Side Turner Hall

Everything points to the certainty
that the debate between James P.
Cannon, of the Workers Party, and
Forrest Edwards, of the Industrial
Workers of the World will be the

chairman, is one Of the "old time
wobblies" who was released from
jail only a short time ago, under
the blanket pardon issued by Presi-
dent Coolidge.

show "that the Workers PARTY must
fail to achieve anything Of import
ance for the workers." is also an

tiary. lie was formerly secretary
treasurer of the agricultural
Workers Industrial Umon," the ag-
ricultural branch Of the /. w. w.
He is said to be widely known in
the harvest fields of the west.
Jim" Cannon, presenting the
viewpoint Of the Workers Party, has
been prominent figure in the rev.
o.utionary working class movement
for years. He is national chairman
Of the Workers Party.
The question to be debated is:
Resolved, That the Workers Party
must fail 70 accomplish anything Of
Importance for the workers." with
Edwards taking the Affirmative, and
Cannon the negative. The struggle
will take place at the North Side
Turner Hall, Sunday afternoon,

WILSON WISHED
GERMAN VICTORY
BEFORE He Died
Said France Should Be
Cleaned Up"


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 81
ITO the zero hour, Woodrow Wilson
regarded himself as the spiritual
leader of cause only temporarily
lost" writes flames Kearney, pub
Usher Of the Trenton, N. j., Times,
in an intimate copyrighted article
appearing this week in the Satur-
day Evening Post.
Kerney says in his article that
Wilson thought his radio speech de-
livered on Armistice day brought a
reaction which showed the pendu-
lum swinging back in his direction.
The writer then reveals the bitter
feeling Wilson had accumulated TO-
ward the attitude of France.
Furor Over Radio Speech.
"When / reminded him that
there was quite an international
Juror over his radio reference to
the sinister climax of France and
Italy having made waste paper
Of the treaty Of Versailles"
Kerney writes, che fred back in
a spirited voice, I should like %
see Germany clean up france and
/ should like to meet Jusserand
and tell him that to his face"
Revealing Wilson's idea Of his
place in world opinion, Kearney
quoted 'the former president fur
ther:
II am going to try to look at
myself as tho l did not exist-to
consider the whole thing in an Inn
personal way. From the messages
get I realize that / am every
where regarded as the foremost
leader Of the liberal thought of the
world, and the hopes and aspira-
tions of that liberal thought should
find some better place Of expression
than in the senate"
And at this point the writer
quotes Wilson's estimate Of the
senate:
"Outside Of the United States, the
senate does not amount to a damn,
and inside the United States, the
senate is mostly despised; they
haven't had a thought down there
in fifty years."
Did Not Support Cox.
"You know / have a temper and
if l was to go to the senate
should get into row with that old
Lodge, who no longer counts for
anything. AS I have remarked be-
fore of him, I'd rather be a dead
dead man than dead 1--we man. The
senate would hardly provide the
place for liberal leadership that the
world is seeking SO sadly"
Kerney revealed Wilson as not
supporting the presidential aspira-
tions of James M. Cox, tho regard
ing his stand in the last election as
a "brave one"
ellis masters voice has spoken
was his breezy comment on Presi-
dent Coolidge's message to con-
gress," Kerney writes, and "of the
administration world court idea," he
said, they don't know where they're
drifting; Hughes is at sea and they
have no program"

Teapot Dome Labor
Secretary Puts NeU

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 81.
The screws haze. been further
frightened on aliens within the Unit-
ed States by Secretary Of Labor
James Davis who, in new ruling,
declares that an alien who has been
admitted to this country for tenn
porary residence must first secure
the consent of immigration authori-
ties before endeavoring to become a
citizen.
In line with his recent policy Of
making it as hard for the alien as
possible, Secretary Davis now rules
that if immigration authorities care
to they can ship the immigrant out
Of the country. An alien who has
temporarily been admitted to this
country, even tho Re decides to re-
main and become naturalized, is sub
ject to the whim of the immigration
authorities, according to the new
ruling.

Congress, it would mean that if we
should hold our National conference
as scheduled, on May both, the Third
National Convention Of the Young
Workers League would have to fol-
low but few months after our Ma
tional Conference. This would be
a financial and technical impossible
ity for US. We are therefore calling
off the National Conference and in
stead will call the regular Third
National Convention of the Young
Workers League a few months after
the Young Communist International
Congress.
In the f'Young Worker" you can
read the letter from the Young
Communist International informing
us of the cancellation of their Bu-
reau Session and the calling of
their Fourth Congress, from which
follows, logically, the postponement
of our National Conference.
Since you have had The call and
agenda for the National Conference
but a few days, there should not be
any great inconvenience caused be-
cause of the postponement.
We ask you to continue energeti-
cally with the work of the League;
discuss more closely than ever the
immediate and future problems and
lay the basis for district organiza-
lions SO that when the Third Ma
tional Convention Of the Young
Workers League is called we shall
be able to note large strides forward
Of the League.

FGnler-LGbOr Forces
Of Oklahoma Run
Big Oil Candidate
By ERNEST R. CHAMBERLAIN.

Correspondent
OKLAHOMA CITY, March 81
Oklahoma's farmer-labor forces are
swallowing hard trying to accustom
themselves to the sensation of sup
porting a millionaire oil man for u.
S. senator. Charles ]. Wrightsman
of Tulsa is the nominee of the
Farmer-Labor Progressive league for
the Democratic primary. His friends
stress his ability to finance cam
paign.
Opponents of Wrightsman at the
Ell Reno convention united in sup
port of Fletcher Davis, Pittsburgh
county school teacher and member
of the Farm-Labor union, to whom
rallied the enthusiastic youth Of the
Red river ready to ride the rods and
pass the hat to conduct a campaign.
j. Luther Langston, league man.
ager, came out for Wrightsman, say
ing that all money expended by the
Tulsan would go thru the league to
be used in behalf of the entire
ticket.
The Oklahoma Leaders forces, rail-
lying about 200 of the COL delegates
present, made a Strong fight for a
third party but were outvoted. A
third party move is under way head
ed by George Wilson and numerous
Socialists and followers of LaFolIette
who insist on availing themselves of
the recently enacted state law to
place a Farmer-Labor ticket in the
field. They propose TO file their
ticket and then campaign for the
league candidates in the Democratic
primary. If the league candidates
are successful their names can also
be inserted in the third party ticket
by having the third party men with
draw in their favor. This has been
done in Minnesota Farmer-Labor
campaigns.

Cabaret Dance Will
Entice Tired Reds
To Northwest FrOLic

An innovation in entertainments
will be introd iced to the workers of
Chicago on Thursday evening, April
3, when the North West Side English
branch of the Workers Party assoc
ciated with the Maplewood branch of
the Young Workers League, will pol
ish the floors of the Workers Lyceum
at 2733 Hirsch Boulevard for the
cabaret dance which every militant
foot artist in the city is looking for
ward to.
It might be stated at this stage of
the game that the cost of participant
ing in this novelty is thirty-five cents
including your share Of the cost of
making the world safe for democracy
and paying the household expenses
of Jess Smith and other gay lads who
held forth in Washington before the
Teapot burst.
That little matter taken care of
we will not let you in on the other
secrets but we can hint that between
now and Thursday this paper will
carry a VERY IMPORTANT AN

dates referred to in said resolution,
chief among whom was Governor
Small.
The resolution referred to was that
adopted by the executive board of the
Illinois Federation of Labor which
urged the support Of not only the Re-
publican Candidate Len Small and
Newton Jenkins, but also the Demo-
cratic candidate for governor, Kent
Kellar.
Thomas c. McCabe, secretary of
the Cook County branch of the Farm
er-Labor Party, when interviewed by
the DAILY WORKER, said, 81 stand
by the decision of the executive board
of my party. / don't believe Small
will win the nomination anyway.
Even if he did, the Farmer-Labor
Party intends to run candidates by
means of petitions. It was the unani-
nous sense of the executive board
that the old party politicians are dis
reputable, and l don't believe labor
will gain anything by indorsing the
old party politicians.
Violated Party Principles.
LET John Fitzpatrick speak for
himself. He knew of the motion
which the party executives unani-
mously passed. Perhaps he has fallen
into some trap set for him by the
politicians. HE HAS VIOLATED
THE SPIRIT, POLICIES AND PRIN-
CIPLES OF THE FARMER-LABOR
PARTY, in my opinion. But let him
speak for himself"
ut is to be regretted that some
trade unionists have placed their lib
erty in jeopardy and at the mercy
of INSCRIPTIONS politicians who have
in past times aligned themselves
against labor"
John Fitzpatrick was faced, by
the DAILY WORKER, with the con-
Trajectory statements o. the party
which he helped TO launch-The
Farmer-Labor Party-and the reso-
luton which he signed. ct is a
perfectly logical situation" said
Fitzpatrick, "what l meant was that
if the trade unionists are bound to
enter the primaries, then they should
vote for Small. l did not advise
them to participate in the pri-
maries."
Let Facts Speak.
But Fitzpatrick did advise trade
unionists to participate in the pri-
maries, not only in the communica-
tions quoted above, but in his en-
dorsement of the resolution passed
by the executive board of the Illi-
nois State Federation signed by
Fitzpatrick, which resolved, "The
nominations of the three candi-
dates, Newton jenkins, Len Small
and Kent Kellar, are hereby urged.
Resolved further, chat trade union
lists in all congressional and sena-
torial districts be and hereby are
urged and advised to support these
candidates"
Fitzpatrick was asked what he
had to say to this and to the state
ment of McCabe that "All loyal
Farmer-Laborites must urge union
lists to stay away from the pri-
maries."
THAT is a different proposition"
said Fitzpatrick. He abruptly ter
minated the interview without say
ing goodbye, dashing out the door
and down the stairs while the
DAILY WORKER reporter was ask
ing him another question.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, March a.
A comical part in the Milwaukee
municipal elections was provided by
the Koo Koos. The Badger Ameri-
can, the alleged publication of the
Khan, has Endorsed" Socialist Candi-
date, Hoan, for mayor; much to the
displeasure of the latter.
Mayor Hoan was quick to re-
pudiate the unwelcome endorsement,
but this did not prevent the opposing
forces to make an issue Of it in the
bitter municipal election campaign
now taking place in the city.
Mayor Hoan charges that this was
a trick played on him for the pur-
pose Of alternating about 1000 coll
ored votes in addition to a consider
able Jewish and Catholic support.

is they who are embarrassed.
There is one way that has been fol-
lowed in the past and may be in the
present campaign to avoid comp1ica-
tons in connection with the collection
and distribution Of campaign FUNDS
1t is the State committee plan. the
Federal Government has jurisdiction
over funds contributed specifically
for the election of Federal officials.
1t has nothing to say about money
spent in State campaigns.
II a man wants to contribute $780,
900 for the national campaign he
may find himself in the public eye
and subject to call by an Investigate
ing committee later on, as that sum
is considered excessive, but IL he
feels like contributing $4,000 to the
campaigns in 20 States, the mat
ter may not even be reported by the

Presumably for State Purposes.
The money is presumably given
for State purposes-the election of
governors and legislators. But
there is no law to prevent a State
committee from spending any sums

et Money spent Tor national pQI
poses by state committee is like
wise not within the jurisdiction OF
State tribunals. No careful watch
is kept on how money is spent any
how. 1t is Jumped under general
heads such as advertising. publicity,

The item of "workers at the polls
