ANOTHER EXAMPLE
OF LAWLESSNESS

The Duluth Mob Violence which broke lose a few nights ago. The National Advocate does not wish to be misunderstood. Lynch law is the purest anarchy. It is the substitution of mob violence for legal processes. It is absolutely inexcusable under any circumstances and those who take part in it ought to be punished as severely as possible. In the Duluth episode it was especially wanton because the mob was not sure and could not be sure that it was executing the guilty men. The police authorities claim they were powerless. Nonsense. The mob, a few months ago tried to do the same thing in Kentucky, and the good citizens there stopped it by shooting down five. Governor Coolidge of Boston, Mass. who will be the next Vice-President of the United States stopped this mob and this gang in his state and yet Duluth with all its intelligent citizens would allow a disgraceful affair of this kind to happen in its city.
At the Chicago Republican Covention the colored delegates from all parts of the country labored night and day with a Republican convention to put in their plank denouncing the mob rule, lynching and they absolutely refused. Who is responsible for these outrages, lynching and mob violence in America. The United States Senate and Representatives and the President of the United States will have to give account at the bar of God, for their stewardship while representing the people of the great United States all over the country in Washington, D. C.
During the Candidate is speaking tour through the state of Minnesota, the only one who mentioned and denounced the graceful affair at Duluth, was the Honorable Jacob Preus, who is a candidate for Governor on the Republican ticket and he denounced this graceful affair in the State of Minnesota.
