Of the season here today by running
and passing the hard-fighting Texas
Tech Matadors into a % to 6 defeat,
Greater manpower largely was re,

Frogs had three full teams that play

a few substitutions.
Coach Bell started his second
string team and it battled on abou,

the second period. He then sent In

Scarlet battlers. who wilted under
the hot sun and the Purple spurted
two touchdowns ahead.
Although they failed 10 win. the
West Texans did something hat 9TH

been unable TO do all season-they

did il. In the first quarter he broke

81 yards for six points.
From the first 10 the fourth quar-
ter the T. c. u. line kept Walker

he unreeled another pretty run 81

Irish Mike Mccarthy.
Had his dauber hanging down;
For Michael hadn't had a hit.
Since the team came back to town,
In eleven long engagements,
Michael hadn't had a blow;
He was doing all the worry stuff.
That makes the gray hairs grow.
The fans were getting on him,
Which didn't help a bit;
For Mike continued daily,
To 80 without his hit.
Came then a chance for Irish Mike,
With the winning run on base;
With his team a'battling holly,
In a stormy pennant race.
A hit would mean the ball game,
DO you think that Michael famed :
Well, he didn't kid. he popped one,
Right TO the shortstop's hand.

ANTI-USSR PLOT

MOSCOW, Sept. 24.-The plot

for the overthrow of the Soviet gov

help of Polish government funds
and the cooperation of certain pow

covered by Clemeny Voroshiloff,

Soviet Union, in speech delivered
at Kiev, one of the most important
cities in Ukrainia, and the most hard
hit by the Polish counter-revolu-
tionary invasion Of 1920.
Voroshiloff pointed especially to
a speech Of the governor of the Po-
lish province of Volhynia, showing
that government officials them
selves were involved in this inter-
national movement against the Sow

Program

The United Council of Working'
Women has unanimously endorsed
the Workers (Communist) Party
program and ticket. Each city coun-
Gil has formed campaign commit
tee and has arranged discussions on
the Communist program and the
women workers.
Open-air meetings under the aus
pices of the councils have been held
in various sections. They have
pledged a minimum of $500 for the
campaign, and are now making full
preparations for an intensive drive
among working women.
According to Kate Gitlow, secre-
tary of the body, the wives of pro-
gressive needle, food, metal and
building trades workers are throw
ing themselves wholeheartedly into
the campaign.
Other Organizations Also.
Other women's organizations are
also taking action to support the

Fifteen thousand copies of this
special edition of the Daily Worker
will be given out today in mass
distribution which will take in sec
tions of New York City where the
Daily Worker has heretofore been
unknown. The entire city will be
canvassed by members of the vari-
GUS sections of the Workers (Com-

ers (Communist) League in an eff
fort to give momentum to the Daily
Worker Election Campaign Drive
for 10000 new readers.
The special edition will aid the
Workers (Communist) Party in its
election campaign and its fight to
reach the masses of workers, in ad-
dition to bringing the Daily Worker
before New York labor in its huge
drive for increased circulation.
Harlem Circulation Doubled.
Indications all point to the sue
cess of the distribution today. Last
night, similar distribution in Har-
lem, of only 1000 copies, proved
that the work of the Daily Worker
in Harlem has been well worth the
effort expended there. The circula-
tion in the district has doubled, es-
pecially among the Negro woskers,
since the drive was initiated.

Workers Party Calls
for Full Equality

That Negro workers are becom-
ing disillusioned with the republi-
can party, which poses as the friend
of the Negroes, as we'll as with the
democratic party, whose disenfran-
chisement of Negro workers in the
South is notorious, is evident by the
ready response of Negro workers of
New York to the platform of the
Workers (Communist) Party at open
air meetings held by the party of
the class struggle in such Negro
centers as Harlem, Williamsburg
and Brownsville.
Policy for Years.
The barring of Negro workers
from participating in the primaries
in Texas by the democrats, as well
as the open statement of Senator
Carter Glass, democratic, imperialist
of Virginia, that white supremacy
is too precious a thing to permit
Negroes to vote" is in line with the
open policies and practices of the
democrats since the Civil War,
Negro workers have also been
given cause to question republican
pledges by the ousting of Mrs.
Booze, Negro delegate, from an
official republican conference meet

segregation of all Negro delegates

POOR FARMERS
RALLY TO RED
ELECTION DRIVE
Big Communist Vote Is
Expected in Many
Sections
Is Sixth Farm State
Non Partisan League
Now Dead

The Foster and Gitlow nominat-
ing petitions for the state of North
Dakota have been filed in Bismarck,
the state capital, by Arthur Starr,
Workers (Communist) Party rep
resentative, and the campaign to put
the national ticket of the Party on
the ballot is completed, according
to telegram received at the head
quarters of the National Election
Campaign Committee, 43 E. 125th
St., New York City.
North Dakota is the sixth of the
great agricultural states in the
north and middle west where the
Communist ticket has been placed
on the ballot and the twenty-second
in the entire country to be placed
in the red column.
Expect Big Red Vote.
The number of states already filed
for the Workers (Communist) Par
ty exceeds by eight the total num-
Der on the ballot in 1924, the first
time the Workers (Communist)
Party took the field in a national
election campaign.
The states now on the ballot are:
North Dakota, South Dakota, Mon
tana, Iowa, Nebraska, Arizona, Kan
sas, Arkansas, New Mexico, Texas,
Tennessee, Kentucky, Maryland,
Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia,
Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jer-
sey, New Hampshire and Massachu-
sets.
Starr reports that the signers of
the Communist petitions not only
were willing to help put the Party
ticket on the ballot by signing their
names, but that they are showing
the greatest enthusiasm for the cam
paign to roll up heavy Communist
vote in the elections, bring the mes
sage of the class struggle to the
exploited farmers of the state and
help to swell the ranks of the Work
ers (Communist) Party.
Non-Partisan League Dead.
For several years the non-parti-
san league was a powerful factor
in North Dakota as well as in the
surrounding states. Under the lead
ership of Townley huge sums of
money were contributed by the
farmers, only to see the organiza-
tion drifting into the control of the
big capitalist parties, their money
squandered on wild cat schemes and
their leaders engaging in all kinds
of get-rich-quick propositions.

To NAVAL
PACT DRAWN UP
y. S. to Lay Down Law
to Europe

WASHINGTON, Sept. "a. (U.P.)
Final touches were made on the
reply the United States will make
to England and France on the So
called secret naval accord, at a pro-
tracted conference at the State De-
partment today.
Participating in the conference
were Secretary of State Kellogg
Secretary of Navy Wilbur, and Ad-
mirals Charles F. Hughes, Hilary
P. Jones and Andrew T. Long.
1t is believed the note will go to
London and Paris within 48 hours.
Kellogg will first submit it to
President Coolidge probably late
today-for his approval.
Admiral Hughes is chief of naval
operations, while Jones and Long
represented the United States at
Geneva Naval Conference last year.
These three are considered the
governments foremost technical ad-
visors on naval disarmament ques-
tions.
Secretary of State Kellogg, it is
believed, will strongly protest
against the Anglo-F French pact. The
conclusion of the pact has sharply
brought out the growing differences
between American and British i'm
perialism and exposes the hypo-
critical nature of the "peace" talk,
with which the imperialist powers
have been attempting to cloak mill
tary preparations.
Hoover is believed to have con-
ferred with Coolidge on the Anglo
French alliance when he was in
Washington.
LONDON, Sept. 24.-The Anglo
French naval pact and the expected
protest from the United States was
the chief subject before the British
Cabinet Council which met today.
The Kellogg note is expected to be
a sharp one.
Premier Baldwin who presided at
the Cabinet meeting for the first
time in seven weeks conferred with
Premier Poincare in Paris and
travelled to London with Lord Gus
hendon, who is one of the principal
authors of the agreement.
