Attempts to name Mrs. william
LANCER as the Republican guberna-
torial candidate may have opposition
from at least three sources In the ses-
sions Of the Republican state central
committee, it became known Wednes-
day.
But the three camps are not united
and indications are that Mrs. LANCER
will get the nomination II her hus-
band wants her to have it. All signs
are that he does.
Two Of the three camps are enlist
ing the support of committeeman for
rival candidates. It is not that they
like Mrs. LANCER less but that they
like themselves more.
These groups, according to reports,
are headed by State Senator A. F..
Bonner, Jr., LANCER whip in the SEN
ate and leaders of the campaign to
collect money for his defense fund,
and w. ]. Flanagan, house leader
and erstwhile executive in. the state
highway department.
Both Bonner and Flanagan con-
slider themselves gubernatorial tim

having sought support for his hopes
during the winter and meeting with
no encouragement.
Flannigan's idea is one born OF OPP
portunity and is neither SO old nor so
lusty as Bonzer's, but people who
should know say he has his light
ming rod up and hopes 1t will attract
the electric spark which spells the
governorship.
The third group consists of those
who would like to see harmony re-
stored to the Nonpartisan League and
who would like to present a neutral
candidate. They would seek q Nom
partisan who has not been too active
on either side and who could muster
support from all except the most
rabid. Under his leadership they
would re-unite the sadly divided fold.
OF the three ideas, LANCER Is least
likely to favor the last. Its effect
would be to re-organize him out of
the party and he is in no mood to
loosen his grip any more than is neces-
sary. He has not yet, however, pub
licly indicated that he wants his wife
to be the candidate.
One Of the objections being quietly
urged against the candidacy of Mrs.
LANCER is that she would have less
chance Of winning than man. Her
opponents within the ranks admit she
has charming personality but are
doubtful II it will take" among Ger
tain classes Of both men and women
voters who are chemically averse to
petticoat rule.
Another objection Is that she would
be governor in name only and subject
to remote control" by her husband
wherever he happened to be. The re-
suit might be governorship by proxy
by man in the federal prison, since
present indications are that LANCER
will 60 to the penitentiary as the re-
suit of his conviction in federal court
He has privately indicated to his
friends that he is doubtful Of obtain
ing reversal Of his conviction on ap-
peal to the federal appellate court.
Most significant Of the factors in
volved in the gubernatorial candidacy
however. is the fact that the boys are
a little less fearful of expressing their
views as the result of recent develop
ments here. When both the attempt
ed legislative session and the farm
holiday demonstration fizzled, advo-

All agree that one thing Is certain.
The political situation has been ex-

some Of them will fall In new places
when the smoke has cleared away.

to graft as easily as they could now.
He also made a statement to the

This 7 brought before the next
meeting. At this time the candy
workers were in a wonderful posi-
ton to call a strike because of the
Easter rush season. The officials
were not willing that the union pre-

DECATUR, Ill-In the past
month and a half. we in Decatur
are coming to life. Our unit is
functioning better. 1t seems like
the comrades are willing to do
work that is laid out for them
to do.
In the many evictions that have
taken place in the time mentioned
above, as soon as the furniture is
all set on the boulevard, great
numbers of workers are on the
scene and set it back in the
houses much faster than the
constable can have it set out.
About four weeks ago, three un-
employed families who had been
evicted and bossed about from
one place to another because they
could not pay rent, moved into
houses without consulting Mr. j.
L. Burtschi, who owns more empty
houses here in Decatur than any
other individual. The families had
lived there about a week when one
of Mr.. Burtschi's employees came
out, and seeing the houses ten
anted raised fuss. Immediately,
the fathers of these families were
arrested and thrown into Jail;
first on a tresspass charge, then on
a conspiracy charge. Bond was
secured, and the men are out on
a $500 bond, just because they
wanted a roof over the heads of
their families.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, May 9.-The
first meeting of the four hundred
strikers of the Formica Insulation
Co. workers was held tonight. A
broad strike committee and finan-
cial and publicity committees were
elected by the metal workers. Thirty
picket captains were elected and
picket squads organized for all three
shifts.
The morale of the strikers is high.
The entire plant is tied up, with 98
per cent of the workers on strike,
most of them already organized into
the Steel and Metal Workers Indus

The strikers are demanding a five
cent an hour increase in pay, and
the forty cent an hour minimum
rate for all women workers and fifty
cent minimum for all men workers
(the men and women are on differ
ent kinds of work..
They demand recognition of the
shop committee, time and half

as low as thirty-two cents for wo-

and a demonstration showing the
strength of our union. This was
done at the Becker Candy Co.
The company, thinking they could
break up the union, used many tao
tics. and one was to fire the presi-
dent for no reason whatsoever, and
to make a statement that they
could prove that the boys would not
stick together and walk out on
strike. After notifying the union
Immediately, there was no action
taken, the reason being that the
officials knew that if they worked
against the president they could
Gust him out of the union.
This was accomplished one week
ago. A special meeting was called
and the Board voted for a new
president. Notwithstanding this, the
ex-president made a speech knock
ing the organizers and their crooked
tactics.
Up to the present the union is

done for the men, and all the de-
mands Of the men have been turned
aside by the officials because they
think the boys will wait. Their plan
is to oust all militant members from
the organization and continue in
their graft motions, unless the boys
wake up and cut out this grating.
This is a lesson that all organiza-
tions should heed when being affil-
lated with the A. F. of L. or any
of its subsidiaries.

And when my husband was on

Actioe Workers Put Euicted
Families Back Into Homes

Of course they were evicted A
constable by the name of Thomp-
son kicked in the doors of each
place. He had eight or ten other
constables along for body guards.
I guess he was scared. About 200
workers had assembled and then
speeches were made from trucks.
After the furniture had all been
set out, one connrade asked the
constables to leave, which they
seemed glad to do. In 20 minutes
the furniture was set back into
the house.
The outcome was that the Il
linois Emergency Relief Commits
sion got busy and found the three
families, houses at the rate of SIS
month. Three months had to
be paid in advance before the
landlord would agree to let the
IE.R.C. have the houses. Also,
an agreement to continue to pay
the rent until these families got
in a position that they can pay
their own rent. But they are
having hard times keeping their
lights and gas. This is another
thing the comrades are putting up
splendid fight for.

I certainly hope it spreads further

of every worker who comes into

tional pages. I cannot write or

a place.
NJ. F., Providence, r. I've are
not sure that you are suffering
from lumbago. We regret that we
cannot diagonse your case without
further detail. You might think
that we are dumb: but if you stop
to think that backache might be
due to many causes, you may de-
eide that we have a right to be
cautious. For instance. your pain
in the back might be due to being
underweight. because the lack of
fat in the tissues and around the
kidneys means that there is not
sufficient padding for the internal
organs. When the kidneys or in
testines drop for lack of padding,
you are liable to develop a pain in
the back. The opposite might also
happen. When there Is too much
fat in the tissues, the bones, liga-
mentS and muscles of the back are
put to a strain due to the excessive
weight. Bad posture, faulty stand
ing or sitting at desk will cause
muscular strain and backache. We
know cases where a chronic appen-
dix caused backache for several
years. This was treated as lum-
bago with various pills and pew
ders; but the backache always re-
turned. 1t disappeared after re-
moval Of the appendix.
From your letter (typewritten)
we cannot tell whether you are a
male or female; but we have
told you enough about backaches
to make you realize that an ache
in the back should not be treated
as a disease. The cause must be
found and removed before a COM
plete cure can be achieved. Write
us more fully; giving us as much
detail as possible. Do not forget
to have your urine analyzed, because
kidney trouble is also an geological
factor (cause) of backache.

Mind you, two stewards and an
assistant for poor farm of about
5000 inmates. None of the stewards

wonder the drug department puts

to find old cripples digging with

Election Tricks
In La Crosse, Wis.
BY a Worker Correspondent


LA CROSSE, Wis.-We had our
election for chairman here on April
3. There were two men running
on the ticket for chairman, Henry
Jolivette and a man by the name
of Townsend.
Six months before elections Henry
was in saloons day and night buy
ing drinks Il mean votes-excuse
me). You see, Jolivette has been
chairman here for only is years
and really couldn't make living
by running his farm. He does farm
ing, truck gardening, so that he
can take away the business from
us small farmers.
On election day, Henry was at the
Hall in person, greeting everybody
who wanted to greet him. He
stopped almost everybody that he
knew wasn't going to vote for him
and they had to prove that they
were citizens of the U. S. A.
Townsend, a contractor by trade,
isn't as rich as Jolivette. He couldn't
afford a couple of cars to haul
people to vote for him. Henry had
nine different cars taking people
down. He even had old men, who
had to be supported by somebody
when they walked, coming down
there to vote. Well, he only got %
more votes than Townsend.
