In other words, they are endeav-
oring to duplicate in this Common
wealth the tactics that proved sue
cessful in North Dakota.
THAT socialist plunderbund. the
N~onpartisan league, never would have
gotten anywhere in North Dakota had
it taken the field openly as a new or
~ganization.
THE farmers of that state were
restless, but they were not so restless
that they would have consented to
accept a Goddess, conscienceless So
cialist scheme. 4
The Nonpartisan league leaders
realized that fact. They wormed their
way into the Republican primaries
and had their favorites nominated.
Then they appealed to the staunch
Republicans in that staunchly Repub-
lican state to elect these Nonpartisan
league nominees.
"And the voters, farmers and 9TH
ers, shrugged their shoulders, said to
themselves, these men can't be as
bad a they are painted" and voted
the ~plunderbund into office.
THAT was Che only way the social
list carpetbaggers ever could have OBJ
tanned control Of affairs in North Da-
kota. =.
THAT is the only way a similar
bunch ever could hope to ride into
power in Washington. s
s.uod tho R-ov-or - &c. $500. -
up face to face in the open against the
Republican organization in North
Dakota, it would have been licked to
a fraz1le.'
ANY time the N~onpartisan league
makes that kind of a fight in the state
of Washington it will be trounced as
hard as the Triple Alliance has been
in every effort it has made to saddle
a machine yoke on Seattle's neck.
These trouble makers cannot gel
Nanywhere unless they sneak into a
reputable political organization. 4
Naturally, because this state o
mally is Republican, they will endeav-
or to get control of that party in the
primaries +
Now is the time to begin planning
to defeat these schemes.
Nov is the time to arrange to keen
the Republican primaries clean.
There is more political sense out
side the Triple Alliance and the Non.
partisan league than there is in both
these organizations. i
There is more honesty, decency
and real progress in the Republican
party In this state than there is in al
the organizations of socialist Garnet.
