The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-09-25

Senator Burton K Wheeler of Montana has adj
mitted to the DAILY WORKER that he is in a deal
with his senior colleague Thomas j. Walsh. Mr..
Wheeler, who would have the world believe that
he is apostle of pureplus politics. is the primary
agent in one of the most sordd precinct politicians
deals that-has even been put over.
Wheeler is asking the workers and farmers to
vote for him as a progressive. At the same time
he is doing everything in his power to stife the
genuine progressive voice in his own state and to
maintain in power the rock-ribbed reactionary
forces. Mr.. Wheeler is in an alliance with Senator
Walsh whom the last convention of the Montana
State Federation of Labor fayed mercilessy as an
enemy of organized labor and the poor farmers
This is the same Mr.. Walsh who did not dare tell
the country the truth about the Washington
hortculturists in the Teapot Dome scandal. Sen
ator Walsh deliberately kept silence about the real
meaning of the apricots, peaches and the principal
in the oil inquiry which he headed
The progressive Wheeler is backing to the ut
most Senator Walsh who was the author of the
notorious criminal syndicalst law of Montana The
senior senator from Wheeler's state has too long
been in the camp of the copper barons and the
Standard Oil magnates to arouse even the slightest
suspicion of his ever being able to mouth progress
sive phrases with a straight face Yet Mr. Wheeler
is engaged in a feversh attempt to smash thf
Farmer-Labor Party of Montana in order to as
sure the return of Walsh to Washington
The whole transaction is irritating to the nostrils
The deal is most unsavory one. Mr.. Wheeler il
proving his worth a rank political pawnbroker
Every Montana workingman and appropriated
farmer should point the finger of scorn at Mr.
Wheeler and drive him out of politics. No worker
or farmer who is interested in genuine progressiv
ism should aid or abet, overly covertly, the pc
litical fortunes of Wheeler and his associates.

Amid the din of the "Star Spangled Banner" and
the hurrahs of several thousand GermanAmeri
cans LaI'olette made his plea for more votes in
an obviously inspired political address.
The Wisconsin senator Landed the patriotic
virtues AID the loyalty of the Communications
by telling the Steuben Society that it is "an Amer
can society of unimpeachable attachments to the
fundamental principles of the constitution" Many
huge flags and a rendition of numerous patriotic
airs were constantly called into play in order to
assure the superficial observer that this was a
patriotic gathering
Stripped of all its verbage, the LaFollette adj
dress was an unvarnshed appeal to the members
and followers of the Steuben Society to cast their
votes for the third party ticket because its stand
ardbearer showed, for brief period, it is true,
some hesitancy as to the best methods of Americas
waging war against the former German empire.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-09-25

The Wisconsin political boss was really making an
appeal to the Steubenites to vote for him because
on the eve of the declaration of war, he did not
whistle patriotic airs to the same tune that Cool
idge and Davis did
1t is the very nadir of hypocrisy for the Wiscon-
sin senator to paint himself as an enemy of the
last any other imperialist war in the annals of
American capitalist aggression. LaFollette was an
ardent propOnent of the Mckinley plan to crush
the Philippines. LaFollette was on the same band
wagon with the embalmed beef vendors in the
Spanish-American war. The self-styled progressive
Messiah voted for ffty-fve out of sixty war meas
ures before congress. Now that the war is over and
that the fraudulent propaganda spread in its be
half is obvious to ALL Mr.. LaFoette is attempting
to reap harvest by adopting the hypocritica
method of 81 told you So"
1t is precisely this sort of cant peddled by LaFol
lette and "the honest men" in his camp that con
stitutes a most dangerous phase of the misleading
progressive" propaganda being so energetically
spread in the ranks of the workers and the dis
possessed farmers.

do this they must achieve the physi-
cal power of the state which guaran-
tees ownership.
Unemployment is here today and 1t
will grow worse. Exploded is the lie
that the immigrant is to blame. So
the workers are that much closer to
an understanding of the real fault. Ul-
timately unemployment must grow be-
yond all power of the present system
to cope with when that time comes
the American working class, notori-
ously virile and violent in action when
once aroused, will see the correctness
of the Communist analysis and will
quickly apply the Communist remedy.

CARCASS CONTEST BEST
FEATURE OF STOCK SHOW

lBy d. A. Jay, Extension Livestock
man, State Agricultural College.)
Stocknen naturally look forward
this season Of the year for the annual
trp 20 the National Western Livestock
Show. Here they watch closely the
battle for supremacy in animal per-
fiction. Each breed has many ad-
miprs. The one ring that draws the
attention Of the majority is the cham
pionship class for fat bullocks.
Livestock producers and particular
ly oattlemen, leave this show carrying
away a mental picture of the grand
champion steer. Many resolutions are
made for future production to attain
that perfection.
Men who leave at this stage of the
.how miss one of the best educational
features Of interest to stOclmen. The
carcass contest comes At the end of
the week. The price animals bring on
foot depends upon the kind of carcass
they produce on the hook.
Every keen livestock man should
not only study these fat bullocks on
foot, but follow them on thru into the
coolers where the carcass contest is
held. This is the real test of the
prime beef steer.

The Kentucky supreme court has
recently decided case in which a
tobacco grower who signed a contract
with a cooperative body. decided 20
sell some of his crop outside; ne was
sued, beaten and appealed and the
higher court held the contract binding.
This court also cited decisions in six
other states TO the same effect. Those
who are prone to sign up most any,
thing when they get peeved should
realize that a contract is something
that is a good deal like the strong
electric current thru a wire and which
one can not let 20 of when once he
takes hold. Unless there is fraud
shown in the securing of the signature
the grower must stand hitched.
So there should be full understand
ing of this fact when a name is sign
