BALANCE OF POWER WINS.

in politics and now it is being gen
orally favored by the several eco
nomic groups. 1t is true there arc
factions among the groups who still!
cling to the independent party idea,
but their number dwindlcs with cac|,
succeeding election as results reveal
the futility of independent political
action in a country with such vast
diversified interests as we have in
America
Since 1881 organized labor has stood
it's ground for this theory, despite at
tempted rdicule, misrepresentation
and honest opposition. Almost all of
the latter opponents have disappeared
they have accepted the nonpartisan
idea.
IN the last several months nonpar-
t;sanship has made its greatest gains.
Even in the United States senate
a group from agricultural states has
organized farm bloc, which has re-
re.tcdly kicked holes in the discipline.
Of their respective parties.
The growth of nonpartisanship is
also indicated by the increasing op-
ros;!ion Of politicians to the primary
system.
Political independence is menace
to party machine. 1t destroys their
power to nominate tickets. The indie
PENDENT voter can adjust himself to
the primary system. 1t permits him to
exercise his independence.
The politician and the agent for
privilege oppose the primary system:
They would return to the convention
system. where delegates can be de-
livered as needed.
Party discipline has lost it's force
and politicians are at their wits ends
to re-cstablish the power of the party
whip.
They insist that this government is
based on the party system, though
there is nothing in the history Of the
Federal constitutional convention to
warrant this claim.
Men no longer talk of ''party 10y
alty.' This docs not fit in when
voters pride themselves on their po'
litical independence.
Under these conditions the trade
union movement enters this year 6
primaries and elections with a dis
tinct advantage over former years.
Today labor does not have to ex.
plain or defend it's nonpartisan theory.
No one now talks Of "voting a
straight ticket
The time is ripe for organized la
Dor to join hands with other forward
looking citizens and defeat the agents
If reaction, privilege and greed.
Organize now for the June primaries
Don't overlook this strategic point
The primaries is where the founda.
ron for ship subsidies, sales taxes
tnti-labor and other wicked proposals
are laid.
.he primaries offer a maximum OF
results for a minimum Of effort.
Where primaries have been hel,
start now for the fall elections.
The independent voters Of thi
country have it within their power
to retire from office every foe. Of
American ideals.
The trade union movement can b(
the hub around which this indepen
dent circle revolves. Every loca
should have nonpartisan committed
linked up with similar organization
appointed by city centrals and state
declarations, and all linked up witt
the A. r. Of L. national nonpartisa1
committee.
The course of every trade unionis
is clearly chartcd. He is not confuse,
as to the best methods to resist az
erosion and greed. The times ar
with him. His political policy is be
ing effectively used by others.

Mr.. Stanley. Does The Senator re-

MISSOURI SOON MAY
 HAVE STATE POLICE

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 29.-Agitation has been started in this city for the creation of State police in Missouri to be equipped with motorcycles, aero- planes and horses. The provision for such a Missouri police will be made in a bill to be introduced in the next session of the Legislature, which con- venes in January, 1923.l
 Alpheus Stewart, together with sev- eral other residents of St. Louis is organizing a committee to introduce and advance the bill.
 Stewart pointed out that there are ten states in the Union that have a state police. They are:
 Pennsylvania, New York, New Jer- sey, West Virginia, Massachusetts, Michigan, Tennessee, Texas, Colorado and Connecticut.
 Several other states, he says, have semi-state organizations, but they are not patterned after the Pennsylvania and have very small forces. These include Delaware, Nevada, Idaho, Maryland and Washington.
 The good roads system and high powered automobiles, Stewart says, make it almost an impossibility to combat the work of the crooks. With state police all roads could be placed under surveillance to cut off escaping criminals.
