By DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to Tho Argus.

Washington, D. c., Ian. 6.-Not
everybody in the national capital
Is disposed to look with satisfac-
ton upon the dramatic roundup Of
hundreds of reds" by the depart
ment Of justice. Insofar as the
move shows the backbone Of the
Democratic administration and de-
prives its political opponents Of
the proprietary rights Of the ''law
and order" issue. it is of course ap-
proved by the purely political. In
sOfar as the move affects adversely
the chances Of Mitchell Palmer to
capture the Democratic nomina-
ton for the presidency. it meets
with the approval Of all the friends
Of the other candidates who seem to
see in the action of the department
OF justice an excessive zeal to do
by psychological impression in q
big raid what the department
might be unable to accomplish by
individual prosecutions. Under
such circumstances the innocent
are hauled In with the guilty. And
inasmuch as the labor vote and
alien vote has been largely Demo-
cratic, the prospect must be con-
sidered Of nominating a man who
has shown himself !nimical to
labor first by the sweeping use Of
the injunction power in the coal
strike and then In the raids on so
called reds" whose friends among
the laboring classes are many and
will not soon forget what they
construe as systematic persecution
not Of acts but opinions.
Conservatives Approve
So while big business and con-
servative elements in both the Re
publican and Democratic parties
will applaud Mr.. Palmer for ignor-
ing the political dangers to him
self, the best index Of what many
persons inside and outside the gov
ernment really think Of the policy
being pursued toward the radicals
is found In the half hearted express
