and the two others named with him are Theodore Derby and William Cunningham. The action of the caucus will, 1t is predicted. lose q large number of votes for the demo- crats and 1t is said that they haven't any to spare.
 Mr, Prior is without exception the most popular democrat in the town and has been generally known that members of the official family in the republican party have voted for him on various occasions to ensure his election. The action taken last night was accomplished by about 15 demo- crats, all that appeared at the cau- GUS, so those in the party who feel that Prior should have been named have no one but themselves to blame, in the opinion of the officials of that party.
 Fred Powers of East Main street, a neighbor of the republican nom- inee, was nominated by exclamation for representative and Edward P. Prior for judge of probate,

BETTER THAN CALOMH Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets
 are a Harmless Substitute

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub- stitute for calomel-are mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. selittle olive colored tablets are the result of Dr Edwards determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
 The pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense ot the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It IS best not to take calomel. Let Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.
 Headaches. "dullness and that lazy feeling come from constipation and disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets when ufeel "logy" and "heavy." They "clear" clouded brain and "perk up" the spirits. 15c and BOG.

means of relief drove the workers
en- masse onto the Guardians, that
the Guardians have been again
thrown into the limelight and the
previous regulations have broken
down. When thousands Of workers
marched from one board to another,
surrounded, threatened them, locked
them in their board meetings, it was
no longer possible % keep up the
Pecksniff virtues Of prying into
every nook and Granny of the do
nestle life of the workers before
coming to their aid. Every COM
mission of inquiry that has been
held has condemned the Guardians
mostly for different reasons. But
now they have got to 60 because
the workers have broken them as a
means Of suppressing their activities
and turned them to account as weap-
ons of attack.
Communist Program.
The Liberal Party is accordingly
proposing the abolition of the
Boards Of Guardians and the merg-
ing of the County and Borough
Councils. The Webbs AMI the Poor
Law commissions are much in ac-
cord and there is every probability
of the Labor Party and the Labor
Government moving along these
lines.
The Communist Party has put
forward another alternative. We
demand not only the abolition Of
Tho Doo,. ~, ,,,-4;k,,t;o-,-. L,,t C4o4o
responsibility for payment of re-
lief to unemployed and the admin
istration of the relief to be made
by the workers themselves thru the
trades unions. The Party chal-
lenges the principle Of that democ-
racy which compels the workers to
go cap in hand to the local grocer
or parson or creature of the petty
bourgeoisie. The workers are ca
pable of administering state insur-
ance thru the unions, why not UNI
employment relief too? This the
party argues also would help to
keep the unemployed and employed
workers together and force upon the
union leaders the task of facing up
to the problem Of unemployment in
it's sharpest form. The Party has
had some success in rs campaign.
The first demand in the unemployed
Charter issued by the General Coun-
Gil of the Trades Union Congress
and the Unemployed Workers Com
mittee contains the Communist
Party proposal. Once on a time
the employers granted relief as
means to reduce wages and to crush
the workers with their administra-
tive machinery. Today the workers
are forcing them to grant relief and
taking the administration from
their hands. That's the meaning
| of Poplarism!
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-04-07

penditures; the Ruhr project has been possible
only by not counting the cost.
By far the largest part of French income
now goes to satisfy the holders of government
bonds and other securities and the populace,
while FESTIVE, tolerated this condition as long
as expenditures were made in other lines which
prevented the enslavement of the workers and
peasants to the bondholders becoming too
obvious.
Today, the demands of the fnanciers who
temporarily halted the downward plunge Of
the franc have removed the political basis of
the Poincare power. The increase OF taxation,
the reduction of the government employees, the
cut in the wages of those who remain, the dis
continuance of reconstruction work, the seal
ing down of military appropriations is bound
to enrage all sections of the French middle
class and peasantry the workingclass is al
ready hostile and with elections coming in May
the best informed political observers in Europe
give Poincare three months of power at the
most.
The franc will continue it's toboggan slide
despite drastic economies because there is no
possible way of making the French budget
balance except by demobilizing the army, cut
ting out all military appropriations, abandon
ing the occupation of the Ruhr and increasing
taxes in a manner that will bring revolt from
the thrifty peasants who have been told that
Germany and Russia will pay the French war
debts.
Everything points to actual bankruptcy of
the capitalist economy of France in the near
future and it will not be surprising if, before
the end of the year, an open dictatorship will
have wiped out all democratic camoufage in
which the imperialists have been indulging
and a French Mussolini will try the hopeless
task of saving French capitalism with which
the fortunes of the House of Morgan are now
intertwined to the tune of hundreds of millions
of dollars wrung from the hides of American
workers.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-04-07

ness To go into the workhouse.
Warehouses accordingly grew apace.
But they were dreaded and hated by
the poor for their dirt, diseases and
devastating fevers that swept thru
them. Thru all the period of the
enclosure acts when the landlords
drove the laborers from the land and
stole the common land from the
people, and the whole period of
what is known as the industrial
revolution it is one long horror.
When the French Revolution drove
the ruling class of Rritam into nerv-
GUS alarm and savage repression of
the workers the development of the
poor law by what is known as the
Speenhamland act drove matters to
the very limits of endurance. By
this act every wage laborer in the
country was reduced to the pauper
level. "The magistrates resolved
that certain definite sum was abb
solutely necessary for the support of
the poor, industrious laborer and
that when the utmost industry of
a family cannot produce the under
mentioned sums, it must be made up
by the overseer exclusive Of rent"
Pauperization of Workers.
This allowance system spread
like wildfre. Why bother about
paying wages except at the very
lowest level? If they were not get
ting enough let Them 90 to the
guardians. The workers were driven
to the guardians and farmed out
by them. Universal pauperism pre-
vailed. It has been left for the
twentieth century to repeat the
eighteenth. Thousands of miners in
Wales, Lancashire and Scotland are
repeating today the experiences of
the first battalions of the proletariat
Of industrial England.
The revolts Of those years, the
prosecutions, the hangings, the
banishments, the imprisonnlents, the
beatings, seem to belong to an in
ferno Of the imagination. But they
broke down the old laws and in 1883
the law which is still the foundation
of the poor law activities was Sc
cured. BY this act the Boards of
Guardian are separate from the bor-
ough city and county councils, able
to levy their own rates and make
their own payments. So long as
there is no crisis, no over straining
of resources, no great inequalities
in payments and resources they jog
along tho continually the subject of
investigation, complaint and con-
demnation. Local parsons, SNUG
shop keepers, the husybodies anx-
ious for the "dear poor" were always
busy with them. While the workers
hated them, treated them with con-
tempt, and would not go to them
until thoroly down and out. 1t was
! not until the wholesale breakdown
of state insurance and every other
