} Wednbaitay, Janiary 7, 1925 WORKERS, BOTH WHITE AND BLACK, DISFRANCHISED Qualified in Theory, But Denied in Practice (Special to The Dally Worker) WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.—The nation is. still filled with non-voters, accord- ing to a table of percentages on the recent presidential election, compiled and made public today by the repub- lican national committee. Eighteen of the 48 states failed to poll 50 per cent of their qualified voters, West Virginia, home state of John W. Davis, led the nation in voting efficiency, polling 72 per cent of her maximum, and Indiana was a close second with 711-3 per cent. Wyoming was third’ with 69. South Carolina Lowest. South Carolina showed the least voting efficiency, polling but 6 per cent ‘of her 779,991 persons over 21 years of age: Georgia and Mississippi ‘were next low with 12 per cent. States that polled above 60 and be- low 70. per cent were: Illinois, Wis- consin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Del- aware, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and California, States that polled over 50 and less than 60 per cent were: New Hamp- shire,’ Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Michigan, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Montana, Nevada and Oregon. North Little Better than South, In the 40 per cent class were: Ver- mont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Arizona and ‘Washington. In the 30 per cent class were Maine and North Carolina. * Under 30 per cent were all the rest, Virginia, South Carolina,, Georgia, | Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ala bama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisi- ana and Texas. “Democracy” is thus shown to defeat, in practice, all real expression of the majority—the toil- ing masses. Actors Meet to Consider Radio Danger to Their Craft NEW YORK, Jan. 6.— Altho radio broadcasting of first rank singers and performers by Victor. Talking. Ma- chine Co. and the American Telegraph and Telephone Co. arrangement does not directly concern the Actors’ Equity assoctation, the detors’ union is-very much concerned over the pow- er of radio to keep people away from the theater. Equity has provided “that if a radio microphone is placed in the footlights for broadcasting the performance, the manager shall then be charged by the actor for an extra performance” with the idea of making play broadcasting too expensive for managers. An open meeting of Actors’ Equity is scheguled for Jan. 26 to consider the danger of radio to actors and arouse the theater to concerted ac- tion. much fun! .year with a clean. your “sweet cookie” bring it to The to be There'll be dancing, wary that kind!) and Oh!

Altho candidates are put up in only eleven wards, the entire city organ- ization of the Workers Party is throw- ing itself into the campaign with vigor and enthusiasm. Captains have been, appointed for each ward and several party branches are co-operating in putting across-a rousing Communist campaign. Important Issues. Te candidates are running on a platform covering every issue of genu- ine interest to the workers of Chi. cago. The questions of housing, tran- sit, schooling, among others, which local politicians have been using as a political football, are dealt with in this program in a practical manner that offers real relief to the workers of Chicago. The Workers Party is not interested in appealing to any other element than the working class, and its entire campaign is to be run on that, basis. It offers the workers no short cut tc paradise, but a realistic solution to the immediate and ultimate problems that face them under the capitalist regime. Candidates Are Workers. The candidates are all workers with records in the American labor move- ment, men who have again and again given evidence of their devotion and loyalty to ‘the working class. The full program of the Workers Party in this election and a brief biog- raphy of each of the candidates will follow in subsequent issues of the DAILY WORKER. Combined with this campaign will be a campaign to acquaint the wide masses of Chicago workers with the DAILY WORKER, the newspaper that fight every day for the interests of the workers. There Are No Race or Nationality Bars in Workers’ Republic ODESSA, Russia.—Recent elections in the Kiev district show that in addi- tion to the Ukrainian Soviets elected in Ukrainian villages have also been elected three Polish Soviets, four Rus- sian, two Jewish and one Czech. Thus in one small district the full- est cultural autonomy prevails, the villages electing officials and carrying on business in the language each knows best.

Bring Up At Union Meetings. Comrades who are members of the unions are asked to take the issue up at their meetings and call upon the workers there to attend the Lieb- knecht ‘Day meeting. The juniors are already taking care to see that their school mates are told all about the Karl Liebknecht Day meeting and will no doubt, get a good response. A scpecial feature of the Liebknecht Day meeting will be Lenin-Liebknecht enrollment of new members into the league and party where during the course of the meeting a number of comrades willing to join the league will be initiated at the meeting.

The strug- gle between the imperialist nations for the possession of the oil fields in the near East, the speaker said, con- tained like germs of war. “That another world conflict is im- minent, every Communist under- stands, but to secure the very essen- tial details regarding the development of the imperialistic struggle requires a daily party organ,” Comrade Wagen- knecht. reiterated. . “Such: a. daily.-pa- per must not only inform t! party membership of the danger ahead and teach this membership ‘its Communist task in the next war, but must also secure a mass circulation, so that tens of thousands of proletarians will be influenced and led by it when the day comes when the workers will again be called on to exterminate each other.” The speaker then asked for dona- tions and pledges to build the DAILY | WORKER and to insure its constant existence. The New Haven Jewish | branch responded immediately with $38.00 collected from its members present and pledged its quota of $75.00. active members pledged $25.00 and gave $10.00 at once. The Russian branch paid $30.00 cash; the Ukrain- ian branch came forward with $20.00 of their $45.00 quota; while the Pol- ish, German, Italian and Finnish branches promised an early remit- tance. Out-of-town members were then called upon for reports. Stamford, Waterbury, Hartford, and Bridgeport, the largest locals in the state, all re- ported the branches busy at work col- lecting policy funds. All had accept- ed their quota and promised remit- tances at an early date. District 15, of the party, will un- doubtedly prove by performance that it believes in keeping the DAILY WORKER and in building it, Comrade Wagenknecht concludes as the result of his visit in the New England states. _ FOR RENT.
