The people will soon know how
much their wishes amount to in
the management OF their affairs.
Republican voters, including 30
per cent Of workmen in the Re-
publican party, want to see Hiram
johnson nominated.
A great army Of Democrats, and
Independents also, want to vote
for Johnson. IL he is nominated
his victory will be the greatest
since the defeat of Greeley, no
matter whom the Democrats may
nominate.
A few men, insignificant in num-
bers, great in wealth and influ-
ence, who believe that the country
belongs to them and should be
managed for them, do not want
johnson, and are determined to
defeat him. Before the end Of
this week the people will know
what their influence amounts to.
1t is hard to believe that corpora
tion influence, Old Guard disci-
pline, or steam roller methods will
be able to defeat johnson. He is
fighter and is in Chicago, ready
to do his own fighting.
Republicans that first Of all
uant victory must reaiize that II
Johnson is cheated, koaotoing as he
does, that the people hare chosen
him, he toiu be bound in honor to
shoto appreciation of tho support
by leading an independent move
nlent; that 1Oould make Republican,
victory impossible.
If the Republicans want the
next President of the United
States a Republican, let them
nominate Johnson, the strongest
man in their party, one of the
h ablest in the nation, the only man
spontaneously selected by the
voters for the important work that
is ahead.
Trotzky, Lenin's assistant, gov
erning Russia, declares for alb
solute control of labor by the gov
ernment. Mechanics and other
workmen must work wherever the
government tells them to work.
The army will see that they do it.
Bolshevism does not mean to fail
through lack of production.
This seems strange to US, but 1T
need not.
Russia is at war with the whole
world, practically, since, all civil
lied governments wish for her
downfall. She is too big to be
conquered by her own ine6iciehcy,
yet big prize fighter sometimes
loses by firing himself out
It is natural that in an enaer-
gency Bolshevism should compel
men to work, just as eur kind of
government, in emergency. COM
f, pels men to stop workSng and go
out to fight.
Lenin forces citizens against
their will to man machines in fac
tories, producing whas the coun-
try needs. We ca!' that Bolshe-
visit anarchy.
Our kind of government forces
men to man machine guns and
kill other men with whom they
have no personal quarrel. We
call that civilization"
Ludendorff, educated, powerful
man, and a great fighters when he
had the men to fight with, says:
Endless anarchy faces Europe"
If that be so, how long viii it
take Brown Asia and the Black
regions to realize their oppor-
tunity? With Europe strong and
growing, America and Europe
could manage the world, holding
Asiatic barbarism in check while
striving to develop real white civil
ization.
But with Europe crippled by
fighting, disease, and poverty, it
is impossible to foretell the fu-
! ture. All the more important to
keep this North American con-
tinent as nearly as Possible all
white, a white breeding ground
for future ages when the storm is
over.
Canada with her laws against
Asiatic immigration, New Zealand
with absolute exclusion, are help
ing In tne WORN.
Lloyd George tells striking rail-
road workers thnt they dmust"
help send munitions Of war to
Ireland. Otherwise "the govern
ment will fight you with ell ITS
resources"
The interesting fact is that
workingmen, including railroad
workers, are "all the governments
resources" Take away working
men and what resources has the
government left?. Cabinet min
isters and law makers without the
workers would be IS urtimportant
as mere tellers Of fairy stories.
Lloyd George knows this: there
