Opposition to LaFolIette Revivlng.
1t is clear that the strong opposi-
ton shown by the LaFollette machine
during the election campaign to the
existing farmer-labor organizations
has only succeeded in sowing among
the masses the seeds Of strong oppo-
sition to LaFollette domination over
them Thus, we find again the
Minnesota Trade Union Advocate of
Nov 20, 1924, declaring: "Just what
attitude Senator LaFollette and his
progressive colleagues who we're en-
gagged in the recent campaign will
take in the formation of a new party
remains to be seen. 1t were much
better that they withdrew entirely
from the movement il they insist on
mongrel organization of liberals
without any definite economic prin-
ciples upon which to build, and to
guarantee permanency." The same
journal goes on to say: 1.-THE organ
lied workers Of Minnesota are COM
mitted absolutely to a political party
of the wealth producers; and have q
definite and determined course of
action developed"
It is as yet only a few weeks after
election. But already there are multi
plying signs of strong revival Of
aggressive opposition to LaFoIlette
domination in the ranks Of the farmer
labor movement. 1t is only natural
that the first tangible disqualification
of establishment with LaFolletteism
should manifest itself In Minnesota
where the farmer-labor movement had
strong substantial basis in the eco
nomic organizations of the workers.
1t is only matter of time when
similar anti-LaFollette manifestations
will be displayed in other sections Of
the farmer-labor movement.
LaFoIIette "Swaliowers"
Disintegrating.
And while the farmer-labor move
ment is already, only few weeks
after election, raising its head out Of
the LaFollette campaign debris, the
LaFolIette movement itself is showing
increasing signs of disintegration. The
Gompers right-about face, the hasty
retreat of Wheeler into the democratic
party, the unspeakable ccwardice of
William H. Johnston at the American
Federation Of Labor convention, and
the degrading vacillation and hest
fancy of the LaFollette congressional
leaders only auger the probable dis
carding by the petty bourgeoisie of
their plan to organize their own new
party.
In the face of the multiplying signs
of the decline of LaFollette's strength
and the increasing signs of farmer
labor revival, it is the plainest folly
to contend that the election alliance
of the farmer-laborites with the La
Toilette organization means that the
latter has swallowed the mass farmer
labor sentiment and destroyed for
years, the farmer-labor movements
means of enabling the Communists
to rally about their own political
party, the Workers Party, masses of
workers and poor farmers over whom
it is seeking to establish its leader
ship.

to belittle them is symptomatic of the
falsity of their whole theory. 1t Is a
warning signal to the party.
The G. e. G. theses does not over
state the case when 1t says bIuntly
that the policy of the minority leads
to the liquidation Of the Workers
Party. OF course, no one will say that
this is the conscious purpose Of the
minority. We are sure that the com
rades Of the minority have no other
object than to advance the cause of
Communism. But in their over-zeal
to find a short cut to the goal of a
popular mass Communist Party, they
have already put their feet on a path
that leads backward and not forward.
I'm dealing with questions OF policy"
said Comrade Zinoviev at the Fifth
Congress, I'VE have to consider OBJ
jective effects and not subjective in
tentions." 1t is by this standard that
we measure the policy of the minority
and condemn it, and declare openly
our firm intention to fight it to death.
We do not need to wait for the
comrades Of the minority to get con-
troll Of the party and put their policy
into effect in order to prove that ii
is a false policy The minority has
already proven It, not only in words,
but In deeds.
Seven Facts Which Prove the LiuuIda.
tion Tendency Of the Minority
Policy.
On this point facts can speak for
themselves. In order to bolster up
their false and dangerous policy of
demanding farmer-labor party at all
costs, right or wrong, dead or alive
whether the workers are interested in
1t or not, the minority is forced to
minimize and deprecate even the mod.
est achievements of the Workers
Party and to invest the GLASS farmer
labor party" with virtues it does not
and cannot possess-unless it is a
fgeHuine Communist Party. The minor
ity has already started out on this
course as the following facts bear wit
ness:
I. In order to minimize before the
G. !. the showing made by the party
in the election campaign, the minority
proposed in the c. e. C. meeting O.
Nov. IA to answer the Communist In
ternational's inquiry about our vote il
the following words: Workers Party
vote very small; will not excees
twenty thousand" They took thil
stand at time when we already
knew that over ten thousand .votei
had been counted for us in New Yorl
City and the state of Minnesota alone
and when we already had evidence o
wholesale frauds against-us
2. In order to minimize our cleo
ton achievements before the party
the minority opposed and ridiculed
the G. E. G. estimate of 100000 votes
(including the votes stolen from u.s.
and voted against our motion "Tha
we issue statement claiming 100,
900 votes and citing incidents in which
votes were stolen from u.s."

luke-warm interest in getting the fact.
about the size of our vote that it tool
two meetings Of the political commit
tee and more than a weeks delay be
fore we could get letter sent to al

THE MINORITY ATTITUDE TOWARD OUR ELECTION
CAMPAIGN-A WARNING SIGNAL FOR THE PARTY

THIS important matter
4. Comrades Minor and XII Use,
chief spokesman Of the minority in
the recent Chicago membership meet
ing, ridicuied the showing made by
the party in the elections, Comrade
Minor sarcastically comparing it to
the S. l.. p.
5. Comrade Bedacht, at the same
meeting, said, Our party was less be-
fore the masses during the election
campaign than at any time during the
past two years.
6. Writing in the November Work
ers Monthly, Comrade Ruthenberg
attributes qualities to a labor" party
that only Communist Party can
possess. He says: "a labor party
speaks in the name Of labor. 1t calls
upon the workers for action. Or if it
is a farmer-labor party it calls upon
the workers and farmers and speaks
in their name"
7. Writing in the December Work
ers Monthly, Comrade Ruthenberg
associates class political action"
Exclusively with the farmer-labor
party We, who believe the Workers
Party represents "class political ac-
ton" are disdainfully swept aside in
the following Words "A group in our
party, under the leadership Of Com
rade Foster, is of the opinion that
the movement towards class political
action by labor is dead and that, there
fore, the Workers Party must abandon
the slogan For a Glass Farmer-Labol
Party
The Struggle Against "Farmer-Labor
ism" Is Only Beginning.
The struggle between the Central
Executive Committee and the minority
over the question of future policy is
only beginning. The party has not
yet had time to study the two theses
Bnt already the comrades of the
minority have given us seven concrete
examples of the objective effects OF
their good intentions to build mass
Communist party quickly" by means
of the magic formula Of a "Class
Farmer-Labor Party" And this is
only the beginning.
So false is their policy and so far
afield will they be compelled to go to
defend it, that before the discussion
period has come to close, the whole
party will be able to understand, or
the basis of evidence which the com
rades Of the MINORITY will supply
that their policy would lead the party
into the swamp. 81
The minority thesis fails to say the
party did right to raise its own banner
In the election campaign because tn,
comrades of the minority have no en-
thusiasm over the great historical
significance of the banner of Com
muntsm having been raised for The
first time in national election il
America, and because it must belittls
and deride the great achievements O
our party in the campaign in order Il
convince the party and the Communis
international that the Workers Part,
is failure, that it cannot speak tt
the masses in its own name, and must
therefore, hide itself behind another
organization and another name.
/ The comrades of the minority hav,
started out on false path, but tn,
party win not follow them. When tn,
party has studied and discussed thu
question and considered the objective
: effects. Of the false policy of tn,
minority it will give such a decisiv
answer that 'Farmer-Labor Commur
ism will never raise its head agail
lin the Workers Party.
