Judge Erickson a Candidate

Judge J. E. Erickson of Kalispel issued for
NAL statement of his candidacy in the primary
for nomination on the democrat ticket for gov
ernor, on the 22nd inst
Judge Erickson is, we believe state democrat
ic chairman, and is quite prominent figure
in the circles of that party, but is not rated as
skillful politician In fact it is stated on pretty
good authority that his fellow democrats recog-
nize the fact that the Judge is shy many of the
accomplishments of a good campaigner and
knowing this they established real training
camp in Butte, six weeks ago, and the Judge
has been undergoing a thorough system of
training at the hands of experts in the politi-
cal game and his training has been just as
carefully and punctilliously performed as that
of ring champion.
Not being on the inside of democratic infor-
nation we don't know whether the Judge will
have serious opposition in his party ranks or
not. There has been considerable talk of Judge
Roy Ayres getting into the race. Judge Ayres
resigned a judgeship in the Tenth Judicial
district less than two years ago, and moved
from LeWistown to Great Falls where he is en-
gagged in the practice of law. If the judge deter
mines to enter the race he would not be COM
PEELED, nor would it be necessary for him to en-
ter candidates school He knows the ms and
outs afcampaigning probably more thoroughly
than do the fellows that are training Judge
Erickson and could give them some valuable
pointers as to how to groom candidate With
al Judge Ayers is genial fellow well met and
has a host of friends and acquaintance all
over the state. If he should conclude to run it
is possible the Judge Ericksons systematic
training will be all for naught.
AT any rate the Kalispel man would know at
the time he got through that he had been in a
real boss race
Silver went up to 65 and 5-8 cents last
week. If it could be held there numerous good
silver mines IN Montana would open up, no
doubt and give employment to several hundred
men.
1t seems to be perfectly proper down in
Washington to investigate everybody except
members of the Investigating committees.
When these sleuths hear that some one is on
their trail they howl loud and long.

When the lockers strike began
Macdonald went into the country for
a weekend, instructing his secretary
to issue a statement denying that he
would intervene unless "called upon"
The strikers adopted a resolution
calling upon him ito use at once
emergency powers to take full con-
troll of all shipping and docks, and
pay the increase asked for by the
lockers until the employers and the
union has reached a solution to the
difficulty" Certainly a modest de-
mandl But Macdonald evidently did
not hear the "calp'; he was not yet
"called upon by the employers. The
lockers, aided by the overwhelming
public opinion, including sections of
the capitalists but not the Labor"
government, finally won half their
demands with a promise of the rest
on June LIST. But Macdonald and
his government did nothing but issue
warnings that the food supply must
be insured, making his warnings
equally threats against the workers
and capitalists.
Division in the Labor Party.
All these are things not reported
in the capitalist press, and are the
real cause of the ferment going on
within the Labor Party that promises
the development of a militant left
wing with mass support before long.
Evidences of the many conflicting
elements within the Labor Party are
seen by glancing over the pages of
the Daily Herald, organ of the Labor
Party and Trade Union Congress.
While the railroad strike was on this

paper carried, ndiscriminately, mani
festos Of the strikers, manifestos Of
Thomas denouncing the strike, gov
eminent proclamations, advertise
ments from the striking unions, and
advertisements of the railroad COM
panies. In other words, it was non
partisan-it took the typical liberal
bourgeois attitude. Meanwhile large
sections Of the labor movement wera
theoretically supporting the strike,
even including many minor leaders.
The slogan of the Communists: "A
craft union that fights is better than
an industrial union that funks,7 gain
ed great popularity. Another evi-
dence of the conflicting views within
the Labor Party is seen in the Feb
ruary issue of the Labor Magazine,
official organ Of the Labor Party,
which carries, along side the typical
class collaboration bunk of Fabian
ism, strong eulogy Of Lenin, hail
ing him as "the greatest leader Of the
working class Of the world"

All Of these developments were
doubtless forseen by the Liberal
Party leaders when they put the
Labor Party into power. Thay do,

and put the Liberals back into power
more securely than ever, with much
dirty work done for them without

are actually accomplishing h nat

pointed out as the prerequisite Ear q

of Thalheimer, leader of the German
Communist Party, writing on the Mt

IF the astute English bourgeoisia
is reckoning rightly that the next
political move on the political chess
board win be in its favor, it is over
looking the fact that it is precisely
inevitable disappointment of the Eng

liberal Labor government that win

But, It can also isolate itself by q
badly prepared action.
In presenting this problem It Is
absolutely necessary to take into
consideration the relation which ex-
lists between the numerical force of
the Party and that Of the morgan
lied masses.
The failure Of the policy Of the
German Communist Party in March,
1921, ought to serve US as m ex-

is ridiculous to think that the masses

Street action, carefully prepared,
in which the working class fights to
attain an aim which it has learned

~ AMSAY MACDONALD had not
~ even time to warm the Premier's
chair when he was put up against
the question of questions for the
Labor Government: Fer Labor or for
Capital? The railroad strike, carried
out by the AmaIgamated Society Of
Locomotivemen and Firemen in spite
of the desertion Of the National
Union of Railwaymen (headed BY
Thomas, cabinet memberl; the
lockers strike, tying up all ports
in Britain and threatening the coun-
try with starvation; the promised
strikes of building tradesmen. tex
tile workers, and miners-an of these
put to Macdonald the same question
asked by workers the world over:
"Are you really a Labor Government
or are you Capitalist Government ?"
Capitalists Also Want to Know.
That the capitalists are anxious
to know just how far Macdonald
takes his socialism seriously was
shown, as was also MacDonald's tacs
tics of evasion, by an incident in the
House of Commons on Feb. 26th.
Sir w. Davidson asked the Prime
Minister if he "could give assurance
that neither he nor any members of
the government were any longer in
any way connected with the Socialist
international" Macdonald replied
that all members of the government
had resigned from official positions
in the international, and that the
Labor Party afiiliation "was purely
voluntary and could be terminated at
any time, should necessity arise"
This reply was evasion, so tar as
the workers are concerned, but the
capitalists understood the real an
swer behind it, which is plainly:
"The international is good camou-
f1age to keep the workers fooled; but
don't worry, we'll smash it if it in
terferes with government as usual. /"
Strike policy of the Labor govern
ment is similar mixture of evasion,
assurances to the employers, and
covert activity against strikers.
Cabinet Member Calls for Scabbing.

in the Macdonald cabinet, is at the

same time head Of the National
Union of Railwaymen. His organi-
cation was party to resistance to the
wage cuts, in common with the loco
motive men and clerks, but deserted
the enginemen when the wages board
issued a decision in favor of the
companies. The N. U. r. is an in
dustrial union and in the past has
looked down upon the Amalgamated
Society as craft-conscious and con-
sentative. But now, the roles were
reversed. The conservative engine
men struck, putting up the first ma
tional wage battle since the Inflated
Black Friday Of 1921, while the
progressive" N. u. R., under the
leadership of Thomas, issued mani
festo calling upon its members to
stay at work as if nothing was going
on. The manifesto said, among
other things:
"Some discussion on the word
blacklegging has taken place but the
member of the N. u. r. who ceases
work or refuses to do any job that
he would have done if there had
been no strike is blackleg to the
signature Of his accredited represen-
tatives. ;"
The cabinet member, Thomas, who
signed this official scab order, is the
same Thomas who broke up the triple
alliance of railroad workers, trans
port workers, and miners, on Black
Friday; his 1921 treason inaugurated
the period of decline, 1928, during
which the British unions lost over
1900, 900 members. But his present
treachery, according to present indi-
cations, is only going to hasten the
process of establishment within the
Labor Party, and the formation of a
left wing therein. The strike wave
now on shows no signs Of being
checked by his action.
Labor" Government Really Liberal
Bourgeois"
The truth is becoming plain to the
British workers, that the so-called
Labor government is really more eau
tious and conservative than the lib
eral bourgeoisie. 1t is, at the same
time, putting over policies that would
bring a storm of protest from the

Marxism, Blanquism and Street Action

For in order to win over the ma
jority of the working class it il nee.
essary to go to the masses, to fight
for the everyday struggle, to pre-
vent "putches" and to transform
the Party more and more into true
mass party.
But, even tho condemned by the
Third International, traces of Blan-
quism still remain within the inter-
national revolutionary movement. 1t
is in France, the country of Blanqui,
that these traces make themselves
fet most clearly.
Street Action.
One of the most important forms
of revolutionary activity is the
street demonstration. However, the
sense, the form and the purpob of
these demonstration will vary COM
pletely according to whether they are
inspired by a Blanquist or Marxist
spirit.
For a Blanquist, the street DEM
onstration must serve above all, to
keep track of the fiexibleness and
elasticity of the Party, to determine
whether the whole mechanism obeys
with sufficient promptitude the orders
Of central command.
The Blanquists prepare a demon
stration in great secrecy, so as to
take the enemy always by surprise.
Nobody, except the initiated, know
the place, the date, and the purpose
of this demonstration.
In showing himself at the right
moment to the helpless mass, the
Blanquist chief should be able to lead
the mass after him, and that is why
Blanquist action always takes on the
air of a conspiracy.
Marxists, a totally different char
acter.
If, on the one hand, the Party
should use it for getting its appren-
ticeship of revolutionary fighting. on
the other hand, and above all, it
should serve 10 train and educate
large unorganized masses by direct
participation in the struggle.
That is why the purpose Of a DEM
onstration should be systematically
and amply explained to the masses.
The masses ought to feel the nee
cssity for the demonstration, and
wherever the circumstances permit,
the masses should be carefully pre-
pared by meetings, by a campaign OF
the press and by every means at the
disposal Of the Party.

4 DUARD BERNSTEIN in his IA
~ nous book, which is given up
to criticism Of Marxism tried to
show that revolutionary Marxism
was not a homogeneous whole. Ac-
cording to him the fundamental doc
trine of Karl Marx which should have
led to evolutionist and reformist con-
illusions was deformed and deviated
by strong influence of Blanquism.
This criticism is unfounded.
According to the Blanquist doc
trine the Revolution should be the
work of small and closed groups, but
closely united and disciplined; they
profit by difficult situation in which
the capitalist government finds itself,
to overturn it by a daring coup and
to establish a dictatorship of the
revolutionary party.
Marxism is revolutionary in a diff
ferent way altogether.
The Revolution in itself is not a
coup carried out by a small heroic
group, it is the inevitable outcome of
the development of capitalism, pro-

CARNATIONS.
Marx Opposed to "Putch."
Marx was an irreconcilable enemy
of the "putch." The fight against
Bakunin within the First Interna-
tional has proved it sufficiently.
The Third international has re-
NAMED resolutely within the Marxist
path in adopting at it's Third Con-
gress a thesis closing the door to
all Blanquist deviation. This thesis
specifies that to make the Revolution
triumph the majority of the working
class must be converted to Commun-
list idea.
It would be dangerous to conceive
of this slogan in mechanical way.
1t will be impossible to determine by
the help Of statistics whether the
majority Of the working class has
been won over to Communism.
Only in the course of the struggle
is it possible to determine, in the
final instance, the influence Of the
party, and the response among the
masses to our slogan.
But the Importance Of the above
mentioned thesis lies, above all, in the
directions which II gives/to the Com
munist parties for their daily
struggle.
