Wheeler!
Defender of Capitalism

BURTON K. Wheeler, candidate
- for vice-president of the United
States on the LaFollette ticket,
speaks tonight in Chicago. Because
of the publicity which his million
aire hackers have flooded the coun-
try with, thousands of workers are
under the impression that the
Montana senator is radical, and a
champion of the rights Of labor.
WheeIer's record does not support
this assumption.
Burton X. Wheeler was an ardent
supporter of the late war, war
that left 100000 of the flower Of
Americas manhood to rot on the
bloody battIefields of Europe, and
left behind it train of misery from
which the human race has not yet
recovered and will never recover
under capitalism. The vice-presi-
dental candidate on the LaFoIette
ticket did his level best to defend
the Morgan millions with the lives
Of others.

Attorney Swanson announces that
barrow has offered his services In
an attempt to halt execution of
Grant, who is alleged to have killed
a policeman, and Swanson says that
Darrows offer will be accepted.
Clarence will probably make the
cIemeney plea before Governor Len

his first request will be a full par
don for the youth, who, tho 10, al
ready has white hair from the wor-
rylng he has done In the last couple

The trade union congress in Hull

iance of the farmer-labor party of this

creating a furore among the progress
sive elements.
There appears to be tri-party com.
bination in this state between Wheel.
er, the so-called progressive, Dixon,
the republican governor, and Walsh,
the democrat, against the farmer-labor
party. The plan is to support Walsh
and Dixon in return for their support
for LaFollette in November.

WheeIer's Friends.

There is an old saying to the effect
that man may be known by his
company. Who are Wheeler's
friends in Montana? One of them,
and perhaps the most influential,
is Thomas j. Walsh, senior senator
from Montana, author of the GRIM
inal syndicalist law of that state,
a man who has nothing in common
with the aims of labor or even with
mild progressivism. T. J. Walsh
was permanent chairman of the
democratic convention in New York,
where he euIoglzed John w. Davis
and endorsed the platform adopted
at the democratic convention, which
entirely ignored the demands of
even the ultra-reactionary officials
of the American Federation of La
Dor.
Yet Burton X. Wheeler has enter
ed into a horse deal with this re-
dictionary foe of free speech, Senator
Walsh, under which Wheeler agrees
to support Walsh in return for
WaIsh's support of the LaFollette
ticket in Montana. furthermore,
Wheeler has entered into a con-
spiracy with the democrat Walsh
and the republican governor, Dixon,
in Montana, to kill the Farmer-Labor
Party in that state which is a thorn
in the side of this ambitious poll
tical schemer.

LEAD fight ON
LAFOLLETTE IN
A. C. v. LOCAL
MilitGntS Hit Alliance
With Liberalism

One thousand members of
the largest local in the AmaIga-
mated Clothing Workers Of
Amreica, SO of Chicago, heard
the issue of support for LaFoI-
lette debated in one of the most
spirited and weII-attended meet
ings yet held.
Samuel Levin, member of the
general executive board of the
union, spoke for the leading
body which had endorsed the
candidacy of LaFollette for pre-
sident and Wheeler for vice-pre-
sident.
Schneid Leads Against Bob.
Lyman Schneid led the fight Of the
left wing against the endorsement.
"The Amalgamated was born as a
protest against the reactionary mis-
leadership of the Rickert bunch. We
had no experience, no money, and tho
we were being condemned by the Off
cial labor movement, we succeeded in
organizing the rebellious element with
in the United Garment Workers,
which carried within it the faith and
devotion to the ideals of revolutionary
socialism, the only power that has
made us what we are today" began
Schneid.
I'm the face of our traditions and
history how can we jump on the band
wagon with the LaFollette crowd?
Rickert is supporting LaFollette. How
can we in the same breath endorse
LaFollette, while we condemn the
Rickert gang. when Rickert even so
late as this year sent his henchmen in
to break our strikes, signing agree
ments with concerns against which we
were striking, and helping the manu-
facturers to defeat us?
"Then there is Big Bill Thompson,
the man that the LaFolletteites want
ed to have as their senatorial candi-
date. How can we support this move
ment which wants Thompson, when
this same man, in the greatest strug-
gle of the Chicago clothing workers in
1915, ordered them to go back to work,
and betray their own interests; when
three thousand men were arrested for
the mere fact that they were carrying
on peaceful picketing?"
Levin Evades Issues.
These arguments amounted to ques-
tions to Levin, but all of them were
evaded. The arguments of the sup
porters of LaFollette in the meeting
were that while it is true that LaFol-
lette did not represent the interests
of the workers, and in spite of the
knowledge that we differ on funda-
mental economic problems, we see in
this movement the greatest hope of
breaking the workers away from their
allegiance to the republican and demo
cratic parties and of forming third
liberal party, which, while not to our
liking, would be the first step towards
the formation of a labor party.
This last was a repetition of the
statements Of the general executive
board which in its declaration of sup
port to LaFollette said that while it
differed fundamentally with Bob on &C.
onomic problems, they saw in the
movement headed by him the first

talist system and no matter how yeu
quarrel with the dominant wlng Of
the American capitalist class you
will fight for that system against tbs
workers In every important ertsia,
as you fought for 1t during the war.
Burton K. Wheeler did not deal
with the anti-labor activities ~ the
department of Justice, because he
declared 1t would narrow the scope
of the Investigation. II would con
fine it to the narrow limits Of one
class. But that class happens to be
the reason why the department. OF
Justice is In existence, likewise the
government. 1t is to keep this class
in subsection that capitalist govern
ments exist. The Dauaherty crimes
you brought to light thru the aid
Of spies, and women Of easy VIRTUES
were Of the common garden variety
and could be duplicated under the
Wilson or any other Washington
administration. Wheeler was not
interested In exposing Daugherty az
a strikebreaker. He only wanted to
have Daugherty driven out Of Of
flee so that his party, the DEM
ocrstic party, could use his dis
misssI as political campaign fodder.
For refusing to expose the most
heinous crimes Of Harry Daugher-
ty, his crimes against the workers
of the country, Burton K. Wheeler
deserves the severest condemnation.
He has shown himself in his true
light as friend of capitalism, and
a dangerous man to the interests
of the workers.

The Daugherty Quiz.

Wheeler broke into the national
limeieht when he was appointed
prosecutor for the committee to in
vestigate the doings of the depart
ment of justice. The crimes of Har-
ry p. Daugherty smeIled to high
heaven. No more notorious crook,
CRATER and alI-around criminal ever
headed that cesspool of corruption,
the department of justice. But of
far greater import to labor than
the bootIegging deals of Daugherty
and his grating connections with
the war fraud cases, was his spec
tacuIar act in breaking the strike Of
the railway shopmen by use of the
injunction, the employment Of thou
sands Of marshalIs to act as strike
breakers and his use Of the in
vestieation bureau of the depart
ment Of justice to disrupt labor
unions, and act as finks in radical
movements with a view to getting
the members of those organizations
behind the bars.
Mr.. Wheeler, you had an excel
lent opportunity to perform a great
service to the labor movement by
taking advantage Of the Daugherty
investigation to throw the light Of
publicity on the real character Of
the government and its machinery.
The government was funetioning
under Harding and Coolidge as
strikebreaking agency and you
could prove this by documentary
evidence. You were In a position to
put the crooks on the witness stand
and compel them to admit their
crimes. Did you do this? Did you
ever bring up the question Of the
infamous Injunction issued against
the railway strikers by Judge VIII
kerson on Daugherty's demand7
Did you ever deal with the strike
breaking activities OF the Burns
Detective Agency, Of which William
]. Burns was chief even while hold
ing a government positlon7 You did
not. Why?

rock VanderIIpIs Order.

Burton X. Wheeler did not de-
eide to accept the nomination for
vice-president on the LaFoiIettey
ticket until he was given orders by
Frank VANDERBILT, capitalist and
financier. Gary has his Coolidge;
Morgan has his Davis and Frank
Vanderbilt has his Wheeler. Where
is the difference? For the moment
the newcomer into the political
spotlight will play to the masses;
will try to fool them with progress
sive phrases, but in the end he will
stand shoulder to shoulder with the
system that has enabled him to
amass wealth valued between $780,
600 and 100000. Tho Wheeler
fights the Anaconda Mining Com
pany in Montana, he has the Kelvin
Campbell interests behind him.
Today Senator Wheeler is sup
porting David |. Walsh, reaction
airy democratic senator from Massa-
chusetts. He is supporting Thomas
J. Walsh, reactionary democratic
senator in Montana. Senator
Wheeler is a champion of the CAPT.
talists who are ION the outs" with
Wall Street. He is the champion
of small business against big bust
n@ss. He INDUCES in fair words to
labor, but he insists that labor must
not organize into party Of it's
own. He has done his level best to
kill the farmer-Iabor party move
ment because he knows that II
mass labor party existed, based on
those who toll in the industries and
on the fields, capitalist politicians
would not be so we'll able to realize
their ambitions and at the same
time help the interests Of their
class as they can by using the
democratic and republican parties
to further their personal ambitions
as Robert M. LaFollette has done
