BY ED FALKOWSKI.

SHAMOKIN, Pa, (FP) Jan. 90
When the colliery whistle sounded the
morning call to work, Walter Kazier,
together with nearly 10000 other
hard coal miners, yawned, chasing
away sleep. Boiling coffee sent an
aroma through the house. Going to
the kitchen he found a wife, still
sleepy, packing his tin can and fill
ing his bottle. For Kazier was miner
and it was nearly time to leave for
work.
kazier heard the gumboots of many
miners squeal along the gray pave
ment as he beat his own way to the
Luke Fiddler Colliery, as he had done
for many years. Some lamps moved
through the dull mist, for the morn
ings in winter are heavy gray. Miners
were carrying their mine-lamps, dimly
burning through the gloom.
But all this was usual to him, and
he never noticed it. Never thought
more of his wife, or Of his eight chill
dren, left at home. Thought nothing
of the hulking breaker, and when he
huddled himself upon the cage, one
of ten other silent miners whose coal
lapels were fastened about their
breasts with safety pins, he was
dropped into the mine. It was the
days most ordinary incident, and
Kazier, like the others, never noticed
that.

-Lenin Speaks to Peasant Deputies

Party, these treaties are Just as GRIM
inal as are those of the German Grim
inal capitalists~~and their bandit
Kaiser William and his accomplices.
The blood of the workers and peas
ants shall not flow in order that these
predatory aims of the capitalists may
be realized.
This terrible war must be termin-
ated as soon as possibIe-not by a
separate peace with Germany but by
general peace, not by a peace con-
Guided by the capitalists but by one
forced on the capitalists by the work
ing masses. There is only one way
to do. this, that of transferring the
whole power of the state into the
hands of the Soviets of the Deputies
of the Workers, Soldiers and Peas
ants in Russia and other countries.
Such Soviets alone are capable of
putting an end to the frauds of the
capitalists and of preventing the capt.
talists from prolonging TIE war.

last question l raised, that of the
form of government.
RUSSIA must be democratic re-
~ public. Even the majority of the
landowners and CAPITALISTS agree to
this. they who were always in favor
of the monarchy, but have not real
lied that the people of Russia will
never admit Of the monarchy being
reestablished. The capitalists are now
exerting everv effort to make the re-
public as similar as possible to the
monarchy, so that. at any given mo-
ment, the monarchy can be restored
1--WE have examples enough of this
sort of thing in many cou~tries). For
this reason, the capitalists wish to
maintain the staff of officials who
are above people and under the COM
nnand of generals and officers. I'm
less, however, the generals and Of
ficers are chosen by the people, they
will certainly be recruited from the
class of capitalists and landowners
This we know from the experiences of
all the republics in the world

COMRADES, peasant depu-
~ ties;
The Central Committee of the
Russian Social-Democratic La
Dor Party (Bolshevik) to which have
the honor to belong, wished to give
me authority to represent our Party
at the Peasant Congress. AS until
now, illness has prevented me from
fulfilling this commission, take the
liberty of addressing this open letter
to you, in order to greet the ALL
Russia Union of the Peasantry and
briefly point out the far-reaching diff
ferences of opinion which separate
our party from that of the Social
Revolutionaries" and of the "Menshe-
Wiki"
These deep-reaching differences of
opinion concern three highly import
ant questions, those of the land, Of
war and of the national construction.
The whole land must belong to the
peasants. All landed property must
be handed over to the peasants with
out any compensation. This is clear.
The question in dispute is: Shall the
peasants take possession of the land
at once, without paying rent to the
landowners and without waiting until
the National Assembly is called, or
shall they not?
Our Party holds the point of view
that the peasants should adopt the
former plan and recommends the
peasants settled in a district to take
possession of the land at once, to
carry out these measures as system
atically as possible, in no circum-
stances to permit any destruction of
property and to use every effort to
increase the production of grain and
meat, for our soldiers at the front
are suffering terribly from hunger
The National Assembly will work out
the final laws with regard to the soil
Preliminary regulations must, how
ever, be made by the local organiza-
tons at once, before the spring-sow-
ing; for our provisional government.
the government Of the landowners and
capitalists, is postponing calling the
Constituent Assembly and has not
yet announced a date for which it will
be summoned.
THE provisional measures can only
be taken by the local organizations.
The cultivation of the fields is abso-
lutely essential. The majority of the
resident peasants will know how best
to administer and work the soil sys-
tematically. This work must be man
aged by them in order to improve the
provisioning of the soldiers at the
front. For this reason it is out of
the question to wait until the Consti-
tuent Assembly is called. We do not
in any way DISPUTE the right of the
National Assembly to determine in
detail the final laws regarding the
handing over of the land to the whole
people and the forms of it's admins
tration For the time being, however.
now, this spring, the peasants on the
spot must themselves take the initia-
tive. The soldiers at the front can
and must send delegates to the vii
lagos.
Further, a close alliance between
the urban proletariat and the poorest
peasants (semirproletarians) is nee
essary if the whole land is to be
placed in the hands of the workers.
Without such an alliance it is impos-
sible to defeat the capitalists, but

of it's steam. E. L. Doheny testified
before the Walsh investigating COM
mittee that he had hired McAdoo
for yearly $4,000 retainer for five
years after he left the Wilson cab
met.
Killed by DOheny News
The Democrats could hardly
nominate Doheny's high-priced
lawyer in campaign with admin
istrative corruption as the big issue,
even though McAdco had not been
connected with any dishonest trans
action. The Doheny retainer really
killed him.
The galleries were packed to
holler "OiI! Oil! Oil" at McAdoo
whenever given the word and to
provide an hours claque demon
stration for Smith, but the climax
came and the cops were called
when a resolution was introduced
denouncing the Ku-KluX Khan by
name.
Again Bryan took the platform
before bowling cursing mob of
eastern politicians. He opposed
the resolution and again he told
them that the issue was not re-
ligion, but Wall Street and the
trusts VS.. the people.
The convention was in no mood
to heed him. The resolution was
voted upon and beaten by a single
vote, 542 to SAL.
There were 1913 ballots cast and
McAdoo led on SO. On the thirtieth
McAdoo was down to Ais and Smith
up to 1913.
Smith offered to withdraw if Nc
Adoo would. He wouldn't. McAdoo
told Senator Underwood of Alabama
that he would make him the nomi-
nee if he could get two southern
states beside his own. Underwood
asked for twenty-four hours to get
them and failed.
Begged in religious hatred, the
convention staggered on for sixteen
days, breaking all records in ter
rifle heat. The vote for a choice
was 1872. Neither McAdoo nor
Smith ever had majority.
John w. Davis Named
The convention swung to John
w. Davis, an estimable gentleman
removed from party squabbles, with
no blemishes and yet no popular
appeal. He won on the 103d ballot.
Leaders then offered the vice
presidential nomination to Walsh,
Meredith, Newton D. Baker and
others, to conciliate the McAdoo
faction. When those men refused,
they nominated Governor Charles
w. Bryan of Nebraska.
Disguised at the two Wall Street"
candidates, progressives met at
Cleveland in national convention to
nominate Senator Robert M. La
Toilette of Wisconsin and Senator
Burton K. Wheeler of Montana, a
Republican and a Democrat.
