Chaos Threatened Nation.

THAT is the story as generally told.
and it's the story you are familiar
with. Everybody knows it. But what
everybody doesn't know, and what you
don't know, is that while the commits
sion was passing on the election cases
the danger became acute again; that
within four days of the time set by
the Constitution for the inauguration
of whoever might be decided on as
President, it was suddenly proposed
to drop the commission altogether,
have the House declare Tilden elected
and throw the whole question open to
the winds of chance-of war.
Not only was this proposed, but it
would have gone through but for the
nimble wittedness of one Democrat
who preferred to lose the presidency
for his party rather than to plunge
his country into all the unimaginable
terrors of anarchy.
%For this is what would have hap
pened. The House was heavily Demo
cratic, the Senate Republican. The
administration was Republican. The
House had agreed to the electoral COM
mission scheme. If now it were sud
denly to throw the commission over
board and declare Tilden President,
the whole Government would be torn
apart, the Republican President and
Senate on one side and the Democratic
House on the other, and within four
days the Nation would have no Presi-
dent, or rather two rival Presidents.
1t was to be supposed that in such
case the Republican President, backed
by the Regular Army, would seek to
install Hayes, and the enraged Demo.
cratic half of the country-more than
half, for Tilden had had majority
on the popular vote-would have no
choice but submission or a resort to
violence.

lieved he had been duly elected; all
set their faces against revolution, and
confronted with the choice between
revolution and legal methods did not
for a moment hesitate. At the time
all three men were accused of be-
traying their party, but they lived to
receive the plaudits of their fellow
men.

A Few Leaders Kept Cool.

"In all that has been written about
this exciting time not much has been
said about the fact that in both parties
there were conservative men who kept
their heads and remembered that not
even a presidency was worth the cost
Of divided Nation. 1t happened to
be a Democrat belonging to this sane
and statesmanlike group to whom it
was given to speak the decisive word
This was because of his official posi-
ton, for upon Randall, as Speaker
and the leader of the majority party,
fell the major responsibility. He was
the central figure in all Congress.
I'm all his moves to avert anarchy

Wood of New York and Henry Waiter
son Of Kentucky, famous and power
full as the editor of the Louisville
Courier Journal. Randall was a pro-
lection Democrat. Wood a Tammany
Brave, Watterson the parent of the
star-eyed goddess of tariff reform.

as different as they We're in economic
beliefs, but in fundamentals they were
alike. All admired Tilden and be-

KLUX BURNS CROSS, FIRES
BOMBS, BUT CROUCH SPEAKS


The K X. X. and the capitalist
press in the South are united in a
common purpose, to keep the workers
in ignorance The editor Of a local
newspaper was present when i spoke
and wrote down my remarks. The
report Of my speech was prepared for
publication, but have been informed
that the newspaper" decided it would
not be wise to let the workers Of
North Carolina know the facts I pre-
sented. But the alliance between the
newspapers" the American Legion
and the Ku KluX Khan viii not be
sufficient TO keep the Southern work
ers in ignorance and wage slavery.
The klansmen should get a lesson
from the experience Of Czarism.
Even though the X. K. K. rules the
South by terror today, it represents
but small per cent Of the people
and is hated by most workers. A real
movement to free the people from the
terror Of the "Invisable Empire"
would get the support of most
Southern workers.
The Revolutionary workers must
lead the fight against the X. K. X.
and its weapon-FEAR. We will not
be frightened by masks, bombs, and
FIERY crosses"

Plans for the Supervision" of the
Nicaraguan elections are being worked
out by the state department, according

Guardia that the ''idea which you put
forward has already suggested itself
to the department and viii certainly
receive most serious attention"
Whether or not q military man is
appointed, it is regarded as certain
that the Supervision" will be of a
nature that will ensure the election of
a Nicaraguan favorable to the inter

General Mccoy, who has had ex-
perience executing the commands of
American Imperialism in Cuba and
Mexico, has already been appointed
to plan the "preliminaries" for the

BY WILLIAM F. KRUSE.


As you ride along the seemingly
endless miles of the Murmansk rail
road through Soviet Karelia, con-
stantly repeated sight is that of lit
tie log cabins-all very new--thelr
peeled logs glazing very raw against
the green of the surrounding forest
set usually on the shore of some lake
and set in the midst of little clear
ing from which all the stumps and
stones are far from being removed.
Walking along the narrow forest
roads-mere trails most of them and
impossible for any wheeled vehicles
one gets a better closeup view.
"Kolonizatori," your Russian fellow
traveller will tell you, adding that all
this new building activity is one
year old, or at most maybe two. An
American Communist need not be at
all surprised to hear himself called
by name and addressed in as flawless
an English as anyone could expect to
hear in Minnesota or southern Him

The mystery Of English-as-she-is-
spoke in the backwoods Of Karelia is
easily cleared up. Here live large
number of Finnish families who have
taken up home e d S i'll the
Gland of forest, stone and waters"
after having spent twenty years in
some cases working in the mines, fac
tories and forests for the American
capitalist class. Not far from XII
watch, the name of the railway sta
ton about 40 miles from the capital,
which serves both the famous water
fall by that name and the great new
power project "Kondostroi," you will
find the new log homes of at least
score of these families. Aalto, Leh-
ii, Tenhunen - Anderson, Jansen,
Blum-Swede Firms, American Firms
and just plain Finns-they are cary
ing new homes and new farms out OF
the Karelian wilderness.
1t is something like the American
demonstrating which up to 1890 was
so largely instrumental in settling
our west. But there are important
differences. In America the settler
made sort of bet with the govern
ment that he could stick it out the
required number of years, the gov
ernment's local agent often being in
terested in seeing the settler lose the
bet so that some henchman might
jump the land and get the benefit of
all the back-b breaking work that had
been put in. In any event most of
the profit went to the railroad mon
opolists and land spectators, with
the farmer who did all the work on
the losing end, the government as a
matter of course aiding in the fleece
ing process.
Here in Soviet Karelia, however,
the settler is sure of the benevolent
protection of the government at all
times. The government is workers
and peasants govrnment, administer
ing a country rich in natural re-
sources and poor in human labor pow
er. So settlers are given free trans
portation from any part of the Soviet
Union, helped to locate from six to
ten dessiatins of land, given from 200
to 400 roubles to help them build
their house, freed from taxation for
ten years-including the lumber tax
of 22.40 roubles per thousand which
is the chief source Of state revenue
