Gang Warfare Has
Quoted Down Again
In Williamson County
Especial to The Daily Worker,

HERRIN, ILL.,, Nov. 16.-The threat
ened continuance of gang warfare in
Southern Illinois failed to materialize
and the weekend passed in William
son and adjoining counties with but
little to indicate the existing fractional
hatred.
One man, Claude Craig, 35, was shot
and killed near roadhouse late Satur-
day night, but authorities today said
he was not connected with either the
Skeletons or Blrgers and did not con-
meet the incident with the feud.
Craig was shot three times, twice
with a revolver through the region of
the heart and charge Of buckshot in
the right side. No one has been ar
rested and no witnesses have been
found.
The airplane which last Friday in
iected a new method of waging gang
warfare, has not been seen since it
disappeared from the region Of the
Burger roadhouse after dropping three
homemade bombs. The Birgers who
Saturday threatened. in reprisal to
wipe out the Skeletons" failed to carry
out the threat.

ware and SMITH
WILL BE OUSTED
SURVEY REVEALS
Senate Alignment Now
Against Seating

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-William
S. Ware of Pennsylvania and Frank l.,
Smith of Illinois, whose senatorial
campaigns were featured by huge ex-
penditures, will be ousted from the
senate in the SEVENTEEN congress by
an overwhelming vote, a partial poll
has revealed.
G. o. Pts Join Denis.
The poll revealed that at least II
republican senators will vote along
with virtually the entire democratic
membership of the new senate to null
lily their election. Such lineup
would result in the ousting of Ware
and Smith by two-to-one vote, as the
republican organization will have but
a single vote plurality after next
March 4.
The republican senators who are
known to oppose the seating of Ware
and Smith are: Jones, Washington;
McNary and Steiwer, Oregon; John.
son, California; Borah and Cooling,
Idaho; Norris and Howell, Nebraska;
Frazier and Nye, North Dakota; Nc
Master and Norbeck, South Dakota;
Brookhart, Iowa. Capper, Kansas; La
Toilette and Blaine, Wisconsin, and
Couzens, Michigan.
Won't condone Graft.
Not all these senators have come
out publicly in denunciation Of the
Ware and Smith campaign funds, but
those who are not as yet on record
either voted to Gust Tryman H. New
berry in 1922 for spending $195,0OO or
have told friends privately they would
not condone the Pennsylvania and iii.
nois primaries. This poll, incidentally,
does not represent the maximum anti
Ware or maximum anti-Smith strength
in the senate. A half dozen more re-
publican senators were reported ready
to vote against both men, altho not yet
committed.
Democrats Nearly Solid.
To date the democratic ranks have
remained almost solid against the two
senators-elect. The lone break came
when Senator Cole Blease, of South
Carolina, announced he would vote TO
seat both Ware and Smith on the
ground the senate had no control over
primaries in the states.
The attitude Of several prominent re-
publicans in denouncing slush funds
has done much to turn sentiment
against Ware and Smith. "Old guards
men" were shaken first when Theo-
dore Roosevelt took to the stump to
attack slush funds and their users
A far greater shock came only a few
days ago, when General John ]. Per-
shing criticized lavish use OF funds In
campaigns.
Pershing Backs Norris.
The Pershing statement, incident
ally, has given fuel to Senator George
w. Norris, insurgent leader, who cam
paigned against Ware in Pennsylvania.
Norris declared Pershing's utterance
was an endorsement of his own doc.
trine that the use of slush funds meant
auctioning off Of public Offices.

Workers Will Slap Last
In Their Struggle With
the Capitalist Politicians
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

death of Senator Albert B. Cum
minis of Iowa. There were threats
against Norris, demanding that he
be barred from this committee ap-
pointment because he went into
Pennsylvania during the recent
campaign and urged the election Of
the democrat, William B. Wilson, to
the United States senate. The pre-
dicament of the republican ''old
guard" may be judged from the fact
that 1t is,even willing to overlook
this breach of party regularity. 1t
is expected that the republican
committee on committees will meet
in few days and make it's posi-
ton clear.
1t is also declared that Senator
Charles L. McNarty, of Oregon, one
of the authors of the McNary- Hau-
gen farm relief measure that was
rejected by the Coolidge cabinet
with Mellon as chief opposition
spokesman, will be promoted to
the Craftsmanship of the senate
committee on agriculture.
Senator James Couzens, of Mich
igan, who is somewhat irregular"
at times, may become chairman Of
the committee on education and la
Dor, thus helping to spike his guns.
Norris, Frazier, McNary, Couz-
ems, and perhaps Shipsted will
hail these appointments as victor
les" for the progressives in con.
gress. They are nothing of the
kind. They are merely maneuvers
to bring insurgency under the wing
of the old guard.
The "old guard" maneuver will
help destroy the influence of these
politicians even as spokesman of
the middle class.
1t should also help unmask them
as political agents of the great
capitalists and therefore the worst
enemies of the workers.
In the days ahead the LaFollette
group will be drawn, more and
more, into the regular republican
machine. This is inevitable. But
this should act as a stimulus to-
ward the development of the
Farmer-Labor movement, not only
in Minnesota, the Dakotas, Mon
tana and Washington, but in Iowa,
Nebraska and other states as well.
The LaFollette politicians have
been slapped on the back by the
"old guard in loving approval of
what may be expected of them in
the future.
In the next election struggle
these LaFollette politicians will
again come among the workers and
farmers, in their back Shaping
stump speeding campaigns, seek
ing the votes of those they have
betrayed.
The time for the workers and
farmers to repudiate that back
Shaping, vote-seeking campaign is
now. The method is thru the build
ing of the independent political &C.
ton of the workers and farmers
thru the Labor Party. That will
be slap in the face for both the
big and little capitalist class poll
ticians. But he who slaps last
slaps best.

"A ent at Washington reports that
Senator Curtis, of Kansas, Coolidge
Mellon republican leader in the up
per house of congress, upon meet
ing Senator Lynn Frazier, of North
Dakota, a week following the recent
elections, jovially slapped the west
ern, solon on the back and address
ed him as follows:
Hello, Lynnl How are you?
I'm coming in to see you and have
a talk, before long"
This should be important news
for the workers and farmers, espec-
tally labor out in Minnesota and the
Dakotas, where the Fraziers and
nonpartisan political action consti-
tute an employing class antidote for
the Farmer-Labor Party and indie
pendent political action.
Frazier was elected on teh re-
publican ticket in North Dakota. He
was supported by what remains of
the nonpartisan league.
In Minnesota some remnants Of
the repudiated nonpartisan league
leadership in that state are trying
to lure the workers and farmers
back into the democratic party. At
the same time there are rumors
that Hendrix Shipsted, the farmer
labor senator from Minnesota, is
being urged to run as a republican
in 1928, when his term expires.
When Curtiss slapped Frazier on
the back at Washington, it was, to
some extent, verifcation of every
charge that the Coolidge administra-
ton is seeking to enmesh all the So
called insurgents in its all-inclusive
political net. There are indications
that the Coolidge cry for "Help"
will not go unheeded.
The republican "old guard" put
Frazier out on the back doorstep in
1924 when the North Dakota sena-
tor supported LaFollette. Not only
Frazier, but the whole LaFollette
outfit, stayed around that same
back doorstep making the worst
kind of racket asking to be let
back in.
The door has been gradually OPP
ening. The republicans need the
votes to keep the democrats from
coming in the front door.
The negotiations between the
"old guard" and the insurgents"
are not based on principle. It is
merely matter of jobs. If Fraz-
Ter can be prevailed on to accept
some committee Craftsmanship, then
it is felt that he will be hogtied to
the machine of the G. o. P. sufficl-
emily to maintain a working repub.
lican majority. All this win take
place next year with the assem-

Efforts to win over the 'insur-

at the rapidly approaching short
session of congress. First attempts
at modification will be made in the
