The BrOOkhart-CumminS Contest in Iowa

notorious Watson-Parker swindle.
Railroad agents and the union Of
ficials unite in telling the railroad
workers that any interference with the
right of the companies to raise freight
and passenger rates will cause deduc-
lions in their wages and promise them
that increases in rates will result in
increased wages. Many railroad work
ers believe that sort of thing, and it
is not at all unlikely that there will
be slight, almost Insignificant, increase
in wages, which will be followed by
increased freight rates, as brides to
induce the railroad workers to support
the reactionary policies and candi-
dates Of American Imperialism.
Petty Bourgeois FutIllty.
THE powerful forces in operation in
l. Iowa to swing that middle class
state into line behind the program Of
Wall Street, which obviously is meet
ing with success with large elements
of that class, is a splendid example of
the utter futility Of the petty bourgeois
hoping to lead an effective independ-
ent political existence. In spite Of
the noticeable absence of great CAPT
talists in that state the dependency Of
the lower-middle and middle class on
trustifled industry furnishes powerful
allies who act as agents for the Mel
lon Coolidge defenders of monopohstic
capital and Imperialism.
With the continued increase of the
power of the trusts what little indie
pendent political expression the mid
die class now retains will be wiped
out as the last stone of its independ-
emit economic existence is shattered
and its members either driven into
the ranks of the working class or
forced to become mere distributing
agents for the trusts.
If Cummins, the Wall Street sena-
tor, who, like most Iowa solons, start
ed his career as a radical and "insur
gent" but soon capitulated to the
flesh pots, is defeated, 1t will be the
achievement of the farmers and those
elements of the working class of Iowa
that are not under the spell Of i'm
perialism, but who have not yet adj
vanced far enough to realize the fact
that republican insurgency" is merely
hopeless yearning for return to
the pre-monopolistic days of free COM
petition and that the only effective op-
position to the power Of Wall Street
today must come from a class party
of labor that will be able also to de-
fend the interests Of the impoverished
farmers, as well as its own interests.

Small Town Newspapers.

CPECIAL agents are employed to
~ round up the small town newspa-
pers for the Cummins camp. This is
usually accomplished thru the adver-
tising agents of the railroads, who
bride the publishers with advertise
ments for which they pay exhorbitant
rates. Many heavy mortgages on
small printing plants are lifted when
advertising contracts with railroads
are closed.
The so-called farm papers operated
by private concerns are mere adver-
Using agencies for the harvester trust,
which has also interests in many small
country banks that play an important
role in modern agricultural life. Their
mission is TO induce the farmers to
mortgage their lands in order TO OBJ
tain expensive farm machinery on the
installment plan, for which they are
expected to pay exhorbitant prices.
All OF these papers support Cummins
either directly by praising his alleged
achievements or indirectly by assail-

The Travelling Salesman.
THE so-called commercial travellers,
4 or travelling statesmen" who are
merely glorifled peddlers, roam the
state from town to town calling upon
the petty business men and repeating
the propaganda of Wall Street that is
carefully instiMed into their vacuous
heads in "salesmen's conferences" held
at the head offlce of the combine for
which they peddle. The gaping Bah
bits and yokels that operate the small
town stores listen to the propaganda
Of the statesmen and are usually con-
WINGED that unless Cummins and other
Wall Street minions remain at Wash
ington they will not be able to re-
main in business.
Most of the small business men OBJ
tain liberal credits from the concern
represented by the salesman and are
easily persuaded that their interests
are closely bound up with the desires
Of big business. They are mere dis
tributors for the trusts and are eco
nomicaHy obligated to them. Those
known to have backbone enough
openly to oppose the candidates of the
trusts suddenly find themselves denied
the liberal credits they hitherto en-
joyed and frequently have change of
political opinions after pressure has
been put upon them.
The American Legion.
TN spite OF the fact that Col. Brook
l hart is an exyservice man with a
record that ought to appeal to the
patriots, the bulk of the American Le-
gion, a purely petty bourgeois Organi-
cation in Iowa, is aganst him. Wall
Street has been particularly fortunate
in gaining influence over this element
thru the fact that Hantord McNider,
former national legion commander and
now assistant secretary Of the navy,
owns a bank at Mason City, Iowa,
which town he claims as his residence,
and utilizes his influence to line the
members of his organization up be-
