Communists Score Big Victory In Germany
COME TO ST. PAUL
BY ALEXANDER HOWAT


ever held in this country, and the
one in which the workers have
the greatest opportunity to mobil-
ize their strength, and to demon
strate their real power, will meet in
the city of ST. Paul on June II. The
convention to which l refer will be
composed of men and women repre-
senting all that is real in the great
movement of farmers and workers
for the formation of nationwide
farmer-labor party. The convention
will be an expression of the masses
who are dissatisfied with both Of
the two old political parties, the
masses whose eyes have been
opened by long succession of po-
litical and economic events crowned
by the most recent terrific expo
sures of the crooked work of the
highest government officials Of both
the Republican and the Democratic
parties. The recent exposures have
aroused the people of toll as they
have never been aroused before.
Now more than ever before they
can understand that there is no
hope for the toilers who produce
the nations wealth as long as the
great financial interests Of the coun-
try own and control both of the two
old parties. Now they can more
readily understand that which has
been true for many years-that the
big financial interests control both
of the dominant political parties.
l believe that we should unite, in
this coming convention at st. Paul
on June II, all Of the forces of the
farmer-labor movement. Let us no
longer be slaves to the scheming
politicians who represent the en-
emies of our kind. The convention
of farmers and workers on June II
is the golden opportunity for the
workers of the city and the tollers
Of the farm to asert themselves in

Years CT experience have clearly
shown that the two old parties, al
ternating in power. but serving the
same masters, are keeping the
working class in poverty and misery.
We are denied our rights of Ameri-
can citizens. There is no justice
for the poor under the present sys-
TEN. The courts are used against
the workers and in the interest of
the employing class. The power of
the government has always been
used to assist the rich against the
poor. and it will continue so to be
used as long as the employing class
sits secure in political power. 1t is
to be hoped that labor from all
parts of the nation will rally to the
cause with delegations which truly
represent them in this most impor-
tant gathering. The convention bids
fair to go down in history as mark
ing the beginning of a new day for
the men and women who earn their
living by the sweat of their brow.
The great Farmer-Labor Party,
uniting all of the serious elemnets o.
the farmer-labor movement now ex-
listing in this country-the great
party which we hope will come out
of this convention-will stand for
those principles upon which many
had fondly thought this American
republic was originally founded.
tho their eyes have been widely
opened in recent times in that re-
spect
The call for the st. Paul conven-
ton flames as a beacon light,
streaming it's golden rays down the
otherwise darkened pathway Of the
future. Let it be the brilliant light
on the road that leads to final eman-
cipation of the workers of this en-
tire nation. Let us all join hands
and make this convention of the
farmers and workers on June II a
grand and glorious success
