third, liberal party mot to our liking"
When Levin was asked to inform
the members who deserved to know of
the stand taken in the G. e. B. by
Schlossberg, he refused to answer.
G. <. B. Contradictory.
Again no answer was made when il
was pointed out that the G. E. B. had
at first spoken of its differences with
LaFollette and Wheeler and directly
contradicted itself in an editorial in
the official organ, Advance, of August
20, where it said of LaFollette that he
was a man who could be absolutely
depended upon not to use the powers
of the government against organized
labor" and that Burton Wheeler had
a record which was 100 per cent in
favor of labor in it's struggles" If
Wheeler was 100 per cent for the
workers, then there was absolutely
no difference between him and Hill
man or Levin. After all, there cannot
be a loyalty to an idea or a group
that rises above 100 per cent!
The discussion showed plainly that
while many of the LaFollette support.
ers were undoubtedly sincere, they
were consciously or unconsciously mis-
leading the workers. None of the
arguments of the left wing wing mem.
bers of the local that spoke, were re.
piled to by the LaFollette boosters. A
moral victory was won by the oppo-
nents of LaFollette. A show Of hands
showed that they had been refeated
numerically.

BOB'S new YORK
talk LEFT HIS
AUDIENCE COLD

Especial to the DAILY WoRKER)
NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-Thousands
who came to see the modern Moses,
who promises, all by his lonesome, to
lead the people" of the United States
into the promised land provided they
ask him no questions, walked out of
Madison Square Garden after Robert
Marion LaFollette reached the legal
istic part of his speech on the supreme
court.
Most of the effectiveness of the
speech was lost, because of an en-
gagement with the radio. Continual
panning Of the audience for money al
so created irritation. This function
was in the hands of the socialist party
and however we may quarrel with
them because of their incapability as
revolutionists, we must admit they are
masters of the art of passing the hat.
Morris Illuminated.
The platform was graced by the
presence of Morris Hillquit, whose
memory must have gone back to other
days when the strains of the 1nterna-
tional were heard in that auditorium
and the message Of revolution thrilled
the hearts of the audience. But on
this occasion, there was no talk of the
red flag, of the class struggle, or the
interests Of the working class. 1t was
"better than thou" meeting, with a
craw-thumping political revivalist
playing the role Of Billy Sunday, and
his rear brot up by old sinners like
Morris Hillquit, who had reformed and
no longer walked in the paths of evil.
The only real enthusiasm engender.
ed at the meeting was that produced
when LaFollette took slam at the
late war.

Foster Vote Is Just
Double That for
Davis at Pullman

Continued from page y
shops yesterday, as did John w.
Davis, jackass candidate for
president.
Foster received 3S votes, as
compared to 10 for Davis. La
Toilette again led with 127 and
Coolidge received SO votes.
See Illusion At Work.
The large vote for Foster and La,
Toilette demonstrates that the masses
of the workers have split away from
the two old parties of capitalism.
They place their faith in LaFollette,
but as soon as they are disillusioned
about the middle class candidate,
thousands Of workers will flock to the
Communist banner.
Private detectives were planted in
front of the Pullman company gates
lat 111th Street, when the Workers
Party volunteers were distributing
their sample ballots during the lunch
hour. They did not interfere how
ever.
Some Refuse to Vote.
Many of the workers expressed
themselves as being disgusted with
the two old parties, and some declared
that they would not vote at all.
The vote in front of the entrance
for executives again demonstrates
that Collidge is the candidate for the
bosses and the white collar boys who
have hopes of some day becoming cap
italists.
Underdogs For Foster
The vote by the executive force of
the Pullman company was 20 for Cool
idge, Is for Davis, So for LaFollette,
and 3 for Foster. In direct contrast
to this, was the vote of the workers
themselves. The employees, who work
under the most vicious non-union con-
ditions and are oppressed by a speed
UP system and by blood-sucking COM
pany union, and who would not be ex-
pected to be in touch with the most
militant ideas, nevertheless, gave 38
votes for Foster, 127 for LaFollette,
and only Sc for Coolidge and 10 for
Davis.
