How to Strengthen Our Communist Press

ing organs of the locals in conjunic-
ton with the leading organs of fac
tory and street nuclei. In the indus
trial enterprises, the agitprop organ
izer is responsible for the organiza-
ton of the circulation both in and out
side the various factories.
Mass circulation of the Communist
press is only possible if all nucleus
members are induced to do regular
agitational work. Nuclei should pre-
sent every month to the leading or
gans of the party statistical reports
on the number of subscribers and
newspaper sales. Moreover, the man
aging board of the newspaper, pre-
sents every month reports to the lead
ing organs Of the party on the num-
Der Of subscribers in the various or
CARNATIONS.
If the apparatus for newspaper cir
culation is organized in this manner,
it will be easy to distribute additional
copies with the help of the party ap-
paratus in the event of the confsca-
ton or prohibition of some editions,
because of the existing connection
with the enterprises which makes a
rapid supply of newspapers to large
number of workers possible.
Party nuclei should make sure that
subscribers to the party press who
are not yet party members, be drawn
into collaboration for the press as
workers correspondents. They should
also be drawn into the work connected
with newspaper circulation and re-
cruiting Of new subscribers.
In nearly all the countries of West
Europe and in America, our opponents
are Strengthening and systematizing
their agitation in industrial enter
prises. This is done by publishing
factory newspapers and by selling
bourgeois dailies in and outside the
enterprises. To counterfeit this, we
should take the following measures:
(a) In addition to the systematic
recruiting of subscribers, newspaper
sales should be organized both inside
and outside the enterprises. As circu-
lation greatly depends on the space
which is allotted in the press to fac
tory reports, more space should be
given in future. to all factory ques-

shortcoming of its contents, but also
to the unsatisfactory organization of
newspaper circulation. In some coun-
tries, there is no regular subscription
system and the circulation depends en-
tirely on street and other scales.
With such a method. it is impossible
to control the supply of newspapers
and to establish a regular nucleus of
subscribers. In other countries, the
newspaper supply takes place thru an
apparatus over which we have no in
fiuence and which is restricted as to
the mechanical supply of newspapers
(street sales in Austria and supply by
post in other countries). In some
other countries again, the business
arrangements of the Communist press
have created an apparatus Of their
own for newspaper circulation, thru
which the subscribers are supplied at
their places of residence. In most
cases, this apparatus is either loosely
or not all connected with the party
apparatus Czecho-Slovakia, Ger
many. 1t is only in a very few or
CARNATIONS that the leading party or
gans superintend and control the con-
struction and development of the ap-
paratus for newspaper circulation.
Under such conditions, it is only nat
ural that the newspaper circulation
apparatus is hardly used at all for the
circulation of periodicals and litera-
ture.
The Communist Press Must Be a
Mass Organizer.
This is only possible with a regu-
lar subscription system, and if the
apparatus for newspaper circulation is
branch of the party apparatus. The
apparatus for newspaper circulation
must be organized on the same basis
as the party apparatus, that is to say,
the circulation should not take place
only in the residential districts, but
also in and outside the Industrial en-
terprises.
The construction Of the circulation
apparatus is effected under the super
intendence of the agitprop depart
ment of the party in conjunction with
the management board of the news
paper. Newspaper sellers and dis
tributors are appointed by the lead

lions. When labor disputes take place
in important Industrial enterprises,
the front page of the paper should be
allotted to these questions. 1t is
such an important matter for us to
exercise and extend our influence over
the thousands of workers employed
in large industrial enterprises that 1t
is worth while to break up a page
and reset it for the sake of the work
ers Of the respective enterprise. The
editorial boards of the daily press
should work in close contact with the
editors of nucleus newspapers and
should accept from the latter good
drawings, articles, poems, etc.
(b) Better use should be made of
nucleus newspapers for recruiting
subscribers. Notices and short ex-
tracts from the daily press should be
published in nuclei newspapers urging
workers to become subscribers. Reg
ular subscribers to nucleus newspa-
pers should be registered and induced
to subscribe to the daily press.
(c) Numbers of the daily newspa-
pers in which questions concerning
certain enterprises are fully dealt
with, should be plentifully supplied
to newspaper sellers responsible for
the sale in the said enterprises. 1t
is also advisable to publish special
editions of the daily press. These
papers need not be more than half the
size of the daily paper. Such special
editions should contain important POI
litical notices from the daily press and
reports from the enterprises in which
the special number is to be circulated.
AS it is much cheaper to publish these
special numbers than ordinary dali
les, because of their smaller size and
the possibility of using numerous type
extracts from the daily, their mass
circulation is possible. BY this means
our press is popularized among the
workers.
In some towns, recruiting of new
subscribers was encouraged by the
managing board of the newspaper
presenting books for the nucleus H.
brary to those factory nuclei which
had shown special activity in getting
subscribers.

THE organization department of the
4 Central Executive Committee has
received a letter from the organiza-
ton department of the Executive
Committee of the Communist Inter
national, giving favorable suggestions
for building up the party press. The
suggestions deal with our daily press,
as we'll as shop nuclei papers. These
recommendations are based on the
collective experiences of the various
sections of the Communist Interna-
tional
In view q the campaign to build
The DAILY WORKER into a mass
Communist paper, and in view of the
vigorous reorganization efforts now
being made thruout the party to or
ganize the party on the basis of shop
nuclei, these recommendations are
especially timely and instructive.
We herewith begin the publication
of this letter of suggestions, in two
instruments.
The first instalment follows:
To the organization department of
the Executive Committee of the
Workers Party Of America.
Dear Comrades,
With respect to the circular letter
of the agitprop department of the
Executive Committee Of the Com
munist International concerning the
international press campaign for the
development of the Communist press,
we wish to point out that the follow
ing tasks should receive your special
attention:
(a) Organization of the sale Of the
press, construction and development
of the apparatus for this circulation;
(b) Organization of the regular
publication of factory nucleus news
papers for all big and medium indus
trial enterprises.
To carry out these tasks. close col
laboration between the agitprop and
organization departments Of the CEN
ter and the district leading organs Of
the party is essential.
(a) Organization of Newspaper
Circulation.
The small circulation of the Com
munist press is not only due to the

ideals as one of the most worthwhile
objects in life.

itentiary. The nearly-forgotten Wob-
blies will be heard and the lid will

can gain their point by negative
decision regarding their power of in
PREVENTION.
By it's action in these matters the
supreme court has in effect declared
that the guarantees Of freedom con-
tanned in the federal constitution
the bill of rights-are restrictions
only on the power of congress itself,
thus leaving the individual states to
restrict such liberty in any measure
they see fit. Thus it disposes once
more of the fetish that there is any
liberty in a capitalist state except
that which the exploiters are willing
to allow the workers as a vent for
their discomfort.
Miss Whitney deserves the high re-
gard of all Communists and working
class rebels for her attitude during
her appeal. She has never finched a
particle from her interest in the cause
Of labor nor her activities in behalf Of
the prosecuted. Particularly has this
been true Of her fight for justice to
the Wobblies in California; battle
she has never fiinched from in the
most hectic days Of their history in

La Toilette Sweeps
Field In Primarys

Sounds just like old times
sweeping La Toilette victory, and it
was even more so than any of the
best races that the late Fighting
Bob" ever staged. 1t was a truly
great testimonial to the departed
leader.
Last Tuesdays primaries gave the
Junior La Toilette nearly-a two-to-
one lead over his nearest rival, Roy
Wilcox, and the outcome is generally
conceded as practically as good as
a clear title to his fathers chair in
the United States Senate.
The vote throughout the state was
very light, about a one-third poll of
the presidential totals on the aver
age, according to incomplete returns.
Wilcox, MleGovern and Woodward
divided anti-La Toilette votes, it is
true, but their combined strength did
not equal that of the winner. The
La Toilette line held, while the So
called regulars" split allegiance to
different factions.
Perhaps the strongest organized
vote was shown for Woodward, Ku
Kux Khan endorsee, as his total was
probably rather close indication of
the Klan's voting power in the state.
The Socialist allegiance to their can
didate was a joke, and could not be
counted a factor in the election, it
was so insignificant.
4 Pierce county's vote was consistent
with that of the state generally, the
towns giving La Toilette big plural
8ity, while Wilcox and McGovern Jared
better in q division of the urban bal
lots.
The town of River Falls, typical OF
most rural polls, gave La Toilette Sc,
Wilcox 10, McGovern 5, and the Khan
favorite, Woodward, 7.
The Town of Kinnickinnic gave
La Toilette so, Woodward Z, Nc
Govern /, Wilcox 5.
The Pierce county Wards of the
city voted the Republican ticket as
follows: Wilcox 105, McGovern 100
La Toilette IS and Woodward So
There were 13votes cast here for the
!. Democratic nominee, Bruce.

JacoI,son-Sebion

Last Wednesday evening, Septem-
Der 8, at eight O'clock, Miss Elvira
Sebion, only daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. /. Sebion, and Mr.. Haldor JAG
GIBSON, both of the town of Martell,
were married at the South Rush Ri
yer church. Their pastor, Rev. L.
K. Aaberg, performed the ceremony.
AS the bridal party decended from
the balcony the wedding march was
being played by Mrs. Aaberg. Miss
Nettie Nelson and George Sebion
headed the procession then came Miss
Hannah Bjerkeng and Robert Sebion
the two couples forming line for
the bride and groom to pass through.
The bride looked very charming in
a dress of white Georgette and her
veil was held in place with bandeau
Of pearls. She carried a shower boz
quet of bridal roses. The bridesmaids
were beautifully dressed, Miss Mel
son in pink crepe de chine and Miss
Bjerkeng in pale yellow crepe de
chine, beth carried corsage bouquets
of roses and sweet peas. A wedding
supper was given at the home of the
brides parents, after the ceremony,
to relatives and friends. The bride
is very charming young lady and
an accomplished musician. The
groom is an Industrious young man.
After trip to the cities for a few
days to the State Fair the young
couple will go to housekeeping on the
Albert Marker farm south of Law
ton which they have rented. We all
wish for them a long and happy
married life.
