Herbert Hoover = The Salesman
for the American Empire

standard-bearer of the republican
party.
The Wall Street oracles indicated
Hoover. The entwined entrails of the
bulls, bears and lambs slaughtered by
the high priests of finance on golden
smoking affairs spelled Hoover. (The
intestines of few Irish bulls spelled
AL Smith.)
The Clumsy Coolidge.
Not only was Coolidge flaw in the
otherwise spotless halo of Standard
Oil, but he displayed singular inept-
ness in popularizing such noble ad-
ventures as the conquest of Near
aqua, apparently believing that all
Americans would delight in the feats
of arms of the marines in this little
country and whoop it up every time a
Nicaraguan peasant was slaughtered
by company of marines after an
engagement in which there were no
American casualties"
Nanking-a Nasty Incident.
The same cool acceptance by Cool

would rejoice at the courage dis
played by U. S. naval forces when,

and excoriated with whitehot words
to the applause of the mul itude.
Much kudos accrued to the senior
senator from Montana while his col
league, Senator w h eler, altho
bounded by the minions of Sinclair
and Doheny, was able to charge up
and down the countryside and battle
for the populace-without ever having
to mention Standard OIL
Oil and Politics.
Officeholders and office seekers of
both capitalist parties heaved great
signs of relief. No longer would
they have to choose between angering
the electorate by a failure to de-
nounce Standard Oil, and jeopardi-
sing heavy contributions to their
campaign funds by such denuncia-
tions. It seemed almost that the oil
age was to be transmitted into a
golden age for frock-coated solicitors
Of the peoples suffrage.
Virtue Triumphant.
No breath of suspicion was cast
upon Standard Oil for four long
years. If there fingered any hos
tili.y in few bosoms toward Stan
dard Oil, these doubters simply
thought of Sinclair and Doheny and
shuddered. Between the manifest
integrity Of this great corporation and
the evil acts Of their competitors
there could be but one choice. Vic
torious virtue cast it's mantle over
Standard Oil. The tribunes of the
people turned their forensic batteries
upon the poltroons who had tapped
Teapot Dome.
Standard Oil was sitting pretty.
The abandonment of life of sin by
the heads of this great combination
Of capital brought happiness to many
hearts. There was more joy in the
political heavens over the conversions
Of this one transgressor than over
ninety-nine just.
Laying the Ghost.
The ghost of Harding, Jak e
Hamon and Jesse Smith were laid
Daugherty and Fall were inferred in
the political graveyard. Only the

ing class to our revolutionary move
ment. But they fail sufficiently to
realize that besides our press we have
another instrument as an interme-
diary between our party and tho
workers, and that is literature.
1t is regretable that our comrades
neglect this in their everyday con-
facts with their fellow workers in the
shops and unions. They are appar-
emily reluctant to carry in their pock-
cts, when going to work or to union
meeting, one or two small books or
pamphlets on a timely topic in order
10 give them to a worker who might
be interested.
This is partly the fault Of the units
which do not insist upon their litera-
ture agents getting the literature. At
the same time there was no ideologi-
cal campaign IN our Party press ana
in our Party organizations for greater
activity in this respect. No proper
machinery has been established to d.
rect and supervise this work. Now
all this will hereafter be changed. A
district literature committee has been
organized to direct the distribution
of literature.
Literature "nests" will be estab-
lished in every section and sub-sec-
ton. Literature agents and other
comrades will always be in touch with
the Party book store
When this machinery has been
properly organized it will not remain
idle. A steady flow Of literature will
be directed among the workers in the
shops and organizations.
