Says Democrats, Republican
Are Wings of Capital
Organization.
"The republican and democratic
parties are wings of capitalism,"
stated Glenn Griffith, principal
speaker at the socialist meeting
held in Social Science building,
Wednesday evening. "Capitalism
inevitably brings on enormous
wastes, and periodic hard times in
the midst of plenty. It also brings
on international conflicts and class
warfare."
Mr. Griffith, who is a teacher of
musie and Knglish at the hign
school of Grant, Neb., has been for
the last two years working with
the Y. M. C. A. in Kansas, Colo
rado and Nebraska. He said so
cialism by planning production for
use instead of profit, would do
away with the fundamental causes
of the evils brought on by capital
ism. "The moral effects of this cap
italizing chaos are even more seri
ous than the material results," he
added. "There is no such thing as
over production but rather it is
underconsumption."'
' I appeal to you students not
only to vote for socialism but to
organize and work with the party
for a new social order, in which
ideals that we have been taught
from the time we can remember,
will be realized," he asserted in
conclusion.
