by the Associated Press.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, February e.
Because there were SO many viola
tions of the Texas election laws in
the last general election the United
States Senate, which is investigating
the Psddy -Mayfield senatorial con-
test will be compelled to declare the
election void, Hume Graves, deputy
sergeant-at-arms of ,he Senate, who
is supervising the collection of the
ballots. declared here today.
Among the Irregularities found by
Mr.. Graves are ballot boxes which
have been opened. others with the
seals broken and the keys left in
the locks, some missing altogether
and other boxes not even marked to
show in what election precincts they
were used
signed statements of election officers
who admit that they wrote the name
or Mayfeld on the ballots and passed
them out to voters.
The Senate is scheduled to take up
the Peddy- Mayfield contest on Feb
ruary II. Mr.. Graves says it will take
him week or ten days to complete
his work in the state Many of the
boxes, however. already have been
shipped to Washington and the others
Will be there when needed for the
count.
Mr. Graves said he has checked up
on election counties, exclusive of
BeXar, totaling approximately 165
precincts. In two-thirds of these
counties. he declared, the officials
don't know whether the ballots they
are sending in were used in the pri-
mary or the November election. Not
over ten of the precincts checked up.
Mr. Graves declared, had the boxes
properly sealed and marked as re-
quired by law.
'One county judge even admitted to
me-" Mr.. Graves said. that the boxes
in his county had been opened. In two
other counties the boxes were missing
entirely. One county claimed that
they had been burned, while officials
in the other county didn't know what
had become of them"

FARM BUREAU HEARS PLAN
OF MUSCLE SHOALS PROJECT
VALUE AS FERTILIZER WOULD
CUT MARKET PRICES IN HALF
Would Save Delaware Farmers Alone,
r. F. Bower Says, a Sum Equal
To Half Million OF Dollars

X. +. Bower, representing the Am
erican Farm Bureau Federation, gave
a talk on the subject, "The Truth
About Muscle Shoals" before mem
bers of the New Castle County Farm
Bureau in Wolf Hall, Wednesday af-
ternoon. Mr.. Bower, in speaking of
the Ford plan and the one which is
favored by the American Farm Fed
Grafton Bureau, stated it was the only
one in which it was definitely stated
the plant would be used for the man
ufacture of commercial fertilizers.
The Fifteenth Article of the plan as
quoted in part states:
"The company expressly agrees
during the lease period that it will
manufacture nitrogen and other COM
mercial fertilizers mixed and unmiXed
and with OF without filler according
to command. The annual production
of these fertilizers shall have a nitro
gen content Of at least 10000 tons. y
He declared from the farmer
standpoint it would mean a cut of SO
per cent in the price of highgrade
fertilizer and that to Delaware alone
it would amount to a saving of nearly
one-half million dollars, because in
the past ten years the fertilizer ex-
pense in the State has increased Al
per cent. Ford only asks that the
proposal be put in proper form by
the War Department and that he will
only request there be an investigating
committee of seven men, five farmers
and two of Ford's own men, and thai
the books be open to them at al
times and that at no time shall tn,
profit exceed 8 per cent.

The 198th Anti-Aircraft artillery, |
composed of the Delaware National |
Guard and the 62nd Coast Artillery
of the regular Army stopped in Do
Yer on Wednesday night and remain
ed there until Thursday morning. The
troops were enroute from Rehoboth
TO the State rifle range near New
Castle, where the training period end
ed. The first battalion arrived there
between one and two o'clock in the af-
tenOon and the other two batallions
arrived several hours later They pro-
ceeded through Dover to the athletic
field adjoining the new high school
where they camped for the night. AS
soon as the troops arrived on the
camp site they erected their shelter
tents in company rows. The officers
tents and kitchens were placed at the
head of the columns of shelter tents.
The camp attracted many visitors
during the evening, many of whom
secured their first glimpse of how the
soldiers live when they are on field
duty. There was no firing on the
program for the evening, but the
searchlight battery used one of their
lights in demonstration which attract
ed large amount of attention. The
regimental band gave a concert on the
Green which lasted for several hours
and was attended by large number
of persons. When it was considered
that the band had been organized for
less than two weeks, the concert rem
dered was exceptionally good. The
next morning they gave a concert in
Smyrna. The stop made in Dover
was a part of the program for this
years training along the line of tran
sportation. Enroute to RehObOth, the
soldiers remained one night in Mil
ford, where some practice in night
firing was received. The officers OF
the regiment are very well pleased
with the success attained in the train
ing this year. The principal object
of the camp was to solve the problem
of transportation and firing for the
units having large pieces of artillery
The units with machine guns received
the greater amount of their training
in firing at the camp last year. The
program for the training has beer
carried out successfully and the prob

PRIMARIES ON AUGUST BOTH
Democratic Committee Named Date
at Meeting on Tuesday

Democratic COmmlttee Ndmeu Ddle
at Meeting on Tuesday
The Kent county primary election
will be held on Saturday, August 80.
This was decided at a meeting of the
County Committee at Dover last
week. This will be the first time in
the memory of a number of persons
that the county primary has been
held before the State Convention
which will not be held this year until
September 9. A number of dele
gates who were questioned on the
reason for selecting an early date
stated that the main reason was that
some of the candidates are becoming
tired of campaigning and wish to
have the primary election make its
choice so that those successful can
start work on the general campaign.
Under the law it will be necessary
for all those who desire to become
candidates, to file their names with
the County Committee ten days be-
fore the date of the primary. The
hours for holding the Primary cleo
ton will be from one o'clock in the
afternoon until seven o'clock in the
evening. The election will be held at
the usual place for holding such pri-
mary elections in the various districts
During the meeting Major R. Kenney
the County Chairman, spoke very
highly of the success attained in the
registration this year and stated that
it has been very unusual in its mag
nitude for the first three days. Ar
rangements were made for a meeting
of the County Committee on Monday
September first, which is Labor Day
for the purpose of canvassing the
vote and clearing up its work before
the new committee which will bc
elected during the primary, will TAXI

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-09-06
The Marx-Engels Institute in Moscow

a new epoch into the investigation OF
Marx.
The publication of such critical
collected edition of the works of Marx
and Engels with objective historical
commentaries, which are necessary to
facilitate, or even to make possible for
the first time, the spreading of these
works and their scientific populariza-
ton, is however, very great
scientific and organizational task.
1t can only be undertaken with
the assistance of an equipment rich
enough in theoretical and historical
documents to correspond with the
encyclopedia scope-both political and
theoretical-of Marx and Engels' ac-
tivity. Workers thoroughly trained in
scientific Marxism are equally necess-
airy. No doubt the apparatus possess
ed by the Marx and Engels Institute
still requires completion and enrich
ment, but the materials and the train
ned workers which it already possess
es are enough to enable it to begin
this vast work at once. The Institute
was founded in 1920 by Comrade Rya-
sanov, who is still its director, the
sole aim of the institute being to fur
Their the ends of MARKHAM research.
It's whole organization, its collection
o fbooks and periodicals lit possesses
a library of more than, a hundred
thousand volumes), the work carried
on within the institute and the publ
cations it issues, all serve the aim
of reconstructing the practical and
theoretical life-work of Marx and En-
gels on critical historical basis.
The work of the Institute is organ
lied from two points of view. On the
one hand it deals with the chief coun-
tries influenced by the political ac-
tivities Of Marx and Engels, the his
tory of these countries being inten-
sively studied, and on the other hand
with the various branches of know
ledge comprised in their theoretical
work. 1t follows that the chief de-
partments Of the notwithstanding

One of the questions which engaged
the attention of the v. World Con
gress was the question of interna-
tioQal scientific propaganda of Marx
ism, which is to be carried on in the
first place by an international critical
collected edition of the works of Marx
and Engels, that is, an edition in the
language of the original text, with
critical explanations. The guarantee
for the realization of such big pro-
ject is offered by the Marx-Engels In
stitute in Moscow, which would have
the main share in the carrying out of
this task of such wide political and
scientific Importance.
What are the circumstances which
qualify the M. E. l. for the carrying
out of this task? The -Engels
Institute possesses the printed and
written remains of Marx and Engels
in a more complete form than any
where else. The M. E. /. possesses al
most all the newspapers and period
icals on which Marx and Engels col
Elaborated.
The M. E. /. is to great degree
richer in sources than the Social
Democratic Party archives in Berlin,
to whom the posthumus writings
should have come. Besides the writ
ten remains in the Social-D Democratic
archives, Comrade Ryasanov has sue
ceeded in obtaining much material on
Lafargue, Bernstein (the German
Ideology'') and in addition the letters
OF Marx and Engels to Wilhelm Lieb-
knecht, Bernstein and Kautsky, partly
in the original and partly in photo
graphic reproductions. The M. E. l.
is also in the position to undertake a
textual criticism of earlier editions OF
the works of Marx and Engels, on the
basis Of the manuscripts. OF much
greater Importance, however, is the
fact that the unpublished material in
the possession of the M. e. /. is of
such quantity and quality that its
publication is calculated to introduce

BY ARTHUR ROSENBERG

I'M the 10Th and Goth July there
~ was held in Berlin the session of
the National Council of the c. P. Of
Germany, in order to decide on the
Party's attitude towards the decisions
of the World Congress and to for
mulate the practical tasks which the
Party at present has to solve. 1t was
a very important moment: in Ger
many there exists all the pacifist
cackle, the comedy of the Experts
Report and the renewed cry of the
German social democrats as to rescu-
ing the working class thru the good will
of International capital; at the same
time we see growing economic crisis,
closing down of factories, unemploy-
ment, the coming into force of pro-
tective tariffs, and in order to con-
ceal all this, furious persecution Of
the c. P. of Germany, the terrorist
sentences of the criminal courts in or
der to protect the so-called republic,
the monster trial against the central
of the Communist Party, the suspen-
sion Of immunity against Communist
members Of parliament, the hair-rais-
ing stories Of the Tcheka, cholera
germs etc. The present situation is
characterised by increased persecu-
tion of the Communist party at time
OF increased illusions OF the working
class. Thus the present situation is
one full Of difficulties.
Such a period Of acute persecution
and temporary depression forms a
special testing time for revolutionary
parties. In such a situation differ
ences Of opinion and groupings within
the party very easily arise. In adj
dition to this there came the discus
sion Of the decisions of the World Con-
gress, which are of very important
character, and especially in the trade
union question, raise quite a number
of very important problems.
This session therefore constituted
a fiery test as to how far the Party
is consolidated, whether the Party is
really capable or not Of carrying out
the program decided on Frankfurton-
Main, regarding the overcoming Of fac
tions and the bolshevisation of the
