Even William Randolph Hearst,
millionaire publisher is disappointed
at the action of Senator Robert Mar.
ion LaFollette in deciding on "per-
sonally conducted" campaign of pro-
test against the two old capitalist
parties, instead of organizing a party
which will represent the will of the
people and the welfare of the coun-
try"
The publisher says that the repub-
lican party is run by Wall Street and
that the democratic party smells of
the saloon. He might have added
and "the tar and feathers of the Ku
Klux Khan"
William Randolph Hearst, tho a
millionaire, fits nicely into the COM
bination that looks on LaFollette as
its political Moses. 1t is essentially
petty bourgeoisie conglomeration
that finds common cause in a gener-
al hatred of Wall Street and the Big
Capitalists so well represented in the
republican party, but is not opposed
to the capitalist system itself. The
democratic party is no longer essen
TALLY different from the republican
party. 1t, too, has swung from it's
historical petty bourgeoisie mornings

Presidential Candidates

Well, well, we'll! So that was what it was all
about! The NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ballots were
for the purpose of putting the attorney of j. p
Morgan & Co. on the democratic ticket to balance
the presence of Charles G. Dawes member of the
Morgan system, on the republican. Wall Street
wants to take no chances this year. so it would
seem, of having a acknowledgements. One
little, teeneyweeney concession to the Protestant
Ku Klux middle classes of the middle west, is
given in the naming of Brother Bryan as running
mate to Davis.
Without question the decision in New York
makes the candidacy of LaFollette, more over
whelmingly than the candidacy of the middle
class, Of the small bankers, merchants, profess
sional men, and rich farmers. What there may
have been of labor tinge given to LaFollette by
the c. p. p. A. gathering at Cleveland is over
whelmed in the flood of aspiring young lawyers
that will sweep into the LaFollette train and will
file for Office independents" under the LaFol-
lette banner.
1t seems shame that those poor ladies and
gentlemen who had the ceremonial duty of ratify-
ing the choice of Davis should have been held in
New York for so long in the hot July weather.
But that is the way things are done in the U. S. A.
and things done in the very best possible way
in the best of all possible lands-etc, ETC., etc.

Hearst, Left Winger

and is now the handmaiden of Big
Business. A new middle class party
is wanted.
Instead of organizing this party, La
Toilette, backed by the labor takers,
and the socialist leaders, simply put
himself up as an individual saviour.
The republican party is the party
of the big capitalists The latter have
completely debauched the democrat
ic party, leaving the small capitalists
sucking their thumbs. The million
aire Hearst who is considered a
'scab" by Big Business wants new
"clean popular party" which will
serve the people" until it too, is Sc
Quoted by the ruling capitalists. Then
another clean shirt for the petite
bourgeoisie. Hearst is willing to be
one of the laundrymen thru his news
papers. LaFollette wants to have a
monopoly on the laundry business.
The class conscious workers watch
this washing of dirty linen with keen
interest, but much tho they may re-
greet the dilemma in which the small
capitalists and their allies find them
selves in, they know that only the
workers can solve the problems that
confront society today. The growing
political chaos in the United States

Davis and Bryan

At last the democratic circus at New York has
ended. Those who looked forward to the party
of Woodrow Wilson becoming progressive have
been keenly disappointed. From the platform
down, every step taken by the convention, every
resolution adopted, every word uttered, every man
ouver engaged in, every blow struck by the bosses
has been in the interest Of capitalist reaction.
The apogee of reaction is of course reached in
the choice of standard bearers When John w.
Davis was put over by the Brennan-Taggart-
Hague Gufey alliance after the Tooth or the 103rd
ballot it was obvious that big capital has Sc
cured unquestioned and unquestionable DONNA
ton in the democratic party. The petty bour-
geois interests, the agrarian interests the cotton
interests of the South and the rising capitalist
interests of the West have all been crushed by the
"non-partsan' Wall Street group of the Eastern
industrial area.
John w. Davis is a sturdy, tried and true steed
bred and trained in the ilthest stables of the big
gest business interests. Davis is entitled to wear
the badge of capitalist reaction even more than
Coolidge. Davis is a professional expert in the
service of Wall Street He is not only inclined to
serve the ruling capitalist clique, but he is an
adept at delivering the goods. Davis is not only
the legal brains of the House of Morgan but he is
the international handspring of the House of
Rockefeller. Enjoying the backdoor confidence of
the leading industrial and financial group in the
country, Davis is the best possible man the demo-
Gratis could have chosen to win the necessary fnan-
cial support for waging the coming campaign.
The choice of Charles Bryan of Nebraska, cham
pion of sundry coal schemes and a handful of
sham progressive measures, a running mate for
Davis, is useless attempt to appeal to the rural
masses of the West and Northwest. Bryan is a
third rate nonentity in national politics He can
not prove a source of strength to the democrats.
Bryan cannot effectively as a fig leaf for
the ugly hand of big capital now clutchng the
democratic party.

What's Happening to Banks

1t is quite interesting to take note of what is
happening to the banks These institutions of fin
ance are going thru process of eliminating the
little fellows absorbing them into the big sys-
TENS, while the large banks are growing to gigan-
tic proportions
Announcement yesterday of the closing down
Of two banks at Cheyenne, Wyoming gets lost
among the lists of thousands of banks that have
closed their doors since the agricultural crisis be-
gan.
At the same time reports are available for the
great New York banks Led by the National City
Bank, with total assets of 1027 055,s followed
by six other banks averaging more than half-bil-
lion each, the list forces to the conclusion that
the good old U. S. A. is owned or mortgaged by
Wall Street right up to the last cent in the dollar.
We have enough faith in the operation Of our bank
ing laws to believe that the assets listed are bona
fde in the sense that they earn interest
So we see the little banks going to the wall,
while the big ones swell up to unheard Of size. No
one but the owners will regret the passing of the
little banks, for they were among the most merci-
less usurers, but their elimination from the scene
marks the complete triumph of large finance CAPT
tai. This in turn, combined with the other fac
tors in the international situation, promises us
another war in which to get killed, in order that
these great accumulations may find profitable in
yestmept abroad.

Charity

The capitalists and their apologists never tire
of extolling the blessings of charity. In fact we
are told that of the advantages of the capital
list system is that it provides few with the oppor-
tunity to favor the poor with their benevolence.
These capitalist statesmen never tell us that but
for the benevolent activities of the capitalist class
there would be poor to expend their beneyolence
on.
Charitable institutions are continually trying
to alleviate the suferings of those who fall vic
Tins of the inequitable distribution of wealth I'M
der the capitalist system. Sometimes these char
table institutions everything but charitable.
At best instead of trying to remove the cause of
poverty and its attendant misery, they seek to
make it endurable.
Employers who pay their slaves starvation
wages like to win renown for generosity by max
ing an occasional donation to some charity. In
return for a contribution they receive valuable
publicity While they rob their own employees
they pose before the public as good capitalists.
The capitalist papers, part of their continual
drive for increased circulation run charitable
drives. They appeal to the business elements. The
Chicago Tribune is running drive for free
ice for the poor. 1t appealed to the business
houses and they gave the plea a cold shoulder. 1t
complains feebly about their laxity. But it does
not say that the capitalists responsible for the
condition that makes charity necessary. 1t does
not tell the workers they must and control
the means of wealth production before they can
eliminate poverty which the charity organizations
feed on.
The DAILY WORKER does not run charity
drives. 1t tells the workers, the only class strange
TO say that is in need of charity, to get the
robber capitalists off its back Instead of appeal
ing to employers to subscribe to charity funds The
DAILY WORKER advises the workers to organize
and compel their employers to pay more wages.
Instead of organizing camps for the poor, The
DAILY WORKER urges the workers to fight for
shorter hours and better working conditions so
that they can have more time outside the factory
TO enjoy the fresh air with their families. The
workers do not want charity. They want justice.
They want the product of their labor When they
got that there WILDE no place for charity.

marks stage of incipient capitalist
disintegration. 1t is to be expected
that various saviours and nostrum
mongers will appear to offer their
medicine to the people" but only a
surgical operation on society will cure
the patient.
Led by the Communists, the indus
trial workers and exploited farmers
must organize into class party with
the object of overthrowing the CAPT.
talist system and establishing a gov
eminent of the class that produces
all the wealth, the working class. The
LaFollette movement may take the
place once occupied by the democrat
ic party as the opposition to the party
of the big capitalists. 1t will never
become the party of labor
The socialists who swallowed La
Toilette and/his reactionary program
are not even as far advanced as
William Randolph Hearst. The lat
ter at least is not willing to follow
one man, unless perhaps, that man be
himself. The majority of the social
list party is today in the right wing
of the LaFollette revivalist campaign
while three Williams, namely, Will
lam Randolph Hearst, William Henry
and William r. Snow occupy the left
wing.

They are so shabby.
They pay such high RENTS

That most of them are trying
To sell out

Or to reorganize

But the State Trusts
Only take the best ones.

Supreme Court Sends Ramsey
County Case Back For

The question of whether persons
who subscribed to stock in the Lake

to take over Oklahoma lands said to
be Oilbearing, must pay their sub
scriptions to aid in relieving those
decided today after the supreme
court had issued an opinion in an
appealed case from the court of Dis
trict Judge Buttz Of Ramsey county.
The company collapsed, according
to the court records, after on repre-
sentation of H d. Mitchell persons
in Ramsey county and vicinity had
paid $73,575.00 in cash and had given
promissory notes amounting to SAY
S25. Mitchell was tried in federal
court but not convicted, on charges
growing out Of his promotion of the
oil scheme.
VI. p. Jorgeson, who had paid $4,000
cash into the company, urged in the
suit that persons who subscribed to
stock but had not paid for their sub
scriptions were liable as partners
for the subscription, to be paid to
the receiver and used to relieve these
who had paid in full.
The supreme court held that the
trial court, before entering final
decree of accounting and dissolution
should give petitioners an opportun-

was, the amount of capital each part
