Oct. 14th. To the Editor: Dear Sir: We are sending you this communication In answer to an Editorial appearing In your paper some time ago headlined 'Reds Endorse The national election campaign policy of the Communist Party has been the support of progreeslve candidatee against those representing the forcee of reaction. This has been followed In a number of primaries (Ohio, Kentucky. New York.

Wisconsin. Minnesota, etc. and will be followed In most of the there Is a clear cut Issue of progress against November 8th. The fact that thie has been made big NEWS In Michigan, with Mr. Fltsgerald trying to build a campaign on the Issue of the "red herring" certainly indicates a desire to get away from the real issues facing the people of our State.

The etatement of Clarence E. Hathaway, editor of the Dally Worker, referred to aa the big "revelation of red support" speaka for Iteelf; aald Mr. Hathaway at a mass-meeting In Detroit; "The Communlat Party greete and Joins with the people of Michigan for a united victory In 1938. for a common Democratic front of labor, farmers, middle claes and all progressives to defeat the offensive of big defeat Ford. General Motors and their candidate Frank Fltsgerald and to block the way to Fascism and War." Mr.

Hathaway continued, pointing out "that there la no in Murphy's program, that the Issue in Michigan is that of a progreeelve New Deal administration againat the puppet candidate ot the 8tate Monopolies." The Communist Party does stand therefore for the election of progreeelve candidatee. We also stand for three square meals a day, for higher wages, better living and working conditions. Doee Mr. Fltsgerald expect the people to be against against the Ten because the Communists happen to be for them? The Republicans must be pretty desperate for dishing out the Buddy, the almost-human dog often seen on Ludlngton Street with his msster. Jim Christie of the Ludlngton Hotel, has performed his last trick.

He died Mondsy right, after an Hines of about three days during which he refused to touch a mouthful of food. Buddy waa 11 years old and Mr. Christie bad owned him since he was only four months of age. He came from the kennels of the Hagenbeck menagerie at Hamburg. Germany.

His father was a German Shepherd and his mother a full blooded timber wolf. He haa the coat of the latter, his appearance being that of the familiar German Shepherd or "police dog." He had never felt the whip his training having been accomplished through the patient repetl- tio nof command, exampl and reward. Psychologists have said that he Is equsl in intelligence to fifteen-year old child. Buddy was trained to pose in almost any position. Imitate a seal or a kangaroo, waits in Scotch kilts.

Imitate a celebrator returning from a night club, pray devoutly, and walk up and down stairs backward. He could aelect any doll named from a collection of thirty-five. He had appeared many times before Escanaba schoolchildren and local aervice cluba, together with hla little companion. Tiny. Nonchalance, and almost coldness.

were displayed towards passers by on the street by the dog. His master had taught his not to pay too much attention to those not directly concerned with him. He also taught Buddy to be protective to children wben his help was needed. "A good rule In training dogs could be espressed In four words," Mr. Christie has said, "Make obedience mean pleaaure." Buddy's constant companion, Tiny, now walks mournfully about the streets with his master on hla own four little feet.

A midget Tan from South America, Tiny waa alwaya privileged to ride upon Buddy's back as the two went out with their master. WALLACE IN MICHIGAN Washington, Oct. 17. of Secretary of Agriculture said an engagement at Adrian, Thuraday night had been added to the Itinerary of his present speaking tour In the middle west. They said they understood the Democratic congreasional campaign committee had asked him to speak at Adrian.

When the moon Is full, the sun, earth and moon are nearly in line, and we have the greatest tjdee, called the spring tides. Red Herring. This failed against Preeident Roosevelt and other progressives and will not put over the Republicans this time. Sincerely yours. Raymond Anderson.
