Il know perfectly well that my
father will often speak TO us just

We shall always know when he is
speaking, but we shall have to be

iokesters on the other side, just as
there are here"
The son explained that Lady
Doyle. in her years Of intimacy with

infection Of his words, and his
habits Of speech would guard them
against spirit fraud. or any ill-timed

SENATOR Love
ASKS SUPPORT
FROM LEAGUE
Hoovercrat Candidate
For Governor Speaks
To Donn Crowd
By HUNTER

DONNA, July "a iefr-handed
effort to coax Hidalgo Good Gov
eminent leaguers to come into the
democratic primary and vote for
him was made by Senator Thomas
Love in a speech here last night.
Speaking before a crowd OF 800
or 400, one-half Of which was ON
posed of women, the candidate for
governor had as his chief text,
conscience in and out Of the dem
ocratic party"
Based on this, his doctrine was
for democrats TO vote for democrats
until their consciences bothered
them. then TO follow its lead and
vote for whomever they felt like.
Adhering TO such a policy. he said,
has made him what he Is today,
1.-THE only candidate officially adj
judged a democrat by the courts"
He referred to the action which
forced the placing Of his name on
the primary ballot.
Shackles Off
When the supreme court decis-
ion was made in his favor, Sena-
tor Love asserted, IL took off the
shackles and allowed democrats TO
vote as their consciences dictated"
After getting all this before the
voters, the prince Of HoovercratS
then proclaimed himself as an
'anti-machine democrat" and the
only candidate in the race who
would declare himself as such.
Whether he was speaking in Hidal-
60 county or Bexar county or in
the lair Of the Tammany tiger, he
tics and RS cmfw cmfw emf nm
said, machine politics and ma
chine politicians all looked the
same to him. He is against them,
he declared, and always III be.
High corporate interests" in
most instances dominate the ma
chimes Of this state, Senator Love
asserted. calling upon voters to
elect him governor and rid the
sGate OF the sinister influences
which dominate the affairs OF Tex
as"
Still For Hoover
Love, who voted for Hoover and
Dragged about it. said that he had
not changed rs tune. He sa, that
his conscience told him to and that
a similar thing happened in 1924
when he refused TO vote for jim
Ferguson when he had his wife
running for him"
Il am against the brass collar
in politics. ! am convinced that
when any man or woman is bound
to vote for a candidate Of a party,
regardless OF who he IS. IL involves
moral turpitude and strikes at the
foundation Of government.
Loves next attacks were directed
against the methods. which he said
were followed in some sections OF
candidates paying poll taxes OF the
voters. He said he would stop this
practice when, and If, elected gov
ernor.

LIKE KINGS TESTERS
BY CYRIL BRIGGS

| r IKE kings testers clowning it be-
A fore their imperialist masters,
the Negro petty bourgeois Headers"
are today indulging in the most fam
tastic antics in their frantic efforts
to stem the rising tide of revolt
among the Negro masses and to de-
tract them from the Communist
Party and the revolutionary strug
gle it wages against lynching, jim
crowism and all forms of racial and
economic oppression, against unem-
ployment and imperialist war.
Not only do these misleaders
serve the bosses by deliberately at
tempting to cover up the economic
nature of Negro oppression and by
minimizing the lynching terror of
the bosses, ignoring the tremendous
mass unemployment and suffering
inflicted upon the working class and
particularly the Negro worker, but
they go far astray tC set up fake
issues with which to divert the
Negro masses from the struggle
against imperialist oppression.
Of these kings testers the one
who no doubt receives the largest
hand from his bosses for his strug-
gle-diverting antics is Kelly Miller,
dean of liars and ancient prostitute
intellectual and procurer for the
bunch of exploiters in control of
the republican party. His latest
stunt is a dramatic "open letter" in
the Negro bourgeois press addressed
to the national baptist convention
which convenes this month in
Chicago. With a mighty flourish
of rhetoric and an asthmatic indig-
nation he calls upon that body for
"a ringing declaration" a rousing
resolution "that would reverberate
round the world" and even, no doubt,
into interplanetary space. And a
ringing resolution against what?
Why, against indifference to pro-
hibition enforcement, if you please!
Not a word of protest against the
savage lynching terror and the ap-
palling exploitation inflicted upon
the Negro masses in the South! Not
a word in defense Of the hundreds
of thousands of Negro workers and
farm laborers thrown on the streets
to starve and constituting of the
eight million unemployed the sec
ton most bitten by hunger forced
as they re to exist on the verge
of starvation even when employed!
Not wheeze in protest against the
shameful humiliation inflicted by

A FEW HOURS WITH

shed with our greetings and answer
ing Of questions at a meeting, a
number of Red Army men came
over to the platfrom and asked that
we come to their barracks tomorrow
morning. July II at 9 a. m. we ar
rived at the barracks of the 18th
regiment of Azerbaighan Territorial
Section of the Red Army.
Upon entering the club we find
about two hundred Red Army men.
The comrade from England speaks
first. He shows the role of labor gov
eminent in war preparations. Jugo-
Slavian comrade exposed the fascist
role of his government. come last, |
show the role played by American
Imperialism in Far Eastern situa-
ton and in general war prepara-
tons. Great cheering and enthusi-
asm takes place at the end of our
greetings. Now questions begin.
what sort of army is there in
America?" "What is the relation be-
tween officers and privates in the
capitalist army?" etc, etc.
At the end of questions from diff
ferent parts. of the hall one Red
Army soldier after another rise to
answer our greetings. They assure
US that not only is the Red Army
ready to defend the Soviet Union
against every kind of imperialist at
tack but at any moment call of the
international proletariat it is ready
to ONE to help them in their strug-
gle against their own imperialism.
These come of the peasantry and
proletariat who during czarism were
illiterate not only politically but also
in reading and writing. These same
men now know and understand the
international situation in which the
Soviet Union. finds itself and being
truly an army of the international
proletariat give their promise to
fight against imperialism whenever
called upon to do so in the interests
of proletarian revolution.
After half dozen rank and file
soldiers completed their answers to
US, the political commander of the
regiment says few words, His
words are sharp and clear. This
powerful individual who has been in
the ranks of the Bolsheviks many
years prior to the October Revolu-
ton. This man who has been in mill
tary service for the interests of the
proletarian state since October, 1917.
He puts before his comrades the
question they are in the Red Army
not only for@military purposes but
also here in the Red Army we must
prepare the best workers for the col
lective, farms, the best technic2 Il
workers for industry. The Red Army
be and is in the foref,on ranks of
Socialist reconstruction of Soviet
Union. We will do all in our power
to help fulfill the Five Plan
in four years. Cheers, singing, ends
the meeting. Here one sees not SOL
diers butcinternationai fighters for
the proletarian revolution.
The meeting is closed. We are
taken around the barracks to be
shown the way the Red Army men
live. Clean barracks, large, airy
rooms, barber shops, work rooms,
