MAHONEY FLAYS
ST. PAUL FOES

William H. Mahoney, chairman Of
the Committee on Arrangements for
the National Farmer Labor Convention
here, in greeting the delegates at the
opening session denounced the enemies
of the gathering as the malignant OPP
position"
He continued in part as follows:
when this convention was first pro-
iected, last November, it was never
realized at the time that so many and
such diverse obstacles would be en-
countered. 1t was thought that it was
the thing that every progressive ele-
ment in America wanted and would
iai5 STE ;;, ms fullest si'. sS ss;.ss. IS.
1--WE have since learned, however, to
our great surprise and sorrow, that we
were encroaching on sacred ground
and infringing the prerogatives Of
certain would-be-great-political leaders
and organizations and instead of get
ting whole hearted and powerful sup
port, we have had to overcome the
most energetic and malignant opposi-
tion.
LaFolIette Couldn't XIII II.
The character and extent of this
very opposition have, however, had the
effect Of stimulating our desire and
determination TO see this convention
through, even tho La Toilette himself
was inveigled into joining its enemies
in the effort to kill it.

labor. is revolutionary as its full real
ization will mean the end of exploita-
ton and the overthrow of plutocratic
rule.
Rulers Fear st. Paul.
"I'm not claiming that the great
mass of men and women engaged in
this movement clearly understands its
significance, but the cunning few who
rule and rob and revel in luxury, have
sensed the true import of this new
movement of the common people, and
have proceeded to fight it with mall
ignity that finds few parallels in Amer
lean history.
This is where the essential danger
of this new movement lies to the pri-
vileged and ruling element. Once let
the working class, the men and women
on the farms and in the industrial
centers, understand that they have
common interests as useful workers
against legalized robbery and that the
government can be taken over and
made to function for their benefit, 1t
means the end of the exploiter and
social parasite.
New Industrial Order.
This is why the Minnesota move
ment aroused such virulant antagon-
ism. 1t contained the germ of new
social and industrial order and it was
important that it be stifled in its in
fancy. Here in Minnesota, we have had
to fight the enemy in every conceivable
form openly and covertly, externally
and internally, bull-dozing and bribery
have been employed at various times,
but all to no avail and now we are
on the eve Of the day Of victory and
triumph. We have already achieved
successes but we know we have a
long and perilous journey to travel
before we shall be able to effect the
changes necessary to give economic
! justice 10 i'll wealth producers.
on Organization Victory.
But the biggest victory achieved in
Minnesota is not a political one; it
is an educational and organizational
one. We have banded together the great
wealth producing elements on the farm
and in the industrial csnters, into a
political party with direct economic
implications. The movement is not
built on a nebulous sentiment and
vague emotions, but on substantial and
practical interests. These wealth pro-
ducing elements are in politics to Sc
cure the right and opportunity to pro-
duce the things that contribute to their
material welfare and to obtain pro-
lection for the producer to enjoy the
full benefit Of his labor.
Movement Of Common People.
This is the most dangerous doctrine
ever promulgated and injected into
the political arena for the exploiting
elements, and it means the crucial
point in the great struggle between
those who live by labor and those who
thrive on privilege. The Minnesota
Farmer-Labor movement is made up

didate for United States senator. At
that time dissatisfaction with Poin-
dexter, the Republican candidate, ran
high, with the result that Dill was
elected. This sabotage by the A. F.
of l.. split the Farmer-Labor party so
that it was able to cast only 10000
votes.
Since then the bankruptcy OF the
farmers and the rotten conditions OF
labor have caused decided swing to
the Farmer-Labor standard, with the
result that the party is at present able
to muster about $4,000 votes.
AntI-capitaIistlc
The farmers of Washington are in
control of the party there, said Bouck.
These farmers and the labor elements
Of the party are distinctly anti-capi-
talistic. Therefore they are opposed
to the LaFollette type of politician,
that cares only for it's meal ticket and
its own political fortunes. The farm
ers and workers of Washington are
out to build class party, not to sup
port any particular politician.
In regard to the Farmer-Labor
movement in the other Pacific coast
states, Bouck said that it was new
and hence weak in Oregon, but build
ing up rapidly there.
The California situation is difficult
one, he said. The farmers are con
trolled by reactionary capitalist com
binations of large fruit growers, such
as the raisin and citrus fruit growers
associations. Labor, on the other
hand, is hopelessly muddled by fac
tional fighting among reactionary
trade union officials. But some organ
ization is going on among the small
farmers.

CHARLEY DAWES
is HOT SKETCH;
FUNNY AS CHEESE
Loses Shirt, Curses, Runs
Flop Houses

No matter who will be President it
is plain that the Senate wants Charles
G. Dawes for its presiding officer. He
can furnish as much fun as a three
ring vodvil show. AS the boy who
sits on the high chair and keeps the
salons from throwing. ink bottles at
each other he would be WOW.
He can curse, he can answer, he
can smoke pipe upside down, he
can play mouth organ and Jews
harm and he doesn't need 3 nresa

agent to get his name in print. The
boy is different; he's there.
Not only does he play the mouth
organ but he writes music. He is an
up and coming rival of Irving Berlin.
With few girls from the Follies and
Lodge as low comedian Dawes could
open a regular show in the Senate
chambers and charge admission.
He Went
He is also a hacker (financial) of
the Chicago Opera. He took a shot
at trying to help the people who run
the Chicago Opera make it go but
they said If he didn't they would and
he did. But as an impressrio in the
Senate he would be running the show
himself. He could land no doubt
would give others the gate. 1. e. kick
'em out, not give 'em the receipts.
Than as banker and money lender
Dawes could probably make few
odd pennies by loaning Jack to embar-
raised senators who didn't manage to
connect with lobbyists.
Liberal; With Advice
Then If Charley wants any advice
for himself or to give away he has
three brothers whose brillance has
not been noticed only because Of
Charley. From them he could get
plenty, OF advice.
Then Charley owns couple Of flop
houses here in Chicago where he can
entertain Magnus Johnson and Sena-
tor Bob LaFollette when they pass
thru town.
he Nearly LOST tne war
When Charley was in the A. e. F.
his unwillingness to keep his shirt on
and his coat buttoned nearly lost the
war for the Allies, according to Per-
shing. Pershing had to keep looking
to see II Charley's clothes were all
right and he couldn't do that and plan
how to win the war. But that was
only for couple of weeks. Someone
suggested that an aide be appointed to
take care Of Charley's clothes and so
Pershing was able to attend to bust
ness.
May Abandon Pants
Charley's enemies suggest that he
probably has some such idea for wor-
rying Coolidge to death and himself
into the White House. Certainly IL
Charley as vice president went to
work every day with his pants off
somebody in Washington should have
good time.

RELATES
 WIRELESS WONDERS
Predicts Era Of Cheap Commu-
 nicatiOn Through Air

ROME, July 10.-(By the Associated Press. s.)-William Marconi, inventor of wireless, today described before an au- dience in the historic Capitoline hall the recent achievements in wireless, espe- cially the new system patented by the Marconi engineer, Franklin, and pre- dicted an era of cheaper wireless com munication.
 Mir. Marconi told of experiments which showed that a station using 12 kilowatts power under the new system had had better results than with POO kilowatts power under the old system. It was possible, he added, to communi- cate between England and St. Vincent, Cape Verde with station of one kilowatt power,
 The inventor related experiments which had been made in communicat- ing between England and America with waves 90 meters in length instead of those of thousands of meters usually used. He said great event in the history of wireless had been the estab- lishment of radio telephonic communica- ton between England and Australia, May 30, 1924, with the small energy of 2S kilowatts.
 Mir. Marconi recalled the experiments made last month between England and Argentina, which, he said, would render possible the installation of cheap but efficient stations under the new sys- tenn, which would be capable of trans mitting greater numbers of words than more powerful stations at greatly re. duced rates.
