"No! "Leninism remains. "Lenin is immortal in his doctrine of work and bis method and example which lire in the party he created. "He was the head of the helmsman. "Our grief is as great as our loss, but we thank history for permitting us to have been born as contemporaries of Lenin.

"Our party is Leninism in action. Every one of us contains something of Lenin. "With the light 6urj hand, we shall find the true road, by collective thought and collective will. "How many among us would not unhesitatingly give the very last drop of our blood to revive the circulation in the veins of our matchless, unequaled leader? "Lenin was necessary to the world's working classes as perhaps never in the history of humanity has a man been necessary. "The party is now an orphan.

"That is what one feels today above everything else. "Our responsibility now has been doubled. Let us be worthy of him who taught us. "In our mourning, let us close our ranks and "our hearts for new combats. "Farewell!" TWO FACE MURDER CHARGE Uhls and Frank Leonard Are Charged With Slaying Hutchison Recluse.
