Socialist Convention
Warned Of Nonsense
By Political Rivals
Party to Name Slate
And, Adopt Platform
At Session Tomorrow
BY BLAIR BOLLES.

The Socialists, who have NOM
mated 10 presidential candidates but
never elected a President, opened
their 11th national convention this
morning at the National Press
Club auditorium, where Maynard
Kruger, professor of economics at
the University of Chicago, delivered
the keynote address. 1t was an his
toric occasion-the first convention
ever held by a national political
party in Washington. The party S
keynote is that democracy today in
the United States is suffering ero-
sion.
There was studied calmness about
the $50 delegates, who knew well
that their candidate for the presi-
Dental elections this fall will stand
no chance of victory.
The 1910 convention opened on
the 23d anniversary of the party's
special convention in st. Louis
summoned to register its opposition
to American participation in the
World War. During the war Eugene
Debs, the leading Socialist of the
time, served a penitentiary term

Washington Socialists planned to
ask their partys national conyen.

for the District through the adop-
ton Of a pro-sut1rage resolution, it
was announced this morning by
Kate Barbash, Washington secre-
tary, at party headquarters, 1914 I
street NV.
The proposed resolution states in
part:
"The denial of the right to vote to
the citizens Of the District of Co.
lumbia is wholly inconsistent with
American ideas of democracy and
the Bill Of Rights. Local suffrage
and the right to vote for Representa-
tives in Congress. as well as for
President and Vice President, are
essential in a Government which
purports to represent the will of the
people and to allow orderly and
peaceful change and progress in ac-
cordance with the peoples wishes.
"Only in the totalitariai countries
can a counterpart Of the situation
existing in the District of Columbia
be found, and even these countries
recognize the need occasionally to
consult the people, albeit through
controlled elections.
"The Socialist party calls on Con-
gress to answer the petitions of the
District of Columbia and grant its
people the right to vote, free from
restrictions of wealth or property
and without regard to race or creed"

convention this morning voted to
seat Joseph Caldwell, who was Mr..
Debs' penitentiary cellmate, as So
cialist delegate from Rhode Island.
The Socialists will adopt their
own platform tomorrow, the same
day on which they name their 1910
slate. Nobody doubts that the
presidential nominee will be Nor
man Thomas, ordained Presbyterian
minister, who carried the Socialist
standard against Hoover and Smith
in 1928, against Hoover and Roose-
welt in 1882 and against Roosevelt
and Landon in 1886.
DR.. Kruger himself may be the
vice presidential nominee, although
he will not be 35 until January 16,
His speech this morning stressed the
domestic economic problem of which
unemployment is a symptom. 1t
made this observation:
"If there is one thing that we
ought to know by this time, it is
that unemployment and democracy

Krueger said. The capitalist sys-

expand" But there is a new
frontier" He explained:
ut is chronological frontier and
social frontier on which infinite
progress is possible. But the capi-
talist system cannot cross that
frontier because it can no longer
walk on its own feet. Instead it uses
the Government as a crutch on
which it limps along toward a de-
clining national income"
Under the Republicans or the
Democrats, DR.. Kruger said, the
country is headed toward state
capitalism. Instead of crop control,
he asked for a system that would

Indian, in Tribal
Rega|ia, Brings Pupils
Lesson in Safety
Thomson School Students
. Told to Use Faculties
Thut Saved His Ancestors

,1nterspersed with frequent war
whoops and clmaxed with a tri-
unphal dance around an imaginary
campfire the traffic safety lesson of
Running Deer, 22-year-old full
bboded Mohawk Indian, yesterday
held 300 children at the Thomson
School spellbound.
Clad in his tribal costume, COM
plete with a headdress of eagle
feathers, brown deerskin jacket,
leggings and moccasins, Running
Deer, whose Christian name is Ray
Trail, told the children to use their
eyes and ears when crossing the
street, just as his ancestors did
when encountering the hidden dan
gers of the forest.
Observe the danger signals in
the Street--a moving automobile, q
red light, the warning signal of a
pollceman--and be careful" he said,
because danger waits for no one"
Tells of Safety Interest.
Running Deer, who has completed
two years of study at Syracuse Uni
versity and whose ambition is to
be a lawyer, told reporters he first
became interested in safety when
he was counselor at a schoolboy
patrol camp last year in JohnStown,
Pa.
His plan was to teach safety to
children by comparing the dangers
encountered by his forefathers in
the woods with modern dangers
confronting children when they
play in the street. i
He took his idea to the Johnstown
division of the American Automo-
bile Association, where it was ap-
proved, and then to the Newark
Automobile Club, which sponsored
his appearance here yesterday in
cooperation with the District
branch of the automobile associa-
ton.
Earns Education Fund.
BY his safety lessons before
schoolchildren. he hopes to obtain
sufficient funds to go back to COL
lege. Although he could get =
free education in any one of the
Indian schools in New York, he
explained that his grandfather is
opposed to his receiving any money
from the Government for that pur-
pose. He lives in an Indian res
ervation about rs miles from the
Canadian border in New York.
This was Running Deer's only
safety demonstration in a District
school. He left last night for New
ark, where he is appearing in the
schools there. He hopes, however,
to be on hand at the schoolboy
patrol celebration here on May IL.

The most authoritative tip-off ]
can give you on how Saturday S
game between Michigan and Penn
sylvania has aroused this country
side is to tell you that it even has
Fielding H. Yost excited.
The old Man" is as excited as
freshman and it wouldn't be
surprising to see him show up at
the stadium with a new raccoon
coat, feather in his hat, and a
determination to join the cheerlead-
ers and show the customers how
the victory march should really
be sung.
This is amazing, as we'll as a
tribute TO the magnitude of the
game, because Mr.. Fielding H. has
been around football a long time,
and has seen many a crucial" con-
flict come and go. 1t was just
81 years ago back in 1889, that
Michigan's beloved athletic director
saw his first kickoff of a college
game.

Stanford Favored
Over Troy

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 25. CUP)
We're offering a history essay to-
day because it's very likely history
will be repeated at Stanford sta
dium tomorrow afternoon when un-
beaten-untied Stanford meets the
unbeaten but tied U. S. C. football
team in the Pacific coasts foot
ball titanic of the day.
Seven years ago-remember?-
there was a somewhat similar stu
alton.
U. S. G. then was on the crest of
prolonged winning streak which
had carried through some % games
and several seasons. Oregon State
was first to put crimp in that
streak as IL iron men from Corval-
lis battled the mighty Trojans to
scoreless tie early In the season.
Mid-season brought the Stanford
U. S. G. game played in Los An
geles. Stanford went out that day
and licked the Trojans, 1877, and
new 'gridiron power was born.
1t lasted through 1933-34 and 80,
and then Stanford fortunes de-
clined
The Stanford fortunes hit rock
bottom last year when the team
failed to win coast game. Tiny
Thornhill lost his job as coach and
Clark Shaughnessy came out from
Chicago
And if the men who set the bet
ting odds are right, tomorrow will
see 1888 repeated, a new champion
crowned, an old champion felled be-
fore 10000 fans on the Palo Alto
turf.

third period drive.
San Diego Bees, composed o
State college freshmen, varsity re
serves and ineligibleS. started tn,
game with a rush which threatened
for a time at least, the clear rec
ord of the junior collegians.
With Borden and Warren alter
mating at the ball packing post
the San Diegans moved SIS yard:
to score in ten plays after the
opening kickoff and take 60 lead
Borden missed the try for extra
point.
San Diego penetrated to the Arat
35 IN another drive but the junior
college defense tightened and the
State college offensive begged as
suddenly as it started.
A San Diego tumble paved the
way for the first El Centre touch
down in the second period when
Raab recovered a muffed punt on
the State "a. Sandez ripped off
six yards at tackle, Dickerson COL
lected four and Poole passed to
Raab for the score
Poole's attempted placekick was
blocked.
Ell Centro drove 70 yards to the
San Diego six yard marker as the
half ended.
The Arabs capitalized on another
San Diego tumble in the third
quarter, after pushing the State
collegians deep into their own ter
ritory, and put the ball in play
on the Is yard line.
Morgan picked up four, Sandez
added four and Poole ran to the
five yard line. Dickerson scored
on a plunge through center. Poole
passed incomplete in a try for point
after touchdown.
Ell Centros final tally came in
the fourth quarter after San Diego
was driven into the shadows of
the goal post and forced to punt
from the seven yard line Ingle
blocked Borden's punt and Raab
recovered in the end zone.
George Kreuger added the extra
point with a placement.
Ell Centre threatened once more
in the fourth period, moving to
the San Diego three yard line with
stringers in the lineup.
The entire Central line and back
field played outstanding football

Fifteen of the % major undefeated,

one is sure to drop from the ranks,
two others seem likely to falter and
four have about a $3.50 chance of

The No. l game of the nation,
Michigan VS. Pennsylvania at Ann
Arbor, sends two perfect record
elevens into battle and one is bound
to drop out, unless the outcome
is a tie, and both lose their posi-
tons in the select circle.

TO after are Detroit University and
Rutgers. Detroit tackles a tough
Villanova eleven, and Rutgers goes

TODAYS SPORT PARADE

at teams from there a long time
I played against Pennsylvania, too
Know when? in 1896.
Way back in 1896. Heaven only
knows how many football games
Mr.. Fielding H. has seen since
that time. Freshmen have come
and gone at Pennsylvania II times
since them. There have been wars
and revolutions and stretches of
happiness since the young Yost
walked out against the Quakers
from Philadelphia. Now. tomorrow,
another team of youngsters from
that school is meeting a team that
Mr.. Fielding H. loves even more
than he did the one he played
for at Lafayette. And he is ner-
vous, jumpy, excited, and eager
for the whistle.
This should be a great football
game" he said. THE best in the
country, and maybe the best of this
year for many years. The setting
is perfect, An ivy league leader,
undefeated and united, meeting a
big ten leader, also without blem-
ish on its record, and each has a
wonderful backfield man."
Did Mr.. Fielding H. really con-
slider Tommy Harmon wonder
full back? AS a man who has seen
them all for more than SO years,
did he class the Wolverine ace as
one of the games greats?
He is one of the finest football
players of all time" Yost told me.
There isn't thing he can't do.
His running has been so sensational,
and has been played up so much,
that many think he is just ball
carrier. That isn't true. Harmon
is one of the finest taCklers I ever
saw. He can block with the best
when he has to, and he is de-
pendable passed and punter. And
he loves to play, and that means
SO much"
I tried to interest the old man
in the question of whether great
blocker made a great runner of
whether a great runner made his
blocker look good. I wanted his
opinion on how much EvaShevski
meant to Harmon and vice versa
But he wouldn't come right out
and commit himself.
1T takes both to make great
combination" he said. Il will say
this though-a great runner makes
it much easier for blocker. BY
his timing and his ability to choose
the right moment and spot for his
moves, a fine runner makes a
blocker much more effective. But,
of course, the reverse is true"
So, guess, I'll just have to watch
Evashevski and Harmon in action
myself, and figure out which is the
more vital. I'm honest enought
to admit that my mind is already
half made up. If the blocker was
the key man why aren't all the
Michigan backs keeling pace with
Tornado Tommy?

Imperial high schools

passing and speed plays.
Brawley will enter tonight's game
