.FARME R LABOR
PARTY CANDIDATE
Candidate Christensen Gives
His Views on Campaign,
Assailing Both
Parties.
GROWING AUTocRAT1c
Real Issue Is Whether We Shall Have
Democracy of Industry or
Continue to
Drift.

[By Farley Parker Christensen. Cam
didate of the FarnerLabor Party,
Written for the United Press.1
copyright 1920 by the United Press.l
SPOKANE, Wash, Oct. 29.-The
real issue in the present campaign is,
shall we have democracy in industry
or shall we continue to drift tn tho
direction that the Cummins- -Esch bill
and the Kansas industrial court plan
to have us go.
Industry in America must either be
autocratic or democratic. At the pres
ent time we see it growing more and
more autocratic. The farmerlabor
party demands that it be democratic.
In accomplishing the democratiza-
ton of industry our process or method
is to give the workers, artisans and
technicianS an increasing share in
the responsibilities and management
of industry, this to be done or this
principle to be developed, in the light
Of actual experience in operation.
This principle and purpose is set for
ward in the platform on which the
farmer-labor party entered the present
campaign.
We have not been able to get either
Senator Harding or Governor Cox to
lisp q single word or statement on this
fundamental issue. They have march
ed forward with their shadow boxing
contest over the league Of nations.
l have found that oar program Is
heartily received and endorsed by
those of the voters we can reach, and
if our message through the press or
otherwise reaches the people we will
go over the top. AS to results, while
i am not sufficiently experienced as
a politician to make predictions off
hand, feel quite certain at this time
that we will carry enough western
states to throw the election of the
next president into the house Of rep
resentatives, and then it depends on
how many congressman we have
whether Christensen will be elected.
There are indications that We will
get several members of congress, no.
ably in New York, in the Hartford
district Of Connecticut, Pennsylvania,
Indiana and Illinois. In the states OF
Washington and South Dakota we will
go over the top, sweeping everything
from governor to dog catcher.
The outstanding feature OF this
campaign to me is that neither in their
speeches or their platforms have the
candidates of either major party said
a word or given an outline Of any plan
of reconstruction Of industry.
enter the final days of this cam
paign convinced of the integrity and
the native strength of our cause and

Says He Will Never Have Anything

That Section in ....
Staff Correspondent.7


WITH SENATOR HARDING, EN-
ROUTE TO CINCINNATI, Ohio, Oct.
Ex-senator Warren G. Harding was
to carry his campaign into southern
Ohio today with a swing down to Gin
cinnah where he speaks tonight.
In his Ohio campaign thus far. Sena-
tor Harding is confining himself large
ly to rehearsing of his former state
ments on leading issues laying espec-
ial emphasis on the league of nations
issue. -
Governor Cox was scheduled to ar
rive in Akron just as Senator Harding
left this morning.
It is the nearest the two candidates
have come to meeting face to face dur
ing the entire campaign, and Is typf
cal of the intense political activity in
this section of Ohio, which both par
ties are claiming.
= Senator Harding met the "oligar-
chy" charge in a new way in his Ak
ron speech. '.
I'm the freest man that was ever
nominated by any party he said. Il
am unpledged, unowned and Embossed.
l haven't made a promise save one
that isn't in the party platform"
This promise, he explained, was that
he would endeavor to create federal
department of social welfare.
Referring indirectly to President
Wilson's statement to pro-league re-
publicans at the white house, Sena-
tor Harding remarked that President
Wilson and the democratic candidate
are no longer agreed on article ten.
He did not elaborate, however, but
added that he will never have anything
to do with league that has article
ten in it.
AS to reservations, Harding is now
apparently trying to ecut the ground
from under Governor Cox who has re-
Gently laid emphasis on his willingness
to accept reservations. Reservations
Harding is telling his Ohio audiences
are not binding.
Virginia ratified the constitution
Of the United States with reserva-
tons" he said, "and then discovered
seventy-five years later when she tried
TO withdraw that they meant nothing.
Senator Harding took note or the
industrial situation now prevailing IN
many centers. Harding declared that
the federal reserve board should make
it easier for legitimate business to OBJ
tain working capital.
