prior to the elections? Simply because
Harrington knows that if he counted
only the votes actually cast for hin
he would not get enough out of this
local to paper his cigar box. Corb
ishley had warned the officers of the
local for the past month that they
would be kicked out of office few
days before the elections. The pro
gressiyes therefore elected a few tell
ers to see that the votes were hon
estly counted. Failing to get chance
to steal the vote, the takers put in a
whole week counting the ballots sc
they could not reach the district Office

The miners in this sub-district are
determined that the crookedness now
rampant in the Illinois Miners Union
will be stopped in spite of the hired

speaking to several thousand garment

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE
need and value of our Com
munist daily, as a means of pro-
paganda and a centraIizing
factor for our party work, was
spiked home" to us in New
York particularly because of its
effectiveness during the recent
election campaign.
During this campaign we
distributed between eighty and
ninety thousand copies of spe-
cial election editions. Reports
that came in and are still COM
ing in show that in proportion
to energy and money spent, the
DAILY WORKER was our best
means of propaganda.
AS a means of modelling our fore
%, "for the struggle" the DAILY
WORKERS value is unlimited. This
was shown on several occasions dur
ing the election campaign.
N. Y. Edition In Near Future.
The comrades in New York and
New Jersey realizing the value and
need of Communist dailies in the Eng
Ish language, for different parts of
the country have their minds set on
a New York edition of the DAILY
WORKER. To get this they know that
they must first make secure, for all
time, our first English Communist
daily. In doing this they will at the
same time that they are "Insuring
the DAILY WORKER for 1926" build
up the circulation to a point where a
New York edition viii have to be es-
tablished here.
During the campaign to establish
the DAILY WORKER, the comrades
in District No. did themselves
proud. Since then they have come
across" splendidly as for instance,
during the election campaign when we
distributed the special editions re-
ferred to above, which by the way,
was the biggest factor in getting the
DAILY WORKER on the news stands
in New York. We also added about
1900 new subscribers and raised over
