CALIFORNIA Republicans in their
- primary election deserted Hiram
Johnson and gave their preference to
Coolidge by a majority Of something
like $4,000. Johnson bore up under the
blow bravely, declaring the result was
not a tragedy. In the Democratic
primaries McAdOO ran against an IN
instructed slate and won an impressive
victory.
Indiana Republicans also decided
for Coolidge as against johnson by a
huge majority. The chief interest
there was in the race of Ed Jackson
for the gubernatOrial nomination. He
was backed by the Ku Klux Khan and
obtained q clear majority owe all his
five opponents combined. The Demo
Gratis were solid for RalstOn. and DIR.
Carleton McCulloch was In the lead
for the gubernatOrial nomination.
Mr.. Coolidge has now defeated Sem
atOr johnson In all the direct primary
states except South Dakota, and vet
eran politicians believe the Californian
is eliminated for all time as a Presi-
Dental possibility. The President and
his close advisers are now formulating
a platform for presentation to the
Cleveland convention. devOting them
selves at present especially to pianks
dealing with International matters. Ac-
cording TO one %veracious correspondent
the tentative program embOdies these
features:

World court If II is divorced from the
League OF Nations.
2. Tie court shall he maintained In
connection with The Hague tribunal

AMOROUS RAJAH'S
COGNOMEN NOW
TOLD TO WORLD
Dusky Prince Caused
Lots Of Trouble

LONDON, Dec. 4.-The identity of
the mysterious "Mr. A." who dramat-
ically figured in. the $3.50, 00O. Robinson
blackmai1 plot has at last been reveal.
ed by the Indian office Of the British
government. OF course everybody in
England knew his name by the time
the veil of secrecy was lifted.
The Mysterious Rajah.
His name has been published in
American and foreign papers but Brit
ish journals were only able to hint at
his identity for fear Of being cited for
contempt of court.
The full name and titles Of the am
curious gentleman are, Gen. His High
ness Rajah Sir Hari Singh, X. c. /. E.,
X G. v. o., The story of his entangle-
ments in the wiles Of Mrs. Robinson,
are well known and no more interest

which pass thru the courts every year,
except for the fact that the rajah wa

to keep the news from breaking into
print.
Political Aspects of Case.
The interesting feature of the scan.
dial is the part played by the Indian
Office of the British government in
protecting the rajahs reputation for
reasons Of state. The rajah was
already committed in a matrimonial
ENHANCEMENT with the daughter of a
man of high standing in India, and it
is reported that his life would not be
worth a buffalo nickel If his legal
wife's relatives get their fingers on
him.
II Was Burning Question.
Another and more serious aspect OF
the affair SO far as Great Britain was
concerned was the fact that in the
event Of this particular rajah getting
the can tied to him another potentate
who has not yet felt the touch Of Brit
sh gold, might rise to the rajahship
and make trouble for John Bull.
Therefore Judge Darling, who pre-.
sided at the trial, ordered the papers
not to make the rajah's name public,
until other rajahs in India, became OBJ.

What Are Shop Nuclei
Sundays Subject

Well, what about next Saturday
night? Where were you last Sunday
night? If you were not at the Open
Forum when VIM. r. Dunno spoke on
the events and issues of the Fifth
Congress of the Communist Interna-
tional, you missed an intellectual
square meal. This happened at the
lodge room OF the Ashland Auditorium.
Ashland boulevard and Van Buren,
street, the regular Open Forum hall
Of the Workers Party.
One of the issues which made the
Fifth Congress Of the Comintern a
landmark in the development of the
Communist parties of every nation on
earth, was the resolution Of the con
gress for the "Bolshevization" of the
Communist parties.
What is the meaning Of the 4BoE-
shevization" of the parties? OF what
does a real "Bolshevik" party consist,
as distinguished from party which is
ahiIiated with the Communist Inter
national, yet which is not a ''BoIshe.
vik' party?
Next Sunday night, at p. m. there
is going to be a lecture on what the
"Bolshevizing" of the Workers Party
means. Martin Abern, secretary OF
the Chicago local of the Workers
Party is going to explain how a new
kind of political party-new to the
United States--is being organized. II
is something Of an open secret that
the Workers Party is being made over,
that it is in the transition period be.
tween a social-democratic form Of or.
ganization and really Communist
form.
The sureenough "Bolshevik'' form
Of party organization makes itself dis.
tinguished by basing its organisation
q political party, in the shops and fac
tories. How this is done, how it works
and what it means will be told by
Comrade Abern next Sunday night.
