Got Workers Attention.
In the drive for signatures on the
petitions for our candidates, Foster,
Gitlow and Whitney, thousands were
obtained and more thousands of
workers reached with our message
and propaganda material. The great
amount of dissatisfaction among the
workers of Los Angeles county was
brought home to our party. This is
illustrated. by the unusually high
percentage of registered voters who
declined to state party affiliation.

Red Campaign in California

The activities of the Workers
(Communist) Party in Los Angeles
and South California have been in
tensified these last few months, and
conducted on clear-cut program of
the class struggle with a fight
against imperialism and war dan
ger. This has called forth persecu-
ton by the hounds of capitalist-im-
perialism in the shape of arrests and
raids upon homes of Party and
Young Worker League members. In
the eight days ending October Is,
there were ten arrests. Six, at pres
ent writing, are either still in Jail
held for heavy bail or released on
bond to the Bureau of immigration.
South California, with Los An
geles as it's center, is home of fl
nancial power, of chauvinism, mill
tarism, patrioteering, open shop ex-
ploitation, republican administered
democracy" and class justice. 1t is
the home of extensive propaganda
for the power trust, and attempted
suppression of workers class strug-
gle propaganda. The Communist
Party stands out ever so sharply
as the only clear-visioned leader of
the working class, fighting against
all illusions, against capitalism, ex-
posing social reformism and all
forms of ss-collaboration.
Professional Patriots Excited.
The latest bulletin of the Better
American Federation devotes it's en-

Party picnic held Sept. %, at which

Rose killed the priest, perhaps acci-

The Rev. de Simone and Rose,

bullets were in the churchman's
body, and one had pierced the temple
Of the peddler.
The theory Of the priests acci-

by the fact Rose was . member Of
his church and close friend. It
was thought he may have confessed
contemplating suicide to the priest
and that . scuffle for possession Of
the gun followed, during which it
was discharged.
In opposition to the homicide
suicide theory were several appar-

approval today . tentative schedule
for his one-day visit to New York
city on October 22, when he will de-
liver the fourth and last Of his set
campaign addresses in the eastern
section Of the country.

liver at least one major address. He
has stated that he will not add to
his eastern itinerary. His last days
here will be devoted to final direc-
tions for the closing drives in the

Some disturbing reports have
come in from the northwestern

understanding that Hoover has been
urged by some Of his advisers to
make . personal visit to that terri
tory during his trip home to vote,
speaking preferably at the twin
cities Of Minnesota. Others suggest
that he make st. Louis the principal
point Of call, but the nominee is

HOMICIDE SAYS WALKER

New York, Oct. 9-(AP)-City
and federal authorities joined today
in seeking the source Of the poison
liquor that in three days has taken
50 lives.
Acting under orders from Police
Commissioner Warren, police raided
Is alleged speakeasies on the lower
east side where most Of the deaths
occurred. Samples Of the seized
liquor were sent to the city toxicolo-
gist for analysis and the owner or
person In charge Of each place ar
rested.
A specially qualified investigator
with . picked squad was sent out by
Major Maurice Campbell, federal
prohibition administrator for this
district, to cooperate with the police.
Mayor Walker issued orders that
those responsible for the poison IL
quor be apprehended and prosecuted.
He declared its distribution is more
than . violation Of the Volstead Act
and amounts to homicide.
Meanwhile the bodies continued to
pile up at the morgue where autop-
sizes Of 10 Of the dead had shown
that death was caused by drinking
wood or denatured alcohol. ).
Some Of the prohibition agents
viewed the exceptional death toll %
the first results Of their efforts to
dry up New York, the drive causing
the lower class speakeasies to "cut"
their drinks with denatured alcohol
which had not been properly treated
to remove the poison.
The three-day toll in the city sur
passed the annual death toll from
poison liquor for all but two years
since the prohibition law went into
effect.
