Profit by Others Experience

As = start, complete control of the
State government OF Washington in
1920 is proposed in plan outlined by
the triple alliance" A convention
is to be held in Seattle in 1920 to
bring together the radicals Of all ty-
pes into one compact political organ
ization.
The l. w. W., the Nom Partisan
league and the labor Bolshevists will
be In control and the legislative pro-
gram adopted will undoubtedly be
In favor Of destruction Of private
property and individual property
rights, for state socialism is the goal
Of the triple alliance"
This movement is merely an extern
sion of the North Dakota social
istic experiment with the latest rad
ical program added to 1t.
The danger lies in the organization
Of the radicals more than in the
numbers.
Sane laboring men and conserva-
tive farmers will not join the move
'ment but they are unorganized,
hence the danger.
North Dakota received q sad les
son by allowing radicalism to secure
control Of the state. Other western
states can profit by her experience.
