VOTE THE TICKET STRAIGHT

The swing of public sentiment towards the Far
mer-Labor Party this year indicates that the whole
ticket will be victorious at the polls November
4th.
The platform of the Farmer-Labor Party has
gripped the workers and farmers and given them
a vision and an ideal.
The masses are growing progressively Disguised
with the antics of the capitalist parties who plead
for their votes election day with saccharine
promises of serving the interests of all the people,
They ask you to vote for "good" men, who have
no principle or platform; whose only aim is to get
into office and live at the expense of the taxpay-
ers. When those unprincipled office-seekers are
elected they always forget the interests of those
who elected them and cater to the parasite classes
the bankers machine companies and their bill col
lectors.
Neither the Republican nor Democratic parties
have platform for the people. They are digging
up fake issues and trying to get the voters excited
the personalities of their candidates Those
candidates may be socially perfect but they stand
for the interests of the ruling classes and should
be given the cold shoulder by the farmers and
workers.
The candidates of the Farmer-Labor Party from
the head of the state ticket to the candidates for
justice of the peace and constable in Sheridan
County not appealing for your votes on the
basis of their personalities tho in that respect they
tower above their opponents. They want you to
vote foT them provided you agree with their poll
tlcal program and are ready and willing to join
with them in helping to solve your problems thru
the medium of powerful, militant Farmer-Labor
Party.
You are urged to vote the Farmer-Labor ticket
Party straight not to vote for any candidate on
its list.
The Farmer-Labor Party of Sheridan County
says to you; if you want two more years of the
Demo Republican ncompetents and ackeys of the
capitalist interests who in office vote for
them. 1t is up to you.
Seeing the swing towards the Farmer-Labor
Party the political confidence men who are now in
control of the county, urging the voters to be
independent by voting for good" men on all
tickets Thus they hope to break up the United
Front of the Farmer-Labor Party sympathizers.
Should few of the Fafmer- Labor Party candi-
dates get elected and the rest be defeated those
lntrlguers hope to win over the successful candi-
dates as they did in the case of Ed. Iverson. This
would not be gain for the farmers of Sheridan
County. 1t would be victory for the French-Pow-
ers-Doiln Medicine Lake combination
Beware of those who talk independence" In
this politic5l fight you must stand either with the
Farmers ticket or with the ticket picked by the
bankers, the machine companies and the petty
parasites of Main Street who are happy as long
as they are allowed to lick the boots of the cap
italists and permitted to gather some of the
crumbs that fall from the tables of the rich
Show your independence by voting for the ticket
put up by the party of your claes-The Farmer
Labor Party.
Vote the ticket straight!

The WASHINGTON SCENE
By LAWRENCE TODD, Federated Press
Observation-Disclosures

Washington (FP)-Sticking its
head firmly into the sand, the
State Department ostrich an
nounces that all is calm in Cuba,
and that in spite of the revelations
made to it by Sen. David A. Walsh
of Massachusetts as to despotism,
graft and universal terrorism con-
Quoted by the Machado dictator
ship the island will continue to ac-
cept Machado as its master.
What Walsh told Assistant Sec
rotary White, head of the Latin
American Division, uSon his re-
turn from a stay in Cuba during
which he investigated the pol:ti-
cal, economic and social conditions
of the people, was enough to make
an intelligent official anxious.
Walsh was convinced, by talks
with leaders and ordinary citizens
both in the Machado and the rev.
olutionary camp, that Cuba is on
the verge of a violent outbreak
that will sweep away the Machado
regime on wave of blood. Power
ty and unemployment, due in part
to the collapse in the world mar
ket for sugar, which is Cuba's
chief crop, have created a desper-
ate state of mind among the
masses of the people. Meanwhile
the police ride down all protest
meetings, arrest and Jail critics of
the government, and then extort
huge sums in graft from legitim-
ate and criminal enterprises alike.

RUSSIANS DON'T PAY GRACE
BONUSES

eff Russia pursues the same course toward her
people that the United States did, her industrial
development constitutes no threat to other nations
If she continues to enslave her people, dump her
manufactured products and raw materials in other
countries regardless of cost and profits as she is
doing now, will invite reprisals."
The above from the Sioux City Tribune is worth
discussion. The assumption appears to be that
Russia will fail unless she follows our example
Probably she will fail if she does follow our ex-
ample.
Whatever Russia gets out of her workers BE-
LONGGS to them. They know it. Their labor is
NOT impressed Instead the workers of Russia
are fanatically striving to make their experiment
success. 1t is their religion. They work gladly
They strive willingly They have motive and
that motive is to make of their country great
workers republic.
Anybody who reads casually must come to that
conclusion.
The overhead of production in Russia is wages
and materials They do not pay capitalists, like

SENATOR SHOCKED BY
HOOVER INDIFFERENCE

But Sen. Walsh came home i'm
pressed with the determination of
thousands of Cubans to regain DO
litical freedom, as they did in the
tragic struggle against Spanish
overlordship from 1894 to 1898.
He is shocked at the indifference
and ignorance of the State Depart
ment in dealing with Cuba. I'm
der the terms of the Platt Amend
ment, he points out, the American
people cannot refuse to carry their
responsibility to protect the Cuban
people in the political liberty thew
won with our help in 1898. He
told White that when the right to
vote is denied, revolution is GER
tain.
This same warning was given to
Machado,l years ago, by labor Of
flcIal S VINO visited him in Havana
They thought they could appeal TO
MS common sense by reminding
him of the futility of attemptino
to maintain a dictatorship in q
modern country. They urged that
If ne would forbid the breaking nm
OF labor meetings and political dis
cussion meetings by his police. he
would become popular as a guar
dian of liberty. Machado shrugged
his. shoulders, denied that he was
strangiing free speech or the right
of workers to organize, and laugh-
ed the whole matter down.
His attitude was that of a tvpic-
al American manager, boss of a
big nonunion plant.

FACT VERSUS FACTS

You may have heard that statistics are dull things
uninspiring except to mathematicians or account
ants Don't believe word of it. Statistics trans
lated into the language of politics can brste with
teroclty, resound with glad tidings or otherwise
lend themselves to incredible transformations
Just look for a moment at one of those little
political discussions of our foreign trade Since
the Hawley-Smot Tariff Act became law; the fig
ures have merely bristled with ferocity; but thew
were being translated by Democrats The party
IN power remained discreetly silent Just recently
1t broke the silence to remark that our FOREIGN
trade Tor August exceeded that in July by about
$S6,OOOOO0. Foreign trade is on the increase"
announced President Hoover. And the words of
glad tldlngs broke loose in earnest This went on
Tor exactly two days, when the opposition suddenly
applied brakes in the form of more statistics.
The President" said Representative James
byrns of Tennessee, "omitted to mention that
while August exports did show this gain over Julv
they were approximately $4,000 900 under our ex
ports for August. 1929, and $79,OOO,OOO below ex
ports Tor August, 1928. Had he carried his COM
parlson little farther, he would have noted that
while the August exports totaled $500 100000 thew
Were more than 100000 last January and
more than $525,OO0,0Q0 in October of last wear.
Tor the first 8 months of 1880, ending with Aug
ust, the total of exports was nearly $500 600 ono
1929" 'ioi'nS u
So far no further comments on the condition of
our foreign trade have been Forthcoming from the
"glad tidings' faction.

such a condition needs no COM
ment. The voters have had enough
of it, they don't like Hoover pros
perity and in the fall election the
mouthpieces Of the Republican
Party are going to find out that
mere froth;ng at the mouth does
not gain votes when put up
against real facts-the right to
make living and the opportunity
to clothe and feed their families
after toiling hard throughout the
year.
So as | said before, it amuses
me to see the brave front put on
by the Republican sheets in this
county, while l know behind the
editorial desk sits a man quaver-
ing with fear of the loss of the
election and cudgeling his mind
for some flimsy smoke screen to
blind the voters to the real condi-
tions which now confront them,
and for which the Republican ad-
ministration as the party in power
is much to blame.

from every section of the county
which predicts veritable land
