WHY REPUBLICAN
GOLFERS SWELL
Democrat Officer Donates
s. for NCampaign.

You have to get up early and
stay up late to beat the Republicans
when it comes to raising campaign
funds. an old timer at police head
quarters remarked as he saw
Democratic cop coming out Of the
office of Oscar Queisser, secretary to
Chief Herman F. Rikhoff
Queisser is collecting "contrlbu-
tons" for the Republican county
campaign fund from officers.
Notes were handed all Republican
cops advising them to see Queisser.
One OF the Democrats wondered
why he didn't get a notice and went
TO see Queisser. 1t is said.
The officer said when he came out
that Queisser said he didn't have TO
contribute, being a Democrat, but it
wouldn't be a bad idea for him to
donate voluntarily. The officer. it
is said. thought it not a bad idea
and now he's minus 81.

Huge profits made BY the great pro-
paganda consultations Of the employ
ing class reveal how workers both in
industry and on the farms support
those that feed them with lies. The
combined 1928 profits Of 8 Of the lead
ing propaganda trusts are shown by
income tax statistics to have reached
a grand total Of SS1,S16,6s0.
Compare this figure with the finan-
cial statement of the local paper re-
presenting the interests of the worker
7-or with the regular annual deficit
of The Federated Press which is
struggling to organize a news service
to counterfeit this profitable flood Of
lies. The contrast will show that the
workers are paying a high price for
being fooled into thinking and vot-
Ing as the bosses want while they

of funds. WINS
