NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Sept.
16.-The New Haven comrades
are determined to make the
GitloW meeting a credit to the
Communist movement. A start
was made on Saturday, Sept.
8, when C. E. Ruthenberg deIiV-
cred a mastery address on the
campaign issues. The chair
man, Organizer Simons, did not
exaggerate when he said that
Ruthenberg could defeat in de-
bate any of the apoIogists for
capitalism who were in the thick
of the election fight.
The hypocritical Labor Day
speeches Of the three capitalist
candidates were ripped open,
revealing their naked, ugly,
master class character. Two
hundred New Havenites heard
the opening of the indoor
speaking campaign of the New
Haven local, Workers Party.
In Front of Factories.
The New Haven meeting is being
advertised at the noon shop meetings
and evening open air meetings. The
workers at the Winchester and Clock
Shop plants who heard Bloomfield and
Eimons, know about the coming meet
ing, at Hermanson's Hall, 1853 Crown
St, New Haven, this Friday, Sept. 10,
Rt s .. m.
The Communists are beginning to
show activity in the campaign, in or
der to rid the city of the stencil pro-
duced by the political bunk dealt to
the workers. The republicans and
democrats have not yet started their
campaign, the republicans having just
nominated their slate, and the demo-
Gratis about to do so next week. The
LaFollette clubs are holding sporadic
meetings, few and far between. Sena-
tor Wheeler, Banker Vanderlip's
hired man, spoke to small crowds in
a few cities, and all he found to thun-
der about was Corrupted Cal and Fall
zen Fall. n
Evidently his campaign is to but
into the White House some angels.
whose wings have been carefully
cleaned, but not in oil. Say, patent
medicine, sprinkled with sgar-there's
bath bath that is wholesome. Not being
a medical doctor, the writer is unable
to determine the relative efficacy Of
the remedies. But what he does know
is that the corruption of the one and
the Don Quixote trust-busting and the
'holier than thou attitude of the other
are equally abhorrent.
Outside of that, they have held one
open air meeting, with a speaker who
represented the S. P. and the LaFoI-
lette Club. The s. P. holds meetings
occasionally on the Central Green,
for which purpose they import Social
lists from New York to extoI LaFol-
lette and Ramsay Macdonald. 1t is
difficult for the speakers to keep
themselves clear about their speeches,
altho from day to day it becomes in
creasingly easier for them to speak,
as they can make the same speech at
a socialist rally as at the LaFollette
meeting.
Not that they say radical things at
the LaFollette meeting, far from it;
but at the s. P. meeting, they can
utter the same glittering generalities,
and insipid inanities as at the LaFol.
lette meeting.
Distribute Programs.
It is to show up such buncombe
that the New Haven comrades have
distributed 5000 copies of the cam
paign election program, and are about
TO order another batch. That is why
the comrades are determined to make
the Gitlow meeting a success. Out
side Of distribution of fiers, several
automobiles will be covered with an
announcement Of the meeting.
