must be successfully carried out-oth-
erwise we cannot function as a poll
teal party in this campaign.
The Campaign Needs Money.
The raising of adequate finances is
of equal importance. The campaign
cannot be successfully conducted
without money. The vigorous solicita-
ton of campaign funds will add to
the strength of the party as whole,
national, district and local.
The workers are now interested in
political questions. Special campaign
literature will carry our Communist
message to places hitherto not pene-
trated. This will increase the under
standing of our party aims and Gre
ate for us a wider standing and pres
tige. The same applies to our gener-
al party literature, which in this cam
paign should be specially pushed. The
general party literature, if widely dis
tributed, will help to clear up much
of the confusion which now exists in

gent workers, as to political ques-
tions.
1t should be continuously pointed
out that we are the only political par
ty that fights against capitalism. The
revolutionary workers, who are anxi-
Gus to join in this fight, must be
drawn into our party. At all our
campaign meetings, special appeals
should be made for new members.
Spread The "DAILY WORKER"
Hard as the election campaign may
be, it would be still harder if not for
our American Communist newspaper
The DAILY WORKER. The special
campaign issues of the DAILY
WORKER should be widely distribut-
ed. They will make an appeal all
their own. The DAILY WORKER
must be placed where it can bring its
appeal to millions of American work
ers in their own language.
A principle consideration in this
campaign is to reach large masses of
workers. This problem deserves spe-

cial attention from our local units.
Many are inclined to be content with
efforts that only reach that sympa-
thetic fringe always more or less
close to our party and that general
ly accepts its leadership. We must
mobilize all Of our sympathizers. Com
mittees Of sympathizers supporting
the candidates. Of Comrade Foster
and Gitlow, and accepting our cleo
ton campaign program, must be or
ganised.
The development of finance capital
and the classification Of industry in
America lead inevitably toward po-
litical solution of the various indus
trial problems confronting the Amer
lean workers. Campaign propaganda
must emphasize the industrial prob
lens and suggest the political solu-
ton which our party fights for. Our
immediate program must be stressed
when speaking and appealing to in
dustrial workers.
Above all, this campaign offers us
a tremendous opportunity to educate
the masses to the need for real
fight against American imperialist
capitalism. 1t can now be made
clearer than ever before that the me-
chanical development of industry
with the consequent justification pro-
NOTED by finance capital and protect
ed by an ultra-capitalist state, make
the carrying out by the workers of
an international revolutionary pro-
gram the only escape. The class
struggle in America becomes ever
sharper. To be the vanguard of this
struggle is our role.
Our party must emerge from this
campaign with an increased revolu-
tionary spirit. Our militant election
campaign must drive home to work
ers everywhere, at the grass roots and
in the mines, the burning necessity
for the organization of Soviets and
the establishment of the proletarian
dictatorship. We must answer I'm
perialist America with Soviet Amer
'ica.

problems in their district can co-or-
dinate the work of the local units
and the district as a whole.
Duties of Local Units.
The local units of our party are the
real basis of this political campaign.
Never before has our rank and file
had such splendid opportunity for
general participation with a Commun-
list program in a great political strug-
gle. Every member of branch can
and must engage in this political cam
paign to the fullest extent. The real
battle must be fought by them. The
burden of carrying out the campaign
fight is upon their shoulders.
The local campaign committee can
reach masses of workers with whom
no other party unit comes in contact.
Their objective is to strengthen the
political influence of the party and
spread the message Of Communism.

giles in America, the candidates al

since he was twenty years old. Born
Of working-class parents he was
obliged to go to work when ten years
old and has followed several occupa-
tions such as, type founder steam en-
gineer, railroad brakeman and rail-
road conductor.
He joined the Socialist Party in
1900 and was expelled with the left
wing from that organization in the
State of Washington in 1909 by the
reactionary officialdop. He joined
the Industrial Workers of the World,
went to Europe to study conditions
there and on his return announced his
conviction that the /. w. w. policy
of dual unionism was wrong.
Every step in Fosters career was
directed by his desire to help the
working class. Having reached the
conclusion that dual unionism
strengthened the reactionary elements
in the labor unions and separated the
radicals from the masses, Foster
proceeded to organize the radicals for
effective work inside the trade unions.
In 1917 he was secretary of COM
mite that organized 100000 packing
workers. After that he was secretary
of committee that organized $50, 900
steel workers and led a strike in
which 100000 of Gary's steel slaves
participated.
Comrade Foster has been to Russia
three times since the Soviet Republic
was established and has written sew
eral books on labor topics.
Foster has devoted his energy, his
ability and his life to the interests of
the working class and the hatred
which the capitalists bear towards
him is a testimony to his fidelity to
the working-class movement.
Benjamin Gitlow has been an active
member of the trade union move
ment since 1913. He is member of
the Amalgamated Clothing Workers.
Gitlow Joined the Socialist Party in
1910. In 1917 he was elected on an
anti-war program to the New York
Legislature. He associated himself
with the left wing of the Socialist
Party and was co-editor with John

BY JOSEPH MANLEY,
Campaign Manager, Workers Pal

Campaign Manager, Workers Party.
The Workers Party occupies his
toric position in the present election
campaign. The Workers Party is the
only proletarian party that fights
against capitalism, represented by
Coolidge and Davis-and the left wing
of Wall Street, represented by LaFol-
lette.
The Workers Party fights against
the interests of this whole combina-
ton and stands for the interests of
the workers and exploited farmers.
Our immediate objective is therefore,
to draw into the struggle, the larg-
est possible section of the exploited
masses. Our various party units,
both in districts and locals, must be
modified as never before.
We must come thru this campaign
with thousands of new members, in
creased confidence among the masses
and having brought them one step
nearer the proletarian revolution. Our
problem is to organize a mighty ma
chinery before we can accomplish the
various tasks that will be necessary
to the making of successful cleo
ton campaign.
What the Federations Can Do.
In this machinery our declarations,
being national in scope, occupy fore
most position. The federation papers,
thru campaign articles and news
items can issue special appeals and
give much aid to the campaign. The
federation papers can be useful in
reaching otherwise inaccessible plac-
es with our Communist program. The
Federations Executive Committees
should hold regular and frequent
meetings to discuss and execute the
work of the campaign.
The Federations Secretaries occu-
by strategic position. They, by in
terest and effort, can contribute much.

er planning and by frequent and care

candidate on the Democratic ticket is
a political accident. He was selected
to occupy the tail end of the Davis
bandwagon only because the Demo
cratic strategists feared that his
brother William would bolt the ticket
unless the family was given a sop.
Charles w. is the bone thrown to the
so-called liberal Democrats. He will
do his masters bidding and has no
record behind him that means any
thing one way or the other.
Robert Marion LaFollette has been
political stormy petrol for decades.
While he oftentimes disagreed with
the Republican Party he Stayed within
its folds and did not even follow
Roosevelt in 1912 when Terrible Teddy
threw the harpoon into Taft and
paved the way for Woodrow Wilson
to land in the White House. LaFol-
lette was the bosom friend of Boise
Penrose, the most reactionary man in
the Republican Party. His anti-war
attitude, mild tho it was, brot him into
disfavor with the plutes and It is this
incident in his career more than any
thing else that has given him the
reputation of being a radical.
Burton X. Wheeler is an ambitious
lawyer whose sole claim to progress.
siveness is his refusal to join in
bounding radicals in Butte, Montana
during the war; His prosecution OF
Harry Daugherty before a senate in
vestigating committee got him into
the limelight.
Even the so-called liberals among
the six prominent capitalist candi
dates above named have never done
anything constructive in behalf of the
working class. They believe in the
capitalist system and want to pre-
serve it. They would clip it's claws
perhaps, and endeavor to make it omre
bearable, but overthrow it they would
not.
Let us compare the records of the
capitalist candidates to those who
are carrying the Communist banner
in these elections, William 2. Foster
and Benjamin Gitlow.
