Sharkey in filing a challenge with
the New York State Athletic Com

The promoter pointed out that Il

James E. Farley, chairman of the
commission. said the challenge would
be placed on file Until March.
"Under the rule which re-
Quires champions to accept

The six-months rule hitherto has

That the Georgetown Hilltoppers

last week. There was no disgrace
in their defeat Saturday night by
the crack New York University five

be enjoying a great wave of pros
perity, and the capitalists and bank
ers and railroad magnates are reap
ing millions of dollars in profits, the
working farmers of the state are
reaplng poverty. Hundreds of them
are driven off the land every year
and forced to go to the big cities to
join the already large army of I'M
employed. INFLAMMATION is driv-
ing the small farmer off the land
and making way for the Industrial
ization or Efficiency Farmer"
The International Harvester COM
pany and other big trusts dominate
and practically own the small farm
er. Mortgages and bank failures are
steady menace. McNary-H augen
bills are red behring's thrown into
the political arena to take the at
tention of the poor farmers away
from the real problems. The
wealthy farmer is the only one who
would benefit by such legislation.
State and gasoline taxes imposed
upon the farmer bring in enormous
sums supposed to be used to i'm
prove country roads. Is this money
SO used? No, only the roads used
by the rich are improved. Country
roads are terrible, and in many in
stances impossible during the rainy
and winter season.
The Three Capitalist Parties.
The republican party, virtual ruler
of the state, has done nothing to
help the workers and farmers. They
are outspoken representatives of big
business. Under their administra-
ton the workers and farmers have
seen conditions becoming worse and
worse. The democratic party, realiz-
ing the resentment against the re-
publicans, feel they have a chance to
capture the state. Records prove the
democratic party is no better than
the republican party. Both are d.
rect representatives of the bosses.
The socialist party is a younger
brother of the major parties and
always betrays the workers. A
strong political force in the days of
Van Leer, the party very rapidly
lost its influence as result of be-
trayal after betrayal. The old
Daily Star, once labor newspaper
and confiscated by Van Leer, became
the outspoken champion of reaction.
With one or two notable exceptions
the socialist aldermen are indistin-
guishable from the republican and
democratic aldermen. The once pow
ertul socialist party is now a sore
