ever, testified McLean's checking ac-
counts were as low as s4,950 around

The fact that Lenroot and Smoot,
ranking republican members Of the
investigating committee had gone
secretly to see Fall was never re-
vealed to the Fall committee.
"That is the only conversation
had with Senator Fall since the mat
ter Of the 100000 was first brought
up" Lenroot said.
These reports prompted Walsh to
investigate the files of the Western
Union and Postal Telegraph COM
panies for records of all messages
sent from Washington to Fall or
Mclean at Palm Beach or New Or
leans.
Secret Hearing Continues.
This examination was resumed to-
day by the committee In executive

today. After all the messages have
been examined those which are be-
lieved TO be pertinent to the oil in

The cause Of the explosion is Official

WORKERS GREET
COMMUNIST In
ROCHESTER, N. Y.
Foster Puts TOiIers on
Right Political Track
BY JOSEPH MANLEY

by JOOEFF7 MHNEEI
Campaign Manager, Workers Party.
William z. Foster, PRESIDENT
al candidate of the Workers
Party, spoke in Rochester, N.
Y, to an audience three times
the number that recently heard
Norman Thomas, the socialist
LaFollette supporter.
The Foster meeting, in con-
tradistinction to the Thomas
gathering, was a strictly work.
ing class affair.
Workers Turn Out.
Metal trades workers, printers and
garment workers formed the bulk of
the audience. A large number of
prominent Rochester trade unionists
were present. A feature of the meet
ing was the singing by the Ukrainian
Chorus.
Following this splendid chorus,
large number of Italian clothing work.
ers, assembled in the body of the hall,
sang informally many revolutionary
songs, all of which helped to make
the spirit of the meeting enthusiastic
and revolutionary.
Fosters appearance on the platform
was greeted with prolonged applause
During the course Of his speech his
humorous sallies at the expense of
Roosevelt and Smith and their fake
prohibition issue. brought forth much
laughter.
Exposes WheeIer's Tactics.
Foster exposed the unscrupulous
political trading being conducted by
LaFollette and his agents. He cited
particularly how in Montana LaFol-
lette's running mate, Wheeler, has
double-crossed the Montana farmer
labor party and is supporting the SEN
atorial candidacy Of Thomas J. Walsh,
the tool of the Aanaconda Copper com
pany, and the chairman of the demo
cratic convention at New York.
In New York, Foster charged, la
Toilette has made a deal with AL
Smith, the Tammany democrat, to
hand over the progressive and social
list votes to Smith and in return Smith
will knife Davis and throw his Tam
many following to LaFollette."
This expose of the methods of La
Toilette cause CONSERVATION to a
handful of LaFolletteites who had
come out of curiosity. Their feeble
Indignation was laughed at by the
workers seated close to them. At the
conclusion of Fosters speech a storm
of applause lasting many minutes con
cluded the meeting.
The Workers Party of Rochester
was enthused over the success of the
gathering. A large amount of litera-
ture was sold, Subs" to the DAILY
WORKER were taken, and in addition
to the audience having paid twenty
five cents admission, they contributed
literally to the collection.
The future of the Workers Party in
Rochester, as result of thiameeting,
and its activities in the first Commun-
list election campaign is assured Of
success.
ProIetarian Partyltes Shown.
The Rochester devotees of the pro-
letarian party are now forced to ad.
NIT that in this great election strug.
gle turnout America, Communism, pro.
letarian dictatorship, and the organic.
alton Of Soviets, have become familiar
ideas to masses Of American workers
who could not be reached by the class
room methods Of the proletarians. The
Workers Party Of Rochester is the
party OF Communism, Marxism, and
Leninism.
