Washington, Oct. 13.-Slgns OF the
approaching collapse of Bolshevism in
Russia are seen by State Department
officials of the crumbling of soviet
authority on the Polish front and the
rapidly augmenting strength of anti
Bolshevist forces in southeastern
Europe nnder General wrangel.
Already consideration is being given
at the department, it was said, to
what may follow the end of soviet rule
in Russia.
The prospect of anarchy and chaos
In the event of soviet dissolution is
very real, according to officials, but
the belief was expressed that the To-
cal Zemstos have been so well or
ganized as to maintain u semblance of
order and some cohesion of economic
life until a stable government capable
of obtaining adherence of the major
ity of the Russian population shall
arise.
General mobilization of troops has
been ordered by the Lithuanian gov
ernment to repel the Polish lnsurgent
forces now in possession of wilma, the
Lithuanian capital, according to ad-
vices received by the Lithuanian mis-
sion. The dispatches also said the
Poles have demanded temporary pos
session of wilma pending a plebescite.
The mission also announced 1t had
been directed by its government to call
upon the United States to bring pres
sure on Polish government so as to
compel the evacuation of wilma.

anti-Bolshevist leader, has launched
his expected offensive against the new
Sixth army of the Soviet forces, shell
tered behind the Dnieper. General
Wrangel is carrying out plnching
movement converging on the town of
Kakhovka, northeast of Kherson.
General Wrangel's permanent north
front extends from Marlupol to the
Ekaterinoslav railway. His control
of the Sea of Azov has been assured
by the capture of 6,000 sailors at Ma
.riupol. He has cleaned out the soviet
forces which have been operating
along the net work of railways in the
Donetz basin.

The Times is informed that friends
of Hon. Orrin l.. Munger are bringing
influence to bear to secure him the ap-
pointment of U. S. District Attorney,
to take the place of Walter L. Hens
ley, who has resigned that position to
20 into law firm in st. Louis. Wheth-
er or not Mr.. Munger has agreed, or
would accept such position, we have
not been informed. The Times does
know, however, that should Mr.. Mum
ger be appointed to and accept the Of
flee of U. S. District Attorney at st.
Louis, the very important duties OF
such office would be attended to In an
efficient manner, that would be en-
tirely satisfactory to all who believe
in law enforcement. We know Mr..
Munger to have the ability, capacity
and honesty to see to it that the pres
emit manifold duties of that office are
rigidly performed. No better appoint
ment could be made to fill this vacan-
cy than that of o. L. Munger.

WHY JOIN A PARTY?

"Why join a party?" a great many
people ask, Neither party is what it
ought to be, always promising and
carrying out nothing, each one cor
rupt and extravagant in its manage
ment."
The Democratic party has always
advocated the interests of the com
mon people.
The Republican party has generally
believed in the principle that big in
terests of the country should be look
ed out for first, and that the great in
terests of the common people are of
secondary Importance.
| believe that the best interests of
our country can be best served in look
ing out for the great mass of COM
mon people first, and in keeping their
interests foremost.
When the Democratic party, came
into power eight years ago, it prom
Used certain legislation in the interest
of the common people generally. The
party, headed by President Wilson,
kept its promise, and under his leader
ship enacted legislation greatly bene-
fitting the masses of the country.
Among the things accomplished was
1.-THE Federal Reserve law, which pre-
vents financial panics and without
which we never could have financed
ourselves during the world war. A
number of other laws were enacted
during the first four years by the
Democrats, among which was the
eight-hour day law; the income tax
and excess profits tax law, which is
correct in principle in that it places
the burden of taxation on those who
are able to pay; the child-labor law
and other legislation in lettering the
interests of the working classes and
1.-THE welfare of the children of the
icountry.
The Democratic party believes in
fair play for both capital and labor
The future of our country largely de-
lpends upon fair play to both, and any
|party that does not show fairness ia
labor as we'll as capital cannot endure
| believe that the woman of this
country who will consider carefully
what each of the two great parties
stands for and the achievements ac-
complished by the present administra.
ton in the way of legislation, will
conclude that the Democratic party
represents her thoughts and ideals
and that the interests of her home and
children will be served through the
principles represented by the Demo.

know very well that the extreme views
of Johnson on the peace treaty would
be embarrassing for if he were the
nominee it would remove the cry for
the Lodge reservations. Senator
johnson voted against them all. So
as Johnson develops, the Republicans
must find some man who Stands
right" on the treaty issue. Gov. Low
den, Leonard Wood, Senator Harding
all wanted the Lodge reservations to
accompany Americas entrance into
the League. But to Offset johnson
somebody must be brought forth who
can carry the West, someone who is
also progressive and someone who
isn't too closely affiliated with East
ern Republicanism. That is what is
giving the Hoover supporters .enceur-
agement. They point to Herbert
Hoover Jas a progressive Republican
and Westerner. gs.eI 81
The California primaries win show
that he has strength in both parties.
The more johnson appears as the
menace to conservative Republican
ism, the more necessary will it be to
pick someone who can prevent John
son from forming a third party. Hoo
yer is popular outside of the political
organization. He is, moreover, liked
by business men who believe his judg-
ment would be more in sympathy with
large business enterprises and would
encourage individual initiative more
than would that of the radical Sena-
tor from California.
So, as the situation appears today,
the Republican conservatives of the
East are apprehensive of Senator
johnson. They fear a third party if
he is turned down at Chicago. And if
that doesn't happen, they realize what
the effect can be of Johnsonian ''sup-
port" There was no third party in
1916 and Hiram johnson supported"
Gov. Hughes, but the people of Cali
fornia know that the Senator was
merely keeping party pledges and
that he was affronted by the intimacy
of the Republican presidential nomi-
nee with the reactionary wing of the
Republican party in California.

JOHNSON'S STRENGTH
CAUSING ANXIETY IN RANKS
OF G. o. p; LEADERS FEAR
A THIRD PARTY

Washington, May l. Republican
politics is just now undergoing the
metamorphosis that few primary
elections always bring in the weeks
Immediately preceding a national cleo
ton. The leaders and politicians are
literally up in the air. And they may
look wise and talk sagaciously but
they are as much perplexed over the
future as the average observer. This
in itself is significant of change.
Months ago it was any Republican to
win. But with sheer force of personal
appeal, Senator Hiram johnson of Cal
ifornia has demonstrated in remark
ably short time that his following is
no accidental thing nor ephermeral
grouping of elements in the Republic
can party. His campaign has drawn
to his standard certain groups which
show uncomfortable signs Of revolt
ing from the Republican party if their
wishes do not prevail. The people
who took the trouble to go to the pri-
maries and write the Senator's name
in on the ballot are strongly suspected
of something more than passing al
legiance to what Hiram johnson has
heen preaching. From the viewpoint
Of the Democrats and friends Of the
White House. they constitute the in
dividuals who want to keep the treaty
from being being revived or the
League of Nations from being estab-
lished with or without reservations.
AS Johnson grows, the 2 Democrats
grow jubilant. Theyssee the Senator
from, California developing definite
lines Of cleavage aTheynhave main
tanned from the. beginning that the Re-
publican party wanted neither treaty
nor league, and the vote given John
! son has enabled the Democrats tt
soint to Johnson's views as the preva.
lent thought of the rank and file OF
the Republican party. This fits in with
President Wilson's desire to make the
treaty an issue and to brush aside the
Republican argument that Mr.. Wilson
would not accept the Lodge reserva.
ttions. The President has looked upon
Senator johnson as representing ths
opposition to the treaty and In order tc
give the next election the character
"of solemn referendum. his hope is
NATURALLY that Senator johnson will
win The Republican nomination.

NEW CANDIDATES ANNOUNCE

The name of c. /. Garrett, of Bis
marck, is presented to Times readers
this week as candidate for the DEM
ocratic nomination for Sheriff. Mr..
Garrett is so well known in every part
of St. Francois county, both as cit
izen and as an official, as to need no
introduction. In both such capacities
there is much that could be said to
his credit, while there is absolutely
nothing, The Times believes, that can
truly be said to his discredit. As Pre-
siding Judge of the County Court he
served the people of this county both
faithfully and well from 1914 to 1918.
During his term Of office, so it Is said,
more good roads were made and more
road machinery was purchased for
different parts Of the county, than was
ever before built and bought. For
four years Mr.. Garrett bore the brunt
of criticism for doing his duty, as ne
saw it, overwhelmingly. The SPLEEN
did results of his work are now appar-
cnt. and he and his friends feel that
his record as County Judge should
serve as a positive asset in his race
for Sheriff.
