Workers in St. Paul Are
Supporting Emme, the
Communist, for Congress
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

TODAY William Mahoney editor of the Minnesota Union
Advocate, a pitifuI figure than in the
labor movement Of his own city and state
Mahoney has always vigorously protested his sincerity
in seeking to build the Farer-Labo Party Minnesota.
He has always claimed he seeking to build toward
class party Of the workers and farmers; that he fight
ing the reactionares within the ranks of labor who
seeking to betray the Farmer-Labor the
hands OF the political agents Of wal Street.
The Oct. 2srd issue of Mahoneys paper however,
veas its editor better than the Johnsons and Ship
steads have allied themselves with the LaFoette
the efforts Of city and and.workers to build party Of
their own.
Mahoney nearly two columns to excoriate a. 3.
Gilbert, former manager Of the Farmers Nonpartisan
League renounoing the FarmerLabor Party and
ing forthe republican ticket; but the page
editorial MahOney calls the workers and farmers
knife j. F. Emmer the FarmerLabor Party candidate in
the ST. Paul district and elect the republican, Oscar E.
Keller, to congress.
Mahoney has put himself in the class with all the
other weckers Of the movement has taken
him long time to reach his goal but he has finally arrived
He has broken his allegiance to the FameLabor Party.
His loyalty to LaFoiettes republican party has proved
stronger.
To be sure wavering, vascating Mahoney has his
aibi. Emmes awful crime is that he Communist. He
belongs to the Workers Party Therefore, Mahoney urges
the workers to desert to the enemy He has little red
Mahoney now tries to tell the workers of ST. Paul that
they didn't know what they doing when they nominated
the Communist Emme in the primaries the candidate of
the Farmer-Labor Party.
MahOney makes the startling discovery that 1.-THE
bers of the Communist or Workers Party have publicly
declared that they going engage in whirlwind
pagn defeat Oscar e Keller for congress- and elect in
of the ST. Paul Communists any clearer
Mahoney certainly isn't fool enough to believe that the
Communists would beray the decision of the workers the
FarmerLabor primaries and support the candidate of the
Wall Street republican party He knows Communist loyalty
to principle better than that.
This is the same Mahoney who remained loyal to the
LaFoete campaign when the Wisconsin turned his
back the FarmeLabor Party at the June 18th Farmer
Labor Conference in ST. Paul. This is the Mahoney
who Cleveland to attend the LaFoette Conference
but who refused seat because he had dared for
moment to espouse the Farmer-Labor
Mahoney has passed the acid test of allegiance to
the LaFoIette Illusion He has joined in the betrayal of the
FarmerLabo movement He has joined in the open attack
He will be acceptable LaFoette-
Wheeler republican and democratic politicians from
While Mahoney goes completely into the camp of
the enemy the rank and file workers stand loyal to their
principles.
Machnists' Lodge No. 45o, of ST. Paul, has adopted
declaration repudang the endorsement of Keller showing
that is direct violation of Section 8, Article of the
constitution of the FarmerLabor Federation of Minnesota
and STRIKES deadly blow at the principles of the organ
zation"
The machnists declare that "such action establishes
dangerous precedent and will tend rapidly to destroy
the fundamental principles upon which the FarmerL labor
Federation of Minnesota is built and will lead to deoraza-
ton and disunity within its ranks"
That strong indictment of Mahoney and the crime
he committed against the workers. 1t indictment
which he his kind will be found guilty by the of
workers and farmers in Minnesota who demand class poI
cal action
j. F. Emme the Communist, is the Farmer-Labor Party
candidate for congress in the ST. Paul district Tuesdays
elections.
Every worker who realizes where his interests lie,
of organized labor will cast their ballots Tuesday for
Emme the Communist whose loyalty to his class the
ing class, has never been questioned.
