to the campaign Of endorsement of

this agitation, the difference be-
tween a Third Party, representing
the interests of the middle class

planned. The campaign for the
Farmer Labor Party is the greatest

the crisis Of his death as it over
came the famine and the counter

From his hands other leaders, and
the loyal organization which he in
spired and thrilled, will take the
burden Of continuing the progress
Of the workers and peasants. Fol-
lowing the course he has charted
they will sweep on to new victories
and new accomplishments.

deep SHOWS to bring him wood and
food. They did not want Lenin to be
cold or hungry.
And when things sometimes went
amiss in governmental affairs, the
peasants always said, "Lenin will
straighten it out"
And now Lenin is dead. A worker
and a teacher he has done his work
well.
Russia rising out Of the perplexi-
ties of reconstruction strong and
sturdy, while other nations that de-
MED the soundness of his doctrine,
sink deeper and deeper into the
mire of their contradictions until
their civilization is on. the verge Of
dissolution bear witness that Lenin,
cursed and berated by the seers and
philosophers of capitalism, was fun
damentally right.
Today because Of the movement in
which he played so prominent part,
despite the fact that he is dead,
there is more of security and hope
for the masses of Russia than they
have known for centuries.
Lenin was a fighter, destroyer.
Also he was a constructor and an
advocate of world peace. He saw
the way to the end and did not hesi-
tate to follow it, to the overthrow
of capitalism.
But he was also an interpreter of
MARKHAM socialism. Events in Rus
STA have proven his Interpretation
correct.
He differed with those socialist sa-
wants who from their easy chairs
led the workers of many lands to
believe that it was the teaching of
Marx that the ballot box alone
would suffice for the complete eman-
cipation and salvation Of the work.
ers. He taught the true MARKHAM
doctrine that the workers must ever
be ready to defend the conquests by
the ballot against the armed attacks
Of a politically defeated, armed cap,
italist minority.
Events in Finland, Germany, the
Mexican revolt and the reported
assassination of the socialist gov
ernor of Yucatan, Felipe Carrillo,
affirm the correctness of his conten-
ton.
Lenin not only stated the solution
of the problem. He demonstrated
it.
He pointed out the way clear and
distinct to the masses who had be-
come confused and discouraged thru
the false Interpretation of Marx.
Soviet Russia does not die with
Lenin. 1t is not impossible that his
passing may cause some confusion.

Only the "Reds" Give

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.-The eigh-
teen hundred delegates attending the
convention Of the United Mine Work
ers Of America here represent a
tremendous power-a half million
workers in the great coal indus
try. The miners are the granite
columns upon which the modern
world stands. They are the giants
Of this epoch. They supply the basic
energy and force for this machine
age.
The miners of America are bril-
liant and courageous fighters, men
who can resist and fight harder than
any other group of workers. They
are men who can, and do, abandon
their homes and take to the hillA
for weeks and months while on
strike.
The men here from the mines can
speak. They can ten Of their
struggles, and they do. One Of tbs
delegates, Watt, a miner from II
linois, told the convention that they
should prepare for greater things.
"Do not be afraid if they call you
red Red is a beautiful color, 1t
is an inspiring color. 1t is color
that suggests life, hope" he said.
History remembers the reds it
forgets the 'yellows.'
John l.. Lewis is defender and
friend Of the "yellows." Poor John
L. he hates, but it is the fighters
he hates. John is like mad turkey
or bull; he hates red. 1t is too bad,
for John.
The red roses will not stop their
blooming at the bark of this great
man. 1t is pity.
Minersl do not be afraid Of the
"reds"; the yellows are the ones
to watch. They who are friendly to
our enemies, the bosses. They hate

their defense of their class. They
