them. DO uot be led into wasting
your vote by casting it for some
alleged independent" movement
where it will really be an assist
ance to the party which has not
heSltated in its Congress and its
platform to disdainfully ignore
every demand of the workers for
right and justice and to add that it
is willing to take the responsibility
for such action.
The crisis is at hand in the in
dustrial affairs of our country, and
the civic rights of the working
people must be protected.
Therefore, to support So called
independent" third party ticket
would indeed be an aid to the
very antagonists with whom labor
must contend. 1t would defeat
the very object which the toilers of
our country aspire to achieve.
Do not be misled by specious
promises of third party '.independ-
ents" or.by the misrepresentation
which such schemers heap upon
labor's representatives for doing
their duty and informing the
workers of the attitude of the two
great parties toward their demand
for justice, right, and equality be-
fore the law.
This is not the time for empty
phrases or barren compliments.
1t is time for plain speaking and
for the most serious, intelligent,
and earnest action among the
toliers. We opine they will vote
intelligently, without regard to
past party affiliations. They will
make their votes count, and thus
protect and advance their own
rights as well rs the rights of their
fellows.
