ASPSNidl 10 the lazy WoIKeEJ
ROME, Jan. 13.-The fascist
have called out their military
force of armed guards and
police to terrorize the people
and see that Mussolini's new
election law bill goes thru, by
force if necessary, as parlia-
ment is reassembling today.
The jails are still filled with Com
munists, and the agitation of the work
ers demanding their immediate re-
lease is increasing. Mussolini has un-
til today secluded himself in his
quarters here, and the fact that he
was not seen on the streets led to the
rumor of his assassination, it is said
here.
The election bill upon which Mus
solini sponsors, gives the fascist sup
porters 2 and 3 votes, and holds the
opposition followers down to one vote
a piece.

DEMOCRACY IN
ACTION EXPOSED
BY BALLOT CROOK
Schooled Boys and Men
in Election Fixing"
BY SYLVAN A. POLLAcK.
Especial to The sDailv Workerl

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-A sensation
al revelation of the workings of bour-
geois democracy in all it's nakedness
in the form of an election scandal, has
caused quite stir in this city
II has now been disclosed that Con
gressman Nathan D. Perlman, repub-
lican, was reelected over his demo-
cratic opponent. DIR. William l. Sir
ovich, by the wholesale manipulation
of votes under the direction of a pro-
fessional election fixer," George Ros-
ken, who confessed before the grand
jury that under his direction a sys-
tematic steal was carried out.
He stated that he was in charge of
many men and boys whom he trained
to assist him in the work of putting
the election of Perlman over, so the
official returns gave the congression-
al seat to Perlman by slender ma
jority of 121 votes.
Rosken described his operations as
follows:
"On election night, November 4, l
was tally clerk in the twenty-third
election district of the eighth assem-
bly, district. When the vote for gov
ernor was being polled, my aides were
secretly checking up the vote for con-
gress.
"ln this way, before the other mem
bers of the board got to the congress
count, knew that Sirowich was ahead
by about 125 votes in our district.
81 had received word that the vote
separating DR.. Sirovich and Perlman
was very close and that if 1 could
keep Sirovich's lead down to fifty
votes, Perlman would be reelected.
81 manipulated the tally sheets so
that when the clerk handling the
ballots called vote for Sirovich, /
recorded the vote for Perlman. In
this way l reduced the Sirovich ma
jority of at least 125 to As.
"My alterations thereupon showed
total vote of 225 for Sirovich and
205 for Perlman. An accurate and
honest tally would have given Siro-
vich 1926 or $50 votes and Peryman
about 140.
"If my figures do not iibe It is be-
cause here and there ! would throw
an odd vote to William KarIin, the
socialist candidate, who stood no
chance anyway.
81 had ring on my finger, specially
made, which HAD BEEN USING TO
FAKE VOTES for years. This ring
had on the side toward the palm a
pencil lead setting. used this lead
to write in about fifteen votes for
Perlman on ballots when the vote for
congressman had been left blank.
'In some cases, where a straight
democratic ticket had been cast, in
cluding a vote for DIR. Sirovich, I
would add to the ballot markings a
vote for one OF the other congress
candidates. This, Of course, would
have the effect Of voiding the vote
for Sirovich."
Rosken here demonstrated with a
pencil point concealed in the palm of
his hand how he could marx ballot
and escape detection.
He went on:
81 am not the only one that can
do this. have trained many others
in the salne trick. have a school
arodnd election time. for this sort of
thing and | have been called in as
an expert election fixer in hotly con
tested districts in Queens. Bronx and
Kings county, as well as in other dis.
tricts in Manhattan. Sometime |
would bring with me some OF my
aides whom had schooled."

Washington Refuses to

produce evidence that President Sa-
lorzano of Nicaragua wants the 100
American marines to remain in that
country, where they have been for
the past II years. Reports that the
Washington government may be Gin
duced" by Nicaragua to postpone their
withdrawal under the pledge given a
year ago are not accurate. Salorzano
and his liberal regime were chosen be-
cause they were hostile to North
American domination, either financial
or military. If the marines stay, it
vii be because Washington is unwill-

dictators. "Giolitti says he wants
democracy" said Comrade Coco. "But
he wants only to save the bourgeoisie
from the rule of the workers led by
the Communists, after Mussolini is
