Y., Sept. 26.—A vigorous denunciation of the Ku Klux Klan and demand for modifi- cation of the Volstead act to pet mit the gale of Hght wines and beers, were the salient features of tho Democratic platform adopted at the state convention today. In naming the Ku Klux Kian, refererice was mide to the pledge of the national Démocratic platform, “to defend and maintain the cot stitutional liberties of. all citizen: of all races, of all classes and of all religions,” and continues, “we un- equivocally condemn the Ku Kiux Klan. It seeks to subject the so ereign state to the will and wishes of its own invisible empire. It further seeks to create intol- erance by secret appeal and masked attack against particular ~ classes based on race, religion or color. Its objects and its activities are dia- metri¢ally opposed to the funda- mental principles upon which our government was founded and to the liberal, principles of the Democratic marty.” “Republican corruption” in Wash- ington was.attacked, with particu, lar reference to the oll disclosures und the Fordney-McCumber tariff act. | issue of the campaign, asserts the platform, is» ‘honesty in gov- ernment.” = BO.

COAL CREEK DISASTER ON RAILROAD OCCURRED -YEAR AGO T@MORROW Tomorrow is the first anniver- sary of the Cole creek wreck, the greatest train catastrophe in the history of Wyoming.. An un- known number of persons, con- servatively estimated at from 30 to 40, lost thefr lives and of this number only 24 bodies have been recovered, Starting out of Casper in a heavy rain, Chicago, Burlington & Quincy train No. 30, seemed a year ago tomorrow night to be des- tined for its regular run to \Den- ‘ver. Fifteen miles east of Cas- per, at Cole creek, destiny took a hand and the train never finished its run. Cole “creek, ordinarily a dry stream or with #o little water in it that it can’ be waded with ease, was a raging torrent from the downpour of the previous two days. The torrential flow of wa- ter had weakened the piles under “ the bridge and when No. 30 struck, the bridge that night the structure collapsed hurling the engine, ten- der, mail car, smoking car and one \Pullman. sleeper into the creek. Two Pulmans remained on the tracks on the west side of the creck and, the express ;car miracu- ; lously /#isidded across the top of _ the ‘engine as it went down and ) split wide open™from end to end KINDLER FILES FOR SENATOR DESPITE DEMOS G. R. Hagens, Natrona county Republican committeeman, arrived in.Casper this morning. from. Chey- enne with the interesting news that Democratic state leaders were at the capital yesterday making stren- uous last minute efforts to head off the filing of George HE. Kindler for senator from Wyoming. Kindler could rot be steered away however ‘and formally placed his filing just 10 minutes before the office of the secretary of state closed for the day. ‘Yesterday was the ‘ast day on which filings for office could be made. Kindler’s declaration of candi- dacy was made in a Sheridan speech several weeks*ago, and he already has done considerable campaigning in his own interest and that of the LaFollette-Wheeler ticket, Among others who were closeted with Kindler, yesterday in secret political pow wows were Dr. J. R. Hylton, chairman of the stafe Dem- ocratic committee and H. 4H. Schwartz,~ prominent Casper Dem- ocrat, 4 ‘The Demorcatic party in Wyo- ming seems to feel that Kindler, a dirt farmer from Powell and strongly socialistic in his leanings, will cap- ture many of the votes that would ordinarily go to the party. Good news for the G. O. -P. was also brought into local headquarters yesterday by Dick Keenan of Sher- idan who believes that the Republl- can party will carry both Johnson and Sheridan counties by comfort- able majorities, as it crashed on the opposite side of the creek. Those who visited the wreck the next day, and ‘they were legion, will never forget the scene of hor- Tor that met their eyes. Under a ghastly grey sky, with alternate snow and rain falling to add to the desolation and dreari- ness, workers frantically dammed the creek to get at the partly sub- merged cars, The first body was taken out of the wreck 31 hours after the ca- tastrophe and it was 10 days be- fore the last of the cars had been lifted out of the sand in which they had been buried. ‘The weather today brings back vividly the days preceeding end immediately following the wreck. Then as today, rain and snow fell and a cold breeze nipped across the country.
