1t is all over but the count ing. This was the feeling in the city and in the state as a whole today as thousands of electors went to the polls to cast their votes. Leaders of both major parties continued to be confi- dent of victory while the sO- cialist organization felt as- sured of q record vote this year. All over, the state chair men of town committees and ether leaders of their respcc- tive organizations were pre- dieting large votes despite the rain which started off the day.
 Democratic weather" was the cry this morning as the rain poured down. Republicans claimed that the Wct-day slO- gan of the democrats had gone out of style long ago with the growing tendency to supply automobiles to bring voters to the polls.
 It was estimated that twenty thousand voters would go to the polls in Ansonia, Derby, Shelton and Seymour. If this figure comes out true to the prediction a record for the lower Naugatuck valley in an Off-year election will be estab- lished. The prediction is based on the increased registrations and the militant mayOralty campaigns waged in Ansonia and Derby.
 In Ansonla, Mayor Peter Hart, republican,, is seeking re- election today. He is opposed by Fire Chief James J. Minch, democrat. The latter has been prominent in democratic cir- cles for the past 20 years. Both candidates have centered their attacks in the doubtful first ward.
 Derby is normally a demo, cratic stronghold. However, the republicans were confident today that they would elect n 2. c. D.. mayor in the person of Judge Archibald Dufficld. Judge Dufficld ran for the of- flee of mayor two years ago when the presidential election was on and lost out by only 225 votes. The democratic can didate is ex-Mayor George F. Sullivan.
 Shelton is the only Valley town in Fairfield county that the republicans felt absolute ly sure of carrying today. In- cidentally, the man running for mayor today in Shelton is Dan- iel B. shelton. He is the inc cumbcnt at this time and Is a republican. Mayor Shelton is being opposed by ex-Mayor Frank V. Crofut, democrat. Mayor Shelton cnd ex-Mayor Crofut opposed each other two years ago and the former won out by very close margin.

He filed a report with the police. Latest reports were that the car was still among the missing. "Joy- riders" were first blamed for the theft but now 1t appears as if somebody more interested in getting the car did the job.
 Seymour's financial house is to be set in order, its back tax es collected and other i'm provements in administration will be made by State Tax Commissioner William H. Hackctt.

Philadelphia >>>NeeV York

WE HEARTILY greet the report of the
W Philadelphia District of the Party IRE
ported in today's issue) on its success
full achievement of the $500 quota for
the Daily Worker drive
The Philadelphia District not only swept to
whlrlw-nd finish in the drive, but with Boshevik
enthusiasm sets itself the task of raising another
81 900 within the next few weeks
Surely. this must be an example to every Party
District throughout the country.
And it also provides q lesson and an instructive
contrast with such an important district as the
New York District
For while Philadelphia has achieved 100 per cent
New York lags badly behind with a 2s per cent
fuIfnment of its quota after eight weeks of the
drive have passed!
NEW YORK has a quota of $4,000 of the 100000
~ needed to ensure the life of the daily for the
coming months. New York has all the possibilities
of fulfilling this quota. There thousands of
members of trade unions and other workers or
CARNATIONS upon which the Party can count for
support if they properly approached. There are
thousands Of workers, sympathzers, who will gladly
help.
How has the New York District taken advan-
tage of its favored position? Its report on the
drive issued several days ago reveals that many of
the largest and most influential mass organizations
in the city have contributed single cent to
the Daily Worker drive in the past eight weeks!
The Party District has not to it that such
organizations the Finnish groups, the Italian
groups the Workers School. the John Reed Club,
the Associated Workers Clubs, the various other
cultural groups, the trade unions have contributed
their proper share. But it was by drawing these
mass organizations into the drive that Philadelphia
went the top, New York comrades!
THE example of the Philadelphia comrades is in
structive and should be studied by the New York
comrades and all other Districts. The secret of
their success, say the Philadelphia comrades lies
in the way the District concentrated on the drive
in the way the District involved the whole Party
and every mass organization in raising funds
through meetings affairs. picnics collections in the
day to day work of the Party.
If the New York District sets at once to a seri-
consideration Of its failure to fulfill its tasks
in this drive then there is no reason why New
York should long remain behind Philadelphia
Comrades of the New York District, to work.

A Bankers Budget

BUDGETS are pretty dry affairs. But the
IL budget of New York City, the record of
which weighs thirteen pounds, is some
thing that every worker, professional and
small business man should understand.
Careful examination of it will show that 1t is
class budget, budget drawn up in the interests
OF finance capital of the Wall Street bankers of
this city. The actions of the Board of Estimate
in discussing the budget Saturday only lend addi-
tional proof to this fundamental contention Of the
Daily Worker
At its last meeting the Board of Estimate de-
cded to raise the budget by almost $4,000 OoO This
was in order to guarantee that the law which
says that there shall be $25 100000 in a reserve
fund for the bankers must be met. At the same
time the Board adopted cuts in the salaries of city
employees in the lower wage brackets
This is the fundamental policy OF the city gov
eminent in both its Democratic and Fusion wings
to restore" the citys credit and pay the bank
ers to the last nickel at the expenses Of the
masses Of New York City.
Unemployed relief is to be slashed A number
OF city employees have been laid-off Wages of
city workers have been cut in a number of in
stances Essential social services like that of educa
ton, hospitals, Ife-saving. have been cut Cul-
tural services like these of libraries and museums
have been reduced
but the $l1S,OOO,00O In debt service to the bank
remains!
To guarantee the bankers that they will not
lose cent, the bankers agreement has been raised
to the original S25,0OO,00O demanded by the 'qaw I"
the same law that DEGREES that you are thrown out
of your house If you have no money with which
to pay rent.

SIGNALS and small business men in the city must
protest. This can take the immediate form of public
protest at the open budget hearings next Thursday
and Friday. Meetings and demonstrations of New
York workers should adopt statements against this
budget.
But the most significant protest will be a power
tu Communist vote at the polls on Election Day
A vote for the Hammer and Sickle is a vote for
the Communist proposal for a moratorium on the
debt service to the bankers, for suspension of the
bankers agreement, releasing these funds for I'M
employment relief for restoration of the 1882 salary
level for teachers and other city EMPLOYEES for
a sharp increase in the expenditure for essential
social services.
A tremendous Communist vote will be an effec-
tive factor in the whole struggle for social insur-
ance, for social security.

Put Nygard on Ballot!

WORKERS organizations in Minnesota
w and throughout the country should inn
mediately lombard Governor Floyd Olson
with protest kilograms demanding that
Emil Nygard, the Communist candidate in
the Sixth Congressional District, be put the
ballot. The Crosby unit of the Communist Party
has already wired the protest Of the 1900 electors
who signed their names to Nygards ballot petit
ton
Nygard is the victim of the Farmer-Labor ma
chine who have ruled him OFF the ballot because
they fear that he will defeat their own candidate,
The Minnesota attorney general has by legal trick
cry, declared that Nygard's name cannot go the
ballot because his petition was filed too late"
This is the most blatant disregard Of the facts,
and establishes new high in Minnesota for poll
teal chicsnery against the Communist Party Ny
CARDS petition has all the signatures required by
the Law. 1t filed on the date legally required,
Nygard was thus ruled of the ballot without even
the semblance Of legal excuse
The msneuver Of the attorney general was de-
liberately cooked up to defeat Nygard, The Olson
clique realizes that Nygard, because Of his militant
leadership Of working class struggles and because
of his exposure Of the anti working class policies of
the Olsen machine, would get the votes Of the work
ers and farmers, who bitterly resent the use Of
the militia to break the strike of the truck drivers
In Minneapolis
To let Olson get away with this would mean
defeat for the workers of the whole country, who
know and respect Nygard for his militant actions
in behalf of the workers and farmers. A wave of
protest will force Olson to put Nygard the ballot
And Nygard in Congress will represent not only
the workers of the Sixth Congressional District of
Minnesota, but the entire American working class
in its counter-attack against the hunger deal of
the capitalist ruling cclass.

BRUSSELS, Oct. 21.-The meet
ing here of the seven goId-blo

against English and American i'm

The gold-bloc nations-France.
Belgium, Holland, Gutenberg. Italy,
Switzerland and Poland-will en-
deavor during the conference to
come to some sort of favored nation
agreement with one another in
order to meet the terrific COMPETE
ton of industrialists in England
and America, who. through the
wage cuts and lowered standards of
living enforced by the MIRA. and
the devaluation of the dollar and
the pound, have been able to reduce
their production costs and thus set
loose on the international market
millions of tons of merchandise at
prices with which the gold bloc
countries, in spite of the lowered
incomes Of the masses of their own
populations, found themselves un-
able to compete.
AS examples Of what desperate
straits some of these industrialists
are in, French foreign trade dur
ing the five depression years
dropped from 100000 100000 francs
to 10000 100000. and Belgian trade
