NAL and usual action of capitalist govern
ment, and exactly major part of the func-
ton for which capitalist government exists.
Ut course the judge who sent them to death,
the governor who refused to pardon them
and lied to conceal evidence, and Coolidge.
who sneeringly refused to stop the crime
OF course all of them, and the editors of the
Outlook from the very beginning that
Sacco and Vanzetti were innocent and not
hlghwaymen or murderers
The Outlook and Independent is trying to
restore confidence in the capitalist govern
ment and ruling class, so that the workers
will let the next Sacco and the next Van
zetti be murdered by the government.
But when the Outlook and Independent
says, Eve can improve this system, but we
cannot discard it, it lies in two respects.
First: We cannot improve the capitalist sys-
tenn. Second: We can discard it.
1t can be discarded only by overthrowing
the rule of the capitalist class.
1t has been done. In the Union of Social
ist Soviet Republics, it is the Fullers the
Ihayers, the Katzmans and the Coolidges
that are brought into court-into the work
ers' courts-and made to answer to working
class justice for their crimes
1t can be done.
Join the Workers Communist Party. and
start toward doing it.

Democratic Campaign Fund
Fund
$3,O65,O38

Official reports of the Democratic National
committee state that so far receipts for their
campaign fund total $3,065,038
Almost all of this money has already been
spent. Radio broadcasting alone has cost
during the last single week S63, 729 90. The
Smlth-F'or-PreSident Colored League received
$4,000; the Al Smith for President Foreign
Language League, $5,000 all only last week.
Money has been spent lavishly in all of the
forty-eight States.
Over three million dollars is a pretty bio
sum, and it is certainly the best proof of the
senselessness Of the charge put forward bv
Hoover that Al Smith or the democratic partv
has anything to do with socialism
The biggest business men of the country
have contributed to pile up the $4,000 900
campaign fund for the democratic party.
And certainly capitalists of the same size
nave contributed and are contributing to the
campaign fund OF the republican party. If
Official reports of the republican National
Campaign Committee are published, they will
very likely be a revelation of the bigness of
the sum spent for Herbert Hoover's cam
paign.
The republican and democratic parties have
millions to spend for their election campaigns,
because they are the political parties of the
rich The Workers (Communist) Party is
the political party of the poor, of the work
ing class, of the poor farmers, of the op-
pressed Negroes, and has as its sole SUPPORT
the dimes and dollars of the workers.

on the rising vitality and militancy
of the working class, and must be
kept in the scrapheap in which, by
its reactionary treacherous policy, il
places itself.
Farmer Labor Party.
The farmer-labor party, long look
ed upon as an instrument of revolt
in the hands of the masses, has
gone over to the side of reaction
Handicapped from its organization
by the non-partisan policy of the A
f. of L. and the treachery of the
local misleaders, it for some time
nevertheless retained a semblance OF
working class policies. Mr.. Ship
stead, representative to the U. S
senate has been its most consistent
enemy. He comes before us now
with record 100 per cent. 1t is
100 per cent, but not for the work
ers and farmers, as the fulsome
praise of the most reactionary CAPT
talist newspapers well show.
The final betrayal took place,
however, at the last annual farmer
labor party convention where the
Starkeys, Teighans, Cramers, Nc.
Ewens and Mahoneys consumated
their long record of vacillation and
betrayal. Shipstead had been waver-
ing between running as a republi-
can or independent when the con-
vention, in spite of the most fragrant
insults on his part, offered him the
f. l.. P. nomination on silver plate.
This against the wishes of a militant
opposition of one-third of the dele
gates present who supported William
Watkins.
Lundeen, who had been looked
upon as a spokesman of the minor
ity, entered the primary contest
against the state committee nominee
for governor, ostensibly to fight for
a clean militant party. However,
as soon as it became clear that he
had a chance of nomination he
trimmed his sails and compromised
with Shipstead.
Sail Under False Colors.
Successful in the primaries, Lun-
deem openly rated by coming out
as a supporter of Shipstead in the
general election. So complete has
been the betrayal of Lundeen that
the bureaucracy of the Railroad
Brotherhoods with Messrs. Royster
and Tilquist leading the gang), who
are against all things progressive,
are now supporting both Shipstead
and Lundeen. They do this, not be-
cause they believe these misleaders

volution, the dictatorship of the pro-
letariat, parliamentary reformism or
revolutionary action, etc.
A valuable feature of this volume
is the critical introduction by Alex
ander Trachtenberg. Beginning with
brief biographical sketch, Debs'
views on the various burning ques-
tions confronting the American la
Dor movement today and an evalua-
ton of his character as revolution
list are presented in well-informed
and authoritative manner.

1t will be remembered that the

the fascist authorities.

LAFOLLETTE TO
FORCE ACTION
THIRD TERM BILL.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8 lP)-Definite
action tomorrow by the senate on his
resolution declaring against more than
two terms for president and COM
mending President Coolidge for OBJ
servence of this precedent" will be
sought by Senator LaFollette, republi-
can of Wisconsin.
Because several administration SEN
atorS desiring to make a fight against
the resolution had speeches still in
preparation today, the Wisconsin sem
ator permitted the senate to go ahead
with other business but he will call
for a showdown tomorrow Both ad-
vocates and opponents Of the resolu-
ton believed tonight there were votes
enough to approve it but the admin
istration group will seek first to have
it sent to the judiciary committee as
proposed by Senator Bingham, repub-
hcan of Connecticut.
Senator LaFollette says he has Of
fered the resolution because powerful
factors in the republican party are
launching a movement to draft" Pres
ident Coolidge for another term. Sen
ator Bingham has declared the reso-
luton would make it impossible or
difficult to renominate and re-elect
Mr.. Coolidge" either now or in 1882.

DE LA HUERTA
GOES ON TRIAL
in u. S. COURT

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 8 H0--Adol-
TO De La Huerta, former provisional
president of the republic of Mexi-
co, and six co-defendants, went on
trial this afternoon in the court OF
United States District Judge r. j
Henninc on charges Of conspiracy
to violate the neutrality laws.
Eleven of the first 12 men called
TO the jury box were accepted. The
defense challenged one of the IL
because he owned property in
Lower California. His place was
taken by the next man called, and
the trial began.
Assistant U. s. Attorney VIM. r.
Gallagher moved that the case
against Frank Thayer, one of the
six co-defendants, be dismissed
Judge Henning consented. ThayeI
protested violently. He said that
he had been indicted by a federal
grand jury, and therefore it would
be unjust to dismiss his case with.
out trial and opportunity to be
cleared of the charge. His protests
became so vehement that Judge

sternly.
The prosecution then asked that
]. Ross Bolles be given a separate
trial. The defense objected. Judge
Henning sustained the prosecution.
Attorney Maurice Norcop, repre-
Isenting Enrique Beraceda, another
of the six, then moved that his
client be given a separate trial.
Judge Henning denied the motion.
Defendants remaining in the
present case with De La Huerta
are: Louis Gayo, Alfonso G. More
tin, Francisco Ferrez and Enrique
.Ceraceda.
A recess was then taken until 10
packing cases of evidence could be
unpacked. This evidence consists
for the most part of munitions al
legged to have been dispatched to
the Yaqui Indians who were in re-
volt against the Mexican govern
nlent and who were said to have
been associated in the plot with De
La Huerta and his associates
Three Yaqui Indians, prosecution
iWitnesses, gave interesting color to

BILL IS PUSHED
BY LAFOLLETTE

WASHINGTON Feb. A0 - The
denomination of President Coolidge
for another term was made an issue
in the senate Tuesday as Senatorial
Toilette, republican, gained right Of
way for his resolution to put the SEN
ate on record against more than two
terms for a president.
Senator LaFollette frankly stated
that he pressed his resolution because
powerful factors in the republican
party" were organizing a movement to
draft" President Coolidge.
Administration forces led by Sena-
tor Bingham, republican, Connecticut,
resisted the proposal on the grounds
that it was political gesture" aimed
to. make impossible or difficult to re-
nominate" the president. They NOV
ed to have the resolution side-tracked
to the Judiciary committee, but La
Follette succeeded in keeping it before
the senate.
Coming up at time when the SEN
ate had no unfinished business, the
resolution gained precedence and the
Wisconsin senator gave notice he
would push it to a vote this week.

WIFE
In SPOKANE IS
KIDNAPPED, FEAR

SPOKANE, Wash, Feb. 8 CP)-While
hundreds OF men combed woods and
river banks near her home and
others searched rooming houses and
hotels CT this CITY, Mrs. Floyd Brewer.
wife Of the sheriff of Spokane county,
still was missing tonight
The search of the downtown district
was conducted on the theory OF
Sheriff Brewer that a criminal, bent
on avenging some grievance against
him, had kidnapped his wife, or that
sne had been picked up as she was
taking a walk near hr home last
evening by band of drunken roist-
erers, who feared to release ;1er when
they learned her identity.
The search OF the river by possemen
and by pilots OF two national guard
airplanes followed discovery of foot
prints in the snow, believed to be
those OF Mrs. Brewer, that led to
the margin Of the stream, but which
were traced as leading away again.
Although the woman has been i'll
for some time, and was subject to
periodic dependency as a result, her
husband did not credit the possibility
that ehe might have taken her own
life.
After putting. her young daughter
to bed last night, she went for a
short walk, attired in house dres?
with a sweater and coat over it and
with a house cap on her head. The
alarm was sounded last night when
she did not return, and radio stations
here broadcast her description.

WESTERN E. OF c.
ASKS GOOD WILL
FOR ASIATICS

HONOLULU, Feb. P)-Speeches
in favor of privately owned Amer
ican merchant marine and good will
toward Asiatic peoples featured open
ing sessions today OF the western
division OF the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States. They were
heard by more than 400 delegates
from IL states OF the west and
Hawaii, Alaska and the Philippines.
Lewis E. Pierson, president of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, and Irving E. Vining, presi-
dent of the Oregon un;c OF the or
ganization, were the advocates of a
privately owned merchant marine.
The plea for good will toward the
yellow races was made by Chester
H. Rowell, writer and publicist of
San Francisco.
Consistent with it's belief THAI
government should stay out of busi.
ness" said Mr.. Pierson, the national
chamber OF commerce has declared its
opposition to government owned
merchant marine The experience OF
ten years OF government in the
shipping business has proved beyond
doubt that American business has
not that degree of confidence in
government fleet that must prevail
if American shipping is to meet COM
mercial needs in peace time and
defense needs in time OF war
"Under the pressure Of war, gov
ernment made two serious incursions
in the realm OF private business. It
took over the operation OF our rail-
read systems and it assumed the task
of building and operating a merchant
fleet.
Government operation of railroads
cost the federal taxpayer 81 O0,0O0,000
to pay its losses. In shipping, the
government spent $3,OOO,OO0,00O for
ships, and in addition to the $780,.
000,000 year the taxpayer is paying
in interest on this ship inves tment,
government operation OF the merchant
marine, since the war has netted
loss in excess of $233, 100000
Supporting the position of the
president OF the national body, Irving
E.. Vining, president of the Oregon
State Chamber OF Commerce, said:
"Our shipping board has now in
the neighbcrhood of % trade routes,
to be disposed of. Vessels on these
trade routes operated by the shipping
board or leased to private operators
will gladly be sold to private interests
at small fraction of their original
cost, according to the statement Of
Chairman O'Conncr OF the shipping
board
Urging that "good will be suosti.
tuted for things that have made for
i'll will" in dealing with the peoples
of the Far East, Chester H. Rowell
told of the barriers that had beer
raised against their immigration by
white peopled countries bordering
upon the Pacific. In return, he said, I
Asia had demanded the preservation
of the dignity of her people, in their
contacts with us in our countries, |
and the preservation of tneir indie
pendence, in our contacts With them
on their side"
The Orient, said Mr.. Howell, offered
the great market for future business,
and if the white peoples wished to
reap a harvest in the Far East, they 4
must SOW a different sort OF seed"
than they have been sowing.

''rhat it is the sense of the senate
that the precedent established by
Washington and other presidents Of
the United States in retiring from the
presidential office after their second
term has become, by universal con-
currence, a part of our republican sys-
tenn of government, and that any de-
parture from this time-honored Gus
tom would be unWise, unpatriotic and
fraught with peril to our free institu-
tions.
"That the senate commendS obserV-
ance Of this precedent by the presi-
dent"
Senator Bingham and Senator Fess
republicans, Ohio, argued that the
resolution, if adopted, would have the
force of law with the public and the
Connecticut member declared it would
make it impossible or difficult" Tor
the republicans to re-elect Mr.. Cool
idge either now or in 1882.
Arguing for the resolution, Senator
Norris, republican, Nebraska. denied
that it could be attributed as a ges-
ture toward the president because ne
had withdrawn from the race and
Senator Bruce, democrat, Maryland,
took the same view although the lat
ter did not prefer the preference in
the resolution TO be president.
Senator Watson, republican, Indiana,
wanted to know what the resolution
meant by reference to two terms and
the Wisconsin senator replied that he
took the view of President Roosevelt
that "it was the spirit and not the
letter of the law which counts"
