WASHINGTON, Deo, 12,—Who ac: tually got the millions of dollars spent by the republican national committee in the Coolidge campaign will never be known in detail. by the public, Only, fragments of information have been divulged in the two volumes of typewritten reports sent to the senate committee which was directed to in- vestigate the financing of the presi: dential contest. But from the bits of confession which may be pleced to- gether in those pages is told a story of suppression of criticism, of financ: ing of influential persons in ‘traveling expenses,” and of payment to Negro papers and foreign language papers tor “goodwill advertising.” Cash Is Convincing.

Raymond Robins got $1,500 for trav- eling expenses, and Dan G, Smith, J P. McArdle, Jos, Ryan, and Thos. B. Healy of the “labor” brigade dipped deep in the trough. They had a mod- est rival in Harold Lord Varney. former conspicuous I. W. W. and in T. V. O'Connor and Daniel J. Keefe.

Ninety-four foreign language papers shared the distribution of “advertis- ing” money, from $30 to $650 per pa- per, in the last week of the campaign while the Negro press got two pay- ments ranging from $100 to $1,600 apiece for about 20 publications. The Polish women’s alliance, the Omaha Daily Tribune with its German edi- tions, “Bishop A. J.

Chairman Albert Johnson is sponsor for the measure, which is a compromise of half a dozen introduced by various members. Among other things, the new measure removes the 5-year lim- itation upon the right of the immigra- tion bureau to deport an alien who has been convicted of a crime, The committee is trying to provide for deportation of all aliens engaged in traffic in narcotic drugs, as well as those engaged in prostitution, but the language of the present draft of the bill also permits the secretary of labor to deport any alien who shall =* -GREATEST TONIC for lowered vitality makes your blood tingle with joy the mi you taste it, Take a wine glass full of before meals and note the improvement of your health in a few days.

Pax- ten Hibben were added in the re- opening of the hearings by the U. 8. army board of inquiry. The play is neither so dramatic nor so entertain- ing as What Price Glory, the Broad- way war play which has sold out the house into February. The plots of the two plays are equally slight, although the military officials are introducing a tremendous amount of extraneous heavy material. Did Not Reach Decision Counsel for Capt. Hibben, Col John J, Bradley and Major Joseph H. San, filed a letter from Senator Borah em- phatically denying that the senate in- vestigating committee had reached any decision whatever on Communist activities in the United States. Judge advocate general, Hibben’s prosecutor, used the statements of the department of state inspired by Secretary Hughes. making it appear that'the Borah com. mitee had found radical activities a menace in the United States whereas that was merely the belief of the state department. ’ Not Disreputable Lawye Major San, who represented Hibben at the hearing, protested against the irrelevant examination of Charles Recht, counsel for the Russian gov- ernment, at length on his belief and on usage of such words as anarchist and Bolshevist. Recht denied the charge of Bomb Squad Detective Louis Herman, that he was a “disreputable lawyer who took only anarchist cases.” The hearing will be continued later in the month at the Engineers’ build- ing, 30 W. 40th st. New York City. Postponment was granted, after de- bate, in order to allow Hibben’s coun- sel to read and correct errors in the 1,000 typewriten pages of testimony already given. Cleveland Workers Get Behind Daily Worker for 1925 Cleveland Workers Party members are getting behind the drive to insure the DAILY WORKER for the coming year.

The Wall street robbers bringing so- cialism to Germany in the form of gold ard bayonets, In its election campaign the 8. P. of Wisconsin plays strongly upon the sentiment of German workers and yet in this unique perversion of Marx- ‘am, Berger tries to justify the en- slavement of German masses by American imperialism. In the election campaign, Berger substituted the issue of strug- gle by an issue of “Honesty.” It seems to be the case of a thief raising the ery “catch the thief.” The Third Party Puzzle, There is another matter that taxes the sluggish mind of “Comrade” Berger. The third party slogan un- der which they have lured the party into supporting LaFollette is now de- manding solution, And yet his erst- while friends are now silent on the question. Vainly does Berger plead for some action and looks longingly into the eyes of his new affinity. LaFollette maintains a cruel silence and Berger is up against it, realizing that his scalp is lost if he does not enter into some kind of an alliance in the coming elections. Nobody Cares For Berger. The socialist party today is de moralized and politically aead with its leaders waiting for the first. oppor- tunity to desert their party and to per- .fect any kind of an alliance. The farmerlabor party having been de- stroyed by the LaFollette swoop. there remains only one. group with which the §. P. party can unite and that is the left wing of the republicar party represented by the christian gentleman Cummings, who, in his christian spirit of tolerance is will- ing to unite even with the socialist sinners, following the biblical tradi- tion that only the people without sin ‘| can throw the first stone. It is ap- parent that even this alliance if per- fected, will be very weak and will not be able to withstand the attack of the all-powerful Governor Blaine, be has the endorsement of LaFol- lette, The 5,000,000 Votes Myth. The socialists make a proud boast that the 5,000,000 votes cast for La- Follette are essentially socialistic or sympathetic to the socialist party. It is natural for the servant to have a pride for the achievement of his mas- ter. Especially if this happens to be Berger, the humble servant and “hand- kerchief head” of the progressive movement, however, their idle claim is shattered when one examines the results of the Wisconsin campaign. Of the 350,000 votes cast for LaFol- lette in the state of Wisconsin, the S. P. received only 45,000. A very small percentage indeed and coming nostly from Milwaukee. And with Wisconsin making such a poor show- ‘ng, surely it is a height of arrogance to make a claim of 5,000,000 for the socialist party, 8. P. Wreck on Sale. The leaders of the socialist party aving led the organization on the ‘ocks are now ready to desert the party and perfect any kind of unholy ‘ifance. The Intest flirtation of Mayor Hoan with LaFollette indicates that they are willing to go the full way, not even stopping before the al- Nance with the republican party ma- chine, There is no difference today | between the republican Governor Blaine and the “socialist” Congress- man Berger.

Lathrop former head of the children’s bureav of the U. S. department of labor, whe spoke here on the proposed federal child labor amendment. Miss Lathrop was supposed to br speaking for the amendment, but her interpretation of it would make it fu- tile. “Opposition to the amendment by the farmers is ridiculous,” said Miss Lathrop. “It never was the in- tention of the amendment’s framers to have its provisions apply to work done by farmer's children about the farm.” There are more children working on the farms than in any other occu: pation in the United States, according ‘|to the United States 1920 census fig- ures. No Leopold-Loeb Mercy for Them. COLUMBIA, 8, C., Dec, 12,—On ¢ cold winter morning, Dec. 6, at day- break, two more workers went to their deaths in the ‘South Carolina electric chair, They were Mortimer N, King and Frank Harrell, young cotton-mill workers and confessed slayers of Maj. Samuel H. McLeary. Desperate and hungry, without funds and in dire need, the two young millworkers held up McLeary at the point of a pistol. The major resisted the two men and was killed in the en- counter. An appeal was made to South Carolina’s “praying governor” for mercy, but it was refused. Both were ex-service men, Both had been forced to work in the cotton mills since early childhood. Both were un educated and without friends or money. They died realizing that Clarence Darrow had spoken truly when he said, “No murderer need die if he has the money to hire a good lawyer.” Judge Upholds Sandwich Picketing.

The new location has been decided upon after some months of search For the past year it has been obviou: that the old quarters were too smal’ to care for the increasing volume of business.
