accused of participating in the plot,
declared that he had been menshe-
vik before the war He pleaded guilty
Of having had full knowledge of the
sabotage and of having taken no ac-
tion in preventing it. Upon further
examination, he admitted that he had
received money from engineer Nekra-
SOW to keep silent concerning the
plot.
Nekrasov was then examined. At
first he denied that he had partici-
pated in the sabotage work, and de-
clared that he was in complete SYM
pathy with the Soviet Union. His
testimony was proven false. 1t was
proved that he had not only robbed
the Soviet while working, but also
the former czarist owners.
The testimony of further witnesses
characterized Nekrasov as a bully
who treated the workers under his
control like animals. The former
chief of the Okhrana, reactionary poll
ice organization Of the czarist gov
ernment, in the Sehachty district, tes-
titled that Nekrasov had elaborated
with that organization.
Later in the evening, Kuwaldin,
former menshevik who had been ar
rested in 1924 as an enemy dictature,
denied having committed any coun-
ter-revolutionary acts. He claimed
that he had only criticised some lead
ing Soviet officials.
Odrow, another of the accused en-
gineers, admitted that he had several
times received money from counter
revolutionary organizations

"Thirty-seven militant leaders of

ranging from six to twenty-seven
years. The bloody hand of Musso-

pressed unbounded admiration, and to
which they have given repeated fin

Votes at End of Farce

KANSAS CITY, June 10.-With
the republican nominating convention
but little more than forty-eight hours
away every political knot has been
tied which can bind Herbert Hoover,
secretary of commerce and pet of
the big business interests, to the pre-
sidential nomination. With the pro-
posal to nominate Senator Charles
Curtis of Kansas, for vice-president,
taken in conjunction with the an
nouncement by George K. Morris,
chairman of the New York state dele
cation, that the states sixty votes
will be cast for Coolidge as soon as
the balloting begins but that, if he
refuses, the entire block will go to
Hoover. the nomination of the Secre-
tary Of Commerce passed more or less
certainly into the realm of certainty
The Big Bosses.
The promise of the New York state
votes to Hoover is the last step in
series of maneuvers by which Andrew
T. Mellon, and William M. Butler, poll
tical bosses of Pennsylvania and Mas
sachusetts respectively, have kept
Coolidge as political "ace in the
hole. for use in last minute emer-
gency.

No real effort to satisfy the de-

purposes. The latest sop to the farmer
element is seen IN the move to non.-

president. The Hoover leaders hope
by this maneuver to gag the farmer
element since Curtis is Mississippi
Valley man. He has, besides, made q
very pretty political play, first vot-

then, in the interest Of republican soli-
darity, refusing to vote against the

A.ame Candidates.

Robert Minor, editor of The DAILY
WORKER, in acceptance speech for
office of U. S. Senator, struck the
keynote of the convention with the
declaration that when candidates are
chosen by the Communist Party, the
Party itself becomes the real candi-
date. The office for which the Party
asks the workers support, said
Minor, is the office of overthrowing
the capitalist system.
William F. Dunno, assistant editor
of The DAILY WORKER was nomi-
mated for the office of governor; Juliet
Stuart Poyntz received the nomination
for lieutenant governor; Franklin B.
Brill of Buffalo was nominated for
attorney general and Lovett Fort
Whiteman for state comptroller.
Fhe New York state campaign of
the Workers Party which is expected
to develop into its leading national
campaign brought together delegates
from practically every city in the
state. Among these besides the five
boroughs of Greater NeY York were
represented Buffalo, Rochester, Al
bauy, Syracuse, Binghamton, Troy,
Utica, Yonkers, Schenectady, Elmira
and other cities.
Welcome Delegates.
In his opening speech Of welcome
to the delegates VIM. w. Weinstone,
organizer of district 2 of the Party.
emphasized the great Importance Of
the first statewide nominating con-
vention of the Party following inn
mediately upon the formal launching
of the national Party campaign. "The
campaign in New York state" he
declared, "here in the center of world
Imperialism, in the state in which we
find Al Smith, the hero of Tammany
Hall, in which the tool of big bust
ress, the republican party, works out
its international schemes for the ex-
ploitation of the workers, here in the
city where the socialist party with
it's betrayers to the working class, It's
Thomases, its Hillquits, its Sigmans
and Hillmans-here in this state
the Communist Party will fight its
most aggressive battle.
The state platform endorsed the de-
mands of the national platform and
pointed out that the republican and
democratic parties alike are both serv-
snts of the oppressive capitalist class
of the country. The platform pointed
out that the Smith and republican
Legislature has done nothing to re-
lieve the hundreds of thousands Of un-
employed workers in New York state,
that it has used the police and the
courts to break strikes and to disrupt
the unions of this state. The Walker
administration has been particularly
active in preventing any organiza-
tion developing among the traction
workers at the same time that it has
been in collusion with the Interborough
Rapid Transit, in order to increase
the fare from five to seven cents
and lay the basis for still higher
fare. This has been done by the
Walker administration in collision
