 some strange prank of fate restored to power Then there is the Italian party whose members place a futile Italian imperialism over the interests of this nation and over and above the peacesof the world. There is the Tow wage party, an organization with a. definite understanding that the wages must come down to the levels of 1896 or 1908. I have encountered personally many members of this party. Then there is the suppression party, whose members say or secretly believe tl at every bit of progressive thought is to be choked by denying all classes of liberals the right to express them selves There is the Greek party and the Bulgarian party. with diverse aims but common purpose to punish those who considered the welfare of the world as rising superior to the claims of nationalistic ambition. There is the bayonet party, which believes martial law is solvent for all industrial ais putes. I have encountered it's mem bers, too, and they are thick upon the muster rolls of Will H.

 THE ISOLATION PARTY
 q assert that Senator Harding Is backed by the national isolation party, whose object is to secure autocratic position in tic world and whose, creed is selfishness. This party would pre- vent the hearing of the cases of op- pressed peoples of the world in .he nf Egypt, South Africa and Ireland ths right to press their claims for .ocal lf-determination.
 T charge that Senator Harding Is backed by the Liberty Bond specula- tors party, now arranging a sudden coup in these securities through some plan of reissue which will work to the prejudice of the taxpayers. I define as arrayed behind Senator Harding the anti-federal reserve act party, whose real purpose is to destroy the greatest l piece of legislation adopted by the Con- gress of the United States in half century.
 q find arrayed behind Senator Hard 1 ing the profiteer party, whose grati- tude is expressed for past immunity | from effective legislative action and which flames with anger when it con- l templates the profits denied 1t by the gradual reduction of prices under this | administration. Furthermore, this | party seeks to control the treasury de- | partment under a reactionary admins tration, so that they can escape the | payment of tax on incomes swollen by ! war profits.
 l Then there Is the anti-League of Nations party possessing a perfect un- l derstanding with Senator Harding that l he is to scuttle every plan looking to l international peace. l invite atten-
 tion to the obvious fact that its dual | leadership Senators Johnson and Borah, cannot say word in behalf of Senator Harding's reactionary brand of republlcanism, nor in behalf of the boss control of the Chicago convention. nor yet in defense of the slush fund | that Borah once characterized as the most frightful thing in American poll itics. This destructionist array con tains the munitions making party, an | organization with a vast propa ganda fund at its disposal. ready and eager to embroil the world in fresh wars. Of course, this body is for the candt- date who would scrap the league and open way to future war. It has a branch known as the Mexican inter- vention party, which hopes to secure President complacent to it's wishes who will barter the lives of American boys, and the respect of the nations of the world, for concessions in Mexico.
 AFRO-AMERICAN PARTY
 There is behind Senator Harding the Afro-American party. whose hyphe- mated activity has attempted to SUI up troubles among the negroes upon
 false claims that it can bring social
 equality, thereby subjecting the un-
 suspecting colored people to the coun-
 ter attacks of those fomenting racial
 prejudice and endangering them to the
