Receives Petitions from
All Parts of County
Making Request
hackers SEE GOOD
PROSPECTS TO WIN
Will Conduct Campaign
in Newspapers Of the
.>.. County

Since the primary election there
has been heard in all parts of the
county demand that M. M. Moul-
ton consent to the use of his name
upon the ballots at the general
election. Local hackers of the cam
didacy of Mr.. Moulton, to see just
how strong this demand was, cir
culated petitions in most of the
precincts of the county the first
of the week, getting signers ask
ing Mr.. Moulton to make the race
again. In the two days TAP sign
ers were secured to the petitions
actually in the hands of the COM
mittee. And quite few of the
petitions had not been returned.
The proposition was put up to
Mr.. Moulton at meeting We'd
nesday night, showing that there
was real demand from the voters
that he run. Representatives from
other parts of the county in at
tendance at the meeting pledged
their support in the campaign,
backed as it is by the splendid list
of signers on the petitions.
In consenting Mr.. Moulton said:
"While / dislike heartily the idea
of becoming sticker candidate,
feel that the vote at the primary
was not Indicative of the choice
of the people of this county for
the office of representative. i am
greatly pleased at the number of
signers on the petitions. With that
number, and considering the petit
tions that have not been turned in
to this meeting, | feel assured of
substantial support. Of course, it
is needless for me to say that /
feel highly gratified at this evil
dence of interest on the part of
the voters and the action of my
friends and supporters in all parts
of the county"
Immediately following Mr.. Moul-
tons acceptance committee was
formed to handle the details. ID.
G. Rodgers was selected as chair
man of the executive committee
and an active educational campaign
will be launched.
This committee was of the opin-
ion that many votes were lost to
Mr.. Moulton through the state
ments and accusations that were
made by the opposition in the pri-
mary. Most of the statements were
highly misleading and many of
them contained but the germ of
the truth, according to members
of the committee. The truth will
be shown the voters on each Of
the issues that were thrust into
the campaign, with definite, de-
tailed explanation regarding each
point. Newspaper broadsides and
direct-by-mail mediums will be
used and the matter of determin-
ing the issue will be left to the
judgment of the individual voter.
| Subjects such as the soldier set
tlement deal, the irrigation charg-
Ies, the Jap question will be brought
to light from the other side of
the controversy. The matter Of
roads, of taxes, of education will
be taken up in detail. These items
are of vital interest to the voters
and the committee intends to give
the complete facts in regard to
these matters.
The details of the actual cam
Ipaign have already been started
and the opening guns will be fired
next week with broadsides in all
the newspapers of the county.

press is screaming against the for

ing them blackguardly crew."
The Bimba case is being utilized by
the federal immigration agents to stir
up deportation campaign.
Both in Chicago and Brockton the
anti-foreigner campaign was not deli
berately started as propaganda for the
restrictive legislation. In Chicago the
fight between the Barrett-Crowe and
Small factions in the republican par
ty had something to do with starting
the campaign. In Brockton a stool
pigeon employed in the Douglas Shoe
Co. laid the information against Bin
ba which led to his arrest.
But these cases have been seized
upon to stir up feeling, against the
foreign-born, and the federal govern
ment has shown a great willingness
to aid in deportation orgy In this
way propaganda is being spread for
some form of alien registration.
All workers must cooperate against
this batting of the foreign-born work

A DOZEN bills are pending in con-
"A gress which provide for register
ing, flngerprinting and spying on alien
workers who come to this country.
Elaborate measures for imprisoning
and deporting non-citizens, have been
drawn up. At the close Of this SEES
sion of congress a bill will have pass
ed binding the 100000 foreign-born
aliens in the country to their ex-
ploiters. They will be unable to take
a step without the police knowing of
it.
The purpose of this legislation is
quite clear. The Coolidge government
wants to make sure that the foreign
born workers, mostly employed in the
basic industries such as steel, min
ing and packing, will be under close
police surveillance, and thus render
it much more difficult to organize
these industries. By these means
Coolidge and Co. are striving to make
sure that the trade unions will not
be able to organize the heavy indus
tries Of the country.
Coolidge Threatens the Forelgn-born
Workers.
The Coolidge government is com
mitted to this course. Coolidge in his
presidential speech to congress, said:
g. if investigation reveals that any
considerable number (of foreign-born)
are coming here in defiance of our i'm
migration restrictions it will undoubt-
edly create the necessity for regis

The Lenin Memorial Demonstration in Moscow

DRY and the MARKHAM Interpretation of
the causes of historical change. No
such contradiction existed in point of
fact, the Communists not merely rec
ognized but emphasized the essential
role of the directing cadres of the
proletarian advance guard, the party,
as conscious elements initiating, slim
ulating and guiding the battles Of
their class. From this Lunacharsky
briefly summarized the feminist posi-
ton on the chief questions of concern
to the proletarian movement; class,
party, and leaders, discipline and
democratic Capitalization, the role of
the proletariat in the bourgeois"
revolution and in capitalist war.
Lenin's contributions to revolutionary
theory and strategy with regard to i'm
perialism, the colonial peoples, the la
Dor aristocracy, the IN. E. p" and
finally the relations to the peasantry
were outlined.
Then more attention was paid to the
former opposition theories. The 'fku-
lax" danger was recognized by the
party, he stated, but it was not over
emphasized, and those who at every
cloud across our long and difficult
road to Communism were plunged
into the panic of pessimism and de-
spair thereby showed lack of Commu-
mist tempering, The opposition charge
that the kulak was being petted was
demagogics falsehood, he stated, and
the position that the N. E. P. was
purely a retreat that had now gone
far enuf, was untrue and dangerous
especially in view of the broad semi
peasant masses who without revolu-
tionary or capitalist industrial expert
ences, were now diluting the indus
trial proletariat The demagogery of
equality" slogans, of demanding the
80 per cent proletarianization of the
party membership. of stating that the
non-party elements were playing an in
sufficient role as compared with the
peasantry-all these were fraught
with grave menace at this time. they
were left deviations from Leninism.
Biting irony was piled upon the oppo-
sition conceptions and it was called to
the attention of the audience that
every opposition in the Russian
Party Immediately wins the plaudits
of the bourgeoisie-" They were ready
to give Trotsky a crown, and now
Zinoviev is hailed as the heir ap-
parent The speech closed with an
exposition of the great need for UNI
fiinching discipline in a Communist
Party, and an undertaking adherence
to the line Of Leninism.

MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., (By Mail,

Under this title in thousands upon
thousands of factories, shops, villages,
schools and all sorts of other gather
ing places of the masses, memorial
speeches were made to the millions Of
Russian workers and peasants gath
cred on the second anniversary of
their beloved leaders, death to do
honor to his memory and take stock
of the stewardship of his heritage.

mendous gathering in the Bolshoi
Theater in Moscow under the joint
auspices of the city and district or
CARNATIONS of the Communist Party,
the Moscow Soviet, the Moscow Dis
trict Committee of the trade unions,
and the feminist Institute. The great
symphony orchestra and technical
staff of the theater aided in making
the meeting a memorable one.
Vast Ampitheater in Mourning.
The vast red and gold ampitheater
took on a sombre Tone, its glitter
dulled by beautifully arranged masses
of black crepe, yet the total effect
only heightened the pulsating power
of the massed red background, for the
moment yelled in the raiments of
mourning. The stage was hidden
from view with a special curtain on
which was painted, in semi-modern
style and with red tones predominant
ing, a heroic picture of workers adj
vancing to battle. This curtain drawn
aside, the stage was shown as a three
level platform on which was seated
the combined presidia of the organiza-
tions which had arranged the meeting.
At precisely 6:55, the hour of Len
ms death, the chairman, Uglanov, Sec
rotary of the Moscow Party Commit
tee, opened the meeting with a short
statement to the effect that this mo-
ment, two years before, was one that
the workers would never forget. The
audience rose, the myriad lights of
the great theater dimmed further and
further until only the faintest glow of
the thousands Of electric candles re-
NAMED barely aglow, and the sym
phony orchestra played the revolution
airy funeral march. A protector threw
a picture of Lenin on the rear curtain
of the stage during this whole impress
sive period.

ity of the murders took place in the
Italian colony, and most of the MUIR

The press took up the cry for the de-
portation of foreign gunner" to stop
the murders. Immediately the federal
government volunteered the services
of some of its most experienced
agents at deportation, and a deporta-
ton campaign is in full swing.
Raids, and mass arrests are now the
order of the day. The capitalist
press has taken up the cry and mil
lions of readers are daily regaled to
wild stories of the menace of foreign
ers to the peace of Chicago Natur-
ally, this creates sentiment for the
restriction of all aliens, and this is
what the Coolidge government wants
and explains why it was so ready to
aid in the Chicago campaign against

The Campaign Against the Foreign-Born Worker
b Q pCnnaanA hA FOREIGN Born ears


tration of all aliens" The violation
of immigration laws is the pretext for
registration and spy V on all foreign
born workers. The secretary of la
Dor, ]. ]. Davis, has been the fore
most advocate of registering and fin
gerprinting all foreign-born workers.
The immigration restrictions intro
duced since 1920 have been enforced
by the republican administrations.
That section of the capitalist class
which is supporting the republican
party demands that the foreign-born
be hedged around with as many re-
strictions as possible. This is deli
berate policy on the part of the big
gest exploiters in the country. They
want to accomplish the following:
/. Prevent the organization Of the
basic industries.
2. Carefully select those who come
to this country in order to keep out
radical workers.
3. Build barrier between the ma
tive and foreign-born workers to rem
der common action against the boss
es impossible.
If the great capitalists are able to
secure an army of millions of alien
workers registered, fingerprinted,
spied on by the police and discrimin-
ated against in other ways, they will
have at their disposal force to break
strikes whenever they want to- These
workers marked off by special laws
will become an army of strikebreak-
ers used AGAINST The rest of the work
