problem to be attacked COM

an ever more dominant philo-
sophy of dollars above men, of
property values over human
values.
The Jim Crow system pays
handsome profits to small
number of men in positions of
economic and political power.
Jim Crow divides white and
Negro for the profit of the few
1t is a very profitable system

Let's take four of the contests
for state representatives, just for
example.
To simplify this business, We'll
call James j. Adduci, Republic
an incumbent in the End dis
trict, Exhibit A.
"James Adduci was arrested
by the police in 1888 with Will
lam BiOff," the Chicago Crime
Commission informs us.
After he abandoned Viii e
slavery in favor of the more lu-
crative shakedown racket, Bioff
became labor racketeer, max
ing sell-out deals with employers
and crushing democracy among
the members of the union he

controlled, the International AL
lance of Theatrical Stage En-
ployees & Moving Picture Mach
inc Operators (AFL).
And now the time asso-
ciate of this labor racketeer is
endorsed for election by the
right-wing majority leadership
of CLIO and AFL, who refuse to
endorse single Progressive
Party candidate.
But let's get back to Adduci,
Willie Bioff's buddy.
Has Adduci abandoned his
fondness for hoodlums? Let the
record answer that question.
The crime commission says
that Adduci was one of the ''key
men" who led "the organized bit
ter fight" in the state legislature
against five bills designed to
strengthen the hands of law en-
forcement agencies in this area"
6 tNCE CLIO and AFL endorsed
- Adduci despite his opposition
to those five bills, it would APP
pear that neither group feels
that defense of the interests of
organized gangsterism is bad
thing for a laW-maker.
In fact, both CLIO and AFL

Street interests dominate the
southern economy. We have
known that our fight for justice
in the South is doomed to fail
unless we carry the bigger fight.
We must act on this knowledge.
AS we take the offensive to
lick Jim Crow, we must keep
our eyes on the principal OPP
position-the big interests for
whom Jim Crow is profitable.
We must not be distracted into
fights against their other vic
tins, their tools-the prejudiced
and bigoted workers, farmers,
and small business people who
have been so warped by their
economic masters that they do
not respond to principled APP
peals.
We must talk to these sad
victims in language they under
stand. If they see a clear pic
ture of the concentration of eco
nomic power in Wall Street;
if they see clearly Wall Streets
domination of Washington; and
if they can be made to see the
high to-day cost they pay
for a system of Jim Crow, we
shall win strong allies in our
fight
The freedom of all workers,
farmers, small businessmen, and
professional people, North and
South, white and Negro, de-
ponds on our final victory in
the fight to destroy Jim Grow.
1t is a fight we must and will
win.

wingers would like their mem
bers to vote for one Republican

hopeful is Peter c. Granata. The

Why did CLIO and AFL en-
dorse them? God only knows.
But one thing we do know: all
three, like Adduci, were key

Chicago's under world from
stricter law enforcement, accord

mission.

that EuZZino, for one, is so well

Coram Martin City Has ST. Voters

Coram-M Martin City becomes one
of Flathead county's sixth largest
precincts as the result of having
ST. registered voters. KalispelPs
No. 4 is largest with 625. The
county seat has eight precincts
and Wnitefish three. Two years
ago the Coram to the canyon pre-
cinct had POI voters.
Meanwhile Columbia Falls
within the incorporated town
increased from 324 registered vo-
tiers two years ago to 458, and
adjacent Columbia precinct went
from 236 to 295.
Other figures are Bolton from
179 in 1916 to 2O3; Bad Rock from
1853 to 1876; North Fork steady
at 35, and Essex down from 81
to 70.
OF Flathead county's 1929 vo-

area. The countys registered vot-
ers were 11,758 in 1910; 9,169 in

Actually the overall county
picture is that though the popu-

in the coming election is not like
it was in 1910 when it was Roose-
