Right here it must be stated that
in practically every state the law
is so vague and indefinite and pre-
sents so many technicalities to be
complied with that in an emergency
the officials can always find some
minor violation or technical objec-
ton through which they may at will
practically rule off any candidate or
list of candidates. Almost every
where there is nothing to prevent
them from so constituting the law so
as to prevent the candidates. of all
but the two leading parties from
getting on the ballot.
An excellent illustration of this
was an occurrence in the state of
California in 1924. The provisions
of the California law are among the
most difficult of any state in the
country. The LaFollette third party
group was fighting for place on
the California ballot. Almost at the
last moment, they discovered that
the law required petitions to be
signed by minimum of $4,000 vot-
ers. Within a couple of days pc
titions were gotten out and the nee
essary number of signatures was
obtained. These were duly filed
within the time limit given in the
law.
California, however, is one of the
most doubtful of the states. The
candidacy of LaFollette was men
ace to the republicans, who were at
the time in control of the state, so
they ruled that the LaFollette pc
titions were technically void because
each petition named the whole Is
LaFollette electors. They contended
that the petitions should have been
so drawn as to prevent the name
of each elector on separate sheet,
so that instead of signing once for
all thirteen electors, as was done,
each citizen should have signed thir-

Poverty and misery prevails in
the region where the steel trust has
spread its rule, as well as in West
Virginia and Pennsylvania.
Duquesne, Pennsylvania, is a
striking example.
When one crosses the McKeesport
Bridge over the Monongahela River
he can see the big steel chimneys of
the steel mills, which cloud the town
with heavy black smoke. The streets
are narrow and dirty, bricks are
torn up, on the broken porches of
the old company houses the workers.
tired from a hard days toll, sit in
sheir working clothes and inhale the
.hick clouds of smoke which come
from the steel chimneys and from
the locomotives which run down the
main street There are countless
numbers of churches and barber
shops here. The churches serve as
detective bureau, and each barber
shop as a saloon.

expensive automobiles.

On the hill the bootleggers, the

There is only one mill in town,
employing over seven thousand

the progressives.

Tactics of Faker. :.
The reason is plain. Progressive
sentiment is strong in Minnesota.
Prosecutor Poirier has political am
billions there. He wants to play
with the radicals in the farmer
labor association in Minnesota and
wouldn't like to have them know
what he said about Bouck, who is
we'll liked there. The speech he
made against Bouck and the pro-
gressive element in Chicago helped
to get him elected chairman of the
farmer-labor party, which position,
he thinks, will help his political for
tunes in Minneapolis and Minnesota.
The only one to speak kindly of
Bouck was his nominator, Ali Reed,
an old populist from South Dakota.
Reed was at both the Chicago and
St. Paul conventions and took issue
with David McVey's version Of
them. McVey had spoken of the
Communist steam roller. Reed said
the Communists were at no time in
the majority. 1t was their strong
organization and wise leadership
that gave them control. "Talk about
steam rollers. The worst / have
ever seen was the one at the farm
er-labor convention in 1920 when
the farmers and other groups were
completely flattened out by the la
Dor politicians who dominated the
convention" Reed said.
The fight to throw the convention

Fake "Farmer-Labor" Convention Ends

sentation in the convention. There
were some farmers. The convention
was dominated by middle class ele-
ments. The platform shows this and
it is even more strongly indicated
by the delegates choice of Norris,
a lawyer, and Vereene, a wealthy
cotton mill owner of Georgia, who
undoubtedly employs child labor,
against which there is plank in
the platform. With Poirier, a
prosecuting attorney, as national
chairman, Bert Martin, lawyer of
Denver, as national secretary, the
picture is complete. On the execu-
tive there are some more lawyers,
realtors and insurance men. Cur
rency reformists and vaccination
freaks were among the thirty-two
delegates that reported.
New Basis Needed.
If the convention showed any
thing, it was that if labor party
is built in the next four years, it
will not be on the basis of the pres
ent farmer-labor party that met at
the Stevens hotel in Chicago this
week. 1t is moribund, beyond re-
vival and in all likelihood will never
again be heard of. Two moves were
made to save the remnants. One was
an attempted coalition with the pro-
hibition party which also met in
Chicago. The other was the at
tempted fusion with the socialist
party. Both moves failed. The
party that ran Farley Parker Chris
Hanson for president in 1920, de-
INJURED to LaFollette in 1924 and
nominated in 1928 candidate who
does not choose to run, will be an
cient history in 1880.

Still waiting
No matter. Mooney and Billings
are still behind prison bars waiting
upon the great mass of workers,
organized and unorganized"-and
the workers will not fail them. The
twelfth anniversary of the frame-up
of Mooney and Billings is time for
every red-blooded worker to join the
movement for their liberation.
Capitalist courts will not free
them. Like the legal murder of
Sacco and Vanzetti, the case of
Mooney and Billings is monumental
proof of the kind of class justice
that workers can expect from cap
italist courts. Mooney and Billings
in IL bitter years of Imprisonment
have learned that and tell it to the
world of labor. They appeal to the
working class. Join the movement
to "Free Mooney and Billings" Join
the International Labor Defense to
make that movement stronger

to the socialist party candidates
was led by McVey, Poirier and Karl
Jursek. They maintained there is
nothing in the farmer-labor plat
form that Thomas will not support.
Jursek said he had been to the So
cialist executive meeting in Balti-
more and asked Thomas if he would
accept the nomination. Thomas said
he would. One argument was that
the socialists had a campaign fund
and the farmer-laborites had none.
The move, however, was vigorously
opposed by old populists and none
tary freaks who composed good
half of the convention. They are
still living in the days of free silver
and think the socialists are too radi-
cal.
Among the eighteen planks
adopted as the platform are: Public
ownership of natural resources and
production and distribution in any
industry that becomes a monopoly;
equalization fee for farm relief;
against child labor; against injunc-
tons in labor disputes; recognition
of Russia; old age pensions and I'M
employment insurance and a plank
more dry than wet. On the whole,
the program is sharply reminiscent
of that of the socialist party.

Nation as Ireland at that time. She cultivated the arts and sciences and practised the sublime precepts of the Gospel of perfection. She was the seminary where Europe was then edu- cated and whatever progress has been made by them in letters and religion, they must own that they lighted the torch of Science and Faith at the sa- cred fires which burned on the alters of Ireland and which were lighted by "The Glorious Patrick" Patron of Ireland.

 "St. Patrick's Day Tn The Morning. !"
 But the commemorating voice of this
 day through primaeval Asia and old Europe is weak in comparison to the power it attains when it has crossed
 the Atlantic and reached the friendly
 crowded shores of young and vigor- Ous America Here indeed many a fond Irish heart welcomes the we'll
 known cheers, as they burst in the
 patriotic skies of Bunker Hill; there the shout assumes the majesty of thunder as it rolls in peals, again and
 again repeated, over the boundless prairies that skirt the Mississippi, and is echoed and re-echoed along the chi selled Alleghanies, until it dies away into silence about o'clock at night, as it re-echoes the placid boundless
 bosom of the Pacific Thus round and round the globe is the voice of
 Ireland that day heard by all man. Ikind-thus her scattered and fated children sing the songs of their native land, thus they stretch their united hands to each other on this day, and round the entire world they form a girdle of national love and patriotism. which reaches from the East to the West, and they couple the North and the South poles within the wide cir cle of their exiled but glorious af- fections and their shouts of joy can be heard by millions of their race along the free shores of glorious, hos pitable America.
 St. Patrick rose over Ireland like a star in the West and like the stars fixed in the blue vault of heaven, their he has remained from that hour to this, not obscured by the storms of that persecuted country, and not lessened in his lustre by all the eff forts of man to, uproot the seed he planted and there he remains unob- scured in the clear Irish Skies, and there is no doubt that Patrick's star will never set in that West.
 St. Patrick came to Ireland as a Bishop, he carried out his labors like a true Apostle of Christ, and there is no instance related in history of such success and such extents of territory as was granted to him.
 Ireland became a garden of Christi anity, there was never so happy a
