 Second Game Fast
 In the second game, the Moose and Roadrunners started off at top speed and held that pace most Of the way. The B. P. R. weakened in the latter part of the game, and, although they were battling every jump, they couldn't match the Moose sped nor stop the spec tacular shooting of Paul Brown, Moose center, Elmer Lindstrom, ex-Juneau High star, and Claud Erskine.
 Erskine's job was the hardest because he was assigned the task Of covering Lloyd Bayers which he cid so effectively that the carrot topped B. P.

 Brown was highpoint man for the game. He caged seven from scrimmage and one on free throw. Lindstrom chalked up F points for the Paps on four fields and an equal number of free losses. Erskine registered in with four nice field goals Grummett turned in a sparkling floor game and was particularly effective on the defense. He contributed to the general cause by caging two from scrimmage.

 When Gene recently played an exhibition in Amarillo, he was in- vited to talk to 600 beauty opera tors of Texas holding their con- vention here.

In one of his early essays, Dubois finds that the
white man, under his polite talk, is always thinking the
question, What does it mean to be a problem?"
| have found since l have become known in radical
Negro work that colored people, under their PLEASANT
greetings, are thinking, why did you take up the Ne
gro cause?" Indeed, as the question is in no way en-
barrassing to me, they sometimes ask it. I try to answer
but it takes a long time to explain. One thing after an
other occurs to me as a cOntributory reason. And in the
effort to answer this question I find myself reviewing
my many years of Negro work. So I have written this
story that will take nearly half a year Of the AFRO

TOWARD Revolutionary Mass Work R zS LIS f2zy0 1
Becoming Party OF the Workers

TIE resolution of the 14th Plenum of the Cen
trail Committee contains sentence that must
be read and read by every Party member. "Thus
the Party appears before the masses as Party
FOR the workers, but not the Party OF the
workers" just as the resolution poses once
again the basic problems of the Party in the
present period and tells the Party that the es-
sential change has not been made; that we are
still In the same groove, despite some successes
in mass work; that we are still sectarian and
have not made the sharp turn to mass work in
the factories, among the unemployed, etc., so
too this sentence must be read and understood,
otherwise we Will not make the turn in our
work.
"A Party FOR the masses, but not the Party
OF the masses" This is not only a question
OF how we speak to the workers-whether we
address them as they" in relation to ourselves
1t is not only question Of whether we regard
them as friends who can be won for the revo-
1utionary movement or as enemies. It is
question Of our isolation from the masses-as
Party outside the masses having little direct
personal contact" with the masses
If we had this contact; if we talked the Ian
guage Of the masses as result Of the contact:
if we knew what the masses were thinking and
ing their immediate needs, we would not, in so
many cases-yes, in most cases-formulate de-
ntands that do not rally the workers We would
not be abstract, but would be able to express
the inn1oSt desires Of the particular groups of
workers among whom we are working.
Some Experiences.
Why IS this not the case? Because we are
isolated from the masses. A clear example Our
Unemployed Councils work among huge masses
of workers. This is not always organized con-
tact, but daily touch with masses of workers.
Our organization is very poor; we are not able
to draw the workers into regular, systematic
struggles Some time ago we put forward the
demand OF s25 week for immediate relief plus
s3 for each dependent. This did not help us to
effect organization. We reduced the demand to
SIS plus So for each dependent. This did not
help us to move forward to better organization
or struggle. Which was the correct denland2
Certainly the workers are entitled to decent
relief a5 a result Cd unemployment, for which

believe that we intended or were able to take
action, even though they believed that we were
the things we lack in our work. This is what
makes us yet Party for the workers, but not
the Party OF the workers
Or again the Negroes In Harlem, the Party
is isolated from the Negro workers It. is true
that, we talk to them in the Unemployed Coun-
ellis, on the street corners. We have them in
some of the industrial unions and leagues. But
they are a group apart from the other workers.
They believe that we can do something for
them, not that they become firm part Of the
Party and through the Party meet the demands
Of the workers at the particular time.
The proper approach; the understanding OF
the immediate needs Of the workers concretely;
the formation Of the demands not by ourselves
but in direct consultation and discussion with
the workers, so that the demands are the de-
nandS OF the workers, not of the Party for the
workers; the closest personal daily contact with
the workers, which alone will enable us to form
ulate the immediate burning demands and make
us the leaders in the struggle for them-these are
the main shortcomings in our work. This is
what makes us yet a Party for the workers,
but not the Party of the workers.
With the 14th Plenum Resolution demands an
immediate change in our work. This Is the di-
rect. basic work among the masses To obtain.
this basis and do this work, means an immed-
late. abrupt turn In our methods of work This
abohshes the need and use Of letters and cir
cllarH They have no meaning, since each sit
uation must be taken up individually, personally.
1t puts an end to the bureaucratic method of
making decisions without the workers. These
decisions are empty for they can only obstruct
the work.
That our Party will grow into a mass Party
by becoming the Party OF the masses is clear.
1t is our task in carrying out the task set up
by the 14th Plenum and the Communist In
ternational, to realize 1t in the shortest time
possible. This u essential In view Of the spon-
taneous struggle arising everywhere, the demon
stxaticus uf the unemployed against hunger This
is particularly demanded by the inlminence of
war against tn eSoWet Union which will leave
our Party merely declaining against imperial
ist war, but unable to carry on the basic work
in defense Of the Soviet Union

thing was wrong-and that was that we did not

were OF the workers, not FOR the workers

HURLEY CALLS FOR SUPPORT
 OF PRESIDENT
In Wisconsin Address Says This Is Not Time for
 Experimentalists

RIPON, Wisconsin, Oct. 8.-Sec- retary of War, Col Patrick j. Hurley, speaking from the porch of a little school house known as the birthplace of the Republican Party, today called for support of President Hoover as the strong man of Republicanism, the one great hope of getting the United States out of the morass."
 Secretary Hurley said this is not a time for experimentalists. He said Hoover's policies were non- partisan and the reconstruction program is steadily and firmly win- ming battle over economic chaos.
 The Secretary said the Admin istration was for a waterways pro- ject and Gov. Franklin D. Roose- welt, Democratic nominee for Pres ident, is for and against them.
 Local politicians regarded Secre- tary Hurleys trip to Wisconsin as significant as the state has long been dominated by anti Hoover LaFollette Progressive Republicans. The leadership of the LaFollettes was recently repudiated, however.

P PROTECTIVE
 TARIFF URGE
 MADE BY HYDE
Agriculture Secretary De. clares Home Market
 Considered First

SHENANDOAH Iowa, Oct. B. Secretary of Agriculture Arthur M Hyde declared here in political address that the farmers tariff principles of the Democrats will cripple the farmers finances if it is put into effect.
 The Secretary said the United States home market was Is times greater than the foreign market even before the passage of the 1881 tariff bill, therefore it will be more important to protect the home market than attempt ex- pansion of foreign trade.
 Secretary Hyde said there are two million head of cattle south of the Rio Grande in the border state and Old Mexico. The price of feeder cattle on the south bank of the river is $2 hundred and the price on the north bank is $4.
 It is a protective tariff, not the Rio Grande, which keeps that crushing weight from Mexico and being placed on the United States market.

American Voter Quietly Thinking, Declares Price;
 Projections Into Future
By BYRON PRICE

One of the striking things about this campaign is the accommodating evidence that the voter is doing ar extraordinary amount of quiet, earnest thinking for himself.
 This is the more impressive be- cause on its outward and noisier side politics in 1892 has lacked much of the color and excitement Of other years. No party organi- zation has much money to spend on brass bands and torchlight pa- rades, and the rank and file shows little disposition to work itself ur into angry disputees such as those of four years ago.
 Some observers have concluded that the comparative quiet denotes a lack of interest. There are many signs, however, that the re- verse is true; that the popular i'm terest is above rather than below normal, but is manifesting itself in action rather than words.
 In the Maine election the turn- out of voters was greater than ever before. In many other states pri- mary returns reached totals far exceeding expectations. Registra- tion figures have skyrocketed in numerous localities.
 All these tangible facts would seem to point to a record vote in November.

POLITICIANS GET SURPRISES

That the voters are quietly drawing their own conclusions and mean to do something about it with no unnecessary flare of trum- pets, is further evidenced by the number of political surprises al- ready dealt out this year to the prognoSticators.
 In Maine the Republican man. agers apparently did not suspect that majority of Democratic ballots would be cast on election day. In Wisconsin no one fore told the overwhelming upset of the LaFollettes.
 In other words, the politicians in these two instances and in many others failed to realize to what extent the voters were ready to cut loose from previous allegien- ces, forget old labels and register new preferences.
 The number of independent can- didates in the field this year in rebellion against both old parties, the increased activity of such groups as the Socialists and the open appeals being made every where for scratched ballots, all attest to the hopes which have been stirred by this swing toward independent voting.
