NEARS ITS FINISH
Six of Nine Democratic Rep.
resentatiVes Have No
Opposition.
BY the Associated Press.

RICHMOND, Va, November s.
Virginia tonight neared the end OF
one of the Quietest general election
campaigns of her political history
with a last furry of speech-making
intended to arouse an apathetic elec-
torate.
Nine Democratic members of the
House of Representatives, chosen in
q Statewide election in 1882 because
the States redistricting act had been
put aside by court decision, are seek
ing reelection with the comparatively
simple task of campaigning only
within their own districts instead of
in the State at large. Their conf
dence was bolstered when lack of any
opposition within the party gave them
all the nominations without a pri-
mary in August and in the first
fourth and fifth districts the Re-
publicans failed to put up candidates
in opposition.
Byrd Almost Inactive.
Senator Harry F. Byrd, the only
Democrat with any occasion to make
q Statewide campaign, has remained
almost inactive, leaving organization
work largely to lieutenants and con-
tenting himself with an appearance
at Roanoke last month when National
Democratic Chairman James A. Far
ley spoke there following the Vet
erans' Hospital dedication by Presi-
dent Roosevelt
His PepIlhljocn onpOpnpt aurrapnn
c. Page of Norfolk, who has based
his campaign on the State Repub-
lican platform condemning New Deal
policies, took swing across the State
this week and invaded Senator Byrd S
home county.
The attack of Mr.. Page on the New
Deal has been echoed by Republican
candidates for the House of Repre-
sentatives in six congressional dis
tricts who have waged their cam
palgns criticizing measures taken by
the Democratic administration to re-
lieve the depression
Fighting Ninth" District.
Chief hope of the Republicans, and
fear OF the Democrats, has Centered
in the fighting ninth" district
where Fred c. Parks, Abingdon Re-
publican, seeks to GUST John w. Flan-
nagan, Bristol Democrat incumbent.
Bruce Crawford, Norton editor,
waging campaign on an independ-
ent platform called Communistic by
his opponents has further confused
the situation in this district.
Using a sound truck, Crawford
completed his second tour of the dis
trict this week, while State Demo-
cratic leaders came crowding in to
support Flanagan.
The Democratic campaign, which
brought to the district as speakers
Gov. Peery, who was credited with
"redeeming" the ninth district from
Republican rule some years ago when
ne became its Representative in Con-
gress; Ashton Dovell, speaker of the
House of Delegates, and former Gov.
E. Lee Trinkle reached its climax to-
night when the Governor spoke at
Bristol. sr~

From Earl BrOwder's Speech at Eighth
Convention of Communist Party

"ME ARE trying with all our abilities to
" make our Communist Party into
Bolshevik Party. That means to master
all the lessons taught us by the first Com
munist Party, the most successful one,
created and led to victory by Lenin and
now successfully building socialism under
the leadership of Stain; it means to be-
come party of the masses to be a party
with its strongest roots among the decis-
i've workers in the basic industries; party
whose stronghold is in the shops, mines
and factories, especially in the biggest and
most important ones; a party that leads
and organizes the struggles of all OPP
pressed peoples, bringing them into firm
alliance with the working class; a party
that knows how to take difficulties and
dangers and transform them into advan-
tages and victories.
Are we such Party? Not yet. We
have strong ambition to become such a
Party. We are making progress in that
direction. But when we consider the ex-
tremely favorable circumstances under
which we work, when millions are begin
ming to move, to organize, to fight, when
only our program can solve their problems,
then we must say that we are moving
forward far too slowly.
The tasks of our party today, the
tasks of this convention, have been clearly
and Systematically set forth in the docu-
ments before us for adoption, especially
the thesis and decisions of the 18th PIenum

of the Executive Committee of the Com
munist International, and the draft reso-
luton prepared for this convention by the
Central Committee. My report has been
for the purpose of further celebrating
these fundamental directives and discuss
ing some of our central problems con-
cretely in the light of these directives. All
these tasks set forth in the documents
before us are particular parts Of the one
general task-to arouse and organize the
workers and oppressed masses to resist
ance against the capitalist program Of
hunger, fascination and imperialist war
'They are parts of the one task of
winning the majority Of the tOiIing
masses for the revolutionary struggle
for their immediate political and eco
nOmic needs as the first steps along the
road to prOletarian revolution, to the
overthrow of capitalist rule, the estab-
lishment of a revolutionary workers
government, a Soviet government, and
the building of Socialist society in the
United States.
Above all, do we arm ourselves with
the political weapons forged by the vic
torious Communist Party of the Soviet
Union, with the mighty sword of Marxism-
Leninism, and we are strengthened and
inspired by the victories of Socialist con-
struction won under its Bolshevik leader
ship, headed by Stain. Our World Com
munist Party, the Communist Interna-
tional, provides US the guarantee not only
of our victory in America, but of the
victory of the proletariat throughout the
world"

.BarthOu Said to
Plan Hitler Visit
French Foreign Minister
Going to Poland

PARIS, April 6.-Louis Barthou
foreign minister in the Doumerguet
government, is shortly making a
visit to Warsaw, and probably also
to other capitals of the Little En-
tente, in a tour to strengthen the
system of anti-Soviet alliances I'M
der French leadership.
1t is also authoritatively said that
he will visit Berlin and meet Baron
Won Neurath, Nai foreign minister,
and perhaps Adolf Hitler.
The one point on which the Euro 4
pean imperialists agree is their de
sire to canalize their antagonismss
into common channel of action
against the Soviet Union, so that
this visit of the foreign minister of
the Doumergue war cabinet repre-
sents an important maneuver in the
imperialists' attempt to find a way
to unite against the Soviet Union.
