CONN, DELEGATES ARE
 IN BACK OF TILS0N

 ROraback's Sanction

Kansas City, June 15 f4p - Con- gressman John Q. Tilson, backed by members of the Connecticut delegation but still without the sanction Of J. Henry Roraback. its chairman. will probably be offered to the national republican conven- ton this afternoon as a running mate for Herbert Hoover in the next race for the presidency. In re- sponse 10 plea made by J. Ray for declaration to offset the pro- paganda of his opponents to the effect that Connecticut was not supporting Tilson. several members of the delegation including Lieut.. Gov. J. Edwin Brainard, Repre- sentative John F. Lynch. John H. Hill, Mayor Walter F.. Patterson of Hartford and Roy C. Wilcox. gave Mccuen authority to say that Til- sons state would support him.
 Further combating a report that Tilson would not be agreeable to Hoover, the congressman called Hoover on the telephone and was told that his campaign was not ob- iectionable. He was not promised any support. however. When Rora- back went into conference on the vice presidency at 9 o'clock this morning. he had no later informa- hn if,h hn Inf after the conference which broke up at 3 a. m. today. At that time he declared that Charming Cox loomed as strong candidate. He made no mention of Tilson. who ap- parently went into the convention session with more votes promised than any of the several candidates Indications were that an customer probably from New England would lead in the voting and Tilson's man. ager declared that if Hoover spe- declined to indicate the field from which a second place man should be chosen. Tilson would be against the field in the first bal lot with more votes than any other and promises of scores from other delegations on the second ballot.
 Asked today why Connecticut held so tenaciously to Coolidge prior to the balloting. Roraback declared that the sentiment of Connecticut was for the president just so long

Bimba to Speak at
Election Symposium
in Williamsburgh

Anton Bimba, Workers (Commu-
MISTY Party candidate in the Thir-
teenth Assembly District of Brook
lyn, will present the Communist
platform of class struggle to Will
liamsburg workers at a symposium
to be held at Miller's Grand Assem-
bly,, corner Of Havemeyer and Grand

The republican party of big bust
ness will be represented by Anthony
De Piano, running in the Fourteenth
Assembly District, and its twin, the
Democratic party, will be repre-
scented by P. Nathanson, also run
hing in the Fourteenth Assembly
District.
According to the Brooklyn Citi-
zens' Committee, under whose aus
pices the symposium will be held,
the socialist party was invited to
send speaker, but refused, giving
as a reason that Communist will
speak and it does not want to APP
pear on the same platform. Since
the audience at the symposium will
be composed of workers it is under
stood why the socialist party will
not present its petty bourgeois plat
form in open contrast with the mill
tant working class platform of the
Workers (Communist) Party.

u. S. IMPERIALISM
AT RALLY NOV. 4
Will Clip Wings of
American Eagle

The double-headed eagle of Amer
lean imperialism will be trotted out
at the Madison Square Garden dem
onstration concentrating the 18th
anniversary of the Bolshevik Revo-
luton on Nov. 4. The flight this
eagle will take at the huge Red rally
on that afternoon will not be VIC
torious one, according to Adolf
Wolff, director of the pageant. 1t
will be of short duration. It's wings
and tail will be clipped by militant
workers.
The huge gilded symbol of Amer
lean imperialism will be wheeled out
on a truck to the futile accompani-
ment of few blares of a throaty
trumpet vaguely reminiscent Of the
Star Spangled Banner. One head
of the eagle will wear brown derby
jauntily and will have the inevitable
democratic cigar stuck into his
mouth. The other head will wear
a high nat and will have "Big Bust
ness" painted on its crest. Labels
will not be necessary.
Around the tail Of the eagle a
brilliantly-gilded halo will glitter
and the likeness of a certain cam
paigning clergyman will be discern
ible. If tails could speak it would
shout "class collaboration
The wings Of the eagle will re-
semble a donkey and an elephant.
1t will sit on huge bag Of money.
It's belly will be contorted into the
shape of a dollar sign.
In protecting circle around the
eagle will be policemen with clubs,
gangsters with blackjacks, judges
with injunctions and ministers with
bibles and altar cloths. On the edge
of the float, closing in slowly and
determinedly. a bunch of militant,
class-conscious workers will stand
in menacing positions, with clenched
fists appraised and the red flag of
Communism held aloft.
This and similar spectacular floats
will. make the demonstration this
year the most picturesque yet at
tempted.

NO DENIAL FROM

Other Huge Payments
Discovered

WASHINGTON, Oct. %. - A
$685. "bonus," alleged to have
been paid by the Electric Bond and
Share Company to Sydney T. Nit
chell, president of the same firm,
was disclosed by the Federal Trade
Commission today.
Although two other officials of the

would defy the Commissions right
to go through the company's secret
official financial records, they did
not deny the charges brought for
ward by the disclosure.
By direct data, which, it was in

tors, attorneys plainly stated that
such payments had been made to

the president controls over 200 gas
and light utilities throughout the
United States, and is one of the big
gest contributors to the power
lobby. With spokesman from the
insult and Doherty interests and
several other power interests, he has
shaped the industry's political
course, swindling millions of dollars
from the national treasury and from
the consumers in those districts
where he controls the power works.
The investigation revealed a secret
code used by the power interests
when putting shady transactions
across, and when directing action
against city-owned utilities; illegal
plans in correspondence of the power
heads, and several other practises
designed to cheat both the consumers
and the advocates Of public control
of utilities.

Negro Candidates.
To briefly go over some of the
past of this important case, the fol
lowing should be mentioned: On
October 10 the Party nominating
convention was held at which candi-
dates and electors were nominated
For governor, Comrade Edward L
Schlekau was nominated; for lieu,
tenant governor, w. E. Davis, q
Negro comrade; for secretary Of
state, Dole Talbert, also Negro
comrade; and for congress, Roy
Stephens.
Davis, in accepting the nomina
ton, declared that by nominating
Negroes on it's ticket the Party
showed that it really means to carry
out its platform, which demands
full social and political equality fol
Negroes. This attitude of the Par
ty has resulted in the Ku Kluxers
and American Legion patriots max
ing their democratic" conspiracy
with the state officials to keep the
Party off the state ballot.
The Nebraska case shows why
the National Election Campaign
Committee is urgently pushing the
$4,000 Election Drive-Anti-T Terror
Emergency Fund. This case is cost
ing the Party enormous sums fol-
legal expense, and if the Party hao
been able to finance another appea
it would probably have been abb,
to force the American Legion anc
state officials to put the Communis
candidates on the ballot.
Due to the lack of finances, how
ever, for the legal fights and cam
paigning expenditures in the othe1
81 states in which we are on tn,
ballot are very great, the prospects
of our finally compelling the fas
cists and state authorities in Ne
braska to put our Party on the bal
lot are becoming daily more slim
Our comrades there have made
fine campaign against tremendou
odds and will continue the fight evel
if the Party should not get on tn
ballot.
