NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-
James P. Cannon, who will open
his campaign as candidate for
governor Of New York state on
the Workers Party ticket at
big rally on Thursday evening,
Oct. 2, at 8 p. M, at Hunts
Point Palace, o35 Southern
Boulevard, near 163rd Street,
Bronx, today issued a stirring
statement to the workers OF
New York.
"The United States, which is
the wealthiest country of the
world, denies to the millions of
workers and exploited farmers
the good things of life. Long
hours of work or unemployment
is the lot of the worker. Mil
lions of farmers are bankrupt.
And all this while the Garys,
Morgans, Rockefellers, Fords,
McCormicks and other great
capitalists are getting ever
cicher.
Government Strikebreaker.
"The government is capitalist in
stutution serving the capitalists and
grinding down the workers. The cor
rupt capitalist government breaks
strikes by use of injunctions and
troops. The workers can expect
nothing from the candidates Of the
capitalist system, the strikebreaker
Coolidge, the Morgan-Rockefeller
lawyer Davis, and the candidate of
email business LaFollette. The work
ers can no longer let themselves be
heceived by the socialists who have
lost every right of speaking in the
name of the working class when they
lined up with L4aFollette, a middle
class candidate. The workers should
support the Workers Party which
stands for a workers and farmers
government and for the Communist
system Of production. The workers
and farmers of Russia have already
set the example in this direction
1.-THE Workers Party is in the fore
front of every struggle of the work
ers. The immediate program of the
Workers Party is: The creation of a
mass Farmer-Labor Party, national
ization of industry and workers con-
troll. compelling industry and govern
ment to pay wages to the unemployed,
stopping the use of injunction, police
and soldiers against workers, release
of all political class war prisoners,
land for the users, opposing militarism
and imperialist wars, recognition Of
Soviet Russia.
VIII Explain Program.
In my speech at the Hunts Point
Palace meeting on Oct. 2 l will en-
deavor to present our full program
so that the workers present will be
able to Judge whether the Workers
Party deserves their support"
There is a treat in store for the au-
dience at the Hunts Point Palace
meeting, as Cannon is an exception
ally fine speaker. He will give the
Communist viewpoint, he will expose
the corruption of the old capitalist
parties and the false pretenses Of the
LaFollette progressives and socialists.
W. p. in Fight on Bosses.
The Workers Party is making lone
but effective fight against capitalism.
The socialist party in joining with
LaFollette lined up on the side of cap
italism. Cannon will lay bare the
treachery Of the socialist party which
makes a false claim Of being a party
of the working class. No class con-
scious worker can afford to miss the
opportunity of being present at the
big campaign rally of the local can
didates Of the Workers Party. There
will be a number Of other speakers
besides Cannon.
On Friday, Oct. 3, Cannon will adj
dress meeting at the Queens County
labor Lyceum, 7s5 Forest Avenue.
