bey-he at once tried to lay it on
some of his old Plentywood pals, but
we never did hear the final outcome
of the trouble. 1t seems to have been
hushed up for sometime. Bowler now
brings it out for some sort of an ex-
cuse for Sheriff Lawrence's arrest of
McDonald-whatever the connection
Is we don't know. He seems to want
somebody arrested for running joints
In Plentywood-he don't want any
Scobey joints disturbed tho, we think.
This brings US down to paragraphs
13, IA and 10, which are put in the
form of why's, or of questions. This
Is just clever way of putting some
thing over by indirection that the
asker does not care to say directly
of course all of these insinuations
are barefaced, malicious falsehoods.
We ask Burley right back, didn't he
and all of the rest of the underworld
of Daniels county to the last man
support Lawrence for sheriff at the
last election, and was not AL elected
by 19 majority, over the votes of the
decent element, while at the same
time Sheriff Salisbury was elected
sheriff of Sheridan county, in spite of
the dirty campaign put on against
him by Burley and his ilk by over
five hundred majority?
Paragraph 16 is not worth any con-
sideration here-nor II, Is or 19.
This brings US to paragraph 20. We
don't blame the Leader for wanting
the Daniels county sheriff to do his
duty. The Producers News hopes, too,
that he will soon start doing it. That
a part of his constituency that the
Leader describes intereferes with hin
IS surely to be regretted. Why don't
Al run the most despicable gang Of
crooks in the whole northwest out OF
Scobey instead of harboring then
there? or does the Leader refer to the
Onstad, Olson, Collins, O'Grady, Ben.
net, Krost outfit that inveigled A
into the arrest of Mcdonald? If so
we would suggest that ne look before
ne leaps another time, and not bitt
so easily-fOr this gang is truly very
, despicable. There are other oper
atives in Plentywood now, and W,
hope that Al will leave them alon,
and not have them identified and ar
rested ana thrown in. We hope thi
"despicable gang" wont interfer
, with these men, nor with AL doin,
his whole duty all the time.
The last paragraph, paragraph 2C
is pathetic. We are sorry tooth
public should not laugh, rather

: awful blunder!

BOWLER TWISTS

That Editor Bowler of the Daniels County Lead
er should find himself, and his famous Sheriff Al
in a very ridiculous situation after last weeks fl
asco and boomerang was inevitable.
That the Editor should have spent the whole
week thinking up something to say to square Al,
to make that ridiculous buffoOn look intelligent
and sensible, and to asfar possible neutralize
the ha ha that All is getting here and there, was,
and is, no more than Al had coming from Bowler,
and that Bowler should cook up something was
necessarily expected.
And taken all in all Burley did fairly credit
able job for AL Burleys article is a twister, al
right, but very clever and artistic twister. The
current of its logic runs into itself at both ends
and several times in the middle, such things do not
annoy Bowler, yet the cork screw convolutions of
his line of arguments, and his purely Burley line
of defense, seem to harmonic and convalute in
perfect proportion.
For the edification of our readers and to show
what can be resorted to for malicious propaganda
purposes, and to make a simple sheriff look less
simple, reproduce the Daniels County Leader
editorial in toto, and number the paragraphs on
the side for purpose of reference in answering:

Sun Fo, Minister of Communications
who also ventures into theoretical dis
cussions (read: justification of the
reactionary COUP which furnish a
splendid shield to all the dark forces
at present operating at Wuhan.
Mr.. Sun Fo who seems to have
learned mighty little from his revolu-

encouragement against the masses.
He accuses the masses of no less a
crime than''the illegal usurpatiOn of
political power" from the Kuomintang
and the Government. g. . The great
responsibility for the illegal activity
of the people O. falls upon the
shoulders of persons who are leading
the mass movement. In order to
avoid such crisis and the defeat of
the Revolution we must get rid of
the misrepresentation of the theory
of National Revolution. . - (See

INDEED the gods must laugh to hear
this self-satisfied and vainglorious
son of a great man accuse the masses
of "usurping political power" The
massesl With what contempt these
little puppets who were brought to
light by the same masses he now
despises, speak of the masses!
AS if the masses of workers and

buildings for astronomical cbserva-
items will be put up in I.en.ngrad at
the initiative and expense of the
workers. These buildings with all
their appliances will be at the dis
posal of amateur astronomers.
The main object of these beginnings
is to spread scientific knowledge
among workers, to Fight against su-
perstition and ignorance and to raise
interest in self-eau"ation.
Apart from The Organization Of a
Lig science exhibition which will bear
testimony Of the work Of Leningrad
science institutions during the last ten
wears, it is also intended to make the
opening of high volt station for the
study of high pressure currents at

THE height of confusion and learned
stupidity is reached in another
series of articles published during the
same period of preparation for the re-

Minister of Education.
Mr.. Kou throws the terrible buga-

to prove that the present actively
revolutionary labor and peasant
in China lead to Nihilism

BLACKPOOL, Eng, Oct. A.
The reformist leadership of Brit

offered by the Labor Party Con-
ference here yesterday to attack
militant workers affiliated with the
minority movement and the Com
munist Party.
In addition to attacking militant
trade unionism in the report Of

The TheOreticians of Reaction.

THERE follows a series of confusion
injections by such eloquent con-
fusionists as Wong Ching Wei, in the
form Of series of articles dealing
with the Kuomintang and the masses,
and the land problem and the class
struggle, and the U.S.S.R. and China
and capitalist countries, and every
thing under the sun except the burn
ing question whether the destruction
of the labor and peasant movements
which was going on while Mr..
Wong Ching Wei was writing his ar
ticles and pronouncing his speeches
and the wholesale executions of la
Dor and peasant leaders, were what
he, the self-styled apostle of "pure
Sun Vat Senism" considered to be
in accordance with the principles of
DR.. Sun.
1T is typical of this self-styled heir
of Sun Vat Senism that he de-
fines the National Revolution simply
as "the struggle of an oppressed peo-
pie against Imperialism" More than
that he does not see and does not
want. The social revolution does not
exist for him. The class struggle to
him isFa crime.

Want Norwegian Finn
Soviet Union Committee

MOSCOW, U.S.S.R., (By MaiD.-
The various groups Of the Norwegian
workers delegation which have been
touring a number Of U.S.S.R. dis
tricts have met again in Moscow. In
conversation with a representative Of
"Trud," the chairman of the delega-
ton, Comrade Diedrichsen said: CAN
the members Of the delegation are as
tonished at the colossal constructive
work noticeable in all spheres of So
Wet life. In the textile factories Of
the Ivanovo-V oznosensk district, in
the colossal enterprises of the DON
metz basin, in Leningrad and Moscow
institutions and enterprises we could
see for ourselves that the entire
working class is doing its utmost for
the development Of industry, in
greater productivity of labor and So
cialist construction.
In regard to future relations be-
tween the Norwegian Labor Move
ment and Soviet trade unions, Com
rade Diedrichsen said: Myself and
all the members of the delegation
think that Norwegian trade unions
should keep up close relations with
the Soviet trade union movement. The
question of the establishment of a
special organ whose business it will
be to definitely consolidate this con-
nection, lie. Of a Norwegian Finnish
Soviet Unity Committee will be de-
cided at the next congress Of the Nor
weGian trade unions"
Commenting on the news concern
ing the breakup of the Anglo Rus
sian Unity Committee by the Edin-
burgh Trade Union Congress, Com
rade Diedrichsen pointed out that this
event will certainly accelerate the uni
fication Of the revolutionary sections
of Norwegian workers.
Although in reformist ranks the
news of the severance Of relations be-
tween the General Council aand the
AUCTU might give an impetus to
Right tendencies the revolutionary
section Of Norwegian workers and
entire rank and file will no doubt feel
impelled to give whole-hearted sup
port to the Soviet trade unions.
On its return, the Norwegian dele
cation will do its utmost to inform
Norwegian workers about the life
and doings of the Russian comrades.
In conclusion Comrade Diedrichson
said:
"All of US are convinced that the
Soviet Union is the most progressive
country in regard to all spheres of
state and economic life"

RAK0VSKy RECALL.
French Play for Better
Debt Terms Suspected

PARIS, Oct. 4.-While some cir
cles are seeing the hand of the Bri-
fish oil imperialists in the reported
demand that Christian Rakovsky, the
Ambassador of the Soviet Union, be
recalled from Paris, there is a ten
dency among other groups to believe
that the report is an intrigue of the
French imperialists to obtain better
debt terms from the Soviet Union
diplomats in the negotiations now 60
ing on.
The French meanwhile have an
nounced that there has been no for
NAL demand for Ambassador Rakov-
'sky's recall. According to the state
nent of the French foreign office,
the presence of Ambassador Rakov-
sky in Paris at the present stage of
the debt negotiations, is a slight in
convenience owing to the loneliness
of certain sections of official opin-
ion. The French press anticipates
that Ambassador Rakovsky may re-
turn to Moscow in the course of the
next week, but it is careful to add
that his departure will in no way in
volve a break with the Soviet Union.
The debt negotiations which are
now proceeding between the govern
ment of the Soviet Union and the
French officials are reported to be
progressing favorably and it is not
expected that the French will permit
any rupture between the two govern
ments at this juncture.
There is, however, a rumor cur
rent in Paris that the government of
the Soviet Union regards the atti-
tude of the French officials as am
biguous, and while not resulting in
an immediate break, as carefully
prepared plot of the French die-hards
and the British oil imperialists to
wreck the progress of the debt nego-
tiations between the Soviet Union
and the French government. 1t is
pointed out that the present policies
of the French politicians are skilfully
calculated to precede an open rupture
tho at this time the French govern
ment does not wish to bear the bur-
den of such grave responsibility.

TEDDY'S ATTACK.
ON TAMMANY'S AL
MAY INJURE C. O.P.
But It May Be Strong
Red Meat for Southwest

Whether Theodore Roosevelt COM
mitted political faux pas in con-
Meeting the respectable Al. Smith
with the "red-light" leadership of
Tammany Hall, or whether his
Rochester speech is the kind of meat
the dry and protestant voters of the
south and west like to feed on is still
question to differ over.
Newspapers favorable to Smith are
publishing columns of rumors and
hints designed to convince their read
ers that high G. O. P. officials in
Washington are wishing Teddy, Jr.,
was on the top Of Teapot Dome at
the time he was engaged in the bust
ness of delivering his illumination
against Al. in Rochester. j. was
stated quite frankly, even in republi-
can organs that old and seasoned
strategists in the G. O. P. were hor-
ror strickn as the fellow Al. licked
for the governorship a few years ago
pulled out the stops on one of the
most vitriolic TRADES ever heard out
side of bawdy house.
Ready For The Carnage.
There are others, at least equally
deserving of credence, who declare
that the republican stalwarts at
Rochester licked their chops after the
forensic dish served up to them by
young Teddy and the CLEAN in their
collective eye, as they anticipated
tearing tn pope limb from limb in the
next election, was not unlike the CLINT
in the optics of a hungry hyena who
contemplates the hind part of a fat
missionary bending over a brook to
Stake his godly thirst in its cooling
waters. There will be dirty work at
the crossroads in this coming cleo
ton and Teddy Roosevelt's Rochester
speech will strengthen Pius's hold on
his American flock and may help to
bring many stray 100 per cent pro-
testant American dollars back to the
Golfers of the Ku Klux
Klan.
@AA' oli4CIl may NC given the UGDlO-
cratic nomination but his chances of
election are mighty slim. Still it will
be something for his personal pres
tige to be the first catholic ever to
receive presidential nomination
from either a democratic or republ
can convention and the fascist cath,
Ollie church will be able to hang an
other political scalp in its wigwam.
Slim Chance For Democrats.
Outside of Smith there is no out
figure in the democratic
party, with the possible exception of
Senator Reed of Missouri, with the
personality capable of dramatizing
the campaign and making issues that
do not mean thing to the masses,
seem to be matters of life and death.
But the chances of the democratic
party to win in the next election are
