JUDGE JONES. Of Illinois, demo

for the governorship Of this state in
the recent elections. Naturally, Jones
did not think very much of Small,
being his opponent, but the opposition
was more bitter than usual even in
elections. Jones frankly stated that
II Small was not crook, he, Jones,
was a walking gooseberry. Small got
away with two millions Of the states
funds while he was treasurer. The
voters elected him, thinking he might
need some more. Jones, who was to
clean things up, got cleaned up in
stead. But there is no hard feeling
between Jones and Len. They were
Just playing the game.

LIBERALS LOOK
DISCONSOLATE in
New PARLIAMENT
Especial to The Daily Worker,


LONDON, Dec. 2.-The forlorn look
ing bunch of liberals who escaped the
debacle at the last election, looked
rather disconsolate in the house Of
commons today. They occupied the
back seats from which the Irish ma.
tionallsts filibustered for many years.
The liberals have not even a fight left
In them.
Conservatives were on hand early
to get seats with the government
party. The tory majority is so large
that many OF their number will be
compelled to sit with the opposition,
owing to scarcity of seats.
The laborites will occupy most Of
the seats to the left of the speaker.

the loyalty" of the workers
and peasants.
How the Fight Began.
In 1922 a leading Communist,
Kingissepp. was murdered by the
white guardists who were never even
tried for the crime. Then the party
headquarters was raided and destroy
ed by the white guards. this also go
ing unpublished. The shop nucleus
structure OF the Communist Party
made possible the continuation of the
fight after all raids and reprisals
which have been unceasing.
Following the 1922 attacks united
front was built up on the basis Of
concrete issues which became the
general demands Of the whole work
ing class. On the basis OF these de-
n1ands the Communists. together with
the revolutionary labor unions and the
left wing. landless peasants, put up a
joint ticket of candidates for the cleo
lions to parliament. which took place
in the spring Of 10 2ss As a-sssult the
social democrats were defeated and
the Communists and groups in sym
pathy with them gained greatly.
To combat the influence of the
Communists the capitalists used
ruthless suppression. At the end of
January 1924 over $50 active work
ers were arrested, inclunding all the
deputies representing the Communists
and the labor fraction in both parlia-
ment and municipal councils, while
the legal Workers Party, with its los
locals, and the Workers sports clubs
together with 124 trade unions were
dissolved by police and soldiery re
Icruited from white guard bands.
A Strange coincIdent.
After the arrests one man among
the prisoners was released and It was
understood that he was police spy

The farcical trial" finally opened
about two weeks ago before military
court which had decided the prison
ers' guilt" long before. In fact the
court" was composed Of the same
white guardists who had raided the
Communists previously.
The Communists, refusing to &C
knowledge the jurisdiction or author
ity of such court" or to counter
ance by silence the farce Of such a
trial" began to make speeches
against employers and landlords to the

in the second game of the little world
series this afternoon by the score Of

The Saints punched their hits on Og.

great throws by the Oriole outfielders

checked the visitors from piling up many

desired to bet on Pittsburg. why did
you single me out for this crooked prop

piled.

him he could feather your nest for

to have anything to do with the pro.

the attempted bribery to anyone, with
the exception of Cy. Young, famous
pitcher with the Cleveland ball club,

a discussion of the 1913 scandal about

johnson of the American league to-
night made public hitherto secret af-
fidavit revealing that cr0okedness was
attempted in the first worlds series ever
played, when in 1908 Lou Criger, ia
nous catcher with the Boston Red Sox,
contesting with the Pirates, was Of
fered $4,000 to throw games.
The affidavit relates that the at
tempted brihe was made by profess
sional gambler introduced to Criger two
years previous in the presence of John
j.. McGraw, manager of the, New York
Giants, and Wilbur Robinson, pilot of
the Brooklyn Nationals.
Crigier Tells Facts
President johnson said the affidavit
was made by Criger in February 1923
at time when the famous catcher,
rapidly failing in health, was starting
for the west, abandoning all hope of
living longer than fews1weeks.
1T was q statement of man going
west to die" President johnson said.
Fortunately Criger is alive today, how
ever, and is living in Nevada"
Criger in his affidavit declared he
was introduced to a professional gam
bier of the name of Anderson, whose
first name he does not recall, by Rob-
inson in Baltimore in 1901, and that
in the company of McGraw and Rob-
inson, he spent the afternoon with An
derson at country bowling club 10
Gated near Baltimore. Cffger said An
derson left the impression that his
business was that4sof at professional
gambler.
Gambler Attempts Bride
According to Criger's kaffidayit., he
did not see Anderson again until 1908
when he met him in the Mongahela ho-
tel in Pittsburg when the Boston and
Pittsburg clubs were contesting in the
first worlds series played after the
settlement of the war between the
