ONE needs only to cite the history

appeal of the central committee of
the c. P. of Germany on the death of
Ebert as an occasion for prohibiting
the Rote Fahne and a whole number
of our provincial newspapers. 1t was
intended by this means to suppress
the voice of the proletarian party in
the approaching struggle. This meas
ure created the greatest indignation
and bitterness among the working
class.
The Berlin workers sent such a
number Of factory delegations to
plague the social democratic police
minister, Severing, that after a few
days he was compelled to withdraw
the prohibition of the Rote Fahne.
I'VE regard this as favorable aug

TNHERE existed no two opinions in
the Communist Party of Germany
with regard to the questions Of partici-
patton in the presidential election. 1t
was clear to us right from the outset
that we must participate in this cleo
ton, just as in every parliamentary
election, with a candidate of our own.
We were the first of all the parties
to announce candidate. The bour-
this question weeks before Ebert's
death, and IN to the time Of writing
have not yet come to an agreement.
For the c. P. of Germany the ques-
ton was decided in few minutes.
How correct this speedy decision
and its prompt announcement was, is
shown by the confusion which this
news created in the camp of the so
cial-democratic party. There the
news that we had come forward with
a workers candidate, the only posi-
BILE workers candidate in the presi-
Dental election, had the effect of a
bomb-shell.
TT is an open secret that the social
4 democratic party executive was
determined to bring about an agree
ment with the other reichsbanner par
ties as to a so-called republican"
candidate, and in this connection the
former reich-chancellor, Marx was
mentioned. But the Barmat execu.
tive did not manage to carry thru this
proposal at the session of the national
council of the party. The district rep.
resentatives, it appears, pointed out
the difficulty there would be in con-
vincing the social-democratic workers
that they should not vote for a work
ers' candidate but for a bourgeois
candidate
1t was in view of the competition
Of the Communist candidate that it
was decided to put forward Otto Braun,
the former Prussian premier, as can
didate Of the social-democratic party.
THIS decision has created the great
4 est excitement in the ranks of the
black-red-yellow republicans. The ma
tional president of the reichsbanner,
the socialdemocrat Horsing, was dis
patched to Berlin by the national exc
cutive in order to bring his social col
leagues to reason. Haenisch, another
social democrat, regretfully admitted

Economy Program.

1t is rumoreG that the recent

vetoing the Chippewa Jurisdiction

desire Of the president to follow

that if President Coolidge wishes
to go to the extent of including the
Indians in his plans for economy,
he has an excellent opportunity for
his endeavors in the Indian Bu-

ninety per cent of whom are of no
benefit whatever to the Indians and
whose positions are sincere. If

that it would be more in the keep.

physician here, to the Indian
tuberculosis sanatorium at Leech
Lake. Just where this action

wherever it came from it is not
welcome here. DR. Abbott came
here about a year ago, and by his
careful attention to his duties, his
untiring devotion to those duties
and his ability as a physician has
won the respect Of all, and his re-
moval at this time is not in keeping
with good judgement or with the
desire OF the Chippewa people.
DR.. Abbott is man high up in his
profession and possesses all the
characteristics desired in first class
physician and that is liked by all
who meet him.
A petition is being circulated
among the Chippewa people urging

most literally signed. 1t is hoped
that this petition will have the de.
