In country there is tremendous force, back
eG by organized wealth. whose fires hndled
with greed, and whose smoke forms clouds of
sycophancy. This FORCE may be "red," black or
yellow. This FORCE is the daily extortioner of
unsarned money. This FORCE demands for utili-
ty service, prices that larger than the purses
of the masses This FORCE, through marketing
and manufacturing Trusts, exacts from the people,
prices that are greater than their incomes All of
the operations of this trucuen ruthless relentless
FORCE fully explained and justified through
its privately-owned obscurantist, the News Trust.
Who are the "reds?" In expressing contempt
the word "red" has meaning all its own. Yet
"red" may be accepted descriptive of a person
who thinks unkndly of extortion and stealth, who
has the courage of conviction, and mafraid of
open expression. If "red" may be otherwise de-
fined, in words, let the News Trust particularize
The FORCE that Expresses and bewilders and
which disccurages and repels rational thought and
action, is guided by the sceptered cardinals of Wall
Street, robed in the scarlet of despotism, whose
crimson hue beams through the spotlight whence,
reflection the economic screen limns in tints of
"red," conscience tat cordially detests stealth and
unearned exactions This describes the origin and
source of the maligned "red.' When the batteries
of the spotlight cease to function, the reflected
imaginary "red" will blossom into hues of genuine
sympathy for human rights, human weaknesses,
and the political environment of the distressed
The invisible FORCE is onipotent and omni-
present. Its hunger for dividends is Unsuitable it
not only coils, but clngs and cngs and clngs
and through disbursement of its own broad streaks
of yellow proclaims that its critics are "red"
Where Monopoly is King there must be two
flags. Of these the "red" flag is Haunted coun-
trywide, as The banner of disloyalty and subver-
2on. This mythical flag, the scarecrow of King
Monopoly, was designed to serve as danger sig
nal,-as means of warning every home-owner of
the probability of his neighbor being cred" With
such admonition, and challenge of thought, each
nelghbor must watch the other, while King Mono

ations, and creates railroad mergers, bank merg-
ers, electr1c-po power mergers, oil meyers, chain
mergers and merger chains
FoRCE is the nursing of the Cardinals of Wall
Street, championed by the News Trust and suffi-
clenty intrepid in the teeth of the democratic and
republican parties, and in the teeth of an 'alleged'
representative form of government, to declare that
the affairs of this country are directed by fifty
nine non-office holding individuals This declara-
ton, accompanied with names and pictures of the
rulers, was given wide publicity at a time when
the electorate was beginning with its preparation
