PROGRESSIVES IN
MICHIGAN WORRY
c. O.P.LEADERS
Wheeler Draws Large and
Enthusiastic Crowds in
Industrial Cities.
BY LOWELL MELLETT
Times STAFF Correspondent

LANSING. Mich, Oct. 2S.-A
month or more ago the Republican
managers confidently announced
they had Michigan tucked safely
away in their pockets. Today they
are franticalIy searching through
their pockets TO make sure they still
have II.
Headed by Governor Grosebeck,
the party's best vote getters are en-
gagged in a final thorough canvass of
the State for Coolidge. Nobody ad-
mits there is any danger. but they
are working hard 10 convince them
selves.
The same situation seems in
dicated in Michigan that is found in
many Other States. Early in the
campaign when It became apparent
La Toilette would run second, at
least, there was great alarm. Then.
when even with vote of that size in
sight. there Fere few evidences Of
great activity on the part of the La
Toilette followers and even less evil
dence or organization comparable to
the old party organizations the
alarm subsidized. Confidence on Cool
idge's ability to swing the State re-
turned and only this last week has
this confidence been lessened.
Meetings Large
The La Toilette meetings were
partly responsible. The Wheeler
meetings may cause some further
worry, since he was booked for such
cities as Jackson. Flint and Saginaw
and Lansing, regarded as among the
least friendly in the Site. and he has
drawn large and demonstrtive au-
diences.
Wheeler. in his Lansing speech,
touched on one element in the cam
paign that will help TO explain what
has happened, in case expectations
Of Republican managers are upset.
Greater part Of the progressive votes
in the coming election. he said. were
made long before the present cam
paign began. II is the elimination
of years OF progressive agitation &C
centuated by general resentment
against conditions exposed in Wash
ington during the past three and
One-hah years, he argued.
There IS reason TO believe that Re
publican confidence in Michigan
rests pretty close to the surface.

MICHIGAN STATE
ANXIOUS TOKEEP
W.P. OFF BALLOT
Did Not Rely on Its
Local Talent
BY CYRIL LAMRkIN.


DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 20.-As an
the case Of Berrien county against
the Bridgeman defendants so in the
case of the Workers Party against the
election commission Of Wayne county,
the state of Michigan did not rely on
the county attorneys, but took hand
itself to defeat the effort of the party
to go before the workers Of Michigan
thru the ballot. 1t sent an assistant
Encouragement of the state to rep
resent it in court.
The State Got Busy
Counsel for the party Immediately
ON being notified that its ticket was
ruled off the ballot started mandamus
proceedings from the court directing
the Wayne county election commits
sion to show cause why the party tick
ct should not be put back on the bal
lot.
Saturday morning the time the or.
der was made returnable, Clare Retain,
assistant encouragement appeared
in court and denied that there was such
thing as the Workers Party, that
the party ever held state conven-
ton, that it ever elected a state com.
mittee, or that it adopted vignette.
The attorney for the party, of
course, would not permit the state
to dispose of the case without touch
ing the real issue of using the law to
keep the ticket of workers revolu.
tionary party off the ballot. On his
motion an adjournment was granted
until Monday afternoon to prove the
facts denied by the state.
A Visiting Judge.
The case came before Judge Carr.
Judge of the circuit court for the
county Of Ingham in which is situat-
ed the capital of the state, Lansing.
Judge Carr came as a visiting Judge
to Wayne county about the time we
were ruled off the ballot. Because
Wayne county has not enough judges
to take care of all the cases in that
county, the principal city Of which is
Detroit, and because judges in many
of the smaller circuits have not
enough to do law was passed pro-
viding for such judges to hear cases
in Wayne county. It is a strange CO.
incidence that the case of our party
against the election commission should
come before this outside judge.

Official Report
Says Trade with
Russia Increases


NEW YORK.-A favorable balance
Of trade amounting to 59,991,000 is
shown by the latest official figures for
the foreign trade of Russia for the
period January June 1, 1924. I'M
ports of materials for industrial and
manufacturing purposes have in
creased in Russia, while exports con-
tinue to be chiefly foodstuffs, raw
materials, and OIL
With Great Britain, the United
States, Sweden, Norway, China, Per
STA, Austria, Australia and Czechoslo-
vakia, imports into Russia exceeded
exports. With Germany, France,
Italy, and other countries the exports
from Russia were in excess.
The volume of trade between the
United States and Russia during the
period has increased both in absolute
figures and in percentage. Imports
of cotton, food products, leather. tan
ming materials, machines and ap-
paratus, machine parts, automobiles
and metal manufactures came to Rus
STA largely from the United States. Elk
ports to the United States were furs,
manganese ore, caviar, seeds, medical
herbs, timber materials, and small
quantities Of manufactured goods.

LAFOLLETTE IN
K. c. With HIS
BOBCAT CIRCUS
Dozen College Kids Out
to See Parade
lspeeIaI 70 rhe paIIy workerl


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 20.
The circus has come to town!
To work up the crowd a pro-
fessionaI cheer leader and pep
per-up was hired who drilled
them over and over again in
"Onward, Christian SoIdiers!"
Then a huge flag was unrolled
and a dozen college guys on the
stage gave some rah-rah yells!
The chairman talked for twenty
minutes on the wicked sugar barons,
who rob every family in America of
$50 yer. The ghost of Spreckles ap-
peared and cried in anguish: Don't
bite the hand that's feeding you" He
solicited donations for "our incor-
ruptible champion" Branch So Of the
Workmen's Circle (who refused to
give a cent to the Paterson strikers)
gave $25 for honest government"
Much regret was expressed that the
lone official of the scab carpenters
had gone south with the funds so that
no help could be looked for from that
source. Our old friend Tim O'Neil,
who collected land kept contribu-
lions for the farmer-labor party last
spring, bolted to LaFollette and was
then kicked out by Boob LaFollete,
Jr., is back on the band wagon. His
price originally was the governorship.
They convinced him that his third
grade English was a bar to any Office
above the sheriff's. He came down to
that. He runs scab restaurant and
uses rat-printing. His assessment had
been gouged out of him in advance
evidently-he made no sound!
Then the Big Noise arrived. He
droned on for half an hour about the
heroic age, the Epic of the Conquest
of the Great West In those splen-
did days men lived out their lives in
happy prosperity. The trust appeared
He then shoveled off ten minutes of
bull on that splendidly statesmanlike-
Sherman Antitrust law. The en-
forcement of that will bring back pro-
sperity to our merchants, bankers,
manufacturers and-as an afterthotl-
workers and farmers. His "construc-
tive suggestions" included peace on
Earth, God viii to Men" but left out
both the Resurrection of the Dead"
and the Second Coming of Christ"
He advocated everything else-tifty
seven separate, distinct and num-
bered panaceas!
His route from X. c. is west to the
Coast. Comrades in the western towns
are advised to get several hundred
copies of the Daily for free distribu-
ton and a hundred copies of the La
Toilette Illusion" by Lovestone to sell.

The trial will take place in the

mated industrially by the big

Fourth to Face Trial
Berg will be the fourth man to go

publication in certain newspapers Of
boycott notices appealing to the work

center.
The boycott followed the refusal OF
the Y. M. c. A. and other lodging
houses to sell lodging to a group OF
lumberjacks who were attempting to
organize their fellows, When the men
could not get roms for the night in
town they went into a neighboring
lumber camp for the night, later re.
turning with a large group to test
their right to stay in the town and do
union business. The business men re-
taliated by organizing a mob and
driving them out Of town.
The deportees then began boycott

published in papers put out by the
