FOR STRICT LAWS
 ON RADICALS
(From Thursdays DaiIy.)

Governor CampbelIs stand on the radical situation is fully and convinc- ingly expressed in the following state ment, issued by him in connection with the call of the Mesa Post of the American Legion for his views. The statement was made to New York newspaper which asked for the views of all the governors on the I. w. w. incident at Centralia, and has beer communicated to the local Legion post:
 The unprovoked murder of mem bers of the American Legion at Cen tralia, Armistice Day, while express ing through the medium of parade the noblest emotion which civilized man has yet developed-patriotism- has again brought to the front the vital question as to how we shall deal with those engaged in concerted eff fort to ruin our industries and destroy our government. Their objects and teachings are nothing more or less than treason and their punishment should be meted out on that basis. Al one time l advocated deportation to their native lands as the best remedy to be applied and immediately there arose a great hue and cry.
 Tt was ever thus.
 "They propose and do use violence upon others but vehemently protest when any of their so-called constitu tional rights are threatened to be in vaded Their doctrines mean the re turn to a condition of primeval bes- tiality the consequences of which are general disorder, social anarchy, pov- erty and distress, hunger and cold anC sold and ignorance and vice, condi- tions which we now witness i'll Russia as the result of Bolshevism-which is I. w. Wism only under a different name. The propaganda of murder and destruction of property calls for drastic and immediate action, actior which will once and forever stamr out this curse. To carry out my idea I would suggest that the initiative be taken by the national government, its organization for the purpose of ef- fectiveness being supplemented by cooperation of the duly constituted police powers of state, county and city.
 This element feeds and waxes fat upon publicity. One of its greatest sources of satisfaction is to bask 1T the limelight and therefore, it would be well to embark on the enterprise and carry it to completion without the noise of tom-toms or the blare of trumpets. Once started, there should be no cessation in the work until the government IS i'll a position to say that the I. w. w. and other traitorous societies have been wiped out of ex- istence. and their members dragged out of cover and subjected to the punishment they so richly deserve.
 Although deeply deploring the death of the American Legion men, ] feel that their sacrifice has not beer made in vain as their martyrdom has aroused the American people to the danger which menaces its national life. The danger is not a new one but until lately the country has seem ed indifferent and apathetic, failing tc heed the words o fthose, who, with experience have preached the doct- rine of preparedness against these formidable but insidious foes of gov ernment. Now the demand is insist cnt and universal that halt be called immediately, and that it has reached Washington is evidenced by the raids conducted by the department of jus ticc during the past few days Ii is my sincere hope and desire that these raids are simply the prelude to a well directed and systematic crusade hay ing for its unfaltering determination the extermination of these human vermin."
