Subscr "tv ZAGHLUL PARTY SWEEPS EGYPT IN ELECTIONS British Worried at New Parliament (Special to’ The Daily Worker) CAIRO, Egypt, May 27.—The sweep- ing victory in the Egyptian elections of England’s enemy, the nationalist leader Zaghlul, who won all but nine | seats out of the 214 in the new parlia- ment, is causing considerable worry} among the unofficial British rulers in) spite-of_their public attitude of indif- ference. “It was expected’ says the British, “and it is no business of‘ours. The Egyptians can have any government they choose as long as they do not interfere with our occupation of the Sudan. No British government will ever consent to transfer the Sudan to Egypt.” Things are expected to be made hot for Britain by national leaders limiting the powers of the king, who is cordially hated as a puppet of Great Britain. Also the parliament may change the constitution, which gives English imperialism many priv- ileges that the nationalists can thus take away. The British intend to make it dif- ficult for Zaghlul to become premier by publishing their verdict as to who is responsible for the) assassination of Sirdar Lee Stack, and including Zagh- lul among those “morally” responsi- ble.

Personally, I have no doubt of the innocence of Sacco and Vanzetti. But if there are any who are in doubt as to their innocence, they are at least as much in doubt as to their guilt. With Mooney and Billings still in jail, to which they were sent on testimony now universally conceded to have been perjured, and with much of the testimony in the Sacco and Vanzetti case not,free from suspicion of per- jury, justice indeed demanded the granting of a new trial. «+ If the injustice done to Mooney and Billings is not to be repeated in this case, labor, particularly organized la- bor, must raise its mighty voice in protest, RE ER A a AT BEGINNING TUNE FIRST TUESDAY ik Be sure to read the first installment of this grip- ping story of the Califor- nia oil fields.

PAUL, May 27. — Minnesota voters in three political parties will choose candidates for governor and other state offices at a primary elec- tion June 21st.

Leach Runs as Wet. In the candidacy of George E. Leach republican aspirant for governor, former army colonél, sefving a third term as mayor of Mizneapolis, the largest city in the state, the wet issue is before the voters of the state. In the farmer-labor camp neither of the two candidates seeking the nomina- tion have so far referred to the 18th amendment. Leach is depending for his nomina- tion on his war record; disgruntled groups in his party, who have objected to Governor Christianson's appoint- ments, reactionary labor elements in the farmer-labor party and others in ul three parties who favor modifica tion of the Volstead act.

The government is very much con- cerned in Warsaw over the fact that 3,000 or more civilians still have their arms given them during the Pil-| sudski coup. Some 10,000 were armed by Pilsudski at the time of the fight-/ ing. Altho most of them were per- suaded to return the weapons the gov-| ernment is showing anxiety over those | who have not. Riot in Lemberg. In Lemberg today, street rioting broke out during the course of open air meetings conducted by the social- ist party. A score of persons were in- jured, including three policemen. The right parties are charging that the Pilsudski regime is not honest about the eleetions. They say Pilsud- ski will be elected president in any event, if necessary by force of arms. While Pilsudski followers declare that parliamentary government will be maintained, Pilsudski is quoted as say- ing, “I know what I will do,” when asked about a possible defeat in the elections. This is taken to be a hint at another armed demonstration. ! Posen Still on Warpath. The situation in Posen, center of the right opposition against Pilsudski, continues to blaze with threats of armed action against what they call the “socialist” government of Pilsud- ski, Political observers are convinced that the elections for president will hot be a peaceful one, “SAVE SACCO AND VANZETTI” TONIGHT, Friday, May 28, 8 p. m.
