DOOMED YOUTH
ASKS SENTENCE
BE SET ASIDE

DENVER, Jan. 2 O.N.S0.
Philip Hornbein and David RoS-
ner, Denver attorneys, today will
file a motion in the Ell Paso
county District Court at Colorado
Springs to have the death SEN
tence of Walter Reppin, 18, Of
Newark, N. j., set aside, accord
ing to plans which they worked
out with Herbert Reppin, Is,
brother Of the condemned youth.
Walter Reppin is under SEN
tence to be executed in the
States new lethal gas chamber
some time this week for the kill
ing last August of Vincent Regan,
Colorado Springs taxicab driver.
Question Of Age
He was sentenced after he
pleaded guilty to firSt-degree MUIR
der.
Hornbein said:
"Our principal contention
will be that it Is a settled rule
Of law, well subStantiated, that
q minor is not permitted to
admit anything which would
jeOpardize his property.
"It should follow, then, that
It is not proper that he be
permitted to plead away his
life."
Rosner said the motion would
also cite letter written by
Cyrus w. Dolph, Colorado Springs
attorney who was assigned to
Reppin's case, in which he said
he felt he had made a mistake
in advising Reppin to plead
guilty.
Letters Pour in
Reppin, in his cell in the death
house at the State penitentiary at
Canon City, was elated over the
turn of events during the past
few days that has given him
renewed hopes of escaping with
his life.
Letters from individuals and
organizations throughout the
country continued to pour into
the office of Gov. Ed c. johnson
here, some pleading with him to
spare Reppin's life, others urg.
ing that the law be allowed to
take it's course.
The American League to Abol-
ish Capital Punishment asked
that Governor johnson exercise
executive clemency "in view Of
the youth of the boy and your
own quoted disapproval of capital
punishment"

LORDS ADVANCING
| |NC|TEMENT BILL
Second Reading Is Given.
/ Misrepresentation OF
/ Measure Scored.
~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, November THE House
of Lords last night gave second read
Inc TO the incitement- -disafiection
bill. The reading was given after
Lord Hailsham, government spokes-
nan, asserted there was an organized
campaign of Misrepresentation against
the bill on the ground it interfered
with the right of free speech.
The proposed measure has nothing
to do with the law of sedition and
does not at all affect the liberty OF
speech, Lord Hailsham said. Any
statement or writing that was legal
now would be legal after the bills
passage, while any statement or writ
ing now illegal would remain illegal,
he added.
Lord Strabolgi, better known as
Comdr. C. M. Kenworthy, declared on
behalf of the Labor opposition he be-
lieved there was sinister motive be-
hind the bill. He saw it as being for
the object of beating down a paciflst
movement in case of war"
The bill had It's genesis in the
admiralty, he said.
The Archbishop Of Canterbury,
Most Rev. Cosmo Gordon Lang. sup
ported the bill, declaring it did not
affect the liberty of expression of
opinions Of even the most advanced
character.
Lord Allen Of Hurtwood, Labor
opposed it, however. as dangerous to
liberty, while Lord Ponsonby, another
Labor peer, said that in event of a
threat of war he would do his best
to defy the provisions of the measure.
He was ready to visit barracks and
tell the men not to fight, he said.

In spite of the NRA's fine words, we have

Condemns Both Old Parties

you tell them nothing. You just
vote and that is all.
You may get in the hot pan or
in the f1re-that is up to you.
Nevertheless you usually get
burned at your own expense.
You, the workers Of all classes,
should by this time know enough
to make an intelligent man or
woman out of yourself, and if you
are not, certainly it is no ones
fault but yours.
Look back in recent political
history? Who has told you the
truth in political campaigns of the
three major political parties, Re-
publican, Democratic or Socialist?
The one who habitually votes
the old party way votes con-
domination against himself and
his family and does not know.
This is the time to act. Act now
for the better future of yourself
and those who are most dear to
you. You who have any respect
at all for humanity, do not hest
tate to vote the Socialist way this
fall, and if many of you follow
this bit of advice you will see the
good effects of your action.
Better days will be here, but not
under Democratic or Republican
rule. There will have to be bet
ter future security, and it only
can be done by showing how to do
it. I, for one, and six more in my
family from now on will vote a
straight Socialist ticket.

A LYNCHING A WEEK

IRON Jan. to June l, there were two
lynchings in the United States. Since
June l. there have been twelve lynchings.
Prior to June /, the Wagner CoStigan fed
eral anti-lynching bill was a live issue in con-
gresS. 1t provided drastic federal punishment
of lynchers and local officers who fail to re-
sist lynch mobs, and assessed heavy fines
against the communities in which lynchings
occur. Apparently this threat of federal in
reference was strong deterrent to lynching
in the first five months of the year.
This threat was removed about June
when the Wagner-Cosugan bill was pigeon
hoed. Since that date, mob murders have
proceeded at the rate of more than one a
week In none of the instances have Iynchers
been punished, nor is it likely that any will
be punished.
The National Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People has appealed to
President Roosevelt to insist at the opening OF
the next congressional session upon passage
of federal anti-lynching legislation. The
parade of bold mob murders" says the asso-
citation. is proof that the states are unwilling
or unable to check lynching and that the only
method left is the invocation of the power of
the federal government"
AT the next session OF congress, the Presi-
dent should give to the Wagner Costigan bill
more than his tacit approval

BATTLE OF THE CENTURY

WE regret to announce that Republican
w Senator Dan Hastings has declined the
challenge to debate Democratic Senator Jim
Ham Lewis.
Jim Ham will not speak through his once
pink whiSkers and DauntleSs Dan will not talk
through his hat; no eloquent eulogy of Roose-
veltian recovery will clash with dirge to the
dear. dead days of Republican rule.
The New Deal vs.. the Old Deal featuring
the cavalier from Illinois and the roundhead
from Delaware!"
II wouldn't be fair said Hastings, because
the Democrats would pack the meetings with
government jooholders.. How little he under
stands showmanship.
With such an attraction conducted under
the rule of first come first served. the Demo-
cratic jobholders wouldn't have a chance.
They couldn't get of work in time to get in
the hall. Seats and standing room would be
taken by unemployed Republican ex-job-
holders. who. having nothing else to do, would
reach the hall hours in advance and wait to
see their bristling champion tweek the craving
vhiskers of his Democratic adversary
What a swell show
