Gov. Fuller Wants to
Follow in Footsteps
Of President Coolidge

Writing to the DAILY WORKER
81 the Sacco-Vanzetti case, L. George,
New York, says in part:
/. Gov Fuller has ambition to be
president, and with his eye on Cool
idge's handling of the Boston police
strike, has sided with the forces of law
and order even if he has had to lead
justice, already blind, into ambush. It
must be a great source of satisfaction
70 him, now that his political ambi-
tions are left intact, perhaps even
furthered.
2. Was determined from the start
not to discredit Thayer, or lay the
legal machinery of Massachusetts
open to adverse criticism and ridicule.
1. Was not going to commit poll
teal suicide by renting their SEN
tenee.
If he could not grant them complete
freedom, who long since had grown so
cold and lifeless within that freedom
would have availed them nothing save
as vindication, why did he not lay
their case before the highest court of
the land, or else commute their SEN
tence, deeming, out of simple human
ity and mercy, their seven years hell
torture enough More than anything
else he should have committed their
sentence to allow for the possibility
of new facts coming to light to prove
their innocence, as they already have
in the confession of one Of the men
who belonged to the gang which did
the killing.
General Strike viii Save Sacco and
Vanzetti.
Dear Comrades:
With an aching heart l write this
letter. 1t was terrific shock to me,
to read in The DAILY WORKER,
the doom of Sacco and Vanzetti. Full
Ter has called it Justice" But l and
many other call it a cold blooded muir
der. 1t will be another "bloody-
stain" on the State of Massachusetts.
In no other case was innocence 50
effectively proved, as in Sacco and
Vanzetti.
Governor ruler is out polClcal
office hunter, and who would send
not only two innocent men to death
but even a thousand. What are hui
man beings, to men like Governor
Fuller?
Dear Workers, are we going to
stand by and see the killing in cold
blood, of our two Comrades? No, we
are not. Sacco and Vanzetti must not
die.
We have five days, from the date
of this letter. VIII you let these
precious days slip by, without collec-

HORN LIP STREETS

When the powers that are run ming things get through with nu- merous street jobs the situation will he back to normal Meanwhile, we put up with the inconyeniences and lot the evidences of progress with satisfaction.
 When the conduit-laying job which started at the Center. wcnded its ditch-like way up Court street to High. and then to West Main street, reached the latter point d critical traffic situation was created West Main and High streets is not any too wide for such interferences to easy travel, and the city authorities made q commendable effort to pre- vent ensuing traffic snarls by having 6 traffic regulator at the point dur ing the busy hours.
 Other street eruptions were eyi- dent on Chestnut street and on Cor bin avenue to West Main street, where the Connecticut Light & Pow CT company has been putting down gas mains by authority of the state. It was noticed that the automatic ditch digging apparatus, which makes a ridiculously easy job of this usually hard job, came all the way from Iowa. They have lots Of distance in Iowa and seem 10 need automatic ditch diggers in order 10 get anywhere. In New Britain the fancy contraption was q good source of mechanical education for the children in the nearby school
 When one considers the numbers of new apartments that have been erected the past summer. the in creasing total Of new homes in the outlying sections, the new sub-diyi- sions laid out, the improved streets in the outlying sections, one cannot help getting the impression that the "waning building boom" has not been waning so very much. There surely has been progress on every hand.

NERVOUSNESS IN OHIO

Why is it that the most prominent politicians of Ohio are so greatly aroused over what President Cool idge will do about the Republican nomination? There is Senator Fess, for instance; and only yesterday Representative Kearns of Ohio call cd at the White House with worry written all over his countenance and told the President that if he did not run he believed the state delegation would be instructed for Hughes.
 The trouble in Ohio is that the state law requires that delegates to the convention be instructed for a candidate. How can the delegates be instructed for Coolidge if he is not a candidate? And if he isn't, who is going to get the instructions?
 There is Representative Long worth, for instance, Q pronounced wet He has an attentive ear for the instructions; then there is Senator Willis, a dry. who also has an at tentive ear; and there is Senator Fcss who wouldn't refuse the dele gates instruction; and there is an outsider, Hughes, doubtless consid- cred fit calibre as an eNpcdient can didate if the state Republicans are too far divided to agree upon q state son. And there is Hoover in the same category.
 As We were saying, therefore the trouble In Ohio is the state law which stipulatcs definite instruc- tions. Somebody has got to be pick cd, and without Coolidge running the native son business is swampcd in a wet and dry fight. That's even worse than any other consideration.

TWO OUT OF THREE

It must be painful experience to all well-wishers Of women in poli- ties to he confronted with such a story as that emanating from AL bany, N r., which has Mrs Flor encc F. S. Knapp, former secretary Of state, as the central figure,
 Whether Mrs. Knapp was entirely 10 blame for the conduct Of the state census which is under inquiry is not yet clear at this writing; but there can be little doubt that her method of participating in this spe- cies of political buffoonery was not exactly idealistic That she was an easy victim of politicians who re- garded the census as an excellent way to deal out political pIums seems clear to observers from this distance.
 Instead of being a woman secre- tary of state who would clean up the system if she found it bad, who would stand up squarely for high ideals in otiice-as women have al ways been thought likely to do if given the prerogatives of office - she fell in with the schemes of p0li- ticians and as secretary of state was their dupc rather than their master.
 Word from Albany is to the effect that Mrs. Knapp had national poli- tical ambitions, too. Perhaps sho thought that, by working with. the political machine of which she was a member she could gain national attcntion-an ambition that plenty of men share with her, But some- how one expects a woman 10 do bet ter than this when in high office. Is the standard set too high? Or is a woman in office bound to be not much different than the average man?
 one is reminded of inc other two Instances within recent times, of women in high political office. There was Governor Ma" Ferguson of Texas, for example, who gave her state a species Of administration that yielded oceans Of unfavorabIc publicity. Her administration was ono of tho worst failures in the his tory Of the Lone Star State, or per Eaps of any other state,
 In both the Knapp and inc Fer euson episodes the old-fashionod men who have been maintaining that "woman's place is in inc home" lave had opportunities for ribald genoralizations.
 But fine administration Of Gov ornor Nellie Ross in Wyoming was the opposite of the two others. It was as idoalistic as possible, cffici- cnt in every respect. and entirely above rcproach True, she was cs- santially nome womau" having Teen elected 10 office out of cour- 1esy to thc memory Of her husband, a former governor; but the point is that when she became governor she did uct misuse her office, shc had no natural ambitions" and she conducted herself like a perfect lady and incidentally a perfect gov crnor.
