BY JOSEPH MANLEY
mpai1n Manager, Workers Party.


William z. Foster, PRESIDENT
al candidate of the Workers
Party will start out on the last
stretch of his seventeen thous-
and-mile campaign itinerary.
Foster, in the home stretch
of the Communist election cam
paign will cover the large and
most thickly populated states
of the east. A series of meet
ings in the principal cities and
large industrial centers have
been arranged.
Speaks in Detroit Tuesday.
The opening meeting of this east
ern swing will be at Detroit, Mich, on
the night Of Oct. IA. Great prepare
tons are being made for this Foster
meeting, at the House of Masses in
Detroit
Much indignation and resentment
has been aroused in Michigan and es-
pecially in Detroit, because of the ac-
ton of the Michigan attorney general
in ruling off the Foster-Gitlow electors
and leaving those of LaFollette and
Wheeler on.
The amount Of interest amongst
the workers Of this typical proletar
ianized state can be gagged by the
masses of workers who turned out to
hear Fosters running mate, Benjamin
Gitlow, at a meeting recently held in
Detroit. Judging by all these indica
lions the Foster meeting will be the
biggest and most enthusiastic Com.
munist rally ever held in Detroit.
Returns From Pacific Coast.
Foster has just completed a speak
ing trip to the Pacific coast and back
Addressing large audiences of work
ers in the various western and Pacific
coast states. Foster met with a par
ticularly enthusiastic reception from
militant workers in Seattle, Tacoma
Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles
Salt Lake City and Denver.
He reports that in spite of the La
Toilette movement with its glib pro
gressive and vote-catching phrase
ology, there is a tremendous under
current of discomfort and resentment
against capitalism which cannot be
sidetracked by LaFollette or his move
ment.
1t is from this thoroly working class
undercurrent that the Workers Party
is drawing its support in the present
election campaign.
In this historic period of the Ameri
can working class movement, the Work
ersParty and its candidates are crystal
LIKING what will be one of the worlds
great Communist movements. De
spite the confusion created by LaFol
lette's "progressivism" the Workers
Party and its candidates are rallyinl
the support of masses of workers
The Communist program is being car
ried into sections hitherto inaccess
ible, and the general result of the
present campaign will be the build
ing Of greater and more powerful
Workers (Communist) Party

presidential campaign itinerary will

ering the entire country from cpas
to coast. He will wind up at Chicago

ton.
Widely as Foster has been known II
the past to the masses of American
workers for his leadership in indus
trial struggles, he will be known IL
the future to even greater masses al
a result OF this political struggle.
The Workers Party has established
itself in the minds Of millions of Am

and political leadership. In spite o
