 MENT AND THE ESTABLISHED ORDER.

RUSTGARD DECLARES WAR ON GOVERN MENT AND THE ESTABLISHED ORDER John Rustgards speech, which he has circulated as pahphlet under tlie title of The Spirit of the Tmes" is a direct appeal to Socialism, the Red Rad- calls the Bolshevsts, and attack on the institu- tions of our country-incadng the courts of law and equity The threat of revolution in our industrial, social governmental structure runs throughout the eommunistic pamphlet We ask the voters to give careful attention the following extracts and to consider whether not they do not regard Mir Rust gard as dangerous put in high public office MT. Rusgard says
 Presently we shall make nineteen more amendments the Constitution. And when we are through amending the Constitution we shall commence tC amend the amendments the Constitution
 Would not be good plan to ask Mir Rustgard to give a list the proposed amendments? However, we may gain idea Of what he means from the following
 He says:
 We are not going be mimcs of our great grandfathers. We not going to be content with reconstructing the temples Of our fathers gods We going to build temples of our own ideals
 In other words MT. Rustgard plans to demolsh the structure built by the makers of the United States He proposes to uprcot the work of the Con stution builders, He proposes to erect new Amerl- Government,
 Some light on the character the proposed Rust gardian America may be S2aneu rom the lollo"lh7 which not cnly apologize for Red activities in the United States, sample of which burst on Wall Street other day when thirty-four lives wer sacrificed purpose of those who do not like th American Government, and more than two hundfe2 others injured!
 MT Rustgard speaks approvingIy those who are;
 "Contemptous of traditions resentful of restraints"
 This is the attitude of the anarchist. He is con temptious of traditions of Americans and resent ful of the restraints of the law
 He says:
 Do you realize that there and never will be- a revolution an attempt at revolution in any country where the gov ernment is progressive and in harmony with the spirit of the times?
 If red rash was breaking your bet aua vou went the doctor he would tel efs this rash not itself an evil but that it only the manifestation of an evil. He would tell you that it was only alarm clock. designed by Providence to notify you that there is something wrong with you. The nasty Red Peril should serve the purpose-it is only an alarm clock, danger signal, warning you that there is something wrong inside the body polite, and it is up to us 10 find out what is the matter and correct it
 Would that have sounded fine from the lips of a defender late friends. sawyer and Fogarty who set out 10 change the form of Government in Alaska? Rustgard admits that there is nc reason why people should complain of poverty or chance make a living and prosper, for he says:
 Wages. even in proportion to the cost Of living, have increased in leaps and bounds until today those who unable to earn a comfortable living by reasonable exertion are very few indeed WE ARE FAST REACH ING THE POINT WHERE THE AVERAGE MAN HAS JUST AS MUCH WEALTH AS IS GOOD FOR HIM"
 Rustgard throws further light on the changes he proposes make in tho country wEen he says:
 ''@ Our administration has had noth- ing apply the situation. except old, out, inadequate formulas. The Chief Executive the country has been adverse 10 calling his counsel of penetrating intellect, who could read the signs of the times You cannot argue with the spirit the times. It not the product Of human logic, and its well as its ultimate purpose lies far beyond human vision The forces which shape the course events wiser than any in- dividual CT of individuals"
 The President has called into counsel the Con perses the Hoovers, the Russells. the Eots. tn greatest of publicsts and producers Twice has had conferences of the leaders of labor capita and the greatest students economic problems and sociology the country has produced Whom would MT. Rustgard have had him call in? He says 'yon can
