This should be the attitude Of the
Farmer-Labor party towards the com
ing convention of the c. P. P. A. in
Cleveland on July 4. All those in the
c. P. P. A. who really favor independ-
ent political action by the workers and
poor farmers must be absorbed into
the Farmer-Labor party. For this the
convention Of June II has made all
necessary provisions.
1t is perfectly clear by this time that
the dominating forces in the July A
convention will oppose even the ideas
Of a farmer-Iabor party. If McAdoo
1oes not get the nomination ,of the
Democratic party, then the C. P. P. A.
may endorse LaFollette as an indie
pendent candidate Which will mean,
under the circumstances, just as seri-
ous a betrayal of the cause Of the
workers as the endorsement Of either
of the two old parties.
When this happens, many Of those
at present supporting the c. P. P. A.

party in a common cause. These ele-
ments must be encouraged, supported
and helped along generally to free
themselves as soon as possible from
the hegemony of middle class liberal
ism and to get into the ranks-of the
Farmer-Labor party.
Our immediate detectives, there
fore. are:
Build the state and local -organiza-
lions Of the Farmer-Labor party.
Affiliate to it all organizations of
workers and poor farmers.
Fight LaFollette and LaFolletteism
wherever you come in contact with it.
Utilize the general. breakup of the

the Farmer-Labor party
And while doing all this, remember
the one slogan that holds good for

is:

Agricultural Tenancy in the South

and the barn lot buildings are the
screen of family privacy. Soil pol
luton by body waste is the rule here
as elsewhere thruout the country re-
gions of the United States.
Shiftlessness and homelessness
creates also an attitude OF indiffer-
ence of both owner and tenant par
ents toward the development. of
schools. Tenancy and iliteracy go
hand in hand. The poor tenant un-
able TO exc out living are forced
to pit the labor Of his children against
the owners Land and goods. Instead
Of being in the schools, the children
are in the fields. Hence, the high
percentage of illiteracy in the rural
regions OF the South. In Tennessee,
II was found that 70 percent of the
children did not attend school be-
cause their labor was needed on the
farms. In other states. the percent
age OF flliteracy is about the same.

it, in such a position with regard to
the G. P. p. A. and LaFolIette as to
give the former decided advantages
over the latter.
These advantages are: A national
former-labor center, in fact, the only
national center in the country. This
means leadership and organization,
nationally, by states and locally, for a
fight all along the line against the
G. P. P. A. and LaFoIlette If they re-
main true to their nature.
1t means, in addition, an election
machinery practically all over the
country for the first real national cam
paign of Farmer-Labor party. Also
whatever sentiment Of working class
nature will be generated and crystal
lized in the coming election, it will
not be dissipated, but will be assimi-
lated by the Farmer-Labor party and
utilized by it for the building up of
real mass movement Of workers and
poor farmers.

Thus we see, that tenancy in the
South means that the control of the
farms is passing more and more into
the hands Of few; it means that our
tenants, who lack capital, must de-
pend upon the fertilizer manufacturer.
the supply merchant and the bank; it
means, when the years crops are
sold and debts settled, that there is
practically no balance left for the
tenant to help him in a new years
start; it means in most cases that the
.nnnord is the sole gamer from the
tears farm labor; it means decreased
seaport for the rural schools and H.
i.teracy; it means few comforts and
conveniences in the rural home; it
means constant migration of our rural
population; it fosters absenteeism
and political bossism, etc. In brief,
under the tenancy system the land
lords become the masters OF the COM
munity politically as well as econom-
ically.

the cropper's children seems to ex-
tend only to the fourth reader. The
parents, on the other hand, lack read
ing matter and interest in the world
beyond.
All this means to lead an empty ex-
istence. Besides, the troopers and
renters, who are forced to move from
place to place with the seasons, are
considered mere outsiders and are
hardly recognized as a part of the
community. They are left out of the
local activities. In one locality it was
found that 20 percent of the tenants
had not attended party during tho
year and had not been to public
meeting. Occasional visit to the
city serves as means to break the
monotony Of life. 1t is easy to ex-
plain why horrible lynchings Of Neg
roes thruout the South attract large
crowds. Sad as it may be, it is an
other way of breaking the inonotony
Of the miserable existence.

leadership and control. This decision
completely disposes of any possibility
Of the Farmer-Labor party, now or in
the future, endorsing LaFolIette as an
Independent candidate.
Thus our main aims have been ac-
complished. At the same time we
were successful at the convention in
preventing an alliance between the
center and the right, thereby com.
pletely isolating the two reactionary
gentlemen, Starkey and Taylor, who
instead of staging dramatic split
vanished from the scene without any
one noticing it.
