COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa.-Coun-
Gil Bluffs police again resorted to
dictatorial methods when they inter-
fered with H. w. Smith, Communist
for Mayor, who was invited to speak
during the intermission period to
the crowd, by the management of
the dance hall known as Blachy's

Whine Smith attempted to enter
the hall, he was refused permission
to enter by the police, who following
their usual role attempted to agitate
trouble, and then lay it on to the
Communists.

This was the answer given TO the
committee sent by the National Stu
dent League delegation to Kentucky
by Governor Horton of Tennessee.
The committee had come to protest
against the use of Tennessee officials
in forcing them out of the state OF
Kentucky and to demand guarantee
of safe passage through Tennessee.
Previous to making this statement,
answered by Robert Hall, Columbia
University student, who pointed out
that the National Student League
was not Communist organization.
Governor Horton threatened the
students with arrest on vagrancy
charges if they remained in Ten
nessee. He fatty refused to take any
steps to insure their safety.
Claiming that he could call the
militia out only in case Of a great
uprising" Horton denied the right OF
the students to travel from one state
to another over a Federal highway
and announced that he would take
no action against the use of armed
force to compel the student delega-
ton across the Kentucky state line
"The Governor" he said, cant
take up every case Of assault and
battery. I don't know about Ken
lucky, but you have no right in
Tennessee to go into coal mines
that belong to private individuals
unless you have the owners per-
mission. We have mine inspectors
to make Investigations. Private
property belongs to individuals, and
any one who goes on that property
without permission commits a
crime"
This was an open defense of the
use of armed force to deny the stu
dent delegation the lementaryshrd
dent delegation the elementary rights
guaranteed them under the Consti'
| tuition. The refusal to take actor
against the violation of those rights
emphasized once again the complete

and federal, with the coal operators

Hungry Children.
We peered through the front door
and met the wide-open eyes of little
children staring at us in the dark
ness. Unkempt, sleepy-eyed, hunger
ridden faces sitting around the house
with not shred of clothing on!
Naked! In the richest country in
the world, and warehouses bursting
with food and clothing; but because
the bosses cannot make a profit they
prefer to let the needs of life rot
and decay.

replied"
An embittered Workingclass mother
listened for the first time to our side
Of the unemployment issue and the
need for immediate relief. We told
her that only through the solidarity
of the workers, not only in the
neighborhood but throughout the
city can genuine immediate relief be
wrung from the boss controlled char
ity agencies. And for this purpose
we are organizing demonstrations of
all the workingclass families in the
neighborhoods to march down to the
Home Relief Bureau in one solid
mass, not to beg but to demand in no
uncertain terms food and clothing
for ourselves and our children.
An expression of hope crossed her
face. Here at last is an organization
(the Unemployed CounciD that can
do something real and concrete for
the unemployed workers.
"You can count me in on the dem
onstration," she answered, in a spirit
of comradeship and solidarity for the
Unemployed Council, and one OF
disgust and contempt for the capital
ist-controlled charity mongers.

Roosevelt Is in an election campaign
now, net in pre-convention campaign.
He must consider how croSs-currents in

To put in more bluntly, may not Ger

in State control, give their real effort

The fact cannot be blinked that
politics is not always conducted on the

The "drive-it yourself campaign
plan adopted by the Democrats has ex-
ceptionally interesting poSslbllltles-

Gov. Roosevelt and his advisers, it is
announced, favor very wide decen-
tralization of campaign management,
leaving the problem in each State large
" in the hands of local talent with a
minimum of advice from higher up.
This program follows closely the out
line of the Roosevelt pre-convention
campaign. The business OF gathering
delegates was so much intruSted to local
leaders that the central office in New
York was not even dignified by the name
of headquarters, but was referred to
as clearing house" James A. Far

Roosevelt men appear to think that was

Because of its application to present
and future Roosevelt strategy, it is
worth noting, too, that those who were

Sheriff Sumner to Appear
Before Council With
Funds Demand.

Fight to gain reinstatement of
sixteen deputy sheriffs, comprising
the county road patrol, will be
waged before county councilmen
Jan 20 by Sheriff Charles Buck
Sumner.
Sumner, who lost his patrol Jan.
j, after the council sliced the ap-
preparation from his office budget,
said today he will seek a special al
lotment Of s27,649 to meet patrol
expenses.
His petition will not include the
appointment Of road patrol chief,
a post which, it is known. has
caused alteration among county
political bosses.
Abolition Protested
County residents and organiza-
ton protested abolition of the pa
troll in November, and since then
complaints have been made because
persons outside the city limits are
not protected from crime.
Counciimen were non committal
today when informed Of Summers
proposal. Several refused to dis
cuSs the matter and Sam Pfendler
declared he would express his atti-
tude when the matter comes before
the council"
probably Will Stay"
Pfendler stated that since the
patrol had been abolished, 1t
probably will stay that way"
Herman Rikhof, former police
chief, held the post of road patrol
head, which will not be resta blished
should Sumner win his battle for
reinstatement of the rural deputies.
Automobiles, radios and weapons
used by the former patrol probably
will be disposed of by county COM
nnissioners, if the council refuses
Summers request.
