The Farmer-Labor national conven- tion at St. Paul, June 17th, is the most important meeting ever called by the farmers and workers of the northwesi. It points to a beginning of a nation-wide campaign for a change in the ways of doing business that will keep the farmers on the farms, The success of that conven- tion is the farmers’ only hope. In fifteen grain-growing states of the west there is poverty and woe almost everywhere that the land has been cultivated. WHntire sections of the bread producing fields show noth- ing but abandonment. Houses are tumbling down. Barns are mere empty rookeries. The relics of for- mer days stand out as sad monuments to the reign of capitalism. Back in Washington where the rec- ords are kept, there is an official de- partment given over to the work of handling agricultural questions. From that bureau comes the information that 600,000 farmers, or 20 per cent of the rural population in the fifteen “ states where cereals are the chief crops, have become bankrupts in the past four years. 50 Per Cent Virtually Bankrupt. A glance at the bulletins brings out the information that such states as Montaha, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota and Colorado are suffer- ing for the reason that an average of about 50 per cent of the farmers are virtually bankrupt. And the end is not yet, for the wave of destruc- tion continues to blow the sands of desolation. ( The only signs of prosperity in the districts where the farmers are being forged to leave their homes, are no- ticed in the extravagant displays of wealth made by those who profit from the salvaging of wrecks, pro- duced by their own hands. It is a bad painting of depraved humanity and the works of money-lenders and Profiteers on the farmers. Big Crops—For Speculators. Prosperity? Yes, there is a sem- Dlance of, prosperity in all of the western wheat-growing states. The fields have produged good crops in the past four years. The grain has gone from the farms into the hands of the millers, gamblers, dealers and others who boast of wonderful busi- ness results because of the crops that destroyed the farmers. . The newspaper writer who desires to learn the truth and get real ro- mance for western stories, can find pages of material in any of the cities where the business of farming the farmers forms the basis of prosperity. Tales of agricultural wealth come from the bankers and chambers of eommerce while the farmers pace the pave seeking work. Misery for Rancher. In a dark and stuffy old room of an ancient lodging house, the tempo- rary residence of many down and outers, I talked with a woman, who was trying to gain fame and secure food and clothing by writing for mag- azines. She had been a school teach- er in a city not many miles west of Chicago, her birthplace. The man of the house, if such a title could be suggested, under the circumstances, was the sole owner of more than one thousand acres of wheat land. He had it stocked with horses and cattle and possessed mod- ern farm implements and machinery. His fair crop of wheat was sold in the usual way, to a buyer. The re- turns just paid for the hauling from the thresher to the railroad station. Prosperity for Business “Man. Two blocks from the little den of poverty, where a woman hoped to work her way ‘to a square meal and a new dress, I met and conversed with a man of the commercial type. He was loud in his comments on the wonderful era of prosperity being e: joyed by the farmers because of big prices for all kinds of farm products, The man knew better. _ What is to become of the country towns, crossroads’ stores and rural stations when thé farmers are gone and the flelds grown over with weeds and thistles? That question is not givén any thought by the political tricksters of today. They are steeped in the foul-smelling, djsease-breeding pools of greed and corporate capital- ism. No Horse in Old Parties. It is out of the qu for any sane person to entertain even a re- mote idea of a ) for the better eoming from the of either of the old political parties. They have had ample time to work out plans to wave the farmers and thereby save the country depending om the farmers for future existence and’ have failed do anything. Farmer-Labor party has a mis- perform, It must deliver the sents 8g es HE presidency of States is a most expensive com- modity. The chance to be president of the greatest democracy on God's green earth is sold on the market and commands @ price running into mil- lions of dollars, Few workingmen have any notion whatsoever regarding the expenses entailed in winning the presidential nomination on either the Democratic or Republican party. The business of becoming president of the United States begins long before the conyen- tion of the party, Most presidential aspirants begin their campaigns a year or eighteen months prior to the national conclaves. i) Costly Preliminaries. The preliminary preparations are very costly. Publicity is the first jitem on the budget, Special articles must be written about the life, char- acter and Christian habit, and mod- esty of the white hope that is being groomed for the White House. Pub- licity bureaus and special agents, po- litical drummers and humbuggers, traveling all over the country must be financed and financed rather lavish- ly. Then the machine must be very well oiled. Golden grease must be applied profusely in order to win the primaries. Soon the convention preparations actually begin. The delegates must be treated royally. Their bosses must be handled with even more care. Suc- cess at the convention is not the end of this costly game. It is only tho beginning of another phase of the affair—and a mighty expensive one at that, too. Between nomination day at the convention hall and elec- tion day in the fall, huge sums pass over the political counters in the cities and in the rural communities. Enter—The Rich Friends. Where is all this to come from? Sometime the presidential aspirant is himself a member of a multimillion- aire family. In that case he has a tre- mendous advantage over his com- petitors who are less fortunate. While the latter have to chase around the country rounding up “angels” and birds of rich plumage perching on the financial posts, the millienaire oandi- date is on the job building his fences for the stormy days ahead. Rich friends play a decisive part in the presidential market. Mr. Frank R. Kent, one of the leading Wash- ington correspondents, now serving with the Baltimore Sun, views the situation in the following light: “There is scarcely any man of presidential calibre who has served in any sort of public office, who has not made .a friend or two among the men of millions, who can be counted upon for financial support, of the kind, for instance, given General Leonard Wood by Colonel Procter in the Wood cam- paiga for the Republican presidential nomination of 1920. the United ] really been ‘made’ a year and a half ahead of the conyention, by means of a confidential contribution of $5,000 or $10,000 to some state boss with a fight on his hands.” Cellar Stuff, Most of this campaigning is done very quietly. There is more truth than poetry in saying that it is almost all “sub-cellar” stuff. Under these circumstances it is extremely difficult to find out the exact sums expended in the average presidential campaign. All estimates recorded are incom- plete and afford knowledge of only a fraction of what was spent in the venture. It is very seldom that the country is treated even to a partial acquaintance with the money-flow in these political contests. It is only when someone is caught spending huge funds promiscuously that the searchlight is turned on the campaign costs, even then we are not told all. Yet, an examination of the incomplete and admitted records reveals the ex- penditure of vast sums of money in the presidential races. MeKinley No Slouoh. The last vestige of the efficacy of the baHot, of popular suffrage as a decisive force in the making of America’s presidents was buried when the United States emtered the arena of capitalism’as a full-fledged imper- falist power. “Hell-and-Meria” Dawes, working under the boss, Mark Hanna, sold William McKinley to té American masses at the paltry sum of a little over 96,000,000. ‘This was the day of rising monopolies. Industry was de- veloping at a very rapid paee. At least the same amount of money was invested by the millonaire capitalists in 1900 in the re-election of McKinley, Roosevelt Expensive. The “trust-busting Theotore Roose- velt won the pregiteney at cost of more than $11,000,000 in 1904. This is a rather surprisingly large sum when one considers the special cir- cumstances at hand. Roosevelt was president for three and a half years after McKinley's death. During this time Teddy succeeded in boosting his own stock with the masses to dizzying heights. Yet so huge a sum was sunk into his campaign to succeed himself. It is especially instructive to observe that, according to the testi- mony uncovered before the Clapp in- vestigating committee im the Congress of 1911, the greatest contributors to the Roosevelt campaign funds were the most powerful monopolists, the biggest capitalists whose interests were protected so effectively during the first Roosevelt term. Apparently the’ gigantic trusts could sée no harm in rewarding their friend Teddy the Trustbuster. Teddy’s Angels. George W. Perkins, then a member of the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co., and a director of the Harvester and Steel Trusts, invested $480,000 in this cam- THE DAILY WORKER clearing house for several contribu- tions totalling $400,000, J, P. Morgan & Oo, gave $150,000 outright; the Standard Oil Company, $125,000; Chauncey M. Depew, representing the Vanderbilts, George J. Gould and Henry C. Frick presented 100,000 a piece; BH. T. Stotesbury, Philadelphia agent of J. P. Morgan & Co., gaye in the capacity of Boston clearing house; B. T. Wainwright acting as the Pittsburgh clearing house, $120,000; and James Stillman, Jacob H. Schiff, Charles 8. Mellen, Andrew Cernegie, Henry H. Rogers, M. Guggenheim & Son, the Clark Manufacturing Co., the International Harvester Co., and the American Can Co., were among other contributors: whose gifts ranged from ten to seventy thousand dollars a piece. The cordial relations between the White House and the Stock Exchange were best evidenced by the fact that atter being sent for by Roosevelt, Harriman contributed an additional quarter Of a million dollars besides his first $150,000, to “save New York State to the Republicans.” Friek’s cam- paign contribution was seund invest- ment frem the business point of view because the president permitted his Steel Corpora: to violate the -anti- trust’ law by alfsorbing the Tennessee Coal and Iron Co. Dui this election the Demeecrats were financed very heayily, tho not as lavishly as. the Republicans. Thomas F. Ryan, one of the leading stockhold- ers in the and tobacco trusts and a director in mumerous industrial, traction and public utility corpera- tions, was the leading Democratic “angel” at this time. In the campaign of 1908, resulting in the election of Taft, the coatribu- tors were practically the same ones as in 1904. When Dotlar Meets Dollar. In the sharp Struggle between Taft and*Rooseveit in 1912 there was a terrific expenditure of money. The Roosevelt pre-convention expenses alone attained the sum of $835,000. Taft spent more than $500,000 for sim- ilar work. This year George W. Perkins admitted having donated $122,000 to Roosevelt's eampaign. Dan Hanna, son of the notorious Mark Hanna, who made McKinley, con- fessed having given $175,000 to this fund. William Flinn and Frank A. Munsey spent $144,000 and $118,000, respectively, on the Progressive par. ty standard bearer. Among the leading contributors to the campaign of Taft were to be |tound Jolin D, Rockefeller, J, P, Mor- ‘gan, Pierre’Du Pont, Henry C. Frick, EB. T. Stotesbury, Payne Whitney, Daniel G. Reid and George F. Baker. The successful candidate, Wood- WHAT IT COSTS TO BECOME PRESIDE $120,000; George V. L. Meyer, $125,000 | Crane, Samuel Untermyer and Henry Morgenthau. Extensive Political Bootlegging. Charles , Hughes, tho defeated by the Democratic party in i916, ad- mitted an expenditure of more than $3,000,000 on his campaign. The same coterie of money sharks that Supported Taft backed Hughes. Among the leading investors in the bad stock of Hughes one will find the infamous Harry F. Sincliar, Vincent A. W. and R. B, Mellon, Payne Whit- ney and FE. B, Aldrich. Particularly heavy sums were spent in the New York gubernatorial elections to put jovernor Whitman over in prepara- tion for the 1916 campaign, No less than half a million dollars, was squan- |dered in this tushion. Jolin D. Rock- jefeller, J. P. Morgan, William B. | W. Perkins gave away sums ranging from $44,000 to $5,000. The Democratic party spent, ac- sording to its own admission, nearly & million and a half dollars to put over Wilson in 1916: Cleveland H. Dodge is on record as having donat- ed $79,000; Edward L. Doheny of Mc- Adoo fame, and Bernard Baruch, who was allowed to clean up millions on an advance armistice notice from Woodrow Wilson, $25,000 apiece, and several others of whom the following are the most prominent capitalists: Nicholas F. Brady, R. J. Reynolds, J.D. Ryan and Alvin Untermyer, gave away at least $10,000 each. The seven million Harding major- ity was bought at an exorbitant price. The reactionaries began their prepar- ations for their great victory by in- vesting more than $2,000,000 in the 1918 congressional campaign. No less than $700,000 were expended on the purchase of the senate seat for Trn- man H. Newberry trom Michigan. DuPont, Spreckels, Colt of the Rub- ber trust, Deering of the Harvester trust made their full and heavy finan- cial hands felt and feared at this time. Buying 1920 Presidency. In the presidential campaign of 1920 there was a banner year for spending money. General Wood alone spent nearly two million dollars— $1,773,000—to win the Republican nomination. William C, Procter, the soap king; William Wrigley, Ambrose Monell of the Nickel trust and the oil thief, E. L, Doheny, were among Wood's staunchest supporters. Lowden, who married a daughter of the late George M. Pullman and inher- ited $80,000,000 in this fashion, spent nearly half a million doHars on his campaign. Adding to the deficit of $1,300,000 after the victorious campaign, one | will find that the Republican party (Spent all in all about $5,300,000 on the nomination of Harding.

Ger ard were among the leading contrib. utors to the national Democratic fund in 1920, More than $3,000,000 were spent on state campaigns in 1920. On the elec- tion of congressmen there were ex- pended $800,000, and $3,000,000 on the various presidential aspirants. All in all, according to the public records, a minimum of $13,400,000 was spent in the last presidential year on political purposes. The big business interests began their preparation for the presidential campaign of 1924 in the last congres- sional elections. It has been talked of for some time in Washington cir- cles that the reactionaries are pre- |pared to spend as much as $260,000,- 000 in order to have Coolidge succeed himself. The huge gifts of R. B. Mel- lon, John D. Rockefeller, George Hast man, William Wrigley, Herbert Hoo- ver, Henry L. Doherty and others to the Republican party campaign fund of two years ago are a sample of what they are ready to invest today im “Si- lent Cal.” Businese Is Business. There is nothing mysterious or gen- erous about the big capitalists invest- ing so much in presidential timber. The principles of campaign contribu- tions are based on the firmest foun- dations, on the very bedreck of souhd and profitable business. We need cite but a few of the outstanding and typ- foal instances where the soundness of such investments was illustrated. The Standard Oil company was or- dered dissolved and a fine of $29,000,- 090 imposed on it. The trust was never dissolved. It never paid one gent of this fine. ‘Woodrow Wilson sent Cyrus H. Mc- Cormick to Russia as a member of the Root mission, Mr. McCormick, head of the Harvester trust, had huge in- tersts in Russ! Penfield, who gave $10,000 to the Wilson campaign in 1916 and contrib- uted heavily to the 1912 campaign, was made an ambassador. For similar reasons Morganthau was made American ambassador to Turkey. The Phelps, Dodge & Co. perpe- trated its outrageous deportation of workingmen and was not punished for the crime, tho indictments were procured. The $79,000 given by Cleve- land H. Dodge to the Wilson cam- paign of 1916 were evidently not for- gotten, And today American capitalists who invested close to $2,000,000 in the 1920 presidential primaries of General Wood are utilizing the latter's gov- ernor generalship of the Philippines in a campaign to strip the islands bare of all its natural resources.

Crowe Torture “Confessions.” Wilson was arrested with his em- ployer, Mott Kirk Mitchell of the Harvard Sohool in the early stages of the case before Richard Loeb and “|Leonard Leopeld were picked up. Robert E. Crowe hailed them as con- venient scape-goats and the days of torturing of innocent men began, which were eventually followed by Crowe's announcement that he had ox- tracted “confessions” of deeds of sex perversion in the school. These “confessions,” which were knocked in the head by later evi- dence, were obtained for the purpose of building up a theory that the school men had murdered the Frank boy to hide sexual crimes they were alleged to have committed. Five Days of “Gold-Fishing.” The story which Aldermen Guern- sey tells of the torturing under the direction of Crowe's men and the de- tective bureau was gotten from An- drew Anderson, editor ef the Kiwanis Magazine and a friend of Walter Wil- son the tortured victim, Anderson is now attending the international Kiwanis convention in Denver. Five days the “gold-fishing” lasted. Five days of slee: ness, threats of murder and vicious beating with a rubber hose. All in a private hotel room in Chieago—in a hotel which the aldermanic investigators refuse to dis- close for the sake of protecting the “good name” of the management. Hung Him Over Window. | On one occasion Wilson was dragged to the window ledge over mitted suicide. Remembering the fate of a young workingman named Joy who pitched out of a lofty chamber filled with po- lice two months ago as a “suicide,” Wilson had every reason to believe they would carry out their murderous threat. - The Shoemaker Punch. . Wilson told his friend that the rub- ber-hose beatings were terrible in the extreme, Powerful men laid on the blows with all their force up and down his body. This was alternated by the “Shoemaker” punch, named after the Chicago detective captain of that name—a short blow with the heel of the palm at the base of the brain. Wilson, the instructor, got the worte “gold fishing.” Mott Kirk Mitchell, part owner of the exclusive Harvard school, and with mbre in- fluential social connections, was treat- ed more easily. Eventually both were freed when the arrests of Loeb and Leopold and subsequent evidence, destroyed “con- fessions.” That there is not one shred of proof even connecting the teachers with any improper sexual practices is admitted now by the police them- selves. Dever’s Empty Promises. Mayor Dever expressed horror at the revelation and declared that vio- lence to prisoners must cease. The sincerity of his promise may be makers’ strike. During the dress- makers’ strike Dever the “Committee of 15” it his co; would stop beating up girls. Instead of stopping, the brutalities increased. Denver Typos Gain $4.50.
