SMITH MAKES BIG SPEECH
 IN HELENA; SCORES HOOVER

HELENA, Mont, Sept. 9, P) .... With such blunt terms as treason official corruption and crime-and intrigue" Governor Al. Smith of New York, Democratic nominee for President of the United States, as ss'led the Republican Administra- ton since 1920 and declared that the Republican Party cannot dodge the responsibility for the oil lease. which he designated as fraudulent, and other acts of wrong doing.
 The Democratic nominee again sailed into Hoover stressing the fact that during the last seven years and a half Hoover was in the cabinet, and asked his audi ence to draw it's own inference.
 Smith asserted that none in the administrator, better than he, really recalled that period. He said: You can search the record from one end to the other; you can examine it in minute detail, and you will fail to find a single word of condemnation on h.s part, and on the contrary in his speech of acceptance he said: The rec ords of seven and half years constitute period of hard work and leadership and constructive action," with the big crowd and the Nation of radio listeners befo e him.
 Does he want the American peo- pie to believe that that record means moral courage or construct i've leadership-I don't think so.'
 After reviewing the oil lease. the Governor brought up the sub ject of the liquidation of the Re- publican National Committee cam paign debt through the use of Lib erty Bonds. which he called the proceeds of the oil deal.''
 HELENA. Sept. 25, (P) --.- Gov ernor Smith faced scores of 1n- dians at Fair near here today. One Sioux from Fort Benton step ped forward and addressed the Gov ernor as follows:
 We have been told that Mr. Hoover, as Secretary of Commerce, personally, is responsible for the reprehensible conditions in the fish .ng industry in Alaska over the re- peated protests of the Alaska h. dians. That, also, their very eX- istence is threatened, and that he coldly turned these Indians down and granted a fishing monopoly to nonresident canneries of Seattle. Portland and San Francisco. Can we expect any different treatment 1T the Jlited Statesf
 You are the great sachem of great organization named after . noble abor. ginese Chief-Tammany. He was good to our people. You are good to yours."
 After the speech Governor Smith was presented with an Indian bon net, a pouch, and pipe, and they daubed his cheeks with orange col ored powder.

uatiOn remains and it coKsti-
 tutes a problem that may we'll
 engage the attention of nation
 al and state authorities. The
 fear is expressed that the pro
 drction of food may become reduced to an extent that the scarcity will not only
 greatly increase prices, but threaten the welfare of the people.
 While the reasoning is pure 'ly academic and subject to the views of each individual, t is probably true that the persons who make occasional trips from the rural districts to the larger towns enjoy these visits and the things they see much more than those who see them every day. It is a case where familiarity sometimes breeds contempt. In the mat ter of better school facilities in the towns, there is in most cases no place for argument, although some progress has been made in a number of states to bring about a central ization of teaching that gives country pupils some of the ad- vantages of the city in a course of study.
 There is nothing to justify un- due pressure to keep men and women and boys and girls on the farms. So long as there are mouths to feed, enough per- sons will make choice of the country life to insure the crops of grain and quantities of oth- CT foodstuffs needed to main- tain all the people at a reason able cost.

NO CAUSE FOR WORRY.

There is always more or less worry connected with money. Those of us who do not have it worry about getting it, and those of us who have it are often put to 8 great deal of worry in hanging on to it. In addition to this no little worry is brought on by the desire to make a jitney grow where only 8 penny grew before. It seems as though poets and philosophers have conspired to bring money into disrepute 30 anxious are they to tell us that the mere possession of it is a great burden.
 In more recent times there has come to us the warning that money carries germs. Germ experts even went so far as to demonstrate that a bank clerks occupation was particularly hazardous because he handles so much money. But now this dread has been dispelled. After exhaustive in- vestigation on the subject of money as germ carriers two Illinois University experts as- sure us that this danger has been greatly exaggerated. It seems that the metals from which coins are made act as destroyers of bacteria.
 This relieves us of the worry connected with the handling of money. The next thing for some expert to do is to tell us now we may be relieved of our worries in trying to get hold of 1t.

NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS
GETTING NEW BUSINESS.

The progressive business firm finds that it needs to be con. stantly making new friends and creating new circle o1 customers. If it just depends on satisfying those who have previously bought it's goods, il is likely to see it's trade di- unfinished. Population changes more rapidly now than former ly, and if a firm has 8 certain list of customers this year, it can expect, as the result of all ! changes that naturally oc-
 nf that considerable pro- portion of those customers will not be on the list in a year or two.
 Also people are changeable in their habits, and unless a E'e',% :nergetic effort is made 10 hold old customers by ad- vsrIising, a lot of them will go elsewhere, attracted by the various inducements that are offered them.
 People are not much inclined, as they were often formerly, just to trade at one place or few places right along year after year. They are quick to get the idea, if some firm seems to be hustling a little harder than it's competitors to :, please the people, and no feel ing of habit or sentiment of loyalty is apt to hold them, if they think they can do better by going elsewhere for some thing they want.
 By an active campaign of ad- vertising, a firm can keep mak- ing new business friends, to make up for those who drift elsewhere. It does not take elaborate persuasion to win such new customers in these times.
 People are ready to go to any place of business where the spirit of enterprise and hustle seems to prevail. A concern that makes it 8 regular prac- tice to advertise even if it does not take any great amount of space, will have new customers entering it's doors, who will more than make up for old customers who go elsewhere.

By SIDNEY BLOOMFIELD

During a strike the workers are in
terested in the issues of the immedi-
ate struggle. Communist activities
receive recognition because the work
ers comprehend that only the COM
munists advance the true interests of
the working-class. The masses are
interested in the broader aspects of
the struggle during election cam
paigns because they are confronted
with an incessant capitalist campaign
propaganda coming from every ave-
nue. Of information during this period.
The masses are becoming more re-
sponsive to revolutionary agitation.
We must be as active and thorough
in the election campaign as we are
in strikes, with the understanding that
the smallest details of the campaign
must receive our attention. A Boil

Communists Face Important Election Tasks

shevik is ever alert to seize upon the
minutest detail, the most common
routine task, in order to give it pol
itical content and use it as means
of advancing the main struggle of the
workers. Communists must regard
parliamentary campaign work of
equal Importance to a strike. The
election campaign must find every
Communist zealously at work.
Getting Signatures
Heretofore one of our major tasks,
getting signatures of voters in order
to place our candidates on the ballot,
& formality which must be complied
with and without which the proper
kind of campaign is not always posi-.

few comrades in each district, or some
paid worker was detailed to carry out
the task. This uncommunist proee-
dure has tended to isolate our mem

one of the most important of which
is the election campaigns.
A Job Worth While
Getting signatures is rich and
colorful experience and not the me-
NAL task that shirkers pretend it to
be. Most workers and middle-class
elements will sign their names to our
petitions if properly approached. The
most reticent comrade will bocome q
hustler after little experience. I'm
initiated comrades may be sent out
in pairs until they can do the work
alone. 1t is well to give literature
copies of the Daily Worker, ETC., to
chose signing the petition.
In going about this work one learns
through conversation with the work
ers, their conditions, their problems
their struggles and their wishes. One
observes the attitude and reactions OF
the workers toward certain problems

Students And Miners Struggle

bued with anti-working class spirit
and outlook.
We have the example of the stu
dents in the Colorado colleges partici-
pating in the slaughter Of the strik-
ing miners there. These students were
part of the National Guard. We have
the example of students playing the
role Of strikebreakers. The C. M. 7.
&c. is recruited to large extent from
the students.
1t is, therefore, of special interest
to US to know of the reactions of the
students to the great miners strike
now in progress and how they re-
sponded to the call of the miners for
relief.
Influence of League.
We have only given one side Of
the picture concerning students. That
side is a very black one indeed. How
ever, one can see the influence of the
Young Workers (Communist) League
members in any universities and col
leges. We must not be blind to nor
underestimate the Importance of the
Communist struggle against all forms
of militarism in a place like City Col
lege. No doubt, in spite of all the
walls of bleak learning which college
authorities attempt to create between
the students and the working class
the fact that there are large num-
Der of working Students, the fact that
section of the students have sprung
from proletarian homes, brings them
in contact with the class struggle.
and we find that even in the rich
mans college, Yale, a group of stu
dents do participate in picketing of an
open shop neekwear factory.
In New York City we have a Youth
Conference for Miners Relief. The
overwhelming majority of the so odd
youth organizations which are affil-
lated are working class in character
There are, however, about dozen
student groups affiliated with it.
What have these groups done for the
striking miners? How much have
they contributed? What has been the
response of the students generally to
the agitation for relief?
This the article will attempt to an
swer. The scope of this article will
naturally be limited to the experiences
in New York only. Whether or not
this is a general or local phenomenon

hcrship from the masses, and the
party has in the past been unable to
get on the ballot in many states where
little effort would accomplish the
task. In some instances our Party
was compromised in the eyes of the
workers because of this carelessness.

and the whole Party must be mobil-
1zed for this work. Obtaining sigma
lures should become competitive
task, one that will create interest and
enthusiasm amongst the comrades.
When a Bolshevik can boast of hav-

leaflets were issued on the strike,
These leaflets were put into every
students hand The leaflets gave a
clear exposition of the facts on the
coal strike. In most instances, these
leaflets were very well received by
the students.
Student Contributions.
Money was raised in two ways by
the student groups. One was the ar
rangement of affairs; and two, the
holding of special college and high
school tag days. Hunter College, the
main building committee, arranged an
affair and made $54.63. In tag day
collections in Hunter, 1921 was TAX
en- in by the main building group. In
the 32nd st. Annex, $53.78 was col
lected, and in the Brooklyn Annex,
S6.52. In City College a tag day
netted $3.50. In New Utrecht High
School, $16.22. In New York Uni
versity, the University Daily News
gave the miners strike some excel
lent publicity. And when a tag day
was held in the Washington Square
Branch one hours collecting totaled
$10787. That tag day was broken
up by the police. In George Wash
ington High School $23.78 was col
lected. A Teachers College group
sent in 1921. Barnard College club
has turned in to date S48.61 in gen
eral collections, and over 500 in tick
cts, etc. Union Theological Seminary
turned in 81 for miners relief. Over
$500 was collected by student organ
izations for miners relief.
Must Win Students.
The miners struggle has found a
certain response among the students.
They have shown a real live interest
in the miners fight. Of course, there
is no use hiding the fact that the ele-
ments responsible for most of the
work in the colleges, high schools,
and universities of New York have
been the members Of the Young
Workers (Communist) League. A
step forward as far as clarifying the
students on the issue of the miners
strike has been accomplished. The
bourgeois theology in the high schools
and colleges must be ruthlessly COM
batted, and the students, as much as
possible, must be made into class
conscious fighters in the ranks of the
working class.
