The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-11-02

Fin those days we thought they were
just poor devils, and it was a shame
for the police to poke their batons
into the abdomens of the pregnant
women; we didn't realize that there
were little Bolsheviks inside these alb
domens! Some of US went out to
make speeches for the poor devils,
and get arrested with them; and as
means of overcoming the newspa-
per boycott, we got up the Paterson
Pageant, and worked day and night
over it, and bankrupted ourselves
how we'll I remember that agonized
final meeting, when Mabel Dodge
pledged her furniture to get the last
five hundred dollars! And then the
newspapers implied that somebody
had robbed the strikers of the pro-
ceeds of the show!
Well, Thompson Buchanan was our
publicity man, and worked like the
willy Ulysses to cutwit the capitalist
press. And now here he is writing
poison-propaganda for Lasky, and he
can do it so easily-all he has to do
is to turn everything upside down,
portraying it exactly the opposite of
what he knows it to be! The Tsarist
aristocrats become beautiful and
sanity and patriotic heroes; the peas
ants are well-fed and groomed like
Hollywood stars, and love their mas
tiers and pray to God for their safety;
while the Bolsheviks are monsters
with twisted and distorted faces, who
divide their time between murder and
lust-just as Thompson Buchanan OBJ
served during his work with John
Reed and Ernest Poole and Leroy
Scott and Gurley Flynn and Mabel
Dodge and Margaret Sanger and Mary
| Craig Sinclair!
Also, meet that great statesman of
letters, that strong Silent Man who
has made more speeches than any
other occupant of the White House,
outdoing Carlyle with his gospel of
silence in forty volumes. When civili-
cation was in peril, Cautious Cal Cool
idge did not hesitate, but rushed to
the rescue with series of articles,
Enemies of the Republic" published
in the "Delineator," one of the Butter
lex chain, certified circulation 2,102,-
223 women per month; also an article
in Good Housekeeping" one of the
Hearst chain, certified circulation L.

women because they were the ones
who were destined to be nationalized
by the Bolsheviks; also it pays to
carry on propaganda among women,
because they don't know any better
than to believe what you tell them.
Also that other great artist, Gen
! eral Charles G. Dawes, violin-virtuoso
and composer of melody. Fritz
kreisler edited it--but of course not
because the author is millionaire
banker, powerful enough to rob his
stockholders Of couple of hundred
thousands dollars to subsidize the
master-corruptionist Lorimer. Re
Gently Hell-and-Maria made cam
paign tour of the country, and his
progress was a tornado of MELODY
by General Charles G. Dawes" Of
course the reason why every radio
station in his path played it several
times every day was not that he was
presiding officer of the Senate, which
controls appointments to the new
radio board having power to seize all
radio stations whenever Calvin or
Charlie wish to call their political op-
ponents Bolsheviks, as during the La
Toilette campaign. Keep your eye on
Hell-and-Maria, for when American
Fascism begins its march on Wash
ington this great artist will be the
Mussolini.
