Ex-Governor Lowden of Illinois has turned
down the offer of the Republican party ruling
clique to serve as the running mate of Coolidge.
The millionaire made-to-order farmer has de-
clared that the vice-presdency is unacceptable to
him at present This has temporarily, at least,
thrown a mOnkeywrench into the well-oiled ma
chinery of the Cleveland convention.
The declination of Lowden at this time is in
dcative of the strategy many capitalist politicians
of Democratic and Republican stripe will pursue
in the coming campaign. An attempt will be made
by the best minds of both employing class parties
to pose as pure and undefled by the influence of
big money or oil.
Lowden could not show his face to the electo-
rate of the country with any degree of comfort.
In the presidential primary campaign of 1920,
Lowden spent close to half million dollars,
$41494s, to be accurate, in order to buy up dele
gates to the Chicago convention. Next to General
Wood who spent about 100000 in his campaign,
Lowden was the heaviest spender. OF course, these
sums were not all that were spent Much larger
sums Of money were expended to buy the presi-
dency, than was admitted by the aspirants. \
For instance, Lowden spent at least $4,000
Of his own money which he inherited from the
Pullman family. This was sum five times the
annual salary of the president of the United
States The notorious Nat Goldstein of Missouri,
was ono of Lowdens drummers trying to sell him
into the presidency. In the same state, E. L.
Morse of the Republican committee, was dealing in
Harding and Lowden stock at the same time. In
fact, the Lowden campaign very much resembled
tbz slush fund campaigns of Hanna and Quay of
old.
Today with the scent of Teapot oil not yet
evaporated the Republican party could i'll afford
TO revive the scandals of 1920 by nominating Low
den. The scandals of 1924 will be more than the
Republicans will be able to face. Lowden knew
this when he refused He valued the political
future of himself and his reactionary party too
much to accept the vicepresidency under the cir
cumstances much as the bigmoneyed men owning
the Republican party might have desired it.

Figures Can Lie

There is an old saying that Figures can lie and
liars can figure" Sometimes the statistical liars
do not cover their tracks and get caught in the act
Of trying to mislead the public. The fayorite in
door sport of the capitalist scribbers is proving
that white in Russia is really black and that things
were ever so much better under the reign of the
car.
This is where a NetC York Times headline
specialist fell down. He attempted to show that
everybody in Moscow is Soviet official and proved
his contention in the following manner
''The population of Moscow is now 1911 ,045. OF
this number there are 100000 officials, $4,000
workers, $4,000 unemployed and $4,000 domestic
servants. Under the car the population Of the
city was about a million of which 10000 were
workers, 100000 domestic servants and $4,000
officials"
On this story the NeW York Times headline
writer stuck the following caption: "Oficials Fill
Moscow" The figures show-granting that such
liar could even give the exact fgures-that the
population of Moscow has increased over fifty per
cent since the cars days The government was
then located in Petrograd, yet despite that fact
and the lower population, there were $4,000 Off
Gals in Moscow, as against 226,000 now. The
100000 listed as officials under the cars govern
ment were municipal employees. The 100000 EN-
ployed there now by the government are city and
state employees
The headline writer's on the capitalist press are
instructed to put as much poison as possible in
their work, so even when a dispatch is fairly ac-
curate the headline makes up for that deficiency.

fight against their common enemy.
The workers and dispossessed farm
ers Of the United States are with the
Cuban railway workers in their fight
against the black alliance of reaction
airy international capitalism. The
workers and farmers of the United
States have no interest whatsoever in
the sordid attempt of the American
capitalist class to gobble up the Isle
of Pines and are with the Cuban peo-
pie in this hour of trial when they are
opposing American imperialist conS

Four new doctors emerged from the
17Oth commencement of Columbia
university. They are Andrew Mellon,
secretary of the treasury; Victor Fl
Lawson, publisher of the Chicago
Daily News; Melville Z. Stone. coun
sellor Of the Associated Press. and
Adolph s. Ochs, publisher of the
New York Times. Columbia is Amer
ica's foremost goosestep university
The men favored with the titles are
~aejthy. Mellon made good deal of
his money in whiskey, since the pro
hibition law was passed. The others
have plenty OF cash, which accounts
for the esteem in which they are held
by Nicholas Murray Butler, the unoffi-
cial head Of the Saloon League.

1t makes interesting comparison to
put the booty of these union officials
beside that received by political job
holders.
William Neer gets the same salary
as the postmaster general of the
United States, without the chance
now of losing his job at the next cleo

He gets four times as much as the
heads of departments in the postal
service, twice as much as the chief at
