THOMPSON- - We stand for what the Constitution stands for "domestic tranquility," the "establishment of justice," and the "promotion of the general welfare." UTAH LABOR NEWS. LABOR It is an interesting argument and I wish I could find more comfort in it. If I were arguing the necessity of proportional represen-I tation, that Is exactly the point would raise. The issue this year, however, was not the form of representation that we should choose. The issue was New Deal against Old Deal; progress and liberalism against reaction. And on this I deny that there is any justifiable reason for the election of a single stand-patte- r, or reactionary. I assert that it was a disservice to labor and to the American people as a whole that a condition was permitted to come about whereby outstanding liberals were removed from office to be replaced by outstanding reactionaries at worst, Nygren ds Market at column, had labor made an intelligent effort to save it.

Little children are .brutally beaten' and marred for life, and men are driven to suicide through the brutality of these Nazi heroes. Meanwhile the rest of the world seems to stand helpless. The democracies are like sheep in the presence of a dictator wolf. It is a question as to how long this situation can continue. It seems inevitable that somewhere something must break out which will destroy this monstrous creation of a disordered mind. To If there is still justice in the world, if there is a Force powerful enough to subdue even this incarnation of the beast, then there Is hope for civilization.

No one who has followed the activities of the last Congress needs to be told that the Democratic designation is no guarantee of progressive inclination or the Republican one a mark of utter reaction. With all that, however, our two party system being what it is, it is correct to assume that Democrats will support the administration at least in routine matters, while Republicans will oppose it in all matters. The fact that so many Republicans were elected November 8 is therefore a serious blow to the administration, particularly so since most of them are of the old guard, strictly G. O.
