A motorcade from Coolidge,
Florence and Casa Grande was
organized by Pinal County Will
kieites and Yuma, Santa Cruz
Counties also joined the parade to
Phoenix.
Arriving at the stadium grounds
he took a moment in the old Phoe-
nix Junior College Gymnasium to
say briefly to Republican leaders of
Arizona that he had never seen so
many fine Americans packed into
one place, that he wished his visit
were long enough to shake the
hands of every one of them.
Fifteen thousand Arizonians pack
cd the Phoenix High School stadi-
um and greeted Wendell L. Willkie,
with a great resounding roar.
His informal, direct, intensely
serious speech was received with
prolonged applause. Those who
heard him and saw him, got the
impression of a quick thinking man
of vigor, wholly sincere making an
earnest plea for American freedom.
He spoke, in part as follows:
II tell you in all calmness and
deliberateness of language that II
we do not rehabilitate our economy
in the next four years so that the
national income can properly bear
a part of our increased costs for
the defense program, the time Is
not so far distant when American
democracy will no longer func-
ton
Building strong national de-
tense is not enough in itself, he
said, to carry America through
"the critical times ahead" With
out a restoration of America s
domestic economy, an attempt at
least to start balancing income
and expenditures, he said, de-
mocracy will perish.
You people of Arizona are far
from the scenes of conflict in El-
rope, but you may be sure that
there are forces at work in the
world there are forces at work IN
America that, if they succeed, this
most precious of all ways of life
may pass.
America faces a danger to 1ts
democracy, danger of attack OH
ito democracy, danger OF attack
both from without and from with
in.
Suppose we build the greatest
national defense, the mlgntles'
warships. the heaviest guns, the
greatest fleets of airplanes-yet II
our domestic economy breaks
down, this way of life will pass III
that event.
IF had to make my choice for
rbe protection of American de
mocracy, between rehabilitating
our domestic economy, and build
ing a great national defense,
think, and it would be a difficult
choice to make, but 1 think
would take the choice of rebuild
ing and revitalizing and rehablllat
ing American domestic economy.
If, from the other side of the
ocean, dictators looked across and
saw a great, united people at work
in American free enterprise, thyC
never strike.
The question is HOW are we
going to rehabilitate American
economy. AS l travel about, and
come to places like Phoenix, I like
to point out the particular things
in these particular localities which

TURN THE RASCALS OUT"

The smart politicians continue their
gross mismanagement of the peoples

the whirlwind The voice of an in.
dignant, aroused, electorate rises to
an angry chorus in every city, village
and town. 1t knows no boundary OF
party, or partisan belief; it is the de-
termined, grim resolve of John Citizen
to turn the rascals out There has
been too much of politics, too much
of graft, too much of corruption.
There is too much whispering-too
much hidden government-the whole
sorry mess crowned by the furtive
antics of an ex-convict. We have had
enough. The people of Montana are
sick of their present state admins
tration with it's attempts at fire in
surance on concrete bridges, its liquor
business turned over as a gravy boat
to a felon directed gang, it's Welfare
board with it's 300 administrative
cost, it's water Conservation BOARD"
reeking with extravaganza and poll
tics, it's high powered help getting
state salaries for placer mining, or
campaigning for their boss. The die
is cast. No amount of political trick
cry can alter the result. An admin
istration founded upon a libelous as
sault against another candidate, de-
pendent for its existence upon the
craven support of its lick spittle pets
is destined to disaster 1t was i'll
starred from its very beginning
every performance has been disap-
pointing or worse-the recent primary
foretold the end. Whether Arthur
Lamey was defeated or merely
counted out matters not-the Ayers
machine is doomed. Standing with
one foot in a political grave of OBJ
livion, and with the other foot on a
banana peeling of popular distrust,
Mr. Roy Ayers faces the certain pros
pect of political death. That is well.

making any recommendation or dec
laration of opinion as to the truth or
falsity of the charges. Since the leg
islature was winding up" its regular
business and the members were anx-
ious for adjournment, nothing further
was done in the matter.
1t should be noted that Governor
Ayers has never made any state
ment denying DR.. Dunn's charges,
nor did he make any demand at the
time the charges were made for
searching Investigation and hearing
to clear his reputation of charges
which amount to accusations of com
mon larceny from the state of which
he is the chief executive.
According to the sworn statement
of DR.. Dunn, he was called over the
telephone in his home in Lewistown,
late at night on March 1, 1899 by
Lowell Watkins, who is now in charge
of corporation license tax collections,
to come to Helena at once and to
come alone. Responding to the ap-
peal so urgently made, DR.. Dunn left
Immediately for Helena and arrived
there in the early morning hours of
March 2.
In the forenoon of March g. Mr..
Wass and Mr.. Watkins met with DR..
Dunn and in the course of the con-
versation, DR.. Dunn states: "Mr. Wass
then told me that certain members
of the House had complaint all
ready to start impeachment proceed
ings against the governor and that it
was based on my testimony before the
Senate investigating committee, and
that it was up to me because of old
friendship to retract. | said that I'M
der the circumstances with them lin
Guiding the A. c. NJ Company en-
cheering the Impeachment of Mr..
Freebourn so that the governor could
appoint his successor and thereby con-
troll the board of examiners, that If
should win my case for reinstate-
ment at Warm Springs, it would avail
mo nothing, as the governor with his
control of the board could throw me
out at once. I did say that if Mr..
Freebourn was impeached my state
ment would stand and that l had two
additional witnesses to substantiate
my statement l did however agree
that if Mr.. Freebourn was not i'm
peached and the governors case was
brought to trial l would help in any
way that l could without periuring
myself"
Records of the votes on the Free
bourn impeachment proceedings show
that representative recognized as be-
ing ordinarily we'll influenced by the
A. c. NJ Company, switched their
stand on the Freebourn Impeachment
over night, lending credence to tn
surmise that the company" to save
the governor, "called off their dogs"
on the Freebourn case.
The people of the state will ulti-
mately be brought to an understand
ing of the unsavory conditions sur
rounding the present administration
in the state, and they will undoubted-
ly retire Ayers to private life this
fall. More than that, the public
should demand of the coming legis-
lature, far-reaching and exhaustive
Investigations of the manner in which
the states business has been handled
or mishandled by Ayers during his
administration.

Strict censorship in Spain has been
unable to hide the poverty-stricken
conditions prevailing throughout the
country under Frances rule, the
United Spanish Aid Committee de-
clared. Harsh taxes, such as the gas
oline price increase, have been piled
upon the backs Of the Spanish peo-
pie in order to pay for Frances pre-
parations for imperialist conquest.

armed forces Food is rationed among
the peopel and many items are I'M
obtainable.
Senior Ramon Serrano Suner,, broth
er-in-law of General Franco and min
lister of the interior under Franco, de-
clared in a recent speech:
1--WE have no bread, but we have
our country"
The hunger and privation which
stalk the land is aggravated many
times over in the prisons and labor
battalions where loyal supporters of
the republic, trade unionists, farmers,
youth, women, priests, are being
starved to death, the committee said.
Packages containing vital food
items and other essentials should be
rushed to the anti-fascist prisoners
of Spain Send your contributions i'm
mediately to the United American
Spanish Aid Committee, 200 Fifth

lean people must demand that the
Roosevelt Administration intercede
with the Franco regime to release all
political prisoners and proclaim gem
eral amnesty.

COURTS BAN
ON BR0WDER
IS PROTESTED

NEW RK-(FP)-Federa Judge
John C. Knox's refusal to permit Earl
Browder, communist presidential can
didate on bail pending appeal of con-
viction for passport fraud, to con-
duct his campaign outside the New
York area has drawn vigorous pro-
tests from the American Civil Liber-
ties Union and the Natl Federation
for Constitutional Liberties, and even
stronger remarks from the communist
party.
I'VE would not take any exception
to your requiring any man under bail
to remain within the district, if your
decision rested on grounds not in
volving political opinion" the AC.L.U.
said in a letter to Knox. But you
are quoted as stating in effect that
the government should not enlarge
the territory of a candidate who
wishes to overthrow the government.
ct is hardly necessary to call to
your attention that the communist
party is legal political party, on the
ballot of a large number of states.
To deny its candidate for President
the opportunity to conduct his cam
paign outside the New York area is
in substance to deny an essential DEM
ocratic right"
Calling upon the judge to undo
your harmful act" the N.F.C.L. letter
said: Suppression of the right of any
minority to advocate a change would
inevitably result in the loss of suf-
frage for all" ~
The communist party of Montana
has made arrangements for broad
cast by Mr.. Browder over the Z-Bar
Network and public meeting of the
party will be held in the Miners IN
ion hall in Butte at 2 o'clock, p. M,
Sunday, September 15,swhich will be
addressed by Robert Minor, member
OF the national committee of the party
and by Arvo Fredrickson, communist
candidate for governor.

The dramatic anti-conscription rally
held Saturday night attracted more
than $4,000 people. The singing of
Ballads for Americans" by Paul Rob-
eson with chorus of 200, charged
the huge audience with patriotic
fervor that resulted in an ovation sell
dom ever accorded an artist The star
of the opera, stage and screen re-
turned to the platform after a hurried
exit and sang a portion of the Ballad
as an encore.
DR.. Frances E. Townsend, founder
and leader of the old-age pension plan
was given rising ovation and encore
when he was introduced from the ros-
from. He endorsed the mobilization S
peace program and declared that
youth had as big a stake in the pen
sion plan as those past go years of
age. He criticized government lead
ership that discriminates against the
aged, the negro, workers generally
and minority religious groups.
Vito Marcantonio, who is member
of Congress from the Harlem section
of New York City, climaxed the rally
with an address delivered near the
hour of midnight The audience rose
in body and cheered for five min
utes before the chairman could re-
store order. Rep Marcantonio de-
elared: Every one of you must go
back home and write to your con-
gresham demanding that he vote
against the Burke-Wadsworth bill.

Without regard to the partisan po-
litical aspects of the present guber-
material campaign in Montana, it ap-
pears to us that present indications
in the state are destined to vindicate
the strength and utility of the proc
esses of republican government. That
word is used in its pure sense; after
all, democracy" has been abused to
the point of absurdity, and strictly
speaking we are republic. There
are no pure "democracies, but be
that as it may a careful observation
of the trend of opinion in Montana
is an extremely comforting one.
From every section of this state a
swelling chorus of opposition to the
present governor is being plainly
heard. The partisan pickering of po-
Itical trickery is confined to pitiful
few of those favorites of the present
governor who have found fortune in
their loyalty to Montana's political
dictator. This Is as it should be. 1t
serves to clarity the issue, it prevents
the smoke screen of balanced budget
oratory from concealing the ugly fig
ure of corruption which overshadows
this state administration.
Corruption ana political Dictator
ship are bitter enemies of free gov
eminent and this the people of Mon
tana know, and knowing this, they
become the most powerful enemies of
corrupt machine politics. This is ap-
parent in every region on Montana.
Honest, whole hearted democrats
speak with bitter disappointment of
the farce which has been presented
to the people by the present state adj
ministration. The liquor racket was
so characterized by bipartisan legis-
lative committee who declared the Ii
quor racket in danger of getting out

Defense COMM.
Still STUDYING
oil. TRUST SUITS

Still going on is the tug of war be-
tween Thurman Arnold and the de-
partment of Justices antitrust divi-
sion and the National Defense Adj
visory Commission over the advisable
ity of antitrust suits against some of
the industrial powers that be.
Arnold has sneaked some suits
across but the big boys, it seems, are
successfully shielded by the defense
commission.
There was, for example, that matter
of the antitrust suits against the
major oil companies. The defense
commission asked that they be held
up pending study by the commission.
They are still being studied.
Thus far Arnold has succeeded in
getting an indictment of makers OF
airplane fabrics and an indictment
against the Carboloy Co. of Detroit
which manufactures tungsten carbide.
The fabric makers it was charged,
boosted the price of square yard of
airplane covering from 28 cents in
1886 to SO cents. The three concerns
involved are making virtually all OF
the airplane covering fabric available.
The tungsten people, the Indictment
said, had a conspiracy with the Krupp
munitions works in Germany to limit
production in this country of tung-
stem carbide metal vital to the man
ufacture of ornaments.
These two suits, however, have yet
to be tried
In the meantime Arnold is insisting
that he can speed up national defense
with some antitrust suits while peo-
pie in the defense commission insist
that he'll only irritate the fat boys.
