MANY AUTOMOBILISTS
VISIT WHITE HOUSE.

Never before in the history OF
Washington have so maLy auto
mobilists visited the White
House as this summer. These
tourists have come from all parts
of the country. Almost without
exception they park their cars
on the great wide street in front
of the White House while they
go in to see what kind of build
ing their president occupies.
A few days ago three newspa-
per men counted 81 machines
lined up against the curb stone
and they decided to take a poll
OF the autoists' choice for presl-
dent. The result was, Coolidge,
90; Davis, 10; the head of the
third ticket, A, the balance being
divided. The majority of the
cars were of a well known make
or machines within the reach OF
the average pocketbook. There
were only two that one would
classify as high-priced machines.
Among those questioned as to
their choice was a couple, no
longer young; he, a man who
gave one the impression of many
years of toll; she, one of the
sweet old ladies like your mother
or grandmother. This little bit
of old fashioned charmingness,
when asked why she was for
Coolidge, replied, He is honest
and brave, he is one of our own
people, the kind that most PEG
pie are. Some call us the pain
people, no frills, no putting ON
of airs-just God-loving, clean
American citizen, a man of high
ideals-the man we like to have
as a model for our children, a
man who believes in honesty and
common sense. We heard him
on the radio. We are tired of
having speakers tell us about
how they will do this and that
for the country when they know
deep in their hearts that the
things they speak about cannot
be done-that is not being hon
est. My husband and are en-
joying a vacation; our son and
mis- wife look out for the things
on the farm while we take our
vacation seeing the country.
This is the third year we have
been on the road and we have
seen a lot of the United States.
We take turns driving aud we
get over a lot of country in a
days ride. We will be home for
election day, as both father"
and ] feel it our duty to vote for
Mr.. Coolidge" The car bore a
California tag.
The members of the first ma
tional grange tour" travelling
through the east were conveyed
in 240 automobiles. They were
farmers from the west and mid
die west, u states being repre-
sented. They met President
Coolidge while he was at his IA
theirs farm in Vermont and all
declared their intention to vote
for Calvin Coolidge.

COOLIDGE PHILOSOPHY
AND DOCTRINE.

Men do not make laws. They
but discover them. Laws must
be justified by something more
than the will of the majority.
They must rest on the eternal
foundation of the majority"
Statutes must appeal to more
than material welfare. Wages
won't satisfy, be they never so
large. Nor houses; nor lands;
nor coupons, though they fall
thick as the leaves of autumn.
Man has a spiritual nature.
Touch it, and it must respond as
the magnet responds to the
pole"
do the days work. If it be
to protect the rights of the weak,
whoever objects, do it. If it be
to help a powerful corporation
better to serve the people, what
ever the opposition, to that. FIX
pect to be called a standpatter,
but don't be a standpatter. Ex-
peet to be called a demagogue,
but do not be a demagogue.
Don't hesitate to be as revolu-
tionary as science. Don't hest
tate to be as reactionary as the
multiplication table"
Don't expect 20 build up the
weak by tearing down the
strong. Don't hurry to legis-
late. Give administration a
chance to catch up with legisll-
tion."
There is no problem so great
but that somewhere a man is
being raised up to meet it,
There is no moral standard SO
high that the people cannot be
raised up to meet it.
1T is only when men begin 70
Worship that they begin to

"HAPPY HOME" is NOT
VERY GOOD name FOR
THESE HOME DRESSES

Happy Home" is the wrong name
fir house dresses, now thinks Mr..
Loren Miller, president Of Loren
Miller G. Co., dry goods, at 4722
Broadway. MIR. Miller fell for the
alIuring offer Of the Sterling COM
pany, the prison contractors, whose
house dresses are made in the Ana
mosa, Iowa, penitentiary, and an
nounced a special sale of these Curl
ously named convict-made dresses
for this week. Mrs. David j. Fitz-
gerald, of the Women's Trade In
ion League dropped in to see Mr..
Miller, told him that 1t was very
offensive to his customers to have
prison-made goods sold to them
That none of the comfortably situat-
ed people in the North End craved
to be CARRIED in dresses made in pris-
or sweat shops, and suggested that
he send the goods back to Sterling
with his compliments. Mr.. Miller
could not see 1t that way and told
Mrs. Fitzgerald that he would con-
tinue the sale, that he was running
his business, and that as he had
promised the sale of "Happy Home"
dresses to his customers, he was go
ing to continue it all week. Mrs.
Fitzgerald then left after mention
ing that there were some 100000
members of organized labor in Chi
cago, and that considerable num-
Der lived in the neighborhood.
It is understood that Mrs. Fitz-
gerald is starting the machinery In
motion to demonstrate to Mr.. Miller
that folks living in the happy homes
around the Miller store resent hav-
ing convlct-made goods foisted upon
them. In the meantime, so we are
informed, large numbers Of patrons
of the Miller store have called Mr..
Miller on the phone (Edgewater
3o3o) to tell him that they resent
his stuffing their mail boxes with
curcuIars advertising prison-made
goods.

SGcco and Vanzetti

Sacco and Vanzetti have lost their appeal to
the superior court. Judge Thayer, before whom
the appeal was argued, refused to set aside the
verdict Of the trial jury despite the evidence
gathered by defense counsel Fred Moore and his
associates showing that perjury had been resorted
to by the prosecution witnesses and showing
further that the bullet which Sacco is accused of
firing could not possibly have come from his gun.
The SaccoVanzetti case thus assumes the same
status as the case of Tom Mooney. In both cases
additional evidence secured since the verdict of
guilty proves the innocence Of the defendants.
Mooney, nevertheless, is imprisoned for life while
Sacco and Vanzetti face death sentence.
1t is impossible to imagine this state of affairs
involving rich criminal even an ordinary Grim
inal into whose question of the class strug-
gle entered All three of these victims of capital
ism's power and viciousness were active in the
struggles of their class. They were convicted, not
for the alleged crimes charged against them, but
Of opposing the present robber system
II we want the strongest proof of the weakness
Of the American labor movement and the reaction
airy character Of its leadership we find it in in
stances like the Mooney and Sacco- Vanzetti cases,

prevailing in the United States A labor move
ment that cannot and will not throw its whole
force into resistance to such deliberate assaults
upon even its most humble militants arouses neither
respect nor fear in the breasts of its enemies.
The counsel for Sacco and Vanzetti believes that
the case can be carried to the supreme court Upon
the revolutonists of the United States rests the
responsibility of securing the necessary funds More
important and of immediate need is the revival of
the agitation that alone saved Mooney from the
moose and Sacco and Vanzetti from the electric
chair.

ANOTHER TRIAL

DEATH, STARTED

Years Ago
Especial 10 The Daily worksy)


TACOMA, Wash, Oct. 8. Roland
R. Pothier's numerous alleged confes.
sions Of the Staying of Major Alexan-
der P. Cronkhite at Camp Lewis six
years ago at the behest Of Captain
Robert Rosenbluth, will be the sub
ject of spirited debate in the trial of
Pothier for murder, when the govern
ment attempts to introduce the con-
fessions as circumstantial evidence,
it was indicated today.
Maurice A. Langhorne, chief de-
tense counsel said he will bitterly op-
pose introduction Of the confessions.
The main points of the govern
ments circumstantial evidence case
outlined by James w. Osborne, in
charge Of the governments case, are:
That Major Cronkhite had no mo-
tive for suicide.
That the bullet which caused his
death could not have been fired by
Major Cronkhite.
That Pothier and Rosenbluth were
the only persons present when Cronk-
hite was shot.

HooUerizing or Russianizing?

Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover has come
out with a blast against the LaFOllette movement.
The Notwithstanding secretary of govern
ment tells the country that the program of the
LaFollette movement demands the naturalization
of the basic industries and public utilities Mr..
Hoover warns the voters that this means Rus
SANITATION of the United States
Nothing could be further from the truth than
the charge that LaFolette stands for the national
zation of the basic industries of the country.
Genuine naturalization of the means of produc-
ton and exchange can come only thru the estab-
Hshment of workers and farmers government.
To such a working class government Messrs.
Hoover and LaFolette are equally and bitterly OPP
posed
In fact Mr.. LaFolette is at best only flirting with
the capitalist government ownership of public
utilities. The Wisconsin senator is not committed
intellectually even to the government ownership
of railways. The extent to which Mr. LaFollette is
engaged in talking about such fraudulent progress
siye measures is determined by his anxiety to win
the votes of many workngmen and farmers who
still have illusions to blessings that capitalist
government ownership of such utilities would bring
them.
Let someone suggest the idea that the workers
organizations should share in the participation of
the management and operation of these railways
and other public utilities and Mr.. LaFOllettes ire
would be aroused in the extreme. He would see
in such steps the germs Of the proletaran dictator
ship the menace of Communism, in the denuncia
ton Of which he vies with the Hoovers and Cool
idges. Indeed, Mr.. LaFoette is ready to join hands
with the blacklist of the black in the capitalist fold
in any movement Of opposition to extending work
ers' control of production and industry. The Wis
consin senator and the secretary of commerce are
at one in their insistence on the sanctity of the
private ownership Of capital, of the agencies of
production and exchange, means of exploiting
the great masses Of workers and farmers.
The workers Of America are living in a country
that is totally Hooverized Injunctions, low wages
unbearable working conditions mounting cost Of
living and gradual but certain social degradation
the fruits of Hooverized United States. Label
ing the specialization Of industry as Russian is no
argument in behalf of these wretched conditions
and does not at all dsprove the fact that the esab
lishment of workers and workers republic with
the collective ownership of the means of produc.
ton and exchange offers the only way out for the
workers.

A Mass Party for Britain

An event OF supreme Importance to the working
class of the whole world is taking place in Great
Britain This event is also of interest to the capt
talist class but one will look in vain for any men
ton of it in the British capitalist press This
event is the membership campaign which the Com
munist Party Of Great Britain is carrying on and
which is meeting with a response that has sur
prised even the most hopeful members of the party
The British party operating in the stronghold
of European imperialism, has many achievements

Soviet government thru the Labor party cabinet it

membership was physically unable to carry out the
tasks placed upon them.

Colonial SIGUesz Abaken

Outbreaks of partisans ofEEgyptianyrule for the
Sudan with complete severance from British dom
ination, are taking place and causing the British
imperiaIists considerable worry
Egyptian students and troops have taken part
in the demonstrations and it is stated in London
dispatches that the agitation may be followed by
a revolt. -
The Sudan is potentiallysone Of the worlds
greatest sources of cotton supply and an important
link between Egypt and British South Africa. The
officers in its administration are British but the
army is composed almost exclusively of natives.
The Sudan tribesmen are valiant fighters and their
territory includes about 100000 square miles.
A revolt of this people would be exceedingly diff
fcult to crush, but the Macdonald government
has intimated that no concessions will be made.
In9smuch as Macdonald has remained in power
because of his support of the imperalist plans of
his predecessors it is probable that pretty mess
is brewing for the empire.
The demonstrations in the Sudan have more
than a local significance. They are the result Of
the resentment evident among all eastern and
African people against the rule of western CAPT
talism. China, India and Africa are awakening
and in thousands of villages among millions of
people, there is talk of the new force that has APP
peared in world affairs-the Union of Socialist
Soviet Republics-that welcomes as equals the
oppressed of all lands.
The colonial peoples support the great capitalist
nations of Europe and this fact these people have
discovered. They are wondering why they should
continue to do so and receive payment in the form
of bayonets machine guns and airplane bombs
Slowly this feeling crystallizes in organizational
form and empires rock.
The freedom Of the working class Of the world
depends upon the freedom of the colonial masses
The super-profits derived from the plundering of
these peoples keep the imperialistic machines run
ming and nothing but sympathy and support for
every effort towards freedom in all colonies should
come from the working class of the imperialst
nations

in Britain is growing in intensity as
the capitalist system degenerates.
