them any the less supporters of
things as they are.
The mere fact, however, that
seven republican senators were de-
feated, is in itself proof of the re-
pudiation Of the Coolidge admins
tration by large masses of voters,
mostly workers. The fact that they
merely turned to democratic candi-
dates Is only proof of the political
immaturity of these workers, not yet
conscious OF their own class inter-
ests.
Coolidge claims to be little wor-
ried over the defeat of his per
sonal friend" Senator William But
Ter, in Massachusetts That will give
the ex-senator more time, says Cal,
to devote to his pressing duties as
chairman Of the republican national
committee. Coolidge contends that
David /. Walsh won the senatorship
in Massachusetts merely as the re-
suit Of his personal popularity. This
merely bears out, of course, the
charge of the Workers (Communist)
Party that there are no differences
between Butler and Walsh, insofar
as they concern the working class,
that they are both hostile to the
interests of labor.
There would have been a different
outburst from the White House to
be sure If the seven defeated repub-
lican senators had been replaced by
the elected spokesman of a power
full Labor Party, with a few Com
munists among them. Speaker
Nicholas Longworth, of the house of
representatives, wouldn't join Cal
Coolidge in talking SO glibly of the
election results If the missing re-
publicans in the lower house of con-
gress were being replaced by class
conscious spokesman of labor. The
fact that this is not taking place
alone gives comfort to both demo-
Gratis and republicans alike, and
especially to their masters, the
American buccaneers of big bust
ness.
This is being written at Kansas
City, Missouri. The local Kansas
City Star reports that the latest re-
turns indicate that the next state
legislative will consist of democrat
tic senate (21 to 49, and of repub-
lcan house of representatives az to
73). The capitalists are not worried.
Missouri is safe. There isn't one
enemy of the capitalist social order
in the whole state legislative.
The last election, with its repudia-
ton of Coolidgeism, merely show
that the working class masses are
in action, that they are moving, aim
lessly and ignorantly to be sure, but
nevertheless, moving. 1t is the duty
of labor's Communist vanguard, the
Workers (Communist) Party to see
that labor moves in the right direc-
ton, into the labor party and not
into the blind alley of the jackass
democracy.

Masses Of Workers in
Action Must Be Turned
in the Right Direction
BY j. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

TIME White House spokesman has
l. spoken. That is, Silent Cal"
has found his voice sufficiently to
give his views on the recent cleo
tions. If Cal Coolidge believes his
own words, doubt raised by the
fact that even "strikebreaker" presi-
dents do not always permit them
selves to say what they think, but
taking it for granted that "The
Silent One" is not committing per-
jury, then we are to take it for
granted that he is very much salts
fed with last weeks results.
In fact, Coolidge is convinced, ac-
cording to the best Washington re-
ports at hand, that the republican
party actually won big nationwide
victory by again capturing a safe
majority Of the seats in the house of
representatives which, in his opin-
ion, furnished the only national test
Of party sentiment in Tuesdays cleo
tions. 1t does not seem to matter
much with Coolidge that the safe
majority" was very much diminished
in the house and completely wiped
out in the senate.
There can be only one basis for
Coolidge's brave display Of opti-
mism. 1t can only be based on
Coolidge's hope that he can con-
tinue to line up the democrats in
sufficient numbers to assure a ma
jority, even in the senate, for re-
dictionary measures. The question
then becomes not matter of the
hegemony Of the republican party in
congress, but the holding of power
in congress for the most reactionary
elements within both the republican
and democratic parties. Coolidge
has put his measures thru the Unit
ed States senate with donkey votes
before and he will not be backward
about accepting the same assistance
again for his somewhat dilapidated
elephant in Wall Streets political
zoo.
Just as the democratic senator,
Claude Swanson, from Virginia, led
the fight for the world court in the
last congressional session, so the
interests of the international finan-
ciers will be well taken care of in
the days ahead, as long as working
class voters content themselves with
displacing republican standpatters
with the stone age relics labelled
democrats"
Fat and pompous Senator Heflin,
democrat, from Alabama, may be-
come apoplectic in his heated denun-
citation Of the huge republican slush
funds in Pennsylvania and Illinois,
but the Muscle Shoals debate show
ed Hetiin the agent of the power
and public utility profteers at least
on a par with Senator-Elect Frank
L. Smith. There being less of a
struggle within the democratic party
in Alabama than there is within the
Illinois republican ranks, Helm can
afford to sell himself much cheaper
than his counterpart in the north.

Increased business in the tax exten

1t is reported that while the agents
were listening thru the key-hole be-

.LENGLEN'S VISIT 1. NOT YET APPROVED
United States Lawn Tennis As SoCiation Receives Application

New York, April cS P>-suzanne Lcnglon's proposed visit to America for 4 series of tennis, exhibitions starting in August still awaits the approval of the United States Lawn Tennis association.
 Application for permission for the French champion to engage in such matches has been made to the American officials bSfC. C. Pyle, who managed Red Oranges football tour last fall, and who recently ar ranged for Mile. Lcnglcn to como to this country under a motion pie ture contract.
 A possible obstacle to tho tour has developed in the report the French girl has decided not to play in the American women's championships at Forest Hills. Her appearance in the nationals. tennis followers say, would be considered a return of courtesy in view of the fact that several Americans including Helen Wills, the champion, are to play in the French title matches and in the British events at Wimbledon this summer
 Mile. Lenglen, however has made known her intention 10 play in both the French and Wimbledon cham rionships, where among others she will encounter Miss Wills again. A defeat in either of these tournaments might also have some affect on the French girls prospective tour of Americas
 Refusal of the T.. s. l.. T. A. to i sanction an exhibition tour would leave few new opponents for MHe Lenglen on this side, as many players under the jurisdiction of the association would be barred from playing against her, if precedent is i followed. Trouble threatened fol time during the recent indoor season when William T. Tilden. ma. tional champion and others appeared in unsanctioncd exhibitions. bu'
