so this IS HOW
The SOCIALISTS
WIN ELECTION! )!
Baptize Fascist C. o. P.
Democrat as "Comrade"

PHILADELPHIA, octe S1.-The so
cialists OF Philadelphia and the state
of Pennsylvania take no chances when
they nominate candidates for office.
They mean to have them elected even
before the vote is cast and they have
discovered an ingenious way to do it,
A Fascist.
In the second assembly district the
republicans and democrats have de-
cided to throw off the mask and admit
that there is no difference between
them. SO they agreed upon a fusion
candidate IN the person Of Charles c.
A. Baldi, Jr., whose father is a leading
fascist largely CONTROLLING his young
son in matters Of political opinions
and action.
Now the socialists are not 20 be
sneezed at when it comes to ambition
to make a noise about the number of
members in Legislature or city coun-
ell. Numbers count with them.
Tho Trinity.
So they must be able to boast at
least three members OF the general
assembly this coming season. Can
they make good2 We say they can.
How do they do it2 Easy. They simply
wave their wand and nominate C. C,
A. Baldi, Jr., and the trick is done.
That's one..I
How the Trick Is Done.
In the 18th district the republicans
are in the saddle and the democrats
have not peep in. so they have
separate candidates. The republicans
nominate Samuel J. Perry and the So
cialists slide in with them for the
same man. That is easy. Now the
republicans must have one more and
so they nominate Harry Greedy. The
socialists nominate Harry Greedy.
And these are sure Of election.
So the republicans elect these two
and the fascist Bald. Jr., and the
socialists go out into the wide and
innocent world and tell the workers
chat they have three members in the
general assembly who fight the battles
of the working class.
This method of getting socialist
members elected is considered up-to-
date and nifty, whatever else it
may be.

THH labor movements of three

Great Britain and Mexico-are exert
ing q growing influence on the
American trade unions. This was
clearly seen at the Detroit conven-

left wing issues, such as world trade
union unity, recognition of the
Union of Soviet Republics and the
sending of delegates to the Union
of Soviet Republics and to Mexico,
to study the local conditions in these
two countries, became live issues be-
fore the gathering.

valley will unite with the Douglas

the scene of the road work. There
is some trouble about the proposed
highway proceeding over a certain
section of land along the west
slope and the supervisors will in
vestigate this difficulty and attempt
to straighten things out. If the
construction plans have to be altered

TOMS COMEDIANS
PRESENTING FINE
PRODUCTIONS HERE

Despite the heavy rains and the
general limitations of a tent, Toms
Comedians who are now playing reg"
ular stock company productions at
the. corner of G avenue and Ninth
street, presented a fair play entitled,
The Country Boya'i in a most COM
mendable fashion last night.
The weather, of course, kept the
attendance down, but those who went
and saw, came away happily sur
prised and pleasantly satisfied. With
but few exceptions, the company is
above the average 1t is in truth, a
travelling stock company with the
emphasis on the stock and not on
the travelling as the actors have just
come here from a 30week sojourn
in Ell Paso and announced last night
that they would play in Douglas for
two weeks instead of .one, as Origi-
nally planned.
In addition to their dramatic pro-
gram, the company presents some
appealing vaudeville numbers be-
tween the acts and also offers it's
audiences a good orchestra. And
when one goes on to record that a
clever comedian and also an appeal
ing, pretty and talented leading lady
are with the company, it is difficult
to suggest what more might be de-
sired. If it could be arranged, the
aforementioned comedian and the
feminine lead, should appear to-
gether in skit between the acts be-
fore the company departs. For from
all indications last night these two
have at least a vaudeville, if not a
legitimate stage career before them,
if they desire it and continue to act
diligently.
This evening, the comedians are to
present Harold Bell Wright's THE
Shepard of the Hills" "Wednesday

spectator a rain check which will

Portable and although it would not
be accurate to say that it was en-
tirely dry last evening, it can be
