The Tripple Alliance
Not Substantial
Non-Partisan League
That the North Dakota Non-
Partisan League is fighting for
political control of the state of
Washington, no une can doubt.
Walter Thomas Miils, a nation-
al Socialist leader, is campaign-
ing in western Washington for
the socalled tripartite Alliance.
He is one of the foremost ex
ponents of t h e Non-Partisan
League and is working among
labor elements in the navy yard
towns. He holds meetings with
the grange, the farmers union
and the central labor unions and
proclaims the gospel of Town ley-
ism.
The Tripple Alliance is class
hatred turned loose in politics
and pure Socialism with a pro
gram to crucify capital.
Walter Thomas Mills was eject
ed from Prosser county and po
sesi « a m artyr of free speech
and the apostle of progressivism.
Many western states have the
same menace to fight.
On His Way to
God’ s Country
Ths following was taken from
a notice which was posted on
the wall of a deserted homestead
shanty in the wild region of Wy
oming:
“ Four miles from a neighbor,
sixteen miles from a postoffice.

Owing to the war in Europe,
the presidential election coming
on, laziness of hens, erratic ac
tions of the thermometer and the
increased price of living, the
steel trust could only declare a
dividend last year of seventy
millions. Lord knows how it is
going turret through.
