Great stuff! The papers will be

and that. Then the magnates will
go home, having set fire to the
kindlings under the Hot Stove
League. Nevertheless, it is true
that about every major league
club does want something in the
way of added Notwithstanding
along this line:
Griffmen-One seasoned right
handed pitcher and one right
handed hitting outfielder. Also
a lively infielder wouldn't hurt any.
Yankees-One shortstop, at least
two pitchers and one good catcher.
Tigers-A second baseeman, pos
sibly good shortstop and a right
handed hurler.
Indians--Pitchers and infielders,
except a shortstop. Speaker will
grab as many as possible.
Northumberland says he wants
a capable righthanded pitcher. He
should know.
Browns-Pitchers, as many as
possible, and another catcher.
Red Sox-All they can get.
White Sox-A team to fit around

Falk.

Kennedy Names Bouek.
When the cheering had died, Dele
gate John Curtiss Kennedy OF Wash
ington was recognized to place the
name of William Bouck, president of
the Western Progressive Farmers, in
nomination as the candidate for vice
president.
But first he spoke a few words of
Macdonald, who, he said, was a splen-
did representative of the industrial
wage earning group, a man in whom
we can have the fullest confidence.
Then Kennedy told of how Bouck
had followed the advice of Horace
Greeley and gone West, first into the
mines, to be driven from one mining
camp to another, and then going into
Washington, where he helped organize
the agricultural workers.
Solution Under Capitalism.
"The Western Progressive Farmers
has made new departure in the
organization of farmers. 1t recognizes
that there is no solution of the prob.
lens of the farmers under capitalism
This organization knows that ali
power must be wrested from the
money power. That the exploited must
build their own workers and farm
ers' republic
When William Bouck was called to
the platform following the ovation
that greeted his unanimous nomina
ton, he didn't indulge in pyrotechnics
but Immediately began discussing in
ternationalism.

smacks of internationalism. want tC

would thereupon, thru their national
committee, withdraw their candi
dates.
Must Accept FL. Program.
This seemed to satisfy Delegate
Peterson, who thereupon withdrew
his nomination of LaFollette. Dele
gate William 2. Foster, of the Work
ers party, in reply to Mahoney, then
made the following statement:
"In view of the statement Just
made by Mr.. Mahoney, relative to
the candidacy Of Mr.. LaFollette, |
feel 1t Incumbent upon me to state
the position Of the Workers party
on this matter. In the coming tne.
gotiatlons between the national
committee Of the national Farmer
Labor party and other groups rea-
tive to combined action upon a pres
ldontlaI candidate, the only basis
upon which the Workers party will
accept LaFollette as a candidate is,
If he agrees to run as the Farmer
Labor candidate, to accept that
party's platform and It's control
over his electoral campaign and
campaign funds"
When Macdonald was ushered to
the platform for his acceptance
speech as the party's candidate, he
did not mince words as to where he
stood towards LaFollette. He re-
ferred to him as "one whom he hoped
at one time would be with us.
Macdonald then argued that the
United States was now in position
similar to that in the Roman empire
before it crumbled into dust. He said
it was a period where all power had
fallen into the hands of the few.
Deter Red Than oily.
'I suppose l shall be presented as
the candidate of the Reds" contin-
ued Macdonald. But am not partic-
ular about what the press says in
that respect. would rather be called
red than be smeared with oil up to my
eyebrows like the gang at Cleveland.
We have reached a crisis in this coun-
try. The common people must speak
up. They say that we are backed by
Moscow gold. Well, so far as l know
every time the Communists hold a
meeting in this country they always
have to pass the hat to raise ex'
penses."
Macdonald then took up the ques.
ton of war and militarism. He said
that the workers and farmers, on the
eve of the next war must declare to
the ruling class: "If you start a wal
go and fight it. We are going to stay
at home" The dominant idea must be
not only in America but all over the
world, there must be no more wars.
Macdonald Hits C. p. p. A.
Macdonald then directed a few
shafts at the coming gathering il

want the farmers to talk International
ism. They all know that the price Of
their wheat is fixed in the Liverpool
market Liverpool settles the price Of
world wheat. You farmers can crawl
back into your Minnesota and your
North Dakota but your markets, the
price of your wheat and other grain
will not crawl in with you. That is
an international question"
Bouck Praises Wobblies.
Bouck also paid tribute to the In
dustrial Workers of the World, amid
the cheers of the delegates, showing
how they had cleaned up the lumber
camps in the state of Washington
and were now enjoying decent wage
and conditions better than the farm
ers.
1t was at this point that Delegate
Starkey of st. Paul again projected
himself into the proceedings. He
wanted Delegate Foster to repeat the
statement he had made about the La
Toilette candidacy. He came up to the
front of the convention hall and de-
clared in the best threatening attitude
he could muster that "I'll have to re-
move myself from the convention if
Fosters statement means that the
Communists are in control Of the con-
vention"
Starkey Laughed Out
While the convention laughed
Starkey out of countenance the chair
man, Delegate Taylor, ruled that he
was out of order, and Starkey was
GLAD to drop into the nearest seat.
Delegate Joseph Manley then made

Big Crowd Hears How
Workers Party Helps

Two thousand Western Electric
workers spent their noon hour listen.
ing to speakers representing the
Workers Party and the Young Work
ers League, who talked to the men
from the back of the DAILY WORK.
Err truck.
Labor Heralds, Liberators and
DAILY WORKERS went like hot
cakes as the Western Electric work
ers listened to four speakers. They
stayed until the whistle blew, and
many of them turned away reluctant
ly, securing copies Of why every
worker should be a Communist and
join the Workers Party" before they
went back into the shop.
Barney Mass told the workers about
the class struggle. THE Workers Par
ty is here to see that you men have q
means of organization and expression
against the profit system which makes
you slave" Mass told his audience. AS
soon as Mass opened up the meeting
real estate men and card juggling soar
sellers lost their crowd.
The Workers Party meetings are be
coming regular institution at the
22nd st. site of the Western Electric
plant They will be held here every
day in the future.
Manuel Gomez spoke on the signifi'
canoe of the workers having their own
political working class party, and told
how one is now being formed in St
Paul. He showed up the republican
Teapot Dome convention, and said the
democrats would be just as corrupt.
Karl Reeve spoke on conditions in
side the Western Electric. What is
the remedy?" Reeve asked. Its a
big problem but the Workers Party
tells you that the problem Of low
wages and bad labor conditions will
never be solved until you workers
own and run the plant yourselves un
der your own workers government"
"At the present time" Reeve de
clared, you beg like hell for job
and then you work like hell to keep IT.
The bosses give you meager wage
and out Of your labor reap millions
of dollars in profits. Your problems
will never be solved until the damn,
able profit system is abolished. and
the workers take over the factories
and run them to serve each other as
workers, and not for the dividends
reaped by capitalists"
Jack Mccarthy made a ringing ap,
peal for the workers in the Western
Electric to subscribe to the DAILY
WORKER, and not to be afraid to
joins union, if they would be Eacr
and not slaves.

Howat received an ovation as he
came on the stage.

ed to tell Of MacDonalds long record
of service in the organized labor

Alice Lorraine Daily, of South Da.

claring, 'it is great satisfaction to
me to second the nomination for pres.
ident of their industrial worker Of Hi.

Macdonald had been born on the

1t was at this point that Delegate
P. A. Peterson, of Minnesota, raised
the bugaboo Of LaFoliette once more
He wanted to know If LaFollette
had rejected, under or over his sig.
nature, the nomination of the conven.
ton. William Mahonay was called
upon to answer. Mahoney stated that
no definite written rejection had been
received from LaFollette, but in a
lengthy review Of the situation he
again showed that LaFollette would
not accept the nomination.
Mahoney On LaFolIette.
Mahoney then gave his interpreta
ton of the attitude towards LaFol
lette, growing out of the report adopt
ed by the organization committee
Mahoney held that the national com
miteet of this convention will nego
tiate with the Cleveland gathering Of
the conference for progressive politi
cal action on the question of candi
