If an election campaign contains
possibilities Of being conducted on a
united front basis, by supporting la
Dor candidates or establishing a la
Dor party, we must take advantage
of the local or territorial situation
in the same manner While it chang

activities remain the same, except
that they are given a much broader

that with such united front activi-

and will put forward its own pro-

Other campaigns, like those for
the protection of foreign born, for
defense of political prisoners, for re-

Mr.. Coolidge Comes to Indiana

Mr.. Coolidge considered it i'm
portant to furnish armed ''protec-
ton" to the capitalists of America
engaged in plundering Nicaragua,
Mexico and China, but did not deem
it advisable to say single word for
the protection of Negro citizens at
home. This open defiance of the
Negro electorate may have the same
results as followed In the Chicago
elections for the Negotiating Mr..
Dever.
1t is well to ask oneself what bear
ing Mr.. Coolidge's visit is calculated
to have upon local politics. Not in
vain do the Indiana Republican poll
ticians seek the visit of the president.
Republican Reverses.
The Republican Party of Indiana,
while still in control of the machine,
has suffered serious set-backs in the
last state elections. The Democratic
Party (for which we hold no brief)
registered considerable gains. It was
the only medium through which the
people could express their protest
against the corruption and the reac-
tionary, oppressive rule of the xxx.
Republican Party.
The Klan-controlled Republican
Party of Indiana was torn by an in
ternal fight, as witnessed by the
fight Of ex-dragon Stephenson, (now
imprisoned) against the xxx. frac-
ton now in control of the state
machinery; as witnessed by the fight
of Mr.. Adams, Republican Journal
list, for a public investigation of the
political corruption in the ranks of
the party; and by numerous other
signs and events that space does not
permit US to mention.
The sorely pressed Republican
Party of Indiana needs the presence
of Mr.. Coolidge in its effort to re-
establish harmony within the Re-
publican ranks for the purposes of
the approaching Presidential cleo
tions. How successful Mr.. Coolidge
will be in accomplishing this task re-
mains 10 be seen.
Spike Reactionary Guns.
If the reactionary designs of Mr..
Coolidge's visit are to be counteracted
the progressive, liberal forces of In
diana must assert themselves and
make preparations for active partici-
patton in Mr.. Coolidge's reception.
Those aIov,a ante x,ybn .+a,,J g. $500
with Nicaragua, Mexico, China and
other weaker nations, would do well
to send delegation to request Mr..
Coolidge to put into practice his
peaceful declarations and cease to in
tervene with armed forces in the af-
fairs of other peoples.
The Negro organizations should
unite with organizations of other
races in demanding that lynching
cease; that the guilty instieators be
punished, and that full rights of
citizenship be finally granted to
Negro citizens, as provided by the
constitution.
Organized Labor should demand
that the U. S. Steel Corporation be
restrained from discriminating
against union men, and that the
steel workers be not intimated in
their attempts to organize a union.
All honest elements must finally
unite in demanding that the investi-
cation into political corruption in the
State Of Indiana be conducted pub
licly, and that the results be published
to the people.
Are there people in Indiana with
vision, and with the interests Of the
people sufficiently at heart to take,
the initiative In such public action?

By B. sKLAHR.

Elaborate preparations are being
made by the republican politicians of
Lake County, Indiana for the re-
ception of President Coolidge who is
scheduled to arrive on the 18th of
this month.
This visit was planned long time
ago and the readers of The DAILY
WORKER will recollect that a dele
cation composed of prominent poll
ticians was sent to Washington
several months ago to invite the
president to come.
Playing Politics.
At that time The DAILY
WORKER pointed out the political
Importance of this invitation and its
acceptance by Mr. Coolidge. We
have stated that this is to be con-
sidered as one of the first steps in
Mr., Coolidge's campaign for re-elec-
tion and that it is no accident that
the beginning of this campaign is to
be made in the state of Indiana, one
Of the xxx. strongholds, the seat
Of the powerful U. S. Steel Corpora
tion and the hotbed of reaction.
Seeks Reactionary Support.
The political meaning of Mr.. Cool
idge's visit, as we have already poin-
ted out, is this: that in his campaign
for reelection he will not seek the
support Of the progressive, liberal
elements; but that he will seek to
base himself upon the support of the
most reactionary and corrupt ele-
ments of the electorate.
This contention is substantiated by
the presidents recent speech at the
Decoration Day ceremony. In that
speech Mr.. Coolidge reached the very
depths of hypocrisy. How could any
honest man believe Mr.. Coolidge sim
cere, when he intimated chat the
armed fist in Nicaragua was an act
of good will, peace and friendliness
towards the Nicaraguan people; that
threats and coercions and intrigues
in Mexico are likewise an expression
Of the most friendly and peaceful
feeling towards a weaker nation;
that the killing Of Chinese people, by
the armed forces of the U. S. was
prompted by the policy of peace and
respect for the sovereignty Of other
peoples?
Mr.. Coolidge's speech, yelled as it
is with declarations in favor of peace,
is in reality an appeal to the inn
perialists of America, to the capital
list interests which are seeking the
expansion Of their markets through
conquest and subsection Of weaker
nations by the force Of arms.
There is no reason to anticipate
that Mr.. Coolidge's announcements
on the occasion of his visit to Indiana
will not be in complete harmony with
his Decoration Day speech.
Negro Vote Abandoned.
1t is self understood that seeking
to mobilize the support of the mill
tarist, imperialist and all Of the re-
dictionary elements; that while cater
ing to the support of the XXX, Mr..
Coolidge definitely breaks with the
great mass of Negro voters. This
has been clear for long time. Not
on a single occasion of the numerous
outrages committed against t h e
American Negro has Mr.. Coolidge
taken a courageous stand in favor of
equal rights and opportunities for
the Negro citizen. Not once has Mr.
Coolidge used his executive power 10
interfere on behalf of the prosecuted
and martyred victims Of XXX.

discrimination.

PARIS, Sept. l. (P-Commercial airplanes eight or ten times as large as those now built are practical, says Leon Kirste, an expert. Beyond that, he believes, the laws of science will call halt.
 Kirste's calculations were present ed recently to the Academy of Sciences. He deduced that the limit of practical total weight of a fully loaded commercial airship is 55 tons. The load limit was put at little more than nine tons. He estimated the practical flying range of such plane at about 1000 miles.

There being no, just cause for the

are alleged. There is no record in
Nicaraguan history of any offense

even during anomalous times. The
Nicaraguan people are civilized, re-

Australian Labor Party Strains at States
Governors But Swallows Governor General

SYDNEY, N. S. Wat its recent
conference the Australian Labor Par
ty has come out against the system of
state governorship. "The people," it
states, twill not tolerate the exercise
of autocratic power, and a personal
veto by the governor, who is appoint
ed from abroad.
IL is expected that so long as the
labor government remains in Office
in Brisbane, (Queensland) it will not
agree to any governor being sent
from Britain.
Strangely enough, however, the con-
ference found nothing "undemocratic"
in the autocratic encouragement
who is sent from Britain to officiate
for all Australia. Indeed, the confer
ence states, that the governor-gener-
al adequately represents the imperial
connection" Why a governor for
state is "undemocratic' and why
encouragement for all Australia is
not ''undemocratic" Is something that
the militant Australian workers
would like to know. To them II seems
that the only logical demand is self
determination for Australia to the
point of separation and the entire
severance of the imperial connec-
ton"
