 Other Big Parties

Scoring tho democrat and republi- can parties for inefficiency in indus trial and other matters and holding forth the Farmer-Labor party as the only political organization which could give the people a businesslike government and restore the country 10 a sound industrial basis. Farley Parker Christensen. presidential can didate on the Farmer-Labor ticket, urged support for that party last evening in an address at Turner Hall. An audience of several hundred per sons listened to Mr. Christensen's re- marks. The speaker was introduced by Henry F.. Gardiner. chairman of the local branch of the Farmer-Labor party and a candidate on that ticket for the office of lieutenant governor.
 Guard Against Waste
 The speaker assured the audience. in his introductory remarks that no glory or honor is being sought by the party he represents but that the aim is the establishment of a serviceable government. In spite of. rather than through the agency of the capitalists and captains of industry, the speaker said. this country has grown to its present position of industrial import ance. He cited instances of alleged "dSNtSs psii HI eihS handling of coal which, he claimed. had made it necessary to charge ex- cessive prices. He promised that no such wastes would be permitted under the party he represents.
 Attacks Senator Harding
 Senator Harding. candidate on the republican ticket for presidential hon. OTIS, is owned by party leaders and a few plutocrats of the old Mark Hanna crowd. he alleged. At this point the speaker disgressed for a moment to offer an apology for his own former affiliations with the republican party He paid a tribute to William G. Me Adoo, he claimed, had been side tracked because he displayed too much red blood for the modern politi- cal parties and might be instrumental in having the men organized for their own good.
 Calling upon the gathering to point out to him one act of the republi1 can party that was of benefit to the people or one constructive measure for the benefit of any industrial cen ter Mir. Christensen agreed to vote the republican ticket upon being con- vinced.
 In the event of his election. the candidate promised that one of his first official steps would be to throw the present cabinet out of the win dow and replace it with cabinet of workers from the factories or other industrial centers in place of the present Wall street representation, as he termed it. He prophesized that Farmer-Labor president would come eventually and perhaps before many of those present expected it.
 Hits League Of Nations.
 Touching briefly upon the League of Nations, MT. Christensen said it was a devoid of red blood as was John n. Rockefeller. He caustfcally criti- cized the moneyed men of Wall street for their lack of patriotism. Should the Farmer-Labor ticket be success full in the coming elections. MT. Christensen predicted that there would be no more wars. =.
 Among other things predicted by the speaker in the event of the cleo tion of anyone other than the Farmcr-Labor candidate was another coxey's army to march to Washing ton. If he is elected, he said. every men who made excess profits during the war will be landed behind the bars of federal prison.
