servants wuz so small, you didn't have

fry the fat, to nurse the kids, to wash
the clothes, for which you paid-well,
goodness knows.
Such help don't need much clothes

On Oct. 4, the average daily circula-

12,402. Six weeks later, for the week

Pay $3,O63, 952 to
Elect Coolidge; Call
1t Good Bargain

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The repub-
lican party boasts the expenditure OF
$1,000 1852 to elect Cautious CAR
Coolidge. They claim they expected
to have to stake much more of their
plumber but they managed to get by
with that little sum thru the very
efficient handling of their manager,
William M. Butler, famous for his ex-
ploitation ability in his textile mills
at Bedford, Mass, which within the
last two weeks has cut wages down
ten per cent.
Butler issued detailed statement
which will be filed with the clerk OF
the house. This statement discloses
that sixteen labor exploiters made con
tributions Of $4,000 each and thirty
nine donated amounts ranging from
$4,000 to $4,000.

republic are there given with that
frank regard for economic advantage
which is sometimes manifested by
the press, and which is infinitely less
nauseous to read than the marshalling
of a series of humanitarian and ethical
reasons for the recognition of power
which has previously been outlawed.
1t is understood, the Daily Express
says, that recognition will be urged
upon Downing Street, not only by the
city of London (the bankers) and Brit
ish industrialists, but also by various
of the Dominions, whose trade has
been suffering by the incertitude en-
gendered by the present situation.
1t is likewise urged that every 9TH
er country has already recognized
Mexico, including the United States,
which was. at first, rather shy, but
which. since. has not only recognized
the sister republic, but whose bank
ers have raised loan to enable Mexi-
co to discharge her indebtedness.
In this vast country, with its 10000
600 inhabitants, and enormous natural
wealth, there are extensive British
holdings. 1t is estimated that Great
Britain has 915O,0OO,OOO invested in
Mexico. OF this sum, e10,OOO,00O is
in oil; and e7O,OOO,OOO in Mexican
railways.

lationships of the two countries, Brit
tain's competitors are rushing exports
and representatives to the rich mar
kets of Mexico. This, naturally, has
caused some alarm; and certain pow
erful industrial and commercial inter
ests in Britain are now complaining
loudly that it is absurd for Great Brit
tain to be the only power not accord
ing recognition to Mexico, which re-
cognition, by the way, has been with
held since 1917

by non-recognition, and has already

N. Y. SOCIALISTS
DEBATE WHILE
PARTY is DYING
Candy Prizes Offered
for New Members
Especial to The Daily Worker


NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-The New
York socialist party, badly bent if
not broken from the severe blow de-
livered to its organization during the
LaFollette campaign, has called a
general membership meeting for
December 10, at which the party
policy to be followed in the Decem-
Der IL meeting of the executive coun-
Gil Of the c. P. P. A. will be discussed.
It is also reported that the deser-
ton by thousands of socialist voters
Of the Reverend DR.. Norman Thomas
for AL Smith will be brought up on the
floor, despite opposition from Hill
quit and others, connected in fnan-
cial way with the International Ladies'
Garment Workers Union oficialdom,
who considered themselves under an
obligation to Smith because Of his
arbitration Of the wage conflict be-
tween the employers and the workers.
Prizes For New Recruits.
So demoralized has the s. P. or
ganization become that prizes are
now being offered to the members
bringing in new recruits. These prizes
vary from pink silk flags to boxes OF
candy, walking canes, wrist watches
and radio sets.
The financial condition of the New
Leader is also expected to come up
for discussion. 1t is reported that
the Jewish Daily Forward, which gave
the Leader years subsidy when it
was organized, has decided not to
substitute 1t any longer. Oneal and
Figenbaum assured Cahan that the
New Leader would be selfsupporting
within one year. But the facts prove
otherwise.
Communist Batting.
The paper has no paid subscription
list to speak of and having no organ
ization to back it up. no policy to at
tract the workers, it is obliged to fall
back on it's only function, Commun-
list batting sheet, and the American
expression of the Second international.
The third party in the minds of the
socialists would be an out-and-out
petty bourgeois party, a new socialist
party with all the socialism left out.
The opportunists of the Hillquit type
intend to squeeze themselves into the
progressive nest along with LaFollette
and his petty bourgeois brood
The Amalgamated Leaders.
The leaders of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers are playing the
usual game of giving lip services to
a farmer-labor party, but paving the
way for their customary platonic re-
lationship with political parties. They
declare that national farmer-Iabor
party is just what they want, but if
they don't get what they want, they
will not participate at all. They will
not actively work to bring about what
they want.
The campaign of the Workers Party
in New York under the Communist
banner was severe blow to the re-
mains of the S. P. Tied up to the
LaFollette chariot, undistinguishable
to the masses from the bourgeois pro-
gressives, the socialist party lost the
remains of its political organization
while the young and virile Workers
Party was left the undisputed leader
of the radical workers. This was one
of the advantages gained by the
Workers Party in the election that
counts more than votes.

ident should the Senate be called
upon to select that official next Feb
ruary at the first blush appears to
be slap at the Republican national
ticket. 1t is creating much comment
here.
But the statement coming from
Senator Norris is somewhat discount
ed, SO far as it's effects on the cleo
tion in November are concerned, be-
cause of his widely known views
that Congress should be more re-
sponsive to the will Of the people.
Republicans and Democrats alike to-
day declared that his statement is
typical, that it is Norrisesque to a
degree, and both were inclined to be-
lieve that it would not materially
affect the result in November.
PIeases G. o. P.'s Rivals.
This does not mean, however that
the Norris statement will not be
seized upon by some of the Demo-
Gratis and some of the La Folletteites
as a blow at the Coolidge-Dawes
ticket. Undoubtedly they will make
what capital, they can. 1t may be
observed, however. that none OF the
three parties in Nebraska are taking
any chances of offending the senior
Senator from Nebraska, and for that
reason they are not likely to put
words in his mouth that he has not
uttered.
If there is any reaction against
the Republican national ticket be-
cause of the Norris statement, then
the Republicans have only them
selves to blame. The question which
Senator Norris answered at Bridge
port. Nebr., Saturday night as to
which of the candidates for Vice
election came to the Senate was di-
rected by Republican. Furthermore,
it was asked in the hope that Sen
ator Norris would say he would not
vote for Gov. Bryan.
The story as l get it is as follows:
Not long ago Senator Norris, while
talking with a group of Republicans,
was asked the question, will you

Bryan brothers, both w. J. and

ticket for Senator, and is receiving

ever, that Senator Norris has been
out of sympathy to say the least,
with the Republican national admin

publican leaders in tn State have
hoped for is that he would maintain
silence in regard to the national tick
ct, and that he would make no state
