The Slaughter Of the World Court Senators

world court paved the way for the
next slaughter of the workers of the
world. When the possibilities of di-
plomatic trickery have been exhausted
within the league and the court, the
intrigue of statesmen will give way
to the dictatorial commands of gen
erals and admirals marshaling the
workers of the imperialist powers into
another gigantic slaughter the aim Of
which will be to decide which imper-
ialist power shall rule the world
Workers cannot look to the Smiths,
the> Wares for anything but bitter
enmity, nor can they expect the La
Follettes and Borahs to strive to avert
the threat of another imperialist war,
They, hike all the middle class they
serve, will vacillate and finally go over
to the side of the imperialists, con.
selling themselves with the thot that
war is required to deliver US from
European entanglements.
Only class party of labor, relent-
lessly fighting against both these old
party elements, can achieve anything
worth while for the working class. In
stead Of supporting the opposition to
the world court the labor organiza-
lions should rally to the demand of
the Workers (Communist) Party for
united labor tickets in the coming cleo
tons in order to break away from the
baneful influence of the old parties the
masses who are opposed to the vicious
Mellon-Coolidge coalition of republi-
cans and democrats and pave the way
for the definite capitalization of an
American Labor Party.

hence the defeat Of Mckinley was I'M
questionably the result of his world
court stand.
Next came Senator George Wharton
Pepper, supported by the millions Of
Mellon, with a consistent record in
support of all the Coolidge policies.
He was defeated by the notorious
BOSS" Ware of Philadelphia, an in
credibly ignorant person who had alb
solutely nothing to recommend him
except his opposition to the world
court and his espousal Of the wet
cause.
The same week that Mellon went
down to defeat, Senator Robert N.
Stanfield of Oregon, was also repudiat-
ed by the registered republican voters
of Oregon and an opponent who has
no record and is unknown outside his
own state, won the nomination.
Backed by Coolidge.
All three of these senators were sup
ported by the Coolidge administra-
ton, aitho the president refrained
from personal endorsement for fear
of the effects their Reputation at the
polls might have upon the admins
tration as a whole. The defeated sol
ons and their colleagues who face
election contests this year have been
unsparing in their criticism of Coo
lidge. They say that the Down East
Yankee president has acted the role
of an migrate by accepting their sup.
port and then refusing to come to
their aid in time of dire distress.
Rumors are rife in the capitol that
Coolidge and Mellon have decided to
change their strategy and that other
senators will have the now doubtful
benefit of open support of the admin
istration, with official endorsement OF
Coolidge. 1t is understood that Sen
ator Irvine l.. Lenrpot, who is being
challenged in Wisconsin by the LaFol-
lette forces, demanded that the white
house spokesman openly declare in ia
vor of his candidacy and that Coolidge
agreed to publicly defend him.
The only senator who supported the
world court and is sure to be returned
is Reed Smoot of Utah, whose DONNA

the dictator of political destinies in
that state. is undisputed.

This opposition to the world court
should not be mistaken for support OF

 Real Issues
 There are real issues in this campaign, and milk is not one of them," remarked the governor. Let Nlr.

SMITH BETRAYER,
 HEARST ALLEGES
Former Political Associates in
 Political Row

New York, Oct. Is LP - The political campaign in New York has begun to sizzle. Governor smith has attacked William Ran dolph Hearst, one time democratic candidate for governor and now supporter of Ogden L. Mills, the governors republican opponent, and MT. Hearst has replied.
 The governor charges Mir. Hearst with 'degrading the republican campaign to the usual Hearst level"
 Tt seems" he says, "that the fates which have decreed that in every political contest in which I take part there is the sinister fig ure of Hearst and all that he stands for in the eyes of the Amer ican public. The type of campaign is the same which Hearst employed to villfy and islander William Me Kinley, Grover Cleveland. Theodore Roosevelt, Elihu Root, Charles F. Hughes and practically every de- cent leader of both the great par ties.

 'The plan is to make an utterly baseless and unfounded charge and then keep repeating it in the hope that by constant repetition some body may begin, to believe it.

peated references to the alleged New York milk scandal by Mir. Mills led him to believe that Hearst is conducting the republican cam paign. In the milk scandap contro- versy, it was alleged that milk was allowed by bribery to be imported into Greater New York that did not measure up to health standards. Dis cussing this issue, Governor Smith said:
 The Milk Scandal
 "The milk scandal arose under the last New York city administra- tion, the continuance of which I op- posed as vigorously as MT. Hearst advocated it. Evidence sufficient to warrant indictment for wrong do- ing in the health department was first developed by Commissioner Harris, the health commissioner un- der the present city administration. The administration of the New York city health department does not come under the governor any more 'ii'''A NAiN SiA tNb4IItilso COulu De dI- tribhted to Congressman Mills be- cause he happened to be a member of the national legislature.
 When Congressman Mills asks me to send the inspectors of the state department of farms and markets to New York city, he is either ignorant of the law control- ling the administration of that de- partmcnt or is indulging in mis- representation sufficient 10 stamp him as unfit to be governor. The fact is that the governor has nothing whatever to do with the administra- ton of the state council of farms and markets. They are not respon- sible to him. In violation of the spirit if not the very letter of the constitution, a republican adminis- traitor at Albany provided for the appointment of the council by the legislature. I have repeatedly recom- mcnded to the republican legislature a change in this statute. placing the responsibility for this department of

 A substantial tax reduction at this time. besides affording great relief to the taxpayers throughout the country, removes the invitation for further republican extravasance in appropriations. The republicans are tax reduction dodgers"

Washington, Oct. 15 U9 - Re publicans were charged with being tax reduction dodgers" by Senator Harrison, democrat Mississippi, who declared yesterday the present surplus in the, treasury demands an immediate downward revision of federal taxes.
 President Coolidge, however. through his mysterious spokesman, says this cannot be done during the coming short session." the statement by the senator said

ants several weeks ago and since then has heard Supt. NJ. P. O'Brien of the sewer department, who said the sanitary sewer was clogged and after three days digging. a ten inch stake was found securely lodged in the pipe. It is believed someone threw the stake into a manhole and it fioated until 1t stuck crosswise in the pipe.
 Action on the claim of Dr. R. NJ. Clark was not taken last night, as more information relative to the fall he suffered in Central Park is desired.

 To this Mir. Hearst replies:
 T think Congressman Mills is capable of attending to Governor Smith without any assistance. Gov ernor Smith evidently thinks so too, as he Is doing his best to avoid and evade the issues which Congressman Mills has presented so powerfully. Hearst's Reply.
 'Governor Smith says I have criti- cized and abused Cleveland, McKin- ley, Root and Hughes, and he naive ly associates himself with those dis tiGguished statesmen. In the course of editorial activities I also had oc- casion to criticize Mayor Van Wycll of ice trust fame, Secretary Fall of the oil trust, Secretary Algcr of the beef trust, Ward Of the bread trust, and Baer of the coal trust. Why should not Governor Smith of milk trust repute more modestly classify AAAhi-''SAA 'ANA N4AAS isiNIOl SlOb Nlll these rascally betrayers of public confidence? That is where he better belongs"
 Governor Smith says the presence on the republican campaign train of J. E. Watson, former Hearst en- ploye and now publicity man for the republican state committee, is ''suf- ticient explanation for the conduct of Congressman sIills' campaign" The governor declared that Watson's salary in the republican organizes ton lis greater than that paid to the governor for whole years work"
 Leaves Hearst Paper.
 The New York American, in an editors note today, says that MT, Watson severed his connection with the Hearst newspaper last January.
 Governor Smiths attack on Hearst, a bitter political enemy for years was developed last night at a cam paign meeting in HornelI, N. Y, where the governor said that the re-
