THE DAILY WORKER, NEW FOREIGN N McCOY REPORTS “ALL SET” FOR NIGARAGUA POLL Marines, Planes, Guns Assure U. S. Will MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Oct. 29.— All is ready for the “elections” in Nicaragua, with the American Elec- tion Mission of 650 marine officers and Latin American “specialists” at their posts, reinforced by an army of 5,000 marines and squadrons of American bombing planes, according to a report submitted by General Frank R. McCoy, supervisor for Washington, General McCoy assures the United States government that “we are all set” and that generally no disturb- ances are expected due to the large marine guard, although he could not voucn for “certain areas,” by which he undoubtedly means those districts under the direct control of General Sandino, where he will not eyen attempt to send his marines, Only two candidates can be voted for, both approved by General Me- Coy, spokesman for American capi- talists, who has been granted dic- tatorial powers by President Diaz. Adolfe Benard, the richest man in Nicaragua, controller of extensive sugar plantations in Granada, has been approved as the conservative candidate by the American general. General Jose Maria Moncada, after demonstrating his willingness to submit to the American marine rule, was also approved as the “liberal” candidate, GITLOW IN TOUR OF MIDDLE WEST Three Cities Covered by Red Candidate Continued from Page One worl.ers, the biggest meeting ever held ‘n Pontiac. Five workers joined the Party. ‘ e @ CHICAGO, Tl, (By Mail—De- layed)—A_ record-breaking crowd filled Ashland Auditorium Friday evening to greet Benjamin Gitlow, vice-presidential candidate of the Workers (Communist) Party. The meeting combined a big campaign rally with the celebration of the 11th anniversary of the Russian Re- volution. Again and again Gitlow roused the audience to the heights of applause in his powerful presen- tation of the issues of the campaign, and of the kinship of the struggle of the American working masses. under the leadership of the Com- munist Party, with the victorious Russian workers. “When the imperialist forces launch their military offensive against our Socialist fatherland, the Sovict Union, we will be on the side of the Red Army. We pledge our- selves to do everything necessary to bring about the defeat of the im- perialist armies,” Gitlow told them, and the crowd rose and cheered him in a way that made the building shake, Many Others Speak. Other speakers included Max Be- dacht, candidate for U. S. senator; Leon Platt, organizer of the Chicago Young Workers League, and Helen Petras for the Young Pioneers. Wil- liam F. Kruse was chairman. At the opening of the meeting a special talk was made for the Daily Worker by S. A. Krieger. A resolution of protest was adopted against the murder of Della Maggiori by Mus- solini in Italy and the killing of the activa! 2-._'ct’ Bazra i ‘voit. Over $1,200 Collected. _ The collection for the campaign amounted to over $1,200, Many or- ganizations, workers clubs, groups of progressive trade unionists, and other organizations brought in dona- tions from their organizations. Many workers volunteered to work and watch the count on election day. The campaign in Illinois comes to a close with a series of “Red Night” demonstrations in the vari- ous sections of the city, special cam- paign meetings run by various for- eign language campaign conferences progressive groups of trade union- ists, and finally by hall meetings in various parts of the district ad- @ressed by state candidates, among them William F.

I says, ‘All right, how about you, Joe?’ That’s Joseph San Marco, ‘Well,’ he says, ‘I got a pretty good gun.’ ,He says, ‘A brand new automatic.’ I says, ‘Guinea, what have you got?’ He says, ‘I got a plain thirty-eight,’ and I says, “I got a thirty-eight gun too.’ ” Vanzetti was later accused of having been the man with the sawed- off shotgun. Silva’s confession shows that this man was Doggy Bruno, who wore a short, cropped} mustache, while Vanzetti’s was long and flowing. The Outlook also publishes an affidavit by “Big Chief” Jimmie Mede, operator of a hangout for criminals, who originally planned the Bridgewater holdup, but was un-}| able to take part because he was in| jail at the time. This confession corroborates Silva’s statements and implicates both Judge Thayer and James Vahey, Vanzetti first lawyer, in the frame-up. Fred Moore, at- torney for Sacco and Vanzetti dur- ing several years of the case, visited Mede in jail in order to persvade him to tell what he knew. John Vahey, brother of Vanzetti’s first lawyer, and Joseph Ross, “who was driving Judge Thayer around,” rushed to see Mede after Moore’s visit and threatened him’ if he re- vealed anything. “I told him I had said nothing to Mr. Moore,” Mede states in his affi- dayit. “Mr. Vahey says, don’t you do it, if you want me to represent you to try to get you a pardon. Don’t you dare say anything in regard to the Sacco and Vanzetti case. You knovy, my brother defended Vanzetti, and you will only be putting my brother in Dutch. I promised him that I would not say anythin. I also made that promise to Joseph Ross. Ross at that time was driving Judge Thayer around, and he also said don’t you dare say anything in regards to that case.” The true facts of the Bridgewater best ull dy HERBS EE PMS AE DOCUMENTS FURTHER CLEAR VANZETTI holdup were known to Governor Fuller when he was conductin: his so-called “investigation” Sacco-Vanzetti went to see hinr and told him th story. But the millionaire governor found this exoneration of Vanzetti so distasteful that he called in a state police office and Mede was compelled to run away to avoid a beating. Mede also went to see Cap- tain Blye of the Massachusetts| state police three weeks before the execution, but the captain refused to listen on the ground that it would} be “damned embarrassing!” After having heard Mede’s story, Governor Fuller made the brazen as- sertion in his report that “Vanzetti had been arrested, tried and convic- ted of an attempted holdup on Dec. 24, 1919, at Bridgewater, Mass., and sentenced to 15 years imprisonment,” intending thereby to give the impres- sion that Vanzetti was a convicted criminal, The documents published in tue Outlook thus supply additional con- firmation of the fact known to mill- ions of workers throughout the world who fought to save Sacco and Vanzetti from the bloody clutches of Massachusetts “justice.” They help to fill in the outlines of this brutal and cold-blooded frame-up in which two innocent workers were murdered by the American capitalist class.

At present there are about 55,000 textile workers on strike and locked out and the general sentiment pre- vailing among the workers in the textile districts is one which would never accept the continuation of the present wage scale, Due to war reparations and debts, and the continual import of gold to maintain the curreney standard the cost of living has grown in leaps and bounds while, wages have re- mained the same, it is generally pointed out. A general lock-out in the Rhinish textile mills would affect over 300,- |000 workers. POINCARE GOV'T CRISIS LOOMING in Stresses Split PARIS, Oct. 29.—The reactionary Poincare National Union cabinet is faced with a crisis due to the situa- tion arising from the shooting to death of a royalist by a gendarme at the unveiling of a monument at Pons yesterday. The whole matter brings to a head the opposition of he royalist, fascist and “liberal” ele- ents in the cabinet on the question of the restoration of church property and the re-establishment of religious missionary orders in France. The press today generally con- demned the hasty action of police guards in firing on demonstrators Herriot, member of the government and former premier, unveiled a mem- orial to Emile Combes, also a former premier. Combes was in office when church and state were separated and his name has always been anathema to church adherents, A young man named Guiraud was killed in the melez. The gendarme Cazet, who fired the shot which killed him, was placed under arrest. Forty-two of those who joined in the manifestation were arrested, but all except seven were released to- day. Jean Brunet, 25, a royalist, con- fessed he was the one who ruined the face of the statue with a ham- mer whjch he had concealed in a bouquet of flowers. The monument was uncer he: gucvd today.

It is the chief function of the protective tariff to secure unlimited monopoly to the trusts. The interests of the working class are against a high tariff.” | | + * & Foster at Canton. | CANTON, Ohio, Oct. 29 (By Mail) | |--Canton steel workers packed the | Music Hall auditorium here to capa- leity, cheering Foster, candidate of |the Communists for president.
