Had ballot been reached on the
Gay of Ingersoll's speech Blaine
probably would have won. But the
New York Pennsylvania bosses Sc
cretly had the gas turned off in the
building, forcing the convention to
adjourn. These bosses by morning
had the convention rugged against
Blaine.
Rutherford B. Hayes won on the
seventh ballot with 384 for a major
ity to 351 for Blaine.
Hayes had been the one candidate
unobjectionable to all. Blaine had
received a majority of the conven-
ton votes, but never on the same
ballot!
Democrats PICK Illden
Two weeks later the Democrats
nominated the best politician of his
day, Governor Samuel j. Tilden of
New York.
He had become wealthy as a cor
poration lawyer and was famous
for having broken up the notorious
Tween ring in New York. He won
on the second ballot without trouble.
Scads of money were spent on
Tilden's campaign, while the Grant
administration made heavy cam
paign levies on federal jobholders.
Votes we're bought in doubtful states
by both sides. That was the custom.

against the failure of marriage?
"Mr. Pruitt looks as if he'd turned

at the Workers School

Max Bedacht, national director of
the Agitprop of the Workers (Com-
munist) Party of America, who has
jr. been added to the faculty of the
Workers School, will begin his course
in "Marxism-Len.n;cIn," this Thurs
day at $3.50 p. M, at the Workers
School, 1928 Union So, fifth floor.
This course, which is open only to
those who have taken the elementary
and intermediate courses in the
school or to those who can prove
that they have made a study of
Marxism-Leninism, will take up the
most important works of Marx and
Lenin and will draw lessons from
them for the present-day struggle
of the working class. In this course
the theories of those in opposition
to the theories of Marx and Lenin,
such as Prouhdon and Bakunin, Las
sale, Bernstein, Kautsky and Trot-
sky, will also be analysed so as to
point out why such theories mislead
the working class.
Max Bedacht will also begin a
