Still. ANARCHISTS AND REDS

The bourbon machine which is conducting

all who disagree with II and its Vaccinations
are anarchists and reds. The coming days, no
doubt will find the familiar words, "disoyal-
lists" pro Germans" and H. w WIS" also In
use
Mr. Chairman Harrison, In charge Of the
democratic publicity bureau, is sending out
story to the press which begins, Anarchists and
tho politicians--of 'hc two which is the greater
evil?"
The politicians Of course are those in
charge OF the bourbon machine which has SO
outraged every sense of decency during recent
months--rcspunsb for the road bond graft

tho "pardoning orgy" while the anarchists
arc all OF those who oppose the machine for any
reason whatever,
II has reached the point In oklahoma where
to escape the defamation squad operating under

must accept willingly what the machine offers

It has been said that the position Of tho demo-

force that It was not reasonable. II is his-
torical verify, however, that under the hot
headed leadership Of few 1t forced tho party
TO stand for the destruction OF the union, and
that vast numhor Of democrats followed their
lead In order to be regular rather than the issue
because OF their conviction that It was either
sound right
All this siof little or no consequence to those
of us who are now facing another issue OF equal
import II not similar nature. The point n ls
desired 10 impress Ia that the position OF the
wilson Cox democracy on the issue of 1890 is
more reasonable than was the position Of the
democratic leaders In 1850. They only sought
a divided authority with their blood brothers.
The democratic leaders OF today seek To bring
about a divided authority with foreign nations.
The World has been the victim Of some severe
criticism because OF former statement to the
effect that democracy In this campaign is very
much tingod with treason. We refer to the mat
