Kenyon Speech Draws Large Crowd at Methodist Church
Senator Kenyon spoke in the town’s Methodist church, urging the church to act beyond teaching faith to improve living conditions. He cited mining and labor outrages in Colorado and West Virginia, blamed greed, praised church resolutions calling for action, and urged citizens to support humane intervention only if needed. The report also describes a new six‑acre school building six miles from Swea City and eight or nine from Ledyard, with multiple departments, modern facilities, and staged busing for students.
