The naval pact, itself fiasco be-

ALL OUT! Save
DAILY WORKER!
Tag Days Today and
Tomorrow!

The success of the New York dis
trict tag days depends altogether
upon the number of comrades and
workers that will go out and col
lect diligently and loyalty. Every
comrade and sympathizer should
enter the field today and keep on
collecting until late Sunday night.
A mass collection is mass action.
A mass collection constitutes a po-
litical task. If thousands of COM
rades go to factory gates, into the
homes of workers, go everywhere
where workers are to be found, then
this will be a great accomplishment.
We will secure contacts with addi-
tiOnal thousands of workers, many
of whom will for the first time hear
of the Daily Worker.
Mass collections constitute train
ing in mobilizing' our forces and
training in doing mass work. And
this mass collection means saving
the Daily Worker. Every single
comrade must go out and collect a
maximum of dollars. Not a COM
rade must fail in this duty.

Clashes With Fascists.
(WirelesS by Inprecorr)


BERLIN, May 16.-Fascists at
tackled workers meeting yesterday
at Heidenau near Dresden, with
clubs, knives and brass knucks. The
workers defended themselves des-
perately. A young worker received
a dangerous knife-thrust below the
heart and lies in a hospital in a
serious condition. Several workers
and fascists were injured. A similar
collision occurred at Huerth near
Calogne, where fascists held a pub
lie meeting guaranteeing open dis
cussion, but attempted to eject work
ers. The police, of course, arrested
the workers.

AUSTIN, Tex. May 24.-Mrs. Miriam
A. Ferguson, the only woman who ever
served as Governor of Texas, today
the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor, for the second time seeking an
ONCE denied her husband by Texas
Supreme Court ruling.
Mrs. Ferguson was elected Governor
in 1924 after James e. Ferguson, re-
moved from the Governors chair in
1917 by impeachment, was refused a
place on the ballot.
Her announcement followed ruling
by the Texas Supreme Court that Fer
gllson was ineligible to hold office. The
court also declared an amnesty act en-
acted by the State Legislature during
Mrs. Ferguson's administration and de-
signed TO restore Ferguson's political
rights was invalid. The bill had been
repealed by subsequent Legislature.
Mrs. Ferguson announced she would
accept her husbands platform with
only one change"
Instead of promising to veto all
liquor legislation as he promised, want
to strengthen our liquor laws and see #
some Improvement cannot be made In
enforcement" she said.
Would Get Husbands Aid.
eve prohibitionists have suffered
much encouragement recently, and ]
want to see one honest effort to outlaw
the liquor trafic before we give up the
struggle"
Mrs. Ferguson was defeated for re-
election by Gov. Dan Moody, attorney
general during her tenure. She gave
notice that In event Of her election she
would receive the aid and advice of
my good husband"
"If consulting with ones husband be
treason, then make the most Of It," she
said. ''It appears that one of the things
wrong with this country now is that
we do not have enough of the old-fash-
toned fireside talks like our fathers and
mothers used to have"
Mrs. Ferguson said she favored enact
ment of laws barring from office all per-
sons who used intoxicating liquor I'M
lawfully obtained" and would require
from all persons elected to Office an
AFFIDAVIT that they had not had drink
of any bootleg intoxicating liquor"
within six months before the date Of the
affidavit.
Ferguson, meanwhile, filed his motion
for rehearing on yesterdays ruling
