Progressive capitalism VS.. pro-
gressive socialism. That is the issue
for labor in the campaign. 1t will
persist with increasing vitality thru
many succeeding campaigns after the
prohibition and religious side issues
introduced by Smiths candidacy have
subdued. 1t means that unless the
voters are completely stupefied into
believing in the fake struggle be-
tween 2 capitalist parties party of
socialism will eventually challenge
republican leadership.
A vote for Smith and the demo-
cratic party in the present campaign
means vote for the continued con-
fusion of the electorate on the basic
issue. The liberal press of the coun-
try appears to have been misled by
Smiths catch phrases. Capitalist
strategy has again been to much for
these wouldbe progressives.
Hoover stands prominently as The
leader of progressive capitalism. Com
parison of his speeches with those of
Al Smith reveals this. Hoover has a
keen understanding of capitalist evo-
luton, that is noticeably lacking in
Smith. Hoover, in fact, represents
the class which is slowly taking over
the reins of government from the
merchant capitalist class which shout
dered out the fe1dal aristocracy.
Hoover's class is filtering into the
older aristocracy Of inherited bust
ness wealth. AS it gains executive
positions it relegates the hereditary

Now the election is over-we have complete set

down to Justice of the Peace. of these officers

And along about January first, all of the old Off

for the first tme will take their oaths and the
duties of their respective Offices and affairs will pro-
ceed much the before Those in office will
attend to their work. and those out will devote them
selves to other activities.
Now that the election is over, the quicker can
get into the harness again, the better.
Montana is a big rich state and Sheridan county
is one of the richest counties in it. Without regard to
politics, we want to everybody prosper-we want
to wheat crops good and prices hgh for it is only
as the farmers the producers of basic wealth prosper

If the crops fall if the prices should continue Iow
then there would be nothing for US here in Sheridan
county, there would be nothing for us to quarrel about
politically or otherwise.
So now, let us turn our attention to the task at

Confessions Show innocence Of
Sacco and Vanzetti

New York-(FP)-The revelation
of Vanzetti's innocence of the Bridge
water holdup, as told in the Oct. 81 |
issue of The Outlook, features Jack |
Callahan's story of how he found the
real criminals. AS a former under
world burglar, he knew that "the |
personality of a crook is stamped up
on his job" Vanzetti was framed
up for the Bridgewater attempt as a
preliminary to framing him and Sac
co for the South Braintree murders.
Callahan, for the past Is years es-
tablished in business and society, was
employed by the Outlook Publishing
Co. in March, 1928, to dig the story
out of the underworld Convinced
that the Bridgewater holdup and the
South Braintree murder were not
done by the same gang, Callahan
tells why:
"What did the Bridgewater gang
do which classified them as buns,
and what did the South Braintree
gang do which classified them as un-
derworld aristocrats? Every move
that the Bridgewater gang made was
bad move. Fish peddlers and shoe
"But what different picture we
get when we look at the South Brain
tree job. Shoemakers and fish peddl-
ers had no hand in that performance.
There was finesse to that job. They
went there to get the swag and they
got it. They were real desperate
yeggs.
eff the South Braintree gang COM
mitted the Bridgewater crime, why
didn't they plan the Bridgewater get
away just as they had planned the
South Braintree getaway"
For more than A months Callahan
searched through the underworld of
Boston, New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Providence, before get
ting the tips which led him to James
Mede and Frank Silva. From Mede,
alias Big Chief, and then form Silva
himself, he got the full story of how
a men, Silva, Joe San Marco, Doggy
Bruno and Guinea Oates, clumsily at
tempted to hold up the l.. y. White
payroll truck at Bridgewater.
Just before the execution OF Sacco
and Vanzetti, Mede went to Gov
Fuller and made clean breast OF the
whole thing. He tried also to make
a statement before Captain Bye OF
the Massachusetts, state police, but
was told by Blye that it would be toe
embarrassing.
The Outlook in letter to Fuller
now asks for the governors comment
or statement on the article. Inc edl-
tor writes to the governor The con-
illusions of our Investigation estaD.
lish, we are confident that VanzettI
was not present at the commission Of
the crime and had no connectlon with
it or knowledge of it whatever.

SOME HORSE RACE

New York. II Autocaster) Vincent
Scanu, Is, and Peter Cangena, 10, de-
cided suddenly to celebrate with an
old-fashioned horse race.
The lads rented horses from a liv-
cry stable and soon the residents of a
staid Brooklyn street wereastonished
to see two horses galloping at full
tilt, Jockeys" riding them. Never
had such a thing been seen on a
crowded city street.
The boys were fined So each, on
the strength of an old ordinance
forbidding horse racing on city
streets. They were caught by a po-
liceman who dashed after the horse
and men in a modern taxicab.
