we didn't think they had the CUTS
to try II. You surely put 1t over
on the poor public, and, believe me,
you did we'll in hiring a Republican

Democratic American Legion Of
ficial and politician to pull the
trick.
With the next Governor an
American Legion member. state tax
board members could do nothing
else If they expected to hold their
jobs.
Nov, your poor 3. E. F., why
don't you howl? They tax you and
sell your home and throw you out
IL you don't pay. but they relieve
a swell social club from their taxes

IF Governor Roosevelt needed any
il thing more from the hands of the
Republicans to assure his over
whelming election next month, then
such actions as that of Henry Ford
will do the trick.
Any strategy employed by the Re
publican machine from now on 0S
merely polite gesture and an out
ward appearance of going through
the motions of making a campaign.
Hoover is licked and nothing re-
mains but ascertaining the size Of
the vote defeating him.
The minds OF the voters are set,
and nothing can change them.
Your paper has done we'll in its eff
fort to have the voters THINK, and
discard the old policy Of adhering
to party simply as matter of form.

book, you hit him telling blow"

TTENRY FORD tries to frighten his
l. l. workers into voting for Hoover
At the same time Charles Sabin of
the Guaranty Trust, backed by a
number of other capitalists, boosts
Roosevelt in a signed advertise
ment.
These are the old tricks of the
owning class. One section urges
election Of a Republican, another
a Democrat. Thus they hope to
split the workers and keep them
from uniting in support of work.
ing class party with a genuine work.
ing class program.
Whether a Republican or Demo-
crat is elected makes no difference
to the money bags. In either case
the capitalist can continue his con-
troll.
Against this united front of the
capitalist class, only one party fights
the battle OF the worker-the Com
munist party. And behind the
Communist party the workers must
rally in this election.

VXTHO said this was a free coun-
wv try? Every man has an equal
right" Boloney. Such men as
Henry Ford have put stop to that.
Now we must vote the way he
sees At. Elect the man he wants.
Or WHAT Probably lose our jobs.
When a man like him represents a
political party, that ought to be
enough to discourage any one.
If he is such good citizen, you
might ask why he works his plant
over in Canada day and night
while here his fellow-men starve to
death. Sure Vote for Hoover and
you need not worry about anything.
You'll starve to death, slowly, but
surely. while men like Ford will lap
in the money and settle down in
another country.

T NOTICED an article in The
Il Times by the Paul Coble Legion
post, opposing the cashing of the
soldier bonus and the hospitaliza-
ton of nonService connected cases
at government expense. If these
men who are members of the post
were out Of employment, fuel, food,
clothing, and shelter, they prob
ably would look on it from diff
ferent angle If they would use as
much effort in doing something for
a buddy instead of taking what little
he has away from him, they could
be a great help.
II these ex-service men were
working, they wouldn't care about
the bonus, II they could remem-
Der back before the war. factory
and most all office work was done
by men. II they would start a move
ment toward dismissing married
women who have husbands working
and replace them with married
men, even at the same wages, few
men would be out of employment
and the bonus would be forgotten.

T HAVE been reading the political
i speeches of the two major par
ties and the editorials in The Times
and the Star, and the more I read
the less know.
Friday night Mr.. Garner proved.
or tried TO prove, that everything
President Hoover said in Des
Moines was not true. and the next
night. Saturday. President Hoover
did the same to Mr.. Gamers speech.
Who are the people to believe. and
II they do not make life study OF
the laws and candidates, where are
they to get the facts?
