lion dollars notable chiefly for the cor
rupt use of money. The scandalous cam
pagn of 1896, in which Mark Hanna ad.
mitted the expenditures amounting to SIG
500, 900 in order to defeat William j. Bryan,
stands in a class by itself in the extrava gant
use of money to corrupt the electorate Even
so, however, Bryan in that campaign polled
the largest popular vote ever received by a
Democratic candidate. Again in 1900, the
Republican war chest disbursed nearly $10,-
600 900, in order to assure the reelection of
Mckinley.
The admission of Mr.. Butler that the Re-
pubcans expect to spend three million in
the present campaign is in effect adms-
sion that their candidate has little to COM
mend him to the people of America. When
Mr.. Hughes led the Republican forces against
President Wilson in 1915, the money barons
and trust magnates who usually support the
Republican party thought SO highly of Mr.
Hughes as a candidate that they believed he
could win with nominal and respecta BILE
campaign fund Evidently in this campaign
these same interests can see nothing in Mr..
Coolidge to really recommend him, so they
are putting out the money
But money doesn't always win in nation
al elections, as instance both of Wilson cam
paigns in which the Republicans spent twice
as much money as the Democrats only to suf-
fer defeat on election day.
1t would be absurd to suppose or even sug-
gest that any presidential campaign can be
successfully conducted without money The
Democrats have always recognized this, but
be it said to the everlasting credit of the par
ty, its leaders have never resorted to the fla
grant and extravagant use of money to cor
rupt the electorate. In the present campaign,
National Chairman Shaver and his associates.
are trying to raise funds sufficient to enable
them to conduct a legitimate campaign
along honorable and economical lines. They
comparable to that mentioned by Republican
Chairman Butler, as necessary successfully to
conduct the Coolidge campaign.
Maybe it is we'll that Mr.. Shaver and his
associates planned an economical campaign,
because thus far they have experienced great
difficulty in getting money, SO that today
they are appealing to Democrats all over the
country to send in generous contributions.
Mr.. Shaver has set 81, $685. 900 as the size OF
the chest that the party requires, and
although up to today only $500, 900 has been
subscribed, the finance committee entertainS
high hopes of raising the required sum. The
steady improvement in the political situation
regards the candidacy of John w. Davis
is stimulating deep interest among Demo
Gratis, which is being reflected in increasingly
large campaign contributions by individuals

Standard Joins
AngLO-P Persian
in LOOting Asia
By FREDERICK KUN.

tStaH Correspondent Of the Federated Press
NEW YORK.-Reports that the
Standard Oil Co. has struck a secret
bargain with the Anglo-P Persian Oil
group to thwart the Sinclair Oil in
Persia, have obliged Standard Oil Of
ticials to attempt a denial in the cur
rent issue of The Lamp, their official
organ. This statement is illuminat-
ing both in its confused stiffness
and its eloquent COMMISSIONS.
Standard Oil makes a denial, then
explains that denial, and finally
denies its explanation. In one
breath, the Standard statement saws
that it is untrue that it has become
associated with a British syndicate
for the purpose of excluding "an
American company"-meaning Sin
clair, of course-from procuring the
North Persian concessions. In a Sec
ond, rather subdued breath, the
statement recalls its "fifty-fifty''
agreement with Anglo-Persian Oil in
1921. It is admitted that this agree
ment, in part at least, is still valid.
This denial is a confirmation. 1t
substantiates the reported relations
between Standard Oil and Anglo-Per-
sian and asserts that the Persian gov
eminent had previously conceded the
northern oil fields to Anglo-Persian,
so that the Sinclair grants are in
effective. This obviously, is an is
sue to be decided by the Persian
parliament and courts.
In any case, it serves as a timely
reminder of the foreign alliance and
counter-alliance being formed by
American private interests, in which
the American government, openly or
secretly concurs. It is such commit
ments which lead to wars OF self
defense"

Open Shoppers in
NeLU Orleans Try to
FrGn1e-up Workers

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 11.-Adher-
ents of the open shop, backed by
capitalist newspapers are endeavor-
ing to send four union linemen to
the electric chair on the unsupported
confession" of Thomas Pickleheimer,
chauffeur.
His confession duplicates others in
the murder of Fred Bentley, a pri-
vate detective, who while holding a
union card, was reporting union
strike activities to the Pendleton de-
tective agency which employed him.
Pickleheimer claims that he and
Bentley were invited TO a party in
which wine, women and cards were
to be the attraction; that later he
changed his mind and lured Bentley
to a stable where he was nearly kill
ed, the job being finished outside the
city.
There is no evidence to confirm
this confession save the word of a
man who was either under the in
fiuence Of the third degree or himself
a dick employed b. a rival agency.
Those implicated deny the statement
Of Pickleheimer.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Repre-
sentatiyes of the "Big -Four" Rail-

press President Coolidge for action
on their request for "clean up" in
Alaska.
In letter to Mr. Coolidge, the
labor men said, that such an investi-
CATION will reveal conspiracy of
magnitude and ramifcations more
serious and baneful by far than the
disclosures resulting from the naval
oil investigation.
Road Victim Of Intrigue.
"Our Investigation convinces us that
the Alaskan railroad is a victim of
deliberate intrigue and conspiracy
carried on over a long period, d.
rected by influences hostile to it,
which are determined to destroy it
as government-owned railroad and
to exploit Alaska for their exclusive
benefit.
after forcing its construction
cost to excessive figures, they have
prevented tonnage development for
it, making it financial failure" the
letter added.
The investigation called for by the
labor leaders would center on the
Alaskan railroad but would include
also steamship lines and other in
dustries.
Mine Ordered Closed.
Several years ago an appropriation
Of S1,000,00O was obtained from
Congress for development Of the Ma
tanuska coal field, which if developed,
would constitute an important factor
in obtaining increased freight ton
mage on the railroad.
Former Secretary Of Interior Fall,
in May, 1922, obtained the transfer
of this mine, which was a naval re-
serve, from the navy department to
the department of the interior, by
the signing of an order by Secretary
DENLY.
Immediately after the transfer,
Fall ordered all operations in the
mine stopped. Meantime a special
board of the navy department con-

At this time the navy was using
coal from West Virginia, so the tests
were made in comparison with the
West Virginia fuel.
In its rArort, the special board said,
that the Alaskan coal was Is per cent
more efficient than the West Virginia
fuel; that the Alaskan coal developed
more horsepower, despite a lesser
tonnage.
Despite this report. the Alaskan
coal was held unsuited for navy pur-
poses.

Workers Protest
Blanket "E quail
Rights" Proposal

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Spokes-
men Of many important women's or
CARNATIONS, interested in the adj
vancement of the industrial and So
cial welfare Of women, joined in a
protest against the National Wom-
ans party proposal of blanket
"equal rights" amendment, before
the senate Judiciary committee on
Feb. 7.
Their argument was in substance
that any constitutional change which
undertook to remove discrimination
against" women in the law would be
used by reactionary courts to nullify
all of the industrial welfare legisla-
ton for women which has been so
painfully won in past years.
Spokesman for the Woman's Party
declined to accept hearing on the
day of Woodrow Wilson's funeral,
and asked for another chance to pre-
sent their case. Senator Ernst, in
the chair, announced that they had
"failed to appear" They will insist
that they be given hearing.

tBy The Federated Press)

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 11.-This
city has child welfare association,
which devotes its services free to
the poor, employing four nurses
whose time for the past few years
has been limited to maternity cases.
Many life, both of the infant and
the mother has been saved. A few
months ago funds were practically
depleted and in order to carry on
the work Miss Mary Rally, secretary
of the association, requested the New
Orleans Public Service, Inc, to allow
the nurses free transportation while
on an errand Of mercy. This COR
poration, which is employing uni
formed policemen at $7.25 day to
guard their imported scabs from the
wrath of an offended public, refused
the request.
Scab taxicab companies which not
SO long ago demanded and received
free police protection at the expense
OF the taxpayers also refused the
request. In order to carry on this
humane work four nurses have pur-
chased Ford cars on the deferred
payment plan out of their slender
incomes. The great city of New Or
leans furnishes armed police to guard
imported scabs, at the expense of
hundreds of dollars day, but has no
money to relieve the wants Of the
poor and children in distress.

Gets FiUe Years
By MIRIAM ALLEN deFORD.

(Stah Correspondent Of the Federated Press)
MENTO, Cal-After
months of postponed trail, Tom Con-
nors, secretary California General
Defense committee, has been con-
victed of Jury tampering" and SEN
fenced to five years in prison. The
charge arose from the trial of ten
men in Sacramento for criminal syn
dicalism last spring. At this time a
bill was before the California as
sembly to abolish the criminal syn
dicalism law. Connors, as part of
his official duties, circularized Cali
fornia on behalf of this bill, some Of
his printed appeals being distributed
in Sacramento. One of these fell into
the hands of juryman, who prompt
ly turned it over to the prosecution,
and Connors was arrested for At
tempting to influence the jury in the
criminal syndicalism case. The con-
viction will be appealed.
A criminal syndicalism charge
placed against Connors at the same
time resulted in an acquittal-an-
other illustration of the erratic man
ner in which the law is administered,
for Connors made no pretence of not
being member Of the /. w. W., and
that is the only ground on which over
hundred convictions have been
brought about. The present trial
took place in the court of Judge G..
0. Busick, author of the anti-I. W.
w. Injunction, who has tried nearly
all criminal syndicalism trials here,
and has repeatedly been accused of
violent prejudice.
