Democrats Want to Avoid Another 1924 Most of the energy of the national directors of ‘the democratic party is now being consumed in attempts to solve the internal con- flicts of that pz Strong agitation for the repeal of the rule by which a two-thirds majority is required to nominate candidates for the national ticket is meeting with favorable response from all sec- tions of the party. Within the democratic party are two tendencies, representing | ¢ conflicting interests within the ranks of the capitalist class. The most powerful is the eastern branch that is avowedly imperialistic, the tool of finance capital, whose outstanding leader is Al Smith, the Tammany Hall boss of New York City. The other is the group of former Bryan supporters representing the middle and petty bour- geoisie and well-to-do farmers of the middle west. Neither of these tendencies is sufficiently powerful to rally a clear two-thirds vote in the 1928 convention. But either of them may be able to rally a major- ity. Hence both elements favor the abolition of the two-thirds rule which in 1924 enabled Smith of the eastern group in the party and McAdoo, the defender of Bryanism to mutually destroy each others chances of nomination. Mechanically changing the rule governing selections of candi dates may solve the convention problem but it certainly is no guaran- tee of future harmony in a party trying to represent one economic group within the capitalist class in the east and another group in the middle west whose interests clash on almost every conceivable political plank. Most anything may happen to this decttpit party, but it is probable that it will vegetate for a time in its present form—theoretic- ally in opposition to the republicans. The dominant forces in both old parties follow an identical policy in congress. The Mellon-Coolidge Wall Street coalition dominates a larger percentage of democrat sen- ators than it does republicans. Within each party are insurgent elements that fight together on most major issues and always on for- eign policy. If the republicans remain in power much longer a con- siderable proportion of those now labelled democrats will line up with it in a powerful reactionary party and leave the insurgents of both old parties to form a futile petty bourgeois opposition. No middle class revolt within or without the ranks of the old parties can generate sufficient vitality to challenge the despotism of imperialism. Only the working class, as the virile revolutionary factor in class struggles today, can create a political party that can be- come an effective opposition to the Wall Street combination. A Crude Counter-Offensive The nation-wide, in fact world-wide, protest on the part of the working class that are exposing the murderous conspiracy of the Back Bay codfish textile aristocracy of Massachusetts to send Sacco and Vanzetti to the electric chair, has the low conspirators scurrying for, cover. Their game is exposed and they now try to launch a counter-offensive by resorting to a bomb scare. Part of the residence of a brother-in-law of-one of the witnesses for the state frame-up was demolished by some sort of explosion. The textile papers broadcasted the story that the explosion was caused by a bomb. Immediately the police threw a guard around the homes of Judge Webster Thayer, the presiding judge in the trial at Dedham, and Chief Justice Arthur P. Rugg of the state supreme court, both of whom live in Worcester, notorious scab center. The advanced workers of New England have begun a series of gigantic mass meetings to expose to the residents of that part of the country the blood-thirsty campaign of lies that has been conducted by the textile press. In ordér to detract attention from these demonstrations in the domain of the textile exploiters of women and children the wrecking of the house of a relative of one of the per- jurers now occupies first page space. The next step will probably be attempts to suppress meetings in behalf of the victims of the frame-up. Massachusetts labor must defy any such attempts on the part of the jackal pack howling for the blood of these two innocent Zr 290 ——— < | must se | republican prima A Contest in Grovelling By H. M. WICKS. Senator Porter H, Dale, from Coo- lidge’s home state, Vermont, who everywhere recognized as an admin’ | tration man and who is classified as ich by all the opposition elements in the senate, is one of those solons who k re-election th ar, With y minor excer he has two ve | voted with the Mellon-Coolidge gang. But those two exceptions were suf- ficient to cause the Coolidge forees to place an opponent in the field against him in an effort to defeat him in the ies in his own state, The Mellon-Coolidge forces d complete effacen in its supporte: tion demands servility. The senator who succeeds in grova eling longer than his opponent gets administration support. Mellon-Coo- lidge senators must engage in an en- durance contest and the one who crawls the lowest is raised to the highest position if Mellon’s millions can get him there. Dale’s Record. Porter H, Dale of Vermont entered the senate on November 7, 1923, to fill This administra- absolute, unswerving LM. STICKNEY workers. The “Miracle Man” of Tamarack A Tamarack, Minnesota, optometrist named Vernon Ewing is the latest religious crank to flash across the slimy pages of the sen- sational press of the country. He announced that god had imparted to him the information that he would “manifest himself” by some sort of sign in a poplar grove last Tuesday» The usual batch of gullible half-crazed religion- ists followed him to the grove, whence the usual batch of reporters, photographers and other dispensers of dope for the capitalist sheets had repaired. After much bellowing, groaning, praying and delirious contortions the exhausted religionists departed without anything of an unusual nature happening. The concensus of opinion of those who refrained from throwing a religions fit was that the man, Ewing, is demented; a case for a psychopathic ward. Most of them, howe ire religious and there is such a dim line that separates the most learned man of god in the world’s greatest cathedral from the monomaniacs who wait in hordes for manifestations from the mythical monster in the skies that they fear to establish the precedent of turning them over to ‘medical eXaminers for fear their own illusions might eventually come to be questioned.

Dillingham, who died in office. Being a tombstone senator, his term has been a short one. He has been un- questionably Joyal to the gang in power, He voted for Mellon’s tax steal, wherein the secretary of the treasury presented himself and his billionaire cronies of Wall Street and Detroit, Michigan, with millions of dol- lars. Dale also stood by the adminis- tration when Coolidge tried to blud- geon thru an endorsement for “Sugar Charley” Warren, who had been se- lected by Coolidge as attorney gen- eral. Since the most important task of the attorney general at that time was the prosecutioy or cases against the sugar trust it hot possible for Coolidge to force’ thru the endorse- ment. It was narr averted, how- ever, because Vic couldn’t wake up in tie vote in favor of Osolidge. But on the questi@ns of soldiers’ bonus and+pay for’ the postal em- ployes Senator Dale yoted against the administration. His ‘vote was not de- cisive, as the administration had’ suf- ficient votes anyway, and he thought he ought to be able to have some sort of record to go befdre the voters. The Mellon gang had not agreed to exempt Dale on these ‘questions, as it exempted Jim Watsgn of Indiana on the world court vote, sq the Vermonter is now confronted with a Coolidge op ponent. Can He Grovel Lower? The candidate cndien by the Mel- lon-Coolidge forces to’ teach Dale a salutory lesson is William H. Stick- ney, former governor of Vermont and a law partner of Attorney General Sargent. Stickney is considered more reliable than Dale and it is not be- lieved that he would, under any con- ditions, deviate a hair’s breadth from Mellon’s Wall Street policies.

The inner conflicts in Brit- ish capitalist society, aggravated by the rise of the trade unions and the whole working class to new power, is shown by this incident. Named for Governor Isaac L.
