You Say Sarazen Is Good?
 See McDerTnott's Records

They are hailing Gene Sarazen as the super golfer of the present. The little Italian is an artist, but he was no greater, if as g7 eat, as was !. ok McDermott more than q decade go.
 As a caddy McDermott fini ll' l fourth in the Philadelphia open 1909. Then he was 70.
 The next year he finished in tie with Macdonald Smith an Smith for the open cha.npionsh- ing in the playof.
 The following year he again finn a triple tie for the title. but won fr- Mike Brady and George Simpson in the playoff.
 And the very next year the brilliant Philadelphian won the title outright, finishing two strokes ahead of Tom McNamara, his nearest competitor.
 Here's a record that has never been equaled in American golf, and proba- bIy never will be: For three successive years McDermott was just as good as any player in the field over the regu- lation distance, and twice, successiyely, he was better.
 Let Mr. Sarazen and the other bril- liants Of today take rife shot at that mark.

Politics and Money

For the employing class, it is automatic to con
clude that in politics, more than in any other en-
terprise, money is the most eloquent spokesman
This point of view is to be found amongst the
newspaper men and political experts defending
all the layers of the owning class-the Coolidge
Davis and LaFollette supporters
Using this capitalist method as political yard
stick, Mr.. Lawrence Todd, the Washington CORE
spondent of the Federated Press, who has for some
time been oyer-enthusiastic supporter of the La
Toilette movement jumped to the conclusion that
it would enhance his forlorn cause to spread the
yarn that the Workers Party was raising a cam
paign fund of one million dollars. When Mr.. Todd
circulated this ridiculous report, he must have
known, as well as one could possibly know, that
his so-called reliable information was utterly un-
founded.
Now, Mr.. Todd is attempting to crawl out of
the miserable position in which he got himself by
an effort to prejudice some workers against the
Communist ticket Mr.. Todd, breathing the un
holy Washington atmosphere, felt that perhaps
some of the irritation aroused by huge campaign
funds might be effectively turned against the Com
munists. This alone could serve as plausible in
depreciation for Mr.. Todd's ventures. Realizing
his mistake, Mr.. Todd is now attempting to follow
up with another ridiculous report. He is insinu-
ating that the Workers Party campaign efforts
have failed because its recognized spokesman admit
that they would be glad to have raised onetenth
the million he allotted to them.
The Communists have raised their money to f.
nance the campaign without the support of such
LaFollette "angels" as the Vanderlips, Spreckels,
open-shop mine-owning Mr.. Stone anti-union man
ufacturer Mr.. Rawleigh. The Communists have
not vowed, as the LaFollette organization did, to
raise halfmililon dollars in Wisconsin or in any
other state. We do not expect disemployed work
ers and exploited farmers to invest so heavily even
in so sound proposition a Communist political
campaign. Mr.. Todd is as wrong in his second
conclusion as in his first. The success of the Com
munist campaign is not to be measured simply by
the amount of money we may have succeeded in
raising amongst poor workers. What is an axiom
for the capitalist Spokesman Coolidge, Davis and
LaFollette-holds no water for the working class.
