There is scarcely any element. of doubt in the minds of those who ‘have given study to thg ques- tion, but that the «Red? invasion of Russia was financed and formed by the kaiser and his most erafty assistants. It wag the only way to cr\uh Russia. Russia’s condition today proves how well, their scheme operated. 2 N 3 1t is this identical element at work all over the world today, to further the organization of “Reds” with the same end in view. £ Among all the nations, however, the United States is farthest removed from danger, but by no ‘means immune. " Never in the history of America has there been such a tidal wave of propaganda. Literature is being circulated by the tons intended to promote discontent and create contempt for the laws. ,, i there was need for 4 united American spirit duving the war, t‘here is. far more need for. the‘ same spirit now.

Mitchell, president of the Louisville Frog ahd Switch company of Louisville, Ky., and brother of Mrs. Emily Hayner of Bemidji, a life ‘long democrat, in writing to his sister devotes a con- siderable pcrtion. of his letter to expressing his views on the present presidential situation and .the democratic administration in general, and,-coming as it does, from one who has all his life been a staunch democrat, is significant. - In"part he says: «] think if we elect a republican for. president this year—and I can’t see how they can stop us— we will have better times, and a much less extrava- gant administration of our public affairs. People will be able to make money again. As it has been, there has deen only one class of business that has prospered, “and that was the classes engaged in government contracts, and those drawing the ex- travagant ages established by our democratic ad- minstration. For giving away the people’s money and wasting it by foolish construction and waste- fulness, this: administration has been a glowing \ sugcess, but in the way of a conservative guarding: of all the people’s property, money_and personal “rights there seems to have been’ 8 mania to waste money~ and to arogate to our president and his’ official family, powers for controlling the personal privileges and rights of our people and to inflict on us such tremendous’indebtedness. and taxes, that no one now living will live long enough to see the end of it. . : “If the democrats are continued in’power-we may fook for an increase in all of these things instead .of a dimunition thereof, for they have it' clearly in mind, that the government ‘shall take over all of the large business institutions, such as the. rail- roads, steamship - lines, telegraph and ;elephone R e grants present a picture of peace and With -the” war path for- ORGANIZE IN N.
