in many Of the colored churches and
especially the Methodist Churches:
that the smaller churches received
fifty dollars for each Democratic meet
ing held in it; that the larger churches
such as Bethel Church, And and
Grand Blvd, received one hundred
dollars and possibly more.
AT the beginning Of the recent sena-
torial contest it was announced
through the columns of the daily
newspapers that Oscar DePriest and
"A. J. Carey would turn over heaven
and hades in a bold effort to deliver
the colored voters in this city to Sen
ator Mccormick and State Senator
Essington. 1t was freely herald
abroad that these two eminent citizens
or at least one of them would have
full charge Of the campaign of the
two gentlemen already mentioned.
That one hundred thousand dollars
was placed under the control Of Oscar
DePriest to enable him to labor
among the brethren. Many meetings
were held in various churches and pre-
sumeably the preachers OF these
churches received their Bit out Of this
political corruption fund.
Some Of the preachers grew red in
the face and became very eloquent in
their condemnation of Governor Small
notwithstanding the fact that some OF
those same preachers had received
many favors from his hands in the
past.
On Sunday, April 9th, many meet
ings were held in the colored churches
on the south side. CThe Chicago Tri-
bune claims that twenty-five of the
leading preachers bitterly denounced
Governor Small form their pulpits)
and Il j. further claimed that Oh that
same Sunday Or the Lords Day, that
Oscar DePriest contributed FIVE hun
dred dollars to each OF the twenty
preachers who ranted and snorted
against Governor Small and that no
secret was made Of the fact that one
hundred thousand dollars belonging to
Senator Mccormick, was IN sight 10

wind up he will win the nomination.
On the other hand the supporters Of
Hon. Charles S. Deneen firmly believe
that at the last point, or at the other
end, he will secure the nomination
AT this time there are in the neighbor-
hood Of three hundred precients scat
tered throughout this State which have
not been canvassed and no returns
have been received from any one or
any canvassing board as to the num-
Der Of uncounted ballots laying round
in the ballot boxes, which may in time
play an important part in the senator
ia1 contest, and may mean either the
defeat of Mr.. Deneen or Mr.. McCor-
mick.
The uncertainty as to the final out
come Of the senatorial contest is very
trying on the nerves Of the supporters
Of both of the distinguished candi-
dates.
1t may be said to the ever lasting
credit Of Mr.. Deneen, that he con-
Quoted a clean and brilliant senatorial
campaign and that there was no mud
singing on his part which is ample
proof that he is constructed OF the
proper material to represent this great
state in the United States Senate.
AT the beginning Of the senatorial
contest, a strong and systematic effort
was made to array all Of the colored
people against Governor Len Small
and Mr.. Deneen. Some Of the most
corruptable and debauching methods
were rcsorted to on the part Of the
colored men selected TO handle the
colored voters, especially in this city.
Oscar DePriest and a. }. Carey were
the two leaders who were supposed to
have charge Of all Of the unsavory
missionary work in connection with
the tranferring of all Of the votes Of
the colored people to Senator McCor-
mick and to State Senator Essington.
lit will be recalled that AZ the spring
election in 1928, It was claimed, al
though it may not Be true, that Oscar
DePriest and A. ]. Carey received
twenty thousand dollars or more for
their efforts in handing over all the

method, the great majority Of the col
ored voters in this city made up their
minds on Tuesday, April 9Th, that they
were not going to permit themselves
TO be sold one year to the democrats,
for large sum Of money which did
not benefit them the least and the
next year to be sold to one Of the fac
tons Of the republican party for still a
larger sum Of money which was OF
no benefit to them, so they stood true
to their colors and voted in favor Of
the denomination Of Hon. Len Small,
for Governor Of Illinois.

out the idea that he desired to be

The ordinary citizen cannot enter
tain much respect for preachers, when
they conduct themselves in such an
unchristian spirit and manner. The
colored race will never be able to
throw off the yoke OF oppression and
the load stone which hangs around
their necks until they rid themselves

ian labor movement by the black
shirted Fascist.
The Swedish Socialist leader HAL
mar Branting wrote in the Social
demokraten", "Lenin has accomplish
ed a great historic feat, clearing with
a merciless struggle his land from
everything old. The developments
showed that Lenin understood his
eople better than anyone else and has
evaluated the conditions in Russia bet
ter than the Mensheviks." This opin-
ion does not prevent Branting from
accepting from his comrade in the
Second International, the Menshevik
Abramovich, the claim that the Russ
ian revolution was carried out in
Russia by the Bolsheviks with little or
no understanding of Russian condi-
lions and against the interests of the
Russian workers. While praising Len
ms work in behalf of the Russian
people, Branting, as leading member
Of the Council of the League Of Ma
tions, has been supporting various
counter-revolutionar plots which
were engineered by the League of
Nations against Russia.

And the American Socialist Party
must not be overlooked in this re
view. AS of old it is in chaotic con

agreement regarding the place Of
Lenin in the labor movement. Instead
of that we have Eugene Debs issuing

whole empire a monument to human
will, which will tower over all our &C
complishments" And about Lenin-
eve are pygmies in comparison with
him"
The French Socialist organ, "Popu-
laire" wrote on Lenins death: I'VE
can only bow our heads before the
remains of a man who has played the
most important role in the history Of
International Socialism since Marx
and Jaures. Lenin was great states
man and theoretician. He will re-
main in history as the incarnation of
the Russian revolution. He will be
passionately discussed and interpret
ed. Lenin leaves this world at a time
when the experiment which he began
has not yet produced final results"
Amidst the reverence which the revo-
lutionary French workers exhibited
upon the receipt of news of Lenin's
death, the French Socialists had to
join the mourning procession.
The italian Socialist "Avanti'', at
present controlled by the most re-
formist Socialists, was forced to pay
tribute to the memory Of the great
revolutionary leader knowing the sor-
row which the masses Of the Italian
workers have experienced upon learn
| ing of Lenin's death. The "Avanti''
writes: "The death of Lenin-- a
heavy loss for Russia and heavy
loss Of the international proletariat.
The Russian proletariat lost a great
leader who could combine theory and
practice and always find way out
in the most adverse conditions and in
the interest of the proletariat". The

What The World Thought Of Lenin

"a most despotic ruler any nation ever
had" and that "at his death capitalism
was more promising in Russia than
even under the Gar" The New York
Socialists held Lenin memorial meet
ing in the Rand Hotel, while the Penn
sylvania State Socialist convention at
Harrisburg voted to table a resolution
of coincidence on Lenin's death.
Leninism-the True Weapon.
Can one really speak of Lenin and
the American Socialist Party at the
same time Yes, because both are
dead But while Lenin is only dead
in body, the Socialist Party is dead
both in body and spirit A visit to 80
Eastern cities during my present lee
ture trip, brought home to me the
fact that the Socialist Party, which
had previously had strong organiza-
tions in these cities, has absolutely
disappeared from the political arena.
Here and there few stray old mem
bers still cling to the old firm as q
habit. The only functioning proleta-
rian elements working for Socialism
in this country are those in the Com
munist Workers Party. It is these
militants in the labor movement who
have paid true homage to their great
leader and teacher Lenin. Together
with the French Communist organ
/ "L'Humanite" the American Commun-
lists declare: "Lenin's name, memory,
and example will remain as lights
burning in the dark which will never
go out. With his name on their lips
and his image in their hearts, the
workers of the world will continue
the struggle with the methods which
he has pointed out until the final ac-
complishment of their ultimate aim
the establishment of free workers
society"

Great Britain.
The Daily Herald, the official organ
Of the Labor Party writes: "Lenin
rises in history as giant compared
to all his contemporaries. His great
ness consisted in the combination OF
iron will with deep learning and wong
derful sense of reality. Among all
historical figures he stands out the

HAY FEVER SEASON
/ !. HOW TO PREVENT II

SEATTLE, WASH, May 22.-This
IS the season Of the year when per-
sons susceptible to hay fever become
Effected by It, DR.. Paul A. Turner, di-
zector Of the state department Of
ealth, points out. Most of the grass
es, which cause hay fever, begin to
pollinate during the spring and sum-
mer months.
A degree Of immunization may be
obtained by the injection of a vaccine
composed of a solution of the pollens
to which the person is susceptible.
This treatment, to obtain the best re-
suits, should begin about six weeks
prior to the time at which the pollens
begin to saturate the air. However,
it may be started later with good re-
suits.
In Washington some of the most
common of the grasses of which the
wind disseminates the pollen are We
let Grass, Plantain, Orchard Grass,
Timothy, Red Top, Couch Grass, Per-
ennial Rye, June Grass or Blue Grass
and Sheep Sorrell. The pollen of
these grasses starts to be scattered
in the midle of May and continues to
be in the air during the summer.
In the early spring, the pollen of
Alder and Hazel cause this affliction
at times while in Eastern, Washing
ton in August and September the pol
len Of Rag Weed, Russian Thistle,
and Sage Brush have this effect.
