Thty came from Mr. Kubli In the House and Mr. droits: in the Senate. Representative Kubli succeeded in jcetttns; his anti-Bolshevik and J. W. W. bill as No. 1 on the House calendar. and If it passes the two houses it will contain ample dynamite to blow those forms of terrorism and syndicalism from the state forever. Two .M aa mrrm OsiprrlifMlTe, All forms of sabotaa-e or cirimlna syndicalism, all propaganda which has for Its object the promotion of sabotage or criminal syndicalism, or any aiding r abettlna of such arts or t ie promo tlon of su-h acts will face heavy pen aitles if the bill becomes a law. In the Senate Mr. Piroick came in early with a similar bllL The KublJ, bill Is largely patterned after the Washing ton mrwurt. while the Lilmick bill is patterned after the Montana act.

"This measure merely means the first allsmment of decency, rood sTOVemment and order airalnst the insidious forces which are endeavor ins; to turn the state and Nation into a riot of bloodshed and revolution, llssace of this art will toll the knell of those forms of terrorism, which are abhorred by ail decent c-lttzens.

It developed that Iputy United Ptate Marshal Frank Tlchenor, a Democrat, was back of the campaign for sergeant-at-arms. partly because of Tlcheor's dislike of Joseph F. singer, whom he tried to de feat two years ago when Tlchenor was a member of the House.
