PURGE COMES TO AMERICA
DESTRUCTION OF CIVIL RIGHTS
BY SAMUEL PETTENGILL
Democratic Member of Congress from Indiana

il would be Il grave breach OF the
most sacred right of Self-govern-
mcnt to deny 70 any constituency
the representative OF their free
choice. if otherwise legally elected
and qualified.
But suppose the purge is direct
cd against such candidate. And
suppose Il majority Of his consti-
tucntS vote for him notwlthStand-
ing. as they did for Congressman
Victor Berger. What then? Is the
purge to continue" Are persons
in the executive branch to urge
the senate and house to deny the
elected candidate his seat? And IS
that vote to exclude To be made a
question OF loyalty 10 the one
party superstate? Ana if senators
and congressman defy the wish OF
the mighty and vote to seat the
undeSired. are they themselves to
be the next victims Of the purge!
Are these questions tanclful?
This ! must leave to you in the
light Of the purge doctrine as ex-
cmpiifed by its devotees abroad.
Certain it is that no self-imposed
limits have so far been placed oil
the purge. All we know now IS
that the power to purge Is assert
ed. and power seldom places l!mi-
tatiOnS on its own use.

PART vi


1t has been often said recently
that however far the Federal gov
eminent may extend its economic
power it will ScrupulUuSLy safe
guard the "civiI rights" Of the
citizen.
Don't worry. Nothing will hap
pen to those precious rights! We
will protect them Leave 1t to us!
But it must be noted that the
greatest and most important civil
right Of all is the right Of the cltI-
zen to vote his unbOught and un-
frightened Judgment on matters
concerning his own government.
From this civil right all other
rights depcnd-ireedom Of wor-
ship, freedom of the press. trial
by jury, etc. When the right to
cast free ballot is gone, the pow
er to defend these other rights Is
gone also. And when the power
to defend rights is gone the rights
themselves 90 also.
SO the doctrine of the purge IN
vadcs the last stronghold of con
stitutional government. the con-
stitutiOnal right of the citizen to
freely select the instruments OF
his own government.
Who has in truth The sole right
to make free choice of senators
and congressman if not their own
constituencies? This Las come up
many times in election contests.
especially those involving the right
of national political minoritles to
have representatives even from
districts where they are in the
majority. For example. the victor
Berger case from the Milwaukee
district during the World war, or
the State Assembly at Albany vot-
inc to exclude Socialist members
during Governor Hughes admins
tration, an action ne vigorously
condemned.
BY express constitutional provI-
sion each house of the national
congress "shall be tn" judge OF
the elections, returns and quallh-
cations of its own members.
Strictly construed, this would
seem to give the house or senate
the power to exclude anyone not
"qualified," if his political or So
cial or economic views are abhor-
rent to the majority, whether ne
is considered wild man" or a
"copper-kead." Yet in cases such
as those to which | have referred
it has always been contended that

1t happened during yesterdays

hero Of flight to Dublin in

sprouted ShamrockS in the demon
stration of Irish enthusiasm.

the evening. DR.. Willard Ellis

mended the X-ray.

ColTigan blinked and grinned,

The Mayor, speaking at an ad-
vertising club luncheon after the
parade, hailed COrrigan never
theless as typifying the daring
courage and imagination OF
American youth"
Today Corrigan was recuper-
ating from the effects Of the
widest celebration since Col.
Chas. A. Lindbergh came back
from Paris in 1927. He hoped to
keep his grinning Irish face as
far removed from crowds as pos
pisble until he sets out again on
Monday for Boston to encounter
another riot, and to proceed from
there on tour of the country.
At Boston, committee of 1877,
including AZ Corrigans, was mobl-
ilizing the marches for another
