Dawson of Beach Denies “Wall Street Control” Stories of Reds PRIVATE IS IN COMMAND Leader Resents Introduction By Governor Wood as “Com- mander-Lieutenant” “Big Business control” lies of sop- ponents. of the American legion were rammed ‘down their throats Saturday afternoon by C; L. Dawson of Beach, acting state’s attorney for Golden Val- ley county and .state commander of » the legion, in a’ vigorous addres to. the legislators in joint session, Dawson’ declared those who charged the legion with belng controlled by Wall ‘street ‘either were m'sinformed or were wilful falsifiers, iie delared the legion now facing a debt of $225,- not condemned any other organization of veterans. «We do not need to in or- der to exist, but as the frontiersmen} of the plaing rose to defend their cabins} against the onslaught of savages, so do wwe rise to defend ourselyes against misrepresentation. We have been told that we are agents of Wall Street and ‘big. business.’ Any person making any such statement knows that it is made without foundation of fact or else he doesn't care whether he tells the truth or not.

NO STANDARD WORKS * “There was not included one of the standard old works, not one of the great works of fiction or of the biogra- phies of great men from which we gained our youthful ideals. Pilgrim's Progress was not there. There was not a book that would give the young men and. women of our country schools the likeness of Wash- ington or Lincoln or Grant, but there is there a book that gives the picture of Leon; Trotzky. The time has not come in this state, gentlemen, when the portrait of Leon Trotzky must be honored more in the public schools of this state than that of the father of his country an the savior of, his country. : Free Love Philosophy __ “Think, gentlemen, of your little boys and girls going to their school library; and reading stuff like this,” quoting several passages from “Love and Ethics,” by Ellen Key. i “Startling views on the marriage relation: refusal to accept the time- honored belief in the sanctity of mar- riage; monogamy’s inevitable conse= quences the loss of ah enormous amount of life energy; the standard of parentage not the marriage right ot the legitimacy of their children but. the quality of the. child; dissolution. ‘+marriage made dependent on the st of the pair; free love} motherhood out’ of wedlock; the Soperiontes of the child who is a product of pure pas- on Material Conception on, our flag, for our country ‘and our courts.

He de- clared he had read Meyers’, history of-the supreme court and that he liked it and approved it and that he urged his children to read it, because it told of the sale, back in colonial days, of white women as slaves, and of dead ;negroes and deceased mules which voted and signed certificates and other things.
