KANSAS CAMPAIGNER

THE state of Kansas is in the
l. limelight this year because for
the first time in history a nominee
of one of the major parties comes
from the Sunflower state. More
over, it has two candidates for the
presidency-Gov. ALT. M. Landon
heading the Republican ticket and
Earl Browder of Wichita, the lead
er of the Communist party.
This is not the first time, how
ever, that a Kansan has been a
nominee. Back in 1884 there was
another. He was John Pierce ST.
John, a native of Indiana, an ad-
venturer in California in the gold
rush days, a lawyer in Illinois
and soldier in the Civil war, ris-
ing to the rank of lieutenant-colonel
of an Illinois volunteer regiment.
After the war he moved TO Mis-
souri, where he practiced law for a
time and became noted as politi-
cal orator. In 1869 he moved to
Kansas where he was to win his
greatest renoWn.
He served in the state senate in
1884 but declined reelection and
in 1873 was elected governor by
the Republican party. Reelected
il. 1880, he won the Republican
nomination for third term in 1882
but was defeated in the election.
Always a pronounced enemy of
the liquor traffic, st. John was
nominated for President on the
Prohibition ticket in 1884 and polled
a total of Isl ,809 votes. This was
&c, 900 more than the vote for But
ler, the candidate of the Green
backers," so that he was the run
uer-up' in the race between Cleve-
land and Blaine.
During his canvass for the presi-
dency, st. John travelled extensively
over the United States making
speeches in behalf of the dry
cause. In fact, during his IA years
of public life he is said to have
hung up a record of travel exceed
ed by few candidates for Office.
He travelled more than 300, 900
miles by rail, during which time
he never had an accident nor was
sick day and made total of
1000 speeches. missing but four en-
gagements in all that time.

city. If there are developments
meanwhile, the council or fedora

cording to President Green. He
said: The matter is temporarily
closed" and added that SO far as
he knew, no peace overtures had
been made by the CIO leaders. Mr..

HISTORIC MURDER

NNE hundred and ten years age
~ a man was murdered and as a
direct result of that crime we now
have. every four years, national
conventions of delegates from ev-
cry state and territory in the Union
to nominate candidates for Presi-
dent and vice president. Here's
how it came about:
In 1926 William Morgan of Ba-
tavia, N. Y, published book
which purported to reveal the Sc
crets of Freemasonry. Soon after
wards he disappeared and the Ma
sons were not only accused of hav-
ing kidnapped him and drowned him
in the Niagara river but also of
blocking a proper investigation of
his disappearance. From western
New York, opposition to the Ma
sons spread to other states and
several demagogic young politi-
clans, among them ThurloW Weed
and William H. Seward of New
York and Thaddeus Stevens of
Pennsylvania, seized upon the
movement to promote their own
ambitions.
The result was the organization
of the Anti-Masonic party and in
September, 1880. the first AntiMa-
sonic convention, the first national
convention of any party. was held
in Philadelphia, attended by 96 del
egates from ten states. 1t was
decided to hold another conven-
ton the next year to nominate can
didates for President and vice-pres-
ident and this meeting was to be
composed of as many delegates
resentatives in both houses of con-
gress.
Accordingly in September, 1881,
the convention was held in Balti-
more and it nominated for Presi-
dent William Writ of Maryland,
who had been attorney-general in
Monroe's cabinet. and fol- vice
president Amos Ellmaker of New
York. In the election of 1882 these
candidates won only the electoral
vote of Vermont. Later this party
was absorbed by the Wings and lost
it's identity. except in Pennsylvania
where it elected a governor i'll 1885
and continued as separate party
for a few years.
But during the Anti-Masonic par
tvs short existence it had pointed
the way for others to follow in the
method of choosing candidates. 1t
gave them the national nominating
convention and while convention
procedure has since been changed
in many ways. from that day to
this the fundamental principle upon
which it was based has remained
unchanged-democratic representa-
ton of the party constituency.

SympathieS. The immediate occa-
sion for their disputes is the civil
war in Spain. Nearly all the conti-
mental governments and that of
Great Britain joined in an agree
ment of nonintervention, but that
pact is about played out. Russia,
accusing Portugal, Germany and It.
ally of aiding the Fascist Spanish
rebels, has denounced the agree
ment and declared she reserves
freedom to help the Madrid govern
ment; the accused nations deny the
Soviet charges and retort that Rus
sia already has sent many ship
loads of war supplies and munitions
to the Spanish loyalists. At least
three ships, alleged to be Russian
and laden with munitions for Ma
drid, have been bombed by insur-
gent planes.
Portugal severed diplomatic rela-
tions with the Madrid government,
and the representatives of the two
countries were recalled. DR.. Ar
mindo Monteiro, Portuguese foreign
minister, followed up this action by
sending to Lord Plymouth, British
chairman of the nonintervention
committee, a long document accus-
ing Russia of having planned and
brought about the Spanish civil war.
He named the Russian diplomats,
agitators and soldiers who, he
charged, were directing the opera
tions. He alleged that Moscow
sought to start a revolution in Por-
tugal and thus provide a base for
alta cking General Francois insur-
gent forces in the rear.
NaZi Germany and Fascist Italy
have buried their differences for the
time being and reached an agree
ment on a united policy. This was
outlined in communique published
after Italian Foreign Minister Gale
azzo Ciano had conferred with
Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler. In the
first place Hitler and Mussolini in
form the world that they intend to
recognize the insurgent government
headed by General Franco as the
legitimate regime in Spain, but they
promise to respect the terms of the
nonintervention agreement.
Other important declarations of
policy by the two states are:
l. Cooperation to protect the
peace Of Europe and "the holy
riches OF European civilization and
family life.
2. Endorsement of conference to
reWrite the Locarno pact guaran-
teeing European borders, but only
in the west. This implied that nei-
ther would agree to Soviet Russia's
presence at the meeting.
3. Cooperation for the rehabilita-
tion of the Danubian countries.
In one clause of the agreement
Germany recognizes Italy's sover-
eighty over Ethiopia.

Spanish Rebels Pushing
Toward the Capital

n Wv "a "a NAAS OeRASoA
ENERAL FRANCO, head of the
~ Spanish insurgents, ordered the
immediate taking of Madrid and
each day the state of the defenders
of the capital became more desper-
ate. The rebels closed in relent-
lessly, making effective use of
bombing planes and armored tanks.
President Manuel Azana and
some of his cabinet ministers
slipped out of Madrid and appeared
in Barcelona. Ostensibly they were
making a tour of the loyalist fronts,
but the general opinion was that
they had fled from the capital to
make a last stand in Catalonia,
which province always is radical.
Anyhow, Azana took over an office
in the Catalan parliament building
for himself and his secretarial staff.
Sonora Azana has quit Spain. She
appeared in Toulouse, France, and
departed for an unannounced des-
tination.
