Fuse D, COMERFORD, is well known in Uhicago to all those who keep in touch with the radical moventent. He was special prosecut- or of 1919 Communist Labor Party cases, and when those sentenced were pardoned, Comerford, was one of the loudest shouters against their release. Yet. we find among those endorsing Comerford for the supreme court, the name of Clarence Darrow, an alleged radical and avowed anarchist. Darrow makes a lot of noise about “personal freedom” and he is always ready to denounce tyranny but he is also equal- ly ready to line up with the capitalist class and their most vicious servants.

The short letter acompany- ing the subscriptions, published a few days in the Power Column of this paper, could not help but encourage any member of the party with a drop of fighting blood in his veins, to great- er efforts in pushing the “Build The DAILY WORKER” campaign. If this comrade ‘lying on his back, in a sick hod, could set his mind on building up our Communist daily, how much more could those who are in good health? *e HE National Security League was unnecessarily excited over the visit of Countess Karolyi to this coun- try. Despite her title these sterling patriots feared that her presence here would poison the atmosphere. They discovered that she is known in Hun- \gary as “Red Catherine.” If that is #0 our Hungarian comrades are hold- ing back interesting information from us. The countess is about as “red” as Mrs. Borden Harriman, and perhaps not near so revolutionary as Jane Adams who is supporting Robert M. LaFollette for president and Judge BALL FOR EW YORK CITY T. U.

Senator Borah answered that he would not undertake to explain the policy of the state department since he was in such fundamental disagreement with ‘it, Gompers’ Hostility Doomed. “To what extend do you thing does the hostility of the officialdom of the American Federation of Labor play a role in the continuation of the present anti-Soviet policy by the American government?” queried the writer. The senator was quick to reply: “I think that the attitude of so big an organization as the American Federa- tion of Labor has a very decisive ef- fect upon this policy of the gvern- ment, But I am sure that the leaders of the American Federation of Labor must inevitably come to see that we must have Soviet Russia back into the family of nations in the interests of world peace.

The political significance of the elimination from the political struggle of the liberal party, the centrist party of capitalism, is most important in it- self. The labor party is now the re- cognized left wing of the capitalist machine, and if it continues it rivalry with the tories in being nasty to la- lor, and particularly to the Commun- ists, as it began with the publication for political purposes of the forged letter claimed to be from Zinoviev of the Communist International, its iden- $544,234 in the corresponding six months of 1924, BROWDER WILL SPEAK SUNDAY IN PITTSBURGH (Special to The Daily Worker) PITTSBURGH, Pa., Oct. 31.— The Pittsburgh campaign will close with a grand campaign rally Sunday evening, Nov. 2 at Labor Lyceum on iller street with Earl Browder, editor of the Workers Monthly as the free.

PAUL IN FIGHT FOR F.1. P. igiblinis Candidate (Special to The Dallw Worker) ST. PAUL, Minn., Oct. 31.— The Workers Party, thru its city central committee here, has issued an appeal to the workers to save the farmer- labor party and elect J. F. Em- me to congress, The Workers. Party appeal has been issued at the same time that William Mahoney, editor of the Minnesota Union Labor Advocate, has gone over to the corrupt republican party ! and come out for the republic- an, Oscar Keller, running against the farmer-labor can- didate. Conspiracy is Defeated. The Workers Party appeal exposes the conspiracy of the old party bosses, which has now been endorsed by Ma- honey to keep the farmer-labor party off the ballot in the fourth con- " |gressional district. “The Workers Party immediately served notice that they would not compromise with a capitalist party and would see that a candidate was filed,” says. the statement. “J. F. Emme, farmer-labor candidate for congress, has refused to com- promise with those’ who would sell out the working class movement. From the moment J. F. Emme entered the political campaign he has had the stubborn opposition of such a reac- tionary as Frank T. Starkey, and the one-time progressive William Ma- honey. These men have shown. that they would betray the farmerlabor party into the hands of the enemy. An Appeal to Labor. “Emme, who is a Comfhunist, mem- ber of the Workers Party, stands for working class unity on the basis of a militant fight against the present sys- tem of society in which the capitalist class gets everything and the work- ers nothing except a bare livelih ‘The statement then gives the com- plete program of the Workers Party and urges all workers to support the Communist candidates for president 'jand vice-president, and the farmer- labor party candidates. in Minnesota.
