ELECTION DUTY AND JURY DUTY

Surprising apathy about election duties, among
otherwise good citizens is shown IN letter from an
Ohio girl to a newspaper. She belongs to Sunday
school class with 100 young women IN it. and an Ep-
worth League with membership OF over ZCO. All OF
these she says of voting age and the fnest khd
of folks" Yet when they were asked recently no"
many intended to register and Vote not one hahd was
raised.
Her sister attends large business college. When
there was straw there the other night not one
person reported intention to vote on election day.
The writer explains ,

powers, England, France, Italy, Bel
GUM, Spain and Portugal, who domi-
nate and control all of Africa, with
the two exceptions, Abyssinia and Lii
IBERIA, to voluntarily give up their
holdings and allow the exploited ma
tive workers to have the gold, silver,
copper, mahogany, oil and the other
raw materials so valuable to the i'm
perialist powers, is to expect the i'm
possible.
These imperialist powers, with
their poison gas, bacteria germs,
liquid fire, submarines, radio con-
trolled battleships and aeroplanes,
will fight for the right to continue to
rob and exploit the people of Africa.
Liberia, the lone Negro republic of
Africa, in constant fear lest England
or France gobble her up also, is
forced to refuse admission to mem
bers of the U. N. I. A.
Communist Realism for Negro.
The hope of the exploited Negroes
of the United States and elsewhere
lies in the Communist movement.
Communism will wipe capitalism and
imperialism from the face of the
earth, and with the overthrow and de-
struction of capitalism will also go
wars, race riots, animosities and the
other ills suffered by the working
people all over the world.
Mr.. Garvey, in place of meekly sub
hitting to the Ku Klux Khan, you
must advise your. followers to unite
and join hands with the white revo-
lutionary and Communist workers,
who are fighting the same foe that the
Negroes must fight, the whole capital
list class. The Workers Party of
America is leading the fight for eman-
cipation and freedom for Negro and
white workers of America. Negro
workers must rally to the ranks of
the Workers Party.

This Farmer" Was

Until Cal Got Him

WASHINGTON, Angst 17.-Herbert
T., Baker, Of Michigan, chairman Of
the Farmers National Council and
candidate of the railroad labor organ
izAtions for the republican nominal
ton for governor Of that state, has
definitely lined up for Coolidge
thereby throwing the progressive
forces in Michigan into great confu-
sion. The Farmers National Council
and Baker personally, have fought
every act and policy Of tho Coolidge
administration. They stand for
public ownership OF railroads, steam
ship lines and the grain and live
stock marketing system. Baker has
been a participant in numerous CON
ferences here in recent years, whose
object was the formation of radical
farmer movement. His announcement
for Coolidge is considered by his
friends to be merely strategic, but a
majority of the railroad labor men
seem inclined to repudiate him il he
stands pat.
