Replying to the inquiry in the ural
Happenings of last week, we suppose
that in logical reasoning the main street
Of a town named Warland would be
Warpath, but since the street bears no
marker, we cannot state positively that
this is the case We think, however
that this question bears all the ear
marks of dirty dig We really be-
lieve that a petition should be circu-
lated to change the name OF Warlana
to Marmonica, and then we could cal

From a newspaper item it is learned
that ]. j. Kindschu, maintenance man
on the state highway in Idaho between
here and Bonners Ferry, is to be re-
placed by Mr. Gines of Bonners. A
number of other changes especially
in the highway department have eff
fected or are contemplated there fol-
lowing much agitation in that line
since last election. As Will Rogers says
"all we know is what we read in the
papers" and these changes may be as
much to conform to the wishes Of the
present incumbents as to those of the
job seekers, but to your correspondent
it appears to smack strongly of the
pork barrel desire. This may be right
and proper with change of political
party when confined to the white col
lar jobs, but when laboring man who
has handled his work with the eff
cheney and the visible results shown
by the work of Mr.. Kindschu is sub
ject to the changing politics, it's going
too far How long will 1t be at this rate,
before every day laborer for the state
will be obliged to campaign vigorously
for his senator, congressman, governor
or ward boss and rise or fall with them?
II such jobs are to be elective let's
place them on the ballot.

sentiment seems to be in favor of the

here that the measure will in no way
increase taxes. and the hope that it
will make our connection with the rest

possibility appeals to most Of the resi-
dents.

up in Peru against the government
Of Sanchez Cerro. CerTo came into

Of his candidates came into power
and to terroriEe workers in the COM
ing elections.
The Communist Party is running
Otto H Wangertn, railroad worker,
for Mayor. Most of the candidates
for aldermen in the various wards
were ruled off the ticket by the
Thompsen-Lyle forces who did not
want the workers to have the right
to vote against either Of them. For
City Clerk on the Communist ticket
there is Lydia Bennett; for City Treas
urer, August E, Poansjoe, a Negro
worker, Both Lyle and Thompson
made special appeal to the Negroes.
More signatures are needed to put
these workers on the ballot for the
the deadline and every worker in
Chicago is urged to rush In his sig
natures, to collect as many as he can
up to that date. Unless every party
unit gets on the job there is 9 danger
that the Communist ticket will not be
put on the ballot. This is one of
the most important elections ever
held in Chicago, and every class con-
scious worker should put every ounce
of energy he has into the drive for
signatures, and then into the cam
paign against the capitalist gangster
politicians.
