FIRST:-In line with this statement we wish to
present few facts. On taking Office two years
400 the Mayor and Town Board found the pub
lie expenses of our city out-running the income
by more than $4OO0OO. These gentlemen went
tn work with an energy and determination to
find out where the trouble lay and to put stop
to it, The result was the deficit was wiped out
and surplus rolled up that very year, and last
wear another showing to the good was made.
Again. two years ago the employees of the town
were paid their salaries in warrants which were
discounted 81 to obtain the cash. Today they
receive checks which are cashed at their full face
value the interest on the bonded Indebtedness Is
being paid right up to date and small begin
ming Of payments on the bonds themselves has
been made. These simple facts should interest
every property owner and tax payer In Holyoke
above any other consideration.
SECOND:-Owing to an unusual amount of
moisture in the way of snow fall during the pres
ent winter, there are many places in our streets
which need repair. If we further entrusted
with hand in the government of our city, prop
erty owners may rest assured that this matter
will be promptly remedied as soon thereafter as
the necessary arrangements can be made and
weather conditions permit.
lHlRD:-lhere are few well-meanIng cltl-
zens who believe the Marshal and Town Clerk
should be elected by the people. The latest law
of the State places those positions in the hands
of the Town Board who elect them by major
ity vote each year. Thus they can be removed
from office at any regular meeting of the Board
whenever their services are not satisfactory.
Whereas, if they elected by the people they
could not be removed until the next annual cleo
ton.
WITH These few words, the facts of which can
easily be verified from the official records in the
Office of the Town Clerk by any citizen who de-
sires to investigate we hereby present the fol-
lowing names to the people of Holyoke for en-
dorsement at the polls-each and every one of
them having had hand in making the above re-
cord.

tentions. Waxing eloquent in his
compliments to the senator from Ida

ton, but in spite of the Republican
administration. 1t was first suggest

1.-THE fight was renewed by Borah,
a Republican, yes, but one who wisely
declined to become associated with
the bankrupt Republican partnership

opposition to the reactionary control
of his party has ever been constant

The veterans bureau scandal, the
role of DENLY and Fall, Secretaries Of

tigation, the appointment of Bascom
Slemp, trader and jobber in political
offices, as the presidents private sec
rotary, were all aired in thorogoing
style by Harrison.
Reassures Big Business.
But the Democratic wizard softened
bit, with a strong reinsurance to
business interests regarding the real
purpose of the Democratic party in
the present political situation. In an
outburst of eloquence, Harrison said:

administration that challenges our at
tention.

dictions. They say, You are hurting

age affair.
1T is going to be red-hot highly sea-

by the weak applause which greeted
this remark, the galleries took this
morsel with grain of salt.
Soft Soap for Progressves.
Harrison went on to boast Of the
victory achieved by the democrats in
putting over the Simmons-Garner tax

surrender to his party during the tax

T.U.E.L. HEARS ABOUT ST. PAUL

Follette's whole ambition is roll up the
greatest number of votes" said Foster,
such noble ambitionl" The forma-
tion of a permanent class Farmer
Labor party would defeat La Follette's
personal ambition. So La Toilette
tried to knife St. Paul. IF La Toilette
really had wanted to, if he really
feared Communist control he could
have controlled st. Paul for the mere
asking. All he would have had to do
was to urge that delegates instructed
for him be sent, and he could have had
absolute control, the important COM
mittees and the whole convention
could have been LaoFllette's."
But La Toilette did not want to
control st. Paul, because it would have
involved him in genuine break from
the Republican party and would not
bring him so many votes as he could
get as an Independent" candidate. So
La Toilette went out to assassinate st.
Paul because he feared-not the Com
munists-but the demands of the mass
of farmers and workers for an end of
capitalist party politics and the crea-
ton of a real Glass Party of workers
and poor farmers"
But such party had been formed in
st. Paul, despite the Tin Jesus" from
Wisconsin; Duncan Mcdonald, an in
dustrial worker, and VIM. Bouck, a
working farmer. had been unanimously
endorsed as candidates of the National
Farmer-Labor Party, and another step
in the series Of steps necessary to
make great class party of labor, is
taken. Everywhere in the ranks of
labor, organized and unorganized,
workers must support this party.

In his first public appearance in Chi
sago for many weeks VIM. 2. Foster
'ecounted the development of the
Farmer-Labor movement up to date.
That the Trade Union Educational
League had led the fight for a Labor
Party by it's referendum on the sub
ject sent out to every local union in
the country, was brought out, together
with the fact that the Workers Party
had taken the burden of forming a
class party of labor away from the
vacillating old Fitzpatrick group,
which is now back in the Gompers
fold, and st. Paul, instead of Chicago,
has become the center of gravity, in
the Farmer-Labor Party movement
The st. Paul convention of June 18th
was described in detail, and every step
to its final success was retraced. The
labor takers at the heads of the unions
had done everything in their power to
knife st. Paul, because it stood for real
and permanent class organization. w.
H. Johnston of the Machinists' Union,

class treachery through Cooperation"
with the employers tried to kill st.
Paul by diverting the movement to the
G. P. P. A. at Cleveland. Gompers had
issued a papal bull against st. Paul,
but no one, nowadays, paying any at
tention to this drooling old reaction
airy, better tool, someone in whom
the mass of Farmer-Labor sentiment
had faith, had to be used to assassin
ate the movement-that was LaFol-
lette, whose historic role of betrayal of
the hopes of the masses was partly
discharged with his vicious attack
upon ST. Paul on May 28th.
Fears Glass Party-Not "Reds.y
La Toilette was not afraid of the
Communists as he claimed, said Foster.
He really feared something else, the
formation Of genuine class party of
farmers and workers. He had always
opposed splitting the old capitalist
parties. He was regular republican,
and he remains republican. La

did not explain whom his party was

say word about the sort Of operation
he had in mind.
For World Court.
Harrison made fat-footed indorse-
ment of the world court. He came out
four-square for the foreign policy Of
Woodrow Wilson. This gesture on
the Mississippian's part evoked a
skillfully organized and well-seasoned
demonstration at the mention of Will
sons name.
Many of the delegations began to
McAdoo states started and led the
procession. The readiness with which
the McAdoo crowd seized this oppor-
tunity for a dress rehearsal showed
very plainly that it was their candi-
dates strategy to pose as the sole
heir of all the Wilson glory and in
fiuence in the Democratic party. Nc
Adoo's progressive pretensions sym
bolize the last gasp Of the dying viii
sonian pseudo-liberalism.
Capitalists Silence Khan Debate.
The Khan, which had been adver-
tised very widely as splitting issue
in the Democratic party, was not even
mentioned by Harrison. This morn
ing an attorney for the big packing in
terests called on George Brennan, the
Illinois boss, and asked him to lay
off on the Khan as an issue.
This agent of the packing trust was
himself an Irish Catholic. Brennan
had been posing as a bitter-ender in
his opposition to the Khan.
Property Rights Guaranteed.
Harrison closed his address with
strong raps at the Republican foreign
policy, when he brought the house to
laughter. "Show this administration
an oil well and it will show you for
eign policy"
He assured big business that the
Democratic party is prepared to as

HyIan Closes First Act.
The first act of the twenty-sixth
Democratic national farce was
brought to close by a poorly deliv-.
cred address of welcome to the dele
gates by Mayor Hylan. Very little
applause greeted his remarks eulo-
giving the unity of the Englishman
and the Irishman, the Jew and the
Gentle, the Protestant and the Cath
olic, in his city.
Hylan's attack on the predatory
interests" of Wall Street aroused the
weak applause of handful in the up
permost rows of the highest gallery.
The mayors speech was taken AS
an attempt on his part to paint him
self sufficiently black to become
dark horse in the nomination race.

Amtorg Trading Corp
Established


NEW YORK, June 26.-Trade be-
tween America and Soviet Russia is
to gain new impetus as a result of
the creation of Amtorg Trading cor
poration with offices at 1876 Liberty
St., New York City. Amtorg Trad
ing corporation, which has been in
corporated in the state of New York
for paid-up capital of $1,00O,0OO, is a

Z Connections with that country.
OF these, the Products Exchange
corporation, being an American cor
poration, had also been incorporated
in Russia and held Soviet government
licenses for carrying on trade in the
Soviet republics. These licenses, as
well as all business connections es-
tablished by the merger firms, are
transferred to the Amtorg Trading
corporation, which will also have the
exclusive right to act as the sole
representative in America Of the Rus
sian "Gostorg" Estate export and i'm

Gostorgs Of the Ukraine and the eau
casian federation. At the same time
the Amtorg Trading corporation re-
ceives the sole representation in
America of the ARGOS Ltd of London,
which is the selling and buying agent
for the Soviet government in the
United Kingdom.
The direct connections of the Am
tory Trading corporations in Russia
extend also to most of the greatest
Soviet industrial concerns, such as
the coal trust, the sugar trust, the
Caucasian Oil Trust the Electric
Trust, Agricultural Machinery Syndi-
cate and similar organizations. These
connections, in addition to the ex-
perience gained by the merged or
CARNATIONS, will furnish the oppor-
tunity for the American producers to
} get in closer relations with the Rus
sian market and eliminate the inter
mediatory functions of German and
British interests which have con-
trolled most of the trade between
America and Russia, owing largely to
their superior knowledge of the con.
ditions of the Russian market and
their willingness to meet the credit
requirements of the Russian con.
sumers.

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN,
Convention Hall, June 26.-In sharp
contrast to the Cleveland farce the
show here is well-staged to give the
effect Of anything but a cut and
dried affair. Now and then various
state delegations punctuated the hus-
tie and hustle of the moving, shut
fling crowds with well-prepared DEM
onstrations and voluminous volleys Of
cheers for their local sachems, black
beauties, and bosses as they entered
the Garden.
Here and there the band would jazz
things up bit by hitting up a ma
tional or sidewalk air. Even on the
platform small caucuses could be de-
tected. Josephus Daniels was partic-
ularly in evidence strutting about.
Every possible step in the art of
stage-setting and scenic effect was
taken by the democratic leaders to
make the affair look real and living
and to give the impression to the
world that the convention delega-
ton itself will decide the nominations
and weighty problems.
A Hard-BoiIed Gathering.
Mingling with the delegates and
looking them over carefully convinces
one that they are mass Of twenty
minute eggs-hard-boiled. Hench-
men of local bosses, congressman,
government officials, well-to-do mer-
chants, bankers, manufacturers and
senators are to be found in album
dance.
1t was interesting to note that the
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut,
Massachusetts, Ohio, and Indiana
delegations were all herded together
closely so as to enable them to work
with machine-like precision and in
unison.
Georgia was leading the demonstra-
ton for McAdoo.
Cardinal Prays for Convention.
Cardinal Hays was called upon by
Chairman Hull to render the Gus.
tomary invocation. His Catholic emil
nence forthwith rose to the occasion
and besought the big three of his
firm-the Father, the Son and the
Holy Ghost-for heavenly benediction
ION our beloved country in this dire
full hour" The cardinal thanked his
masters for the political, social and
religious equality reigning in the
United States. Not holy word was
uttered in behalf of economic equal
ity. The invocation was closed by a
plea for unity.
Then there was a shower of small
silk, municipal and national flags
from the four corners of the Garden
where there were suspended huge
pictures of Wilson and Cleveland fac
ing Jefferson and Jackson.
Madeline Case, the beautiful prima
donna of the Metropolitan Opera
House, was the next to dominate the
convention. She led the sweltering
mass thru "The Star Spangled Ban
