Stain Answers Opposition
Speech Made Before the Union Party Executive

the Central Committee and the Party
are afraid of the truth. This is not
only untrue but absurd.
Verbatim reports of the Plenary
Sessions of the Central Committee
and Control Commission are printed
and sent out to Party members in
thousands of copies. They contain
both the speeches of the Opposition
and of those who support the Party
policy. If we feared the truth we
would not distribute them
In October, 1926, when the OPPOSE
ton leaders asserted that we were
hiding their program from the Party,
ETC., they popped up at various fac
tory group meetings in Moscow, but
the Communist workers gave them
such hiding that they were. COM
PEELED to flee from the field of battle.
Although for the last three or four
months there had been full discus
sions at all meetings, and counter
theses have been put forward at any
meeting where a single Opposition
member is present, Trotsky and Tin
oviev have not dared to come for
ward and speak
But the main reason why the Cen
trail Committee did not print the OPP
position program" was that it had
not the right to legalize the Trotsky
fraction or fractional groupings in
general. In drawing up it's program
and publishing it the Opposition
broke the decision of the Tenth Con-
gress. The Tenth Congress resolu-
ton drafted by Lenin states that the
Congress Immediately dissolve any
groups formed on the basis of
some program or other" and that the
"non-fulfillment of such a decision
would incur immediate expulsion from
the Party"
If we printed the Opposition pro-
gram we would thus be helping the
organization of groups and fractions.
Furthermore, comrades, tho O~-~e'
ton program" contains such calum-
MES against our Party that if we pup
lished them it would cause irrepara-
bic harm to our Party and State. If
Trotsky and Zinoviev give false in
formation to our imperialist enemies
about alleged readiness to pay debts,
etc, it would obviously only harm the
workers of the Union of Soviet So
cialist Republics and be of advantage
to the imperialists of all countries. |
ask you: Could we print such stuff
in our press?
These are the considerations that
compelled us not to print the OPPOSE

Communists, cannot be allowed on the
part of the general secretary.
L do not deny that I ain rough with
those who try to split the Party. But
after the Thirteenth Congress, when
l asked to be released from the post
of general secretary, all comrades, in
Guiding Trotsky, Kameneff, and Tin
oviev, unanimously made me remain.
A year later again asked for re-
lease, but the Plenum obliged me to
remain at my post.
If the Opposition thinks it can use
Lenin's "will' as a trump card they
will find it comes back and hits the
Opposition much harder, for it is a
fact that Lenin here accuses Trotsky
of non-Bolshevism and states that the
errors of Kameneff and Zinoviev at
the time of the October revolution
were no mere chance.
This means that Trotsky, Zinoviev
and Kameneff cannot be trusted poll
tically, whereas the roughness of
Stain cannot be called a political
shortening.

=. Some Minor Questions.

COMRADES: First of all in refer
" ence to the personal factor. You
have heard here how the Opposition
lists have spared no effort to black
guard Stain.
1 am not at all surprised, comrades.
Why, at one time, Trotsky wrote that
Lenin was a professional eXploiter of
al the backwardness in the Russian
labor movement, and if he can write
such unceremonious things about the
great Lenin, whose boot he is not fit
o lick, it is not surprising, in fact, l
,hink it an honor, that the Opposition
should direct it's hate against Stain.
The Opposition has moaned great
leal about the Central Committee
having hidden" Lenin's will. 1t has
already been many times proven that
his Twill" was addressed to the Thir-
oeenth Party Congress, which unani-
nously decided not to publish it, in
accordance with Lenin's own desires.
Furthermore, TrOtsky himself, in
an article disavowing the renegade
Max Eastman. wrote that sit is calum-
ny against the Central Committee of
our Party to talk about hiding Lenin's
win"
They say that in this "will'' Com
rade Lenin asked the Congress to
consider the question of replacing
Stain as general secretary. That is
true, comrades; in fact, can read you

MURDER CASE
DEEP PUZZLE
Luke S. May Making Sc
cOnd Investigation of
New Evidence

Developments in the Suson mur-
der case during the past week
have been few. New evidence,
gathered at the Suson home. by
Prosecutor Beardsley, has been
sent to Luke S. May, criminologist
and until his report has been re-
ceived little action can be taken.
Mrs. Suson and Frank Posic,
who are still being held on an open
charge, have employed an attor-
ney from Tacoma and are prepar-
ing a defense. Unless the prose-
cutor files charge soon against
one or the other or both of the
suspects, their attorney intimates
he will apply fop writ of habeas
corpus.
Beardsley did not see fit to dis
close just what articles he had
forwarded to May for inspection
or what form Mays examination
was to be. 1t is believed that
there will probably be another
chemical test of blood stains found
on clothing or possibly farm inn
plements. After this second re-
port is obtained from May, Boards
ley believes he will be able to en-
ter formal charge against Mrs.
Suson and also be in a position
to further detain Posic as ma
terial witness.
The examination Luke May is
now conducting in his Seattle lab
oratores is the second he has been
asked to make in this particular
case. Shortly after the murder
was committed Mr.. May made a
trip to Kennewick and went over
the case carefully with Mr.. Boards
ley. At this time he gathered sew
eral exhibits which he analyzed
and upon which he has submitted
a report to the prosecutor. What
this report was, or exactly what
articles he examined is unknown;
what articles he is now working on
or what the prosecutor expects to
find are also unknown.
Luke May is widely known on
the Pacific coast as a criminol-
ogist of extraordinary ability. He
has been instrumental in solving
many battling murder cases, per-
haps the most notorious of which
was the Gaines murder of Seattle,
hence whatever his report may
prove to be, it is sure to have con-
siderable weight in any court pro-
ceedings.
Prosecutor George Beardsley to-
day reaffirmed his belief that he
was on the right track and that
his previous Judgment that Susan
was killed by either his wife or
son-in-law was correct.

r. F. D. EXTENSION

A telegram from Representative
John w. Summers has been re-
ceived by Postmaster Shanafelt,
announcing that the post office
department had authorized anoth-
er extension to route No. J.. eff
fective October 1st. Under this
new extension the carrier will
leave the present route just east
of the S., P. & S. depot, running
north to the Columbia river, thence
along the river and west to the
paved highway (Avenue Co and
thence along Avenue C to the cor
ner of Washington street and Av-
enue C, connecting with the city
delivery limits at that place. This
will give free delivery service to
an additional twelve families and
this extension has been anxiously
awaited by the residents of the
section affected.

SOUNDED SUSPICIOUS

The editor of the Granger paper
last week printed an editorial say
ing if the Benton County prose
cutor or sheriff would but ride by
the plant of Church Mfg. Co. on
top of a freight train they could
see large still in operation. No
one was worried much about such
a startling charge except the sher-
iff at Yakima. The more he thot
about it the more astonishing it
seemed until he was moved to call
Chet MCGEE on the telephone and
make direct inquiry. Chet con-
firmed the report that a huge still,
two of them in fact, were operat-
ing ten hours a day, but added
what the sly publisher at Granger
had seen fit to conceal, that the
product of the still was pepper
mint.

.PASCO PLANS
FAIR SPECIAL.
Neighbor Town will Char
ter Whole Train for
Kennewick Visit

With flags flying, drums throb-
bing, the band playing and Leaping
Lena, the alterated flivver of Al
Smiths humping the pavement
gleefully, the Kennewick CONNER
cial club, attired in 5-gallon straw
hats, la Cal Coolidge-that is,
about % members, journeyed to
Pasco Wednesday noon on spec
ial quest-to induce the Pasco peo-
pie to join with Kennewick in the
Fair celebration on Sept. 9 and
10. Whoa! Whoal We forgot
something! Leaping Lena blew a
fuse plug or something just be-
fore the caravan got to the bridge
so the ancient vehicle, tho it con-
tiued to buck violently, had to be
abandoned.
But the big idea to be put over
in this story is that the Kennewick
diplomats were successful. Altho
the band of local business men met
with serious competition at the
Pasco luncheon in the form of a
group of state officials who were
campaigning for state parks, they
were able to get their little talks
about the fair across nicely. So
well was the job done, in fact, that
the Pasco men are all popped up
over the idea and promised to see
about a special train-a Fair Spec
ial, mind you-to bring the host
of visitors over for the main ac-
tivity Saturday evening.
Phil G. Warnock was the man
selected by the club to extend the
official invitation to Pasco. This
grave duty Phil accomplished with
excellent courtesy and tact. He
pointed out what the Kennewick
Fair a ssociation was trying to do,
in the present and in the future,
and that the two days this year
were set, aside for festivity and
fun. Phil requested that the Pasco
citizens come over with an ami
able, friendly mood, ready to rub
shoulders with the people from
this side of the river and ready
to join in the carnival spirit which
should dominate the occasion.
The expedition to Pasco was ar
ranged by the Commercial club in
order to advertise the Fair. The
Pasco club showed hearty Spirit
of helpfulness and cooperation in
their expressions of willingness to
join with our city in the two-day
celebration. Pasco, the CONNER
cal club feels assured, will do all
in her power to make the coming
Fair go over big.

NEW WELL is
GASSER NOW
Product will Probably be
Piped Now that Field
has Been Proven

Considerable excitement was
..used around Kennewick last Fri
Sev when a report was circulated
AT the big new gas well was
.bout to be Drought in" In fact,
.ditors Of the valley papers were
invited to be present to witness
the event.
Mrs. h. James, manager for the
WaIla Walla Gas, Oil & Pipe Line
.ompany. came over from Tacoma
isst night on her way to the well.
Che stated that while the new we'll
vas about to the depth where gas
vas likely to be encountered, by
last Friday, the announcement that
g,s had been struck was wholly
Unauthorized.
However, on Monday of this
veek the driIlers did encounter
! gas flow. BY Wednesday night
With but half a days further drill
mo. the flow had increased sub
stsntialIy, according to Mrs. James
Who returned from the field this
morning.
Mrs. James says that the flow
of gas from this big we'll is grad
ually increasing as the drill pene-
rates the structure and that it is
Of a somewhat different quality
from that secured from the other
wells. Just what this signifies she
vas unable to state, but it is
thought that from the structure
and the better position on the
dome, that the possibilities for
striking oil are greatly increased.
The well, which started as a
fourteen inch hole, has been re-
duced until it is only nine inches
It the present depth, some eight
hundred feet. 1t is thought that
L will be possible to drill another
eight hundred feet or so before
taking another reduction.
The results from the new well
we're so gratifying that stock
holders meeting was held in Walla
walla today to go further into the
matter of piping the gas from the
feld which now is proven to the
ntisfaction of everyone. Arrange
nents are also being made for con-
fnuing the drilling in the big
new we'll until oil has been struck,
according to Mrs. James.
