TV WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1920. LEGION REFUSES TO JOIN PARADE OF LABOR UNIONS Object to Participation Be cause La Follette Candidate for Governor Has Been Se- . lected as Speaker. CMeay TrlboBc-Omaha B Id Wire. Janesville, Wis.," Aug. 31. Action refusing to participate in a Labor day parade to be "held here Sep tember 6 by labor .unions of the city was taken last night by the Janes ville American Legion because John T. Blaine, candidate for governor of Wisconsin, is being sent by Robert M. La Follette to speak in his place. A resolution unanimously adopted, stated that any participation by the legion in the parade would not only be an endorsement for Blaine for governor, but would uphold La Fol lette in his candidacy for the United States senate. Part of the resolution reads: "Participation by Janesville Amer ican Legion in any program in which Mr. Blaine appears as spokes man for Senator La Follette, whose attitude in the war, was such as to bring disgrace upon Wisconsin's soldiers and citizens,, would not only be a direct endorsement of Mr. Rhine's candidacy for governor of Wisconsin, but also a direct endorse ment of Senator La Toilette's can didacy for re-election to the United States senate." Members of the legion wanted it clearly understood that they have no. fight with labor and would glad ly participate in the parade if Blaine were not to speak. However, they declared that they clearly remem bered the many insults they re ceived while in the army as soon as men fom other states learned they hailed from Wisconsin, which was due directly to La Follctte's stand on the war.

Harding Urges More Aid For Reclamation Service In Speech to Governors Nominee Pictures Western Country as Wonderland Holding Undeveloped Possibilities of Great Value and Suggests Home' for Service Men on Re claimed Land in Talk to Western Executives. By Tb AHoelated TreM. Marion, O.,. Aug. 31. More feder al aid in reclaiming and conserving the nation's natural resources, par ticularly in the west, was advocated by Senator Harding today in an address here to a group of republi can governors. The nominee pictured the western country as a wonderland holding undeveloped possibilities of great value in the present period of food shortage, and suggested that for mer service men might be furnished homes on reclaimed western lands. Quoting Theodore Roosevelt's re clamation policies, Senator Harding declared one of the greatest tasks in the immediate future was to take up again the reclamation and con servation work fostered by Roose velt and neglected since the demo crats came into power. West Awaits Magic Touch. "There is an undeveloped moun tain west awaiting the, ''touch of genuis and industry," said Senator Harding, "and there are doubtless thousands of service men who woul be glad to turn to this most dc-. sirable development very much as service men did in the after-period of the civil war. "There are, of course, differences in condition, and the mountain lands are not so ready to answer man's call as were the prairies; but with a heloful doIicv on the part of gov ernment these lands can be made available for limitless contributions to the sustenance of the republic and the compensation of those who par ticipate in developing them. Must Expand Food Supply. "Intensive industrial development and the concentration of population in cities cannot go on unless we have an expansio of the food supply upon which they depend tor susten ance. "Our vision of the ultimate de velopment of the mountain empire, reveals a great jregion, developed uniformly, with regard to all its variegated possibilities. I have never been able to think of 'reclama tion' as connoting merely the con struction of ditches, and dams, and reservoirs, to put water on dry lands.
