DEMOCRAT CHOICE
is AN EXPLOITER
Lehman, Store Owner,
Cut Needle Wages

! NEW YORK.-In nominating Her
bert H. Lehman as its candidate for
| Governor of New York, the Demo-
cratic Party and its friends pointed
proudly to Lehman as friend OF
Labor. The New York State United
Front Communist Election Campaign
Committee today revealed facts
which prove that far from being a
/ friend of Labor, Lehman, together
with Socialist and labor misleaders,
actually forced upon thousands OF
Needle Trade workers wage cuts and
worse shop conditions through a So
called arbitration.
Acting as arbitrator in the last
garment workers strike in New York
City. Lehman put through a wage
cut of 10 per cent. Morris Hillquit,
Socialist candidate for Mayor of New
York City, acting as counsel for the
workers, and David Dubinsky, Pres
ident of International Ladies Gar
ment Workers Union, assisted him IN
putting through the wage cut. In
addition. Lehman and the others
aided the bosses policy Of discrimi-
nation against the best militant
workers in the cloak-making indus
try.
Is Lehman Disinterested?
Lehman has been praised dis
interested" man in the recent gar
ment workers strike. But Lehman
as a large stakeholder in department
stores and decidedly interested in
slashing garment workers wages tc
get the garments cheaper.
The house of Lehman is on the
Directorate of practically every de-
partnent store in New York City. Ir
addition Lehman owns a number OF
clothing chain stores. The house oil
Lehman controls 5000 shares of AS
ISOLATED Dry Goods Corporation
10000 shares of Federated Depart
ment Stores, Inc, II, 200 shares OF
Gimbel; 1000 shares of R.H. Macy's
to mention only few of such hold
ings. Stores such as Abraham &
Strauss, Filene's, Lord & Taylor. Nc
Creerys, Bloomingdales. are included
in the Lehman department store
holdings. In these large stores, thou
sands of workers are employed at
the most miserable wages.
Lehman and the Negro
Herbert H. Lehman, son of a slave
holding father helps to exploit the
Negro workers through his member
ship in the National Association fol-
the Advancement of Colored People
an organization, which William L
Patterson, staunch leader of Negro
and white workers, and Communist
candidate for Mayor of New York
City, proves is used by number Of
rich Negroes for the purpose of ad-
vancing their own interests at the
expense of the Negro workers. Pat.
terson, once a member Of the Cali
fornia-branch of the N.A.A.CP, re.
signed disguised by its reactionarS
policies towards the Negro workers.
In sharp contrast with Lehman. Is
rael Arnter, the Communist candidate
for Governor of New York, has beer
in the forefront of the struggles Of
Negro and white workers against
capitalist misery. AS opposed to the
rich man Lehman who fights for ano

BELIEVE COUNTY
TO SHOW $4,000
REGISTERED HERE

When registration closes at mid
night tonight, Imperial county will
show a total registration of more
than $4,000, officials at the county
clerks office estimated.
With only few remaining hours
in which to register in order to
be eligible to vote at the November
8 election, matters pertaining to
registration have occupied the en-
tire time Of the county clerks
office.
New registration and transfers
will total 1000 when the books close
tonight, according to an estimate
by Edward H. Law, county clerk,
who declared that registration for
the presidential election has been
unusually heavy.
Explaining a point which has
been misunderstood in many quar-
tiers, the county clerk said that
those who were eligible to vote at
the primary election, even though
they did not then cast a ballot, are
still eligible for the general election.
Those who did not vote at the
primary election and do not vote
at the general election, however,
will be stricken from the great reg
lister, and must re-register in order
to vote at another election.

JAIL POPULATION
CONTINUING AT
NORMAL MARK

That particular branch of fate
which rules the destinies of the
Imperial county Jail seems deter
mined to keep the semi-permanent
population of the bastille at a low
ebb, as demonstrated in a glance
at the receipts" and "disburse-
ments" of the institution yesterday
afternoon and this morning.
An adding machine was entirely
unnecessary to obtain the total of
rs prisoners who remained in Jail
this morning Roy Whitney, 38,
sentenced by Judge W. H. Lorenz
of Calexico to pay fine of $3.50
or serve rs days in Jail for reckless
driving, was the 18th prisoner.
For a while yesterday afternoon
the total reached SO, because of
five federal prisoners returned here
to serve federal court sentences for
violation of the immigration laws.
Frank Reading, deputy United
States marshal, remedied this sit
uation this morning when he took
five more prisoners to San Diego
for trial by the federal court.
Three were Chinese and two Mex
leans.
Of those sentenced at San Diego
to serve terms here three were ar
rested in Imperial county. Anton
10 Lopez Herrera, "a, sentenced to
three months, and Pedro Garcia,
%, sentenced to six months, were
the only ones not arrested In this
county.
The others are Conception Gar
cha, "a, six months; Antonio Nav
AFRO, II, 30 days; and Victoriano
Valenzuela, 80, three months.

JUNIOR BIBLE
CHAUTAUQUA TO
BE HELD HERE

While on vacation this summer,
Mr.. and Mrs. v. E. Butterworth,
ministers of the local Christian
church, hit upon a plan to give
wholesome entertainment and in
struction to the children of this
community. The plan was tried out
in Boise, Idaho, and it met with
enthusiastic response from the
parents, and the children them
selves begged to continue it all
winter.
The Junior Bible Chatauqua,.
which is the name decided upon,
consists of story telling, play,
stunts, magical tricks, singing, yells,
display of talent, hand work, Wis
ual instruction, drsll work, and
wholesome entertainment given
to the children by local leaders of
various talents. For an hour and
a half each Saturday the children
are given a rousing inspirational
time. 1.-The plan is strictly non-sec-
tarian," Mr.. Butterworth stated,
land it is hoped the parents of the
community will investigate our
idea and give hearty support to it's
success this winter" The first meet
ing of the j. B. G. will be held
Saturday at $50 a. m. at the Chris
tian church.

mewed Mrs. Purr, the lady cat. But
no one could be angry with Little
Bub very long. So they forgave him
and he went down the back steps
with his toy fire engine, which now
had no more water in it.
Little Bub was hopping over the
vacant lots back of the bunny's
hollow stump bungalow, when he
met Uncle Wiggily himself.
Where are you going, Unkie
Wig?" asked the rainbow boy.
Il am going to look for some
nut trees that I may tell Johnnie
and Billy Bushytail, the squirrels,
where to go to gather nuts after
school," said the rabbit gentleman.
May 1 come with you?" asked
Little Bub.
yes" answered Mr.. Longears,
you may. Where have you been,
Bub?"
II have been watering the ami
NAL ladies'" answered Bub.
Hal Ha" Laughter the bunny
uncle, I have heard of watering
flowers, but I never heard of wa
tering ladies'"
Well" said Bub, did BOTH"
And when he told what had hap
pened Uncle Wiggily laughed
again. Then he and the little boy
went to the woods. There they
found on the ground many prickly
burrs Of the chestnut tree. Inside
the prickly, sharp, stickery burrs
were the brown nuts. But Jack
Frost would have to open the burrs
with his cold fingers before the
brown nuts would tumble out for
the squirrels to eat.
isn't this fun!' cried Little Bub,
hopping about and helping Uncle
Wiggily gather the nuts.
Lots of fun said the rabbit
gentleman. Put all the stickery
nut burrs in pile, Bub, so john
ME and Billie will know where to
find them after school,"
Il will" said the rainbow boy,
and he laughed for joy. But all of
sudden there was a rustling noise
in the bushes. Some one is COM
ing!" said Little Bub. Maybe it's
the squirrelsl"
But it wasn't. Who It was I

SEWING CIRCLE NO LONGER

John SHARPE WILLIAMS, former
y senator from Mississippi, who died
yesterday had an enviable reputation
throughout more than quarter of CEN
fury of service in congress, as a parlia-
mentarian, orator and politician. He
added to his reputation in his valedie-
tory, when he declared to the assembled
senate that he had declined to seek re-
election because, Il had rather be a
hound dog, baying at the moon, than re-
main longer a member of this sewing
circle"
There was an honest opinion from an
honest man and nobody, as far as the
record goes, dared to challenge his state
ment.
The senate of his day of course had
such members as Cole Blease and tom
Tom Heflin, but even these gentlemen
occasionally showed signs of consider
able intelligence
1t is well that the Sage of Mississip-
pr was not a member of the present
senate, which includes such a splendid
adornment as Huey P. (Kingfish) Long,
of Louisiana, or Williams would have
had to revise that Sewing circle" phrase.
Huey P. has succeeded in giving the SEN
ate all the atmosphere of low-comedy,
slapstick burlesque.
1t is quite likely that the senate these
lays could not produce as much intelli-
gence and sound sense as the Lambs or
the Friars clubs.
The decadence of the United States
senate, which set in when the constitu-
tics was amended to provide for the
popular election of senator's has reached
a low ebb. 1t may go even lower, but
one wonders how it can.
Popular election of senators has sue
ceeded in giving us a senate, collectively
speaking, almost as ridiculous as the Of
ficials the direct primary has foisted on
the states. These are two progressive"
acts that are responsible for many of
our present political woes.
Wonder if Mr. Bush will blame Mr..
Hoover for what the Yankees did to him

UNCLE WIGGLY AND THE NUTS

Mrs. Longears WAS having a par
ty of some of her animal friends
one day to look at a new window
box of flowers Uncle Wiggily had
made But while the ladies were
sitting out in the yard, beneath
the flower box, drinking tea, all of
a sudden they were showered with
water. At first Mrs. Longears
thought her husband was water
ing the flowers, but Mrs. Twisty-
tail, the lady pig, grunted:
mol see who it is! Oh, such a
trick"
who is it?" asked Mrs. Long
ears. IF it is Baby Bunty or any
of our little rabbits"
mo, it's a boy" grunted Mrs.
Twistytail, who was standing on
her chair so she could look into
the room through the window over
the flower box. Its a small boy
and he has a red, toy fire engine"
1T must be Little Bub," said
Mrs. Longears. Has he red cheeks,
and blue eyes and golden hair?"
Yes answered Mrs. Twisty-
tail. This boy looks like the rain
bow in a soap bubble"
That's Little Bub all right"
said Mrs. Longears. ooh, Bub. what

you looking for Uncle Wiggily to
go adventuring?"
mo, 1 am watering your flow
ers with my toy fire engine" said
Bub. But if Unkie Wig is here
I'd like to go adyenturing with
him"
He isn't here" said the rabbit
lady.
Then I'll water the flowers some
more. They are thirsty" said Lit
tie Bub, who had gone in the
bungalow the back way. Then he
made his toy fire engine squirt
more water on the blossoms in the
box.
But Little Bub held the rubber
hose of his toy fire engine too
high so that a stream of water
squirted right in the face of Mrs.
Twistytail as the lady pig stood
on the chair looking into the bun
galow window
"Oh, clothespinsl' grunted the
lady pig, and she fell right off the

get hurt at all. Up she bounced
like a rubber ball, saying:
"You mustn't do that again Little
Bub. It's naughty"
Nom, l WON'T answered the
rainbow boy There isn't any more
water left in my fire engine. But

"Oh, no. MOI" cried Mrs. Long

A SERMON WE NEED

GRABBING and grouching over our lot
" in life is quite general with the rank
and file of us, especially in these days
when so many of us feel that we have
good reason for grabbing.
Like the majority, we hate sermons
and the disagreeable job of standing by
while somebody else points out our
faults to US.
However, there was a sermon in last
nights issue of The Press which all of
us could use to good advantage. Some
of our readers, perhaps, read it. Many
more may have passed it by.
To these latter we suggest that they
dig up last nights paper and turn to
page six and the sermon. 1t is not head
lined sermon or anything like it, but
the sermon is there just the same.
1t is a three column picture of Jack
Doty, the "Oven Man, and brief out
line of who and what he is.
The subject matter of the outline is
not going to be discussed here except to
say that it is difficult to find anything
wrong with the world after reading it.
We may have our ills and our woes,
but comparing ourselves with Jack Doty,
most of us will agree that our lives are
one long vacation without single cloud
in our sky of happiness.
You'll not be able to read of Jack Doty
without figuratively doffing your hat to
him and feeling considerably ashamed of
yourself for kicking or grabbing.
