The World takes up.some of the details of the Lowell- Stratton-Grant report to Goy. Fuller, |showing what the advisory commis- sion overlooked or chose to ignore in | the. record. .. It points..out. what. con- |trary conglusions should be drawn |from the gvidence when impartially | examined. “The reaf solution of this case would |be a new#trial before a new judge funder nc? ponditions,” states the {Worlds sen,,conckydes |peul “ty tepy Lovernor, to \and to fri * his council ds of justice in Massa- \chusetts” to “stay the execution. | Wait. . .listen, and do not put an | irrevocable end upon a case that is so full of doubt.” Seven questions are asked President A. Lawrence Lowell of Harvard in the New York Times in a full-page re- print of a letter the editors of the iNew Republic sent. The letter also |appears in the current issue of the magazine, The questions challenge the advis- lory commission’s findings on Judge \Thayer’s prejudice, prosecutor Katz- mann’s prejudicial cross-examination, the ambiguous gtn testimony of |Massachusetts state police, Capt. |Proctor, on Saceo’s cap (which did jnot fit him in court but which the |advisors solemnly accepted without trying it on Saceo), on the Berardelli pistol, on Sacco’s alibi, and on the ‘suppression of the Gould testimony by the prosecution. In its leading editorial of August | 20th, the Times declares that decision of the Massachusetts supreme court ileaves “lingering doubts” as to the proper conduct of the Sacco and Van- ‘zetti case by the prosecution and it ‘demands that everything be done to \give the two innocent prisoners jus- tice. The editorial calls especial at- tention to the neglect of the Inves- tigation Committee to deal in detail with Judge Thayer’s “improprieties” and prejudice in handling the case, and calls for a new stay of execution by the federal courts if such action is still possible. Fight to Put Hoover Over as Republican Candidate to Begin Herbert Hoover's political friends will. begin this week the unofficial boom which they hope will result in his election as president of the U. 8. Ever since Calvin Coolidge declared that he did not “choose” to be a can- didate in 1928, backers: of Hoover shave been loudest. in inlsisting that the latter was the best cf the repub- lican party at the next election. | The announcement that the fight ‘to put Hoover across will begin soon has just been made by W. Ward Smith, one of the leading Hoover sup- porters in 1920, and later secretary to former governor Nathan L. Miller. Smith declares that Hoover is the only candidate who can win votes in the south, and takes for granted that Al Smith will be the candidate of the democrats. * Sacco and Vanzetti Shall) Nat Die! = for tas meaner} h an-ap-| ultimately result in any marked / reduction in total sales.” ight To The nd To Save Sacco, Vanzetti (Continued from Page One) ‘a struggle about evidence, but a struggle of class against class.

The crime which takes place in Dedham jail this Monday night shows that the whole apparatus of the law \in this country is an apparatus of murder and repression, for the bene- fit of the prosperous upper classes, for the exploitation of the working \class and their merciless punishment behind the shield of hypocritical legal forms in cases where bold and honest members or masses of the working class dare to expose the system of exploitation. The capitalist court lied when it declared that Sacco and Vanzetti received a trial “as free and |impartial as the lot of humanity will admit.” Sacco and Vanzetti received seven years of torture in punishment for their loyalty to their fellow work- ers, and now they go to their death as martyrs of their class.

The tremendous demonstrations which the workers of foreign coun- tries have made in behalf of Sacto and Vanzetti played a heavy part in causing the American imperialists to slow up their criminal plans for a few days in 6rder to apply a few more legal tricks intended only to cover the crime and confuse the minds of the workers. But the workers throughout the world will never have the hideous bloody picture of Amer- ican justice erased from their minds. The workers of the world learned to jcapitalist class. The political institu- tions of America, the federal state of this country, will be better understood and better fought by the workers of |this country and other countries in |the future great struggles which will arise out of the imperialism of the capitalist United States. Nasty Role of Liberals. The murder of Sacco and Vanzetti \erowd many disillusionments before |the eyes of our class. The nasty, con- \temptible role of such so-called lib- erals as Judge Oliver Wendell Holmes is exposed in this crisis when Holmes is obliged to function for his class in denying a writ of habeus corpus to |innocent men about to be assassinated by the state of Massachusetts. Again | the cowardly part of Senator. William \E. Borah—the role of the capitalist jwho plays with liberal phrases | working’ class—appears when Borah \at the last minute speaks for the \death of the enemies cf the capitalist \class, advising a& who will listen to him not “to pay the slightest atten- ‘tion to foreign protests or mob pro- jtests at home.” And still again, the function of the socialist party of America, whose leadership is under the influence of the capitalist class ideology of this country, shows its trve function in the class struggle by refusing to give even its “moral” sup- port to the only means which can monstrations and strikes, | Can Be Sayed. | But the Workers’ (Communist) |Party of America appeals to the work- |ers not to be cowed or terrorized by |the ruling class. Only a few hours remain in which the workers can yet save their brothers from death.

Hill will call upon Justice Harlan Stone to grant the stay, and if he re- |fuses to act—as have both Brandeis |and Oliver Wendell Holmes, what is | said to be the last hane ta ewe ths: jeondemned men thru the courts will / > |have failed. He’s Interested. Justice Brandeis, when visited yes- terday at his home in Hatham, 130 miles from Boston, refused to grant the petition, so attorney Hill reports, \because of the fact that his family } Was so interested in the case that it would be unethical for him to inter- vene. While counsel tries this last court jmove, Mrs. Jessica Henderson, a | wealthy Sacco-Vanzetti sympathizer | left here tonight for Washington to! make an examination of the depart- | ment of justice records in this case. | Just what her next step will be after | \that was not clear. She will have to | work fast if she completes her probe | before the nen are slated to die. Ar- | | thur Garfield Hays, New York lawyer, | and Francis Fisher Kane, of Philadel- |phia are also reported to have gone} |to Washington to get the department | | of justice records “unlocked.” Borah Offers to Look In. Both are allied with the Citizens’ | National Sacco-Vanzetti Committee, | composed of prominent liberals, which | yesterday announced hat Senator | William E. Borah has offered his time jand services to aid in the legal end of the case. The telegram from Borah says: es { “Replying to your - telegram, Tj | would be glad to go over the case | with counsel and if I find I ean be of |service relative to innocence or fair trial, will volunteer my time and ser- vices.” The committee said Senator Borah was invited to leave for Boston im- mediately and that efforts are being | made to obtain an airplane for him. He also has been asked to address an | appeal to Governor Fuller for a stay | of execution. Two Workers Brave. Sacco and Vanzetti were stoical when they received the news of their latest defeat. They hadn’t placed any hopes on its success anway. They | have been disappointed too often’ be- | fore. | They fully expect to die tonight. Nevertheless their friends continue their frantic efforts to save them. A | strong appeal will be made to Gover- | nor Fuller tomorrow. Another appeal is to be made to Senator David I. Walsh, who lives here. U. S. Attor- | ney General Sargent said yesterday he would take under advisement an} appeal that was made to him yester- | day for the opening of the depart- | ment of justice files. | But these are slim chanees—very | |slim indeed and no one knows it any | better than Sacco and Vanzetti. i | Vanzetti was visited again yester- | day morning by his sister Luigia, who saw him Saturday for the first time |in 19 years. Yesterday’s meeting was | |vather brief and unemotional. Mrs. | Sacco visited her husband in an ad- | | joining cell at the same time. She! |has called on him every day recently jand these meetings have become t eventful. Yesterday’s meeting was vastly different \ from Saturday’s } touching scenes, when Sacco and his wife stood by and stared at Vanzetti and his sister in their emotional em- | brace. They will see their loved ones | again today perhaps for the last time. | Freiheit Singers to Hold Annual Picnic’ The annual picnic of the Freheit | Singing Society of New York and) Paterson will be held at Pleasant Bay | Park, Bronx, on Sunday, September | 11th.
