Socialists Make Sure
Suicide Is Successful
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

TODAY the socialists have made douby sure that the sui
eide Of their party will be completely successful at TINS
years elections.
They left no possible escape from death when the
pays national executive committee issued the official con-
when the candidate party
approval for Progressive Political Action and
chance Of election may be best IN the
campaign abstain from making rival nomination.!
Bi-ohoride of mercury or potassium cyanide not
deadly human life than this policy will be upon the
Pickering political life of what remains of the socialist party
In only congressional district in the land that now
represented by Victor l. Berger congress- can the social
lists be said possess that ephemera thing called, The
chance of election" Everywhere else the land one
finds only the graveyards Of the socialist political hopes OF
years gone BY
This is true even in New York City. There LaGuardia
the republican, who has trailing the LaFoIette band
wagon is already congress in the strongest socialist dis
trc Under their policy the socialists will be compelled
to swallow LaGuardia they have swallowed the LaFo-
lette and Wheeler" ticket.
Under their policy the socialists will everywhere be
compelled work for the election of old payites This
shown to be douby true since is working out in practice
that the LaFoette forces everywhere declaring war on
the Farmer-Labor Party movement
This shown the attack of the LaFolIette follow
ing the Minnesota Federation of Labor Convention
against the idea of independent political action.
1t shown in the refusal of the Conference for Pro-
gressve Political Action in Montana, to endorse Farmer
labor Party officials already in office for reelection.
1t was even slapped into the face OF Morris Hllqut'
te agent of the railroad brotherhoods sent out the call
for the meeting of the New York Conference for Progressive
Political Action, to be held in Albany, August 49, without
even inviting HIquit and his fellow socialists to attend.
The fact that national office of the Conference for
Progressive Political Action Washington, appointed Nor
Hquit Gilbert {. Rowe and Thomas E Ryan as COM
ttee to call full convention does not change the stua
Even suicides given the last chance of hurryup
rush to the hospital.
Class conscious workers and farmers everywhere are
called upon fight this year under the Communist stan
dards of the Workers Party Only the fight for the Conn
munst candidates. William z. Foster, for president and
Benjamin Gitow for vcepresiden will the class interests
of The
political struggle Only thru the refusal of militant labor to
take the socialist bait held out by the little busi
ness" ticket refusing betray its class interests
will it be possible continue building for the great class
party of workers and farmers.
The socialist party may commit suicide it is doing.
The reactonary oifcaIdo Of labor may run after LaFol-
ette and Wheeler in the two old parties OF Wall Street
But greater and greater of workers and farm
ers confronted daily with their problems will realize
their interests, enter vigorously than ever into
the growing class struggle and march onward ever more
TO the final victory.
