominently men
toned as candidates are the names of
Paul McNutt, dean of the Law School
of Indiana University, J. Monroe
Johnson of Marion, South Carolina,

Land in Antwerp Fog

ANTWERP, Sept. 19.-Rain poured
down on the $4,000 Legionnaires who
have landed here in an effort to
escape some of the humiliating expe-
riences to which the earlier contin-
gents were submitted by the boycott
of the French workers. The armed
tourists, tired and sick after their
long. sea-voyage, landed in a typical
yellow Antwerp fog and splashed
thru the puddles and the mud of the
dirty streets and docks which run
along the Scheldt river in this city
The big liners blew their whistles and
there was much official footing from
the shore, but the response of the
Flemish workers was even more dull
and apathetic than that of the
French. The veterans" entrained al
most at once for Brussels where they
laid wreathe on the tomb of the
Unknown Soldier. Standing in front
of the Unknown Soldiers monument
on the Boulevard Adolphe Max, bare
headed in the drizzling rain, the pa
thetic Legionnaires from Iowa to
whom Europe is a strange and nerye-
racking experience, sang "Out where
the tall corn grows" while little
knot of Belgians stopped for a mo-
ment to look at the invaders. The
Legionnaires left shortly afterwards
for Paris.

motions which international courtesy
requires as a response to the efforts
of the French government to popu.
larize the legion's stay in France.
Masses Silent.
Between massed columns of police
behind whom the silent files of the
French workers stood to see the latest
exhibition of the combined militarism
of the two powers, the legionnaires,
many Of them in civilian clothes since
their trunks We're locked up in the
offices of the American Express and
could not be obtained because of the
general holiday, marched to the tune
of Madelon, the jazz-hymn to which
the American and French poilus were
sent under the barrage in 1914 and
1917.
AS the thousands of khaki-tourists
swung along the boulevards the ex-
element of the French crowds passed
all bounds and when the line of eight
veterans" abreast divided into dou-
BILE columns of four each with the
flat tomb of the Unknown Soldier be-
tween them, the police were forced to
ride their horses into the packed
masses for fear that the fury of the
French workers might suddenly
mount and end the procession in ca
tastrophe.
Tomb Desecrated.
The feeling of dissertation when the
fictitious veterans" still haggard
and unsteady from their last nights
orgy dropped red, white and blue
flowers on the Unknown Soldiers
grave could be almost physically felt
as the wave of horror swept the
silent, furious masses. The feeling
among the French workers, as among
French of almost all classes, is that
an outrage of peculiarly unspeak-
able nature has been perpetrated
against the French people under the
guise of an official reception.
AS the long lines of tired wet
Grams" drifted away from the ranks
at the close Of the procession to re-
sumo the night life they had left off
in the morning, the workers in thou
sands thronged the greetings in the
red suburbs and in Hundreds of pro-
test meetings spontaneous and other
wise demanded the expulsion of the
American Legionnaires from the soil
Of France.

STOP CLUBBING!

New York City's finest clubs,
ride, beat and arrest the workers
for the peaceful demonstrations The
police of New York ignore thousands
of bootleggers, fences, thieves, gang
sters because they are loyal to the
present ruling class.
The workers that protest against
the Sacco and Vanzetti murder are
criminals because they are honest
workers and don't belong to the rul-
ing class.
They will raise a huge cry if one
society dame sprains her ankle, but
they will laugh and praise if the cops
ride with their horses on workers
head. What is a few baby carriages
trampled on, a few women workers
hurt, a few working mems heads
broken?
The rable, they say, will take any
insult from the ruling class for they
are hungry and their bellies cry for
food the motto of the masters is
starve-be clubbed-or obey and be
a slave-but how long?
Some day, in the very near future
they are going to see that present
Labor leaders "a few excepted) are
only takers and traitors; they are GO
ing soon to ask an account from
them and kick them out of the Labor
movement, as one kicks out useless
piece Of furniture. The Communist
Party is our only hope and future
leader and we greet the Communist
Party delegates welcome. - ]. n.
