TELL IT TO ELSIE!

Irene is % and holds

Yet every time she mentions
the POSSIBILITIES of stepping out

There are ridges to support the

tivities in Fukien province are
steadily increasing and evidence has
been given out that the Reds ap-
parently are attempting to consoli-

preparing a concerted move against
some major city within that area,

The above report is quoted in full
because this plain admission by the
capitalist press about the extent and
strength of Soviet Power in China
is very significant. Formerly the
capitalist press refused to report
about the activities of the Soviets
in China unless they are connected
with some incidents about foreign
missionaries in China. Nov, Chinese
Soviet activities as such are being
reported. Evidently the movement
has developed to such an extent that

Against the Wall Street candi-

Will Graham, Negro worker, for
the U. S. Senate. Graham, who is

On the charge of sedition, because
of his active participation in the
organization of the unemployed, is
the candidate of the Party of class
struggle, against the segregation
and oppression Of the Negro masses

Graham runs directly against one
of the most prominent figures of
American Imperialism, Dwight W..

Street, and U. S. ambassador to
Mexico.
Albert Heder, Morris LANCER,
Dominick Flaiani and Samuel D. Le-

Morrow, the Wall Street choice
for senator, has just returned from
London, where he has been helping
to prepare for the next imperialist
war for more profits and against
the Soviet Union. The other capi-
talist candidates have similar rec
ords to their credit. The Commu-
mist Party platform includes the de-
mand for work or wages, unemploy-

TEXAS RANGERS
LET NEGRO BURN

Praise for Them.

Additional details Of the burning to
death in vault of the county court
house here Of George Hughes,
Negro, by lynch gang Friday aft
ernoon connect more closely the
Texas Rangers and the police with.
the murder.
Hughes was on trial, charged with
an attack on a white woman, at
the time the crowd of lynchers
gathered. The trial was a rail
Soaded affair, with the jury Sc
lected in few minutes, but the
first witness of the prosecution was
on the stand when the trial was
interrupted, and word had been
passed around that there was no
real evidence against Hughes.
Leave Hughes to Death.
At p. m. Judge Carter stopped
the trial, when it became fairly
clear that conviction would result
in a legal scandal, and proposed
change of venue. The crowd then
made its attack, and the deputies
and Texas rangers locked the Negro
in the court house vault. The build
ing was set on fire and the roop-
ers calmly walked out and left the
Negro locked in the vault, knowing
that he had not chance in the
world to live through the fire.
Governor Moody now denies that
he ordered the troops not to shoot
1t the lynchers. But there are many
who saw Captain Frank Hamer, in
command Of the rangers in the court
house, receive the message, and
heard him turn and say gleefully to
Judge Carter: "This means that the
mob will get the Negro"
Moody Prefers Legal I-'er.
Moody himself, in his statement
washing his hands of the killing,
excuses the lynching Of the Negro,
,rejudging him guilty, and only
,ondemnipg the lyncherS for not
citing the state do it. Says Moody: !
