SEN. NORRIS VICTORY

triumph in the Republican sena-
torial primary in Nebraska was a
painful blow to the Hoover admin
istration, which had done all in
it's power to defeat him. Not
only had the public utility inter
ests, for whom Hoover continually
speaks, modified all their polite
al forces and alliances in Nebras-
ka to drive the progressive leader
from the Senate, bat every federal
official knew that nothing would
so highly recommend MIN to the
White House as a bit of effective
campaigning against Norris.
Norris reelection seems as
sured, and his continuance of the
war against Hoover and his pow
er trust allies will be marked by
more sensational incidents thar
even the past two years. Neither
asking nor giving quarter, Norri!

Moscow, Aug. 24.-Three United
States senators, Burton K. Wheel
er of Montana, Bronson, Cutting
of New Mexico and Alben w.
Barley of Kentucky, viewed the
Russian crown jewels, the worlds
greatest single collection of gems
valued somewhere between $780,
100000 and $300,000,000.
The Americans with a special
party of tourists, saw the magnifi-
isoulIC stones IN thelr royal settings,
displayed at the state bank reposi-
tory. They were strewn about on
tables with not a single armed
communist sentry in sight.
Several English-speaking at
tendants mingled with the visitors
To all appearances the safety Of
the jewels, seized from the Rom
anoffs in the revolution, was il
the keeping as much of the visit
ors themselves as of the harmless
looking Russian guides.
The three senators first wer,
given half an hour alone with tn
wealth of jewels, then the others
81 in all, of the Sherwood Edd.
, tourist party were admitted
spending nearly half an hour il
the fascinating occupation.
The senators left for a two day
visit to a soviet community farr
after which Senators Wheeler an
Cutting will return to Berlin, Pal

REPUBLIC OF FATHERS
THING OF THE PAST

New YOrk.-What has become
of "our democratic institutions"
so firmly upheld in the Fish COM
mittee, Matthew Woll, Whalen
and other forgers, when leading
capitalist politician and diplomat
admits, as James w. Gerard, for
mer ambassador to Germany, adj
mitted Wednesday, that SO men,
whom he named, "rule America Z"
, These SO rulers of America
whose oligarchy Gerard admits,
never retire from office" as do
: the politicians whom Gerard con-
fesses they control, but rule the
government, as we'll as industry,
by their class power as monarchs
L of finance and capital.
: While the capitalist press tries
e to make the masses believe that
y Hoover is at the head of the ma
ton, Gerard not only puts Johr
y d. Rockefeller, Jr., at the head D1
the list of rulers of this country
= but leaves poor fat-headed Hoov
Z err out of the list altogether.
. Who Is Gerard?
n Who is this Gerard, that spille'
I the beans? He is now corpora
z ton lawyer and has always beel
y democrat (Tammany) POLITICAL
of the highbrow breed, and from
u 1918 to 1917 was American am
i bassador to Germany. He ca

= ers of somehow having been col
70 rupted by the willy "Huns," as h
: was run out of Germany by tn
&c kaiser and wrote two book
J. against Germany.
Gerard's naming of the 59 me

ed free trade within the empire an

he bourgeois idea of what "gre
