Demands Impeachment
A strong demand has set in for the removal' of Wil

Labor, because of startling disclosures showing official
leniency toward alien anarchists and other plotters
against the government. Ole' Hanson, late mayor of
Seattle, who is engaged in a vigorous Americanization
campaign, is calling for Secretary Wilson's impeach
ment. He bases this demand upon facts brought to
light in the Ellis Island investigation. Frederick C. Howe,
who resigned his post as immigration commissioner

turned loose, and who was on terms of friendship witli

plete change and .the removal of Secretary Wilson as
head of the department.
