Four-fifths of the people of the solid south - states, including hundreds of thousands more white men and women than bli have no voice in government in the group of states controlled by the solid south oligarchy, which is grossly misrepresex ve of the people of the south, and is dor ed by the professional office-hold- ing and privilege-seeking class. As a result of this system the election returns every two years show that in most localities in most of these states elections are a travesty. More people cast their ballots in the one Repub- lican state of Llinois in 1920 than in all the "eleven solid south states, plus Oklahoma. by At a recent-state convention of the Republi- +, cans of North Carolina a suit case full of affi- ®.. davits showed 31 different varieties, not mere- E ly instancés, of registration and election fraud. ‘+ Typical of these cases was one in which ‘the =". registrar of a Republican precinct went hunting on election. day, hiding the registration books. The courts ‘decided that under the thimble-rig- ging elections laws of the state every yoter in the precinct was thus automatically disfranchis- ed and there was no recourse. In a precinct in ~ Wilkes county the vote of an entire Republican precinct was thrown out by the canvassing board, despite the fact that no protest had been made by anyone during the election of any irregular- © ity,,anl the laws are. such that there was no method of thwarting this crooked procedure. Tf the Democratic and LaFollette politicians who yawp loudly about “Newberryism” and other election and primary scandals, real and alleged, in Republican states were not hypocrites, they would long ago have given attention to this sit- uation. They wouldNiave carried out the man- date of the constitution providing for the re- duction of representation in congress and the #lectoral college of states which thus reduce their electorate. Because they are hypocrites they strain at a gnat and swallow a camel. Elections cannot be bought, but they. can be stolen. Except for tyranny and theft at least » three or. four of the southern states now domi- nated by crooked political oligarchies would this year register actual public opinion, and cast their , electoral votes for the Republican national ticket. So far from denouncing and helping to correct these conditions, the LaFollette bloc in congress was last winter and spring in close combination with the rotten borough senators and congress- men who stand for the perpetuation of these abuses, striking at the very root of popular * 4 AALEEER EASES ‘c+ government. They joined with the Democrats in the house in seating a Tammany congvessman shown to have been elected by the grossest fraud. In other words, these demagogues are playing the game for. popularity and not for honest gov- ernment. They can see no votes for themselves in attacking oppression and corruption denying a voice in government to the masses of the peo- = ple in these fraud-ruled states. Therefore the +. matter does not interest them. They are the real representatives of dishonesty and autocracy in American politics. LaFollette and the Court Once, concede, which the LaFollette proposition = does that any law which the congress might pass is right and valid, provided it passes it the sec- ond time following the court’s adverse decision, you have destroyed all safeguards of individual liberty. If it be argued that the congress would not attempt such things, the answer is that the con- gress has already attempted such things many times. The congress nuthorized the criminal prosecu- tion of a man after compelling him to testify before a grand jury, and its action was prevented only by a decision of the supreme court in 1892 in the case of Counselman versus Hitchcock. The congress authorized a re-trial in a federal court of a case already tried and settled in be- half of the plaintiff. This was prevented by the supreme court in 1870 in the case of Justices versus Murray. The congress authorized the taking of prop. erty for public uses without compensation, and this act was prevented by decision of the su preme court in 1893 in Monongahela Navigation company versus United States. The congress authorized the imprisonment of persons at hard labor without even the formality. of an indictment by a grand jury. This action was prevented by a decision of the United States. supreme court in 1890 in Wong Wing versus = United States. The congress.authorized an appeal by the goys Phat barge ernment in a criminal case after the accused had ‘ben found not guility by a jury, this putting the accused in jeopardy twice ‘for the same act, in violation of the constitution This was prevented | nave been through a real financial by the supreme court in a decision in 1909 in| panic, it must seem unutterably fool- the case of United States versus Evans.

If Senator LaFollette’s proposal were a fact, | w; congress would be permitted ‘to do anything it] ously unjust. wanted to do, which now is in vialation of the] sentative working man. He was iily constitution. For example, it could pass a law requiring a religious test as a qualification ‘for public office.

It could pass a law denying the right of people peaceably to assemble. It could by mere majority vote wipe out the amendments of the constitution which give ‘wo- men the right to vote and which give negroes the right to vote. It could impose a tax duty on articles exported from any state into another state. It could g preference by law to the ports of one state over those of another state. All these and many other things are forbidden by the constitution, but the LaFollette proposal would over-ride the tonstitution in event con- gress saw fit to pass such laws. twice-—once be- fore the cour’t decision and once after it. Tf a congress were elected which was con- trolled by the “wets” it could pass a law making the sale of liquor lawful in spite of the Volstead act and the prohibition amendment. Under the LaFollette plan if the supreme court declared such a law in violation of the constitution, the congress covld re-pass the law and thereby make it permanent. ‘ On the other hand, if.a congress were clected which was overwhelmingly “dry,” it could pass a law authorizing the search of private houses, personal baggege and even the’ clothing and per- son of individuals, without a search warrant. If the supreme court declared this law’ unconsti- tutional, as it would be the congress could-make it the law nevertheless by the simple process of re“enacting 1i. The LaFollette partyclaim their plan is need- ed in order to stop the habit of supreme court nullifying acts of the congress and usurping power. The records of the supreme court do not bear out this charge. The supreme court has been in existence from 1789, a period of 134 years. During that time it has. rendered 29,310 decis- ions, Of that number only 48 declared acts of the congress to be in violation of the constitu- tion. This does not look as though declaring acts of congress unconstitutional had become a con- firmed habit with the supreme court, As to the charge that the court does this in order to usurp power and make this a govern- ment of judicial tryranny, it may be stated that six laws of the congress which the court decided unconstitutional were declared unconstitutional upon ‘the ground that congress had attempted to confer, power on the court which the constitu- tion did not authorize or -justify. This certainly would not indicate a desire on the part of the supreme court for ugurpation of power. Sixteen of the 48 congressional laws declared unconstitutional were so declared on the ground they violated the rights of states. In. other words, the decisions were rendered not in order to usurp power for the supreme court, but to preserve to the several states the power and right and privilege which the consti- tution expressly gives them. Seven of the 48 decisions declared acts of con- gress unconstitutional because they attempted to do specific things which the constitution express- ly says congress does not haye the power to do. This accounts for 29 out of the 48 decisions of the supreme court declaring acts of congress unconstitutional. The remaining 19 were declared unconstitutional because they violated the rights of individual citizens, such as depriving them of their liberty, their property, their freedom of worship and speech, their right to assemble Reaceably, etc. In other words, the supreme court, instead of being an instrument of tryranny, oppressing the public and depriving them of liberty has, quite to the contrary, sided with the people to protect their rights guaranteed by the constitution against an attempt of congress to deprive them of these rights. Senator La¥Follette’s proposal is to take from the people and the states this bulwark of their liberty and leave them defenseless against any and ‘all legislation which congress in a time of passion and high excitement might enact. Senator LaFollette also makes much of the fact that court decisions have been handed down by a mere majority of one. The actual facts are these—that during the period of 184 years only nine of tle 29,810 decisions have been made by a majority of one. Wheeler's Place in. History Many people have found trouble in classifying Senator Wheeler, LaFollette-Socialist nominee for vice president. The task is now made easy Senator Wheeler modestly described his place i hi low: A D ory in his Boston Labor day address as fol- “IT am willing to be classed with Samuel ams * * * T am willing to be classed with rick Henry, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas JJef- ferson and Abraham Lincoln * * * Christ was the greatest radical of all times * * * IT do not object to being classed as a radical with Paul Reyere!” X citieniaeess The congress has twice attempted to impose 1] man on the side walk say to his duty or tax on articles being exported from one | wife, “No I'll be damned if I'll buy te prevented | * Casper paper, they wouldn't either Che Casper Daily Cribuye matters that come into the United oxen States senate, when you know, and T know, and every man in) Wyoming knows that no new senator could wield. the same power for the good of Wyoming, that Warren can? X r FRED PATEE. - The Golf Widow The golf widow ts a product. of civilization and the desire of . hus- Jands to play golf. She is unlike the sob story widow in that.she is not compelled to go’ along the railroad right-of-way and pick up coa’ that has dropped from pass- ing cars. Neither does she have to take in washing to obtain money to clothe the children. In some other-respects she bears a. resemb- lanec to the wife whose husband has passed on. Husbands who have: found it extremely difficult rise before eleven or twelve ‘clock during ‘the winter, \ now find that they can get up by 7 or 3 o'clock. Automobiles which dur- ing the cold months — havo — stood neglected the greater part of Sun- day, now arouse the neighborhood with their comparatively early morning barking. : The golf widow is the recipient of many excuses, though if asked pearly in the year, before the golf fever has innoculated her husband, she could enumerate every one of them. There is the stock one about having to go out to get a little ex- ercise and the mind off business. ‘There is another, almost equally stock, of having to go to the links because. there are so many men desirable in a business way who spend their time there: It may be, too, that a head of the firm has asked one of the executive staff to take the company’s visitors out for a session. But whatever the reason, the re- sult is the same. The wife of the winter is the golf widow of the spring, summer and fall. She may have tried a score of times to get her husband up sufficiently early on Sundays to.do the small tasks that must be done round the house, She may have volunteered’ to set the alarm earlier in the morning, so that he may fix one thing or another before’ hé goes ‘to the of: fice. The reaults have been neglig- ible. But during the golfing sea- Stand by Warren Editor Tribune:—To the men who ish to hear a sane’ workingman tals. about voting for LaFollette.

Corn huskers and farmers started in with the best skilled mechanics at the same wage and after awhile when they got the hang of the work and were put on,plece work they got up to $6.00 and $8.00 and $10.00 per day.

It would be a calamity to have any other. man represent Wvoming in the United States senate at this time but our old tried and true’ Warren. Why should we start in again at the tail_end of the management of the affairs of the United States after waiting for twenty-five years to get at the head of the Senate? It would be the very height of folly to replace @ man who holds the power of the United States senate in his right hand, by a young man who would have to wait twenty-five years to at- tain that same power, if indeed he was ever able to do it. Only one man in ten thousand could ever attain the power in the United States senate that Warren has today. Why replace him with son she does not have to insist on Yearly rising. A husband that would rail at the idea of. getting his own breakfast at other times will arise alone, tiptoe around in the hope that. the widow will not awake enough*to asi him if it is neces- sary to get out so early, and go dewa tothe kitchen and get his own meal. He may leave the stuck-up. dishes for his widow to wesh on hour-or so later, but he'll not ask her to et up and get his breakfast and then go back to bed. He's~so cosiderate! The reaction to golf fever fs not tho same in all cases. In some koumes the suggestion has been put forth by the wife and golf widow that a man who can swing a, golf club from morning to night can just as easily find time after the week- day ¢vcning meal to cut the grass, and do a few oda jobs about tho @ardex ‘and yard. ‘The’ smart hus- bard often tmclines his ear to this reasoning and keeps on good terms with his wife. Some others of the golfing clan “are so shortsighted thar they can ‘not: find time to do yara duty. Their lot; is not ex- actly pleasant. = No: one can’ blame a golf widow if she rebels against the idea. not only of being deprived of a husband, but also of being forced to do all: the work.
