Cringing Third Partyites
Surrender to Old Party
Leadership in New York
BY ]. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

TODAY the third party bubble In New York City fades
completely with the announcement by Congressman F. H.
laOuarda former president of the board of aldermen that
he would head movement against the old parties
William Randolph Hearst the ubiquitous publisher
self Of the small bourgeoise The mil
onare newspaper owner is merely seeking In this way to
advance his political ambitions which include the
aspiration to occupy the White House at Washington
Yet the failure of the third party movement New York
City, supported by the widely read Hearst again eS
poses the cngng middle class afraid organize fight its
democratic primaries meeky accepts the Tammany Hall
choice Senator James j. Walker and promises the elecor-
utilities running the city, favoritsm in it's basest sense and
real everybody -gettng-his' administration
Hyan and LaCuarda are pretty much in the same posi-,
ton that the late William Jennings Bryan found himself
when John Wastreet Davis picked as the democratic
candidate for president last Bryan had wall
Street and the House of Morgan He had bitterly assaed
Governor AL Smith, Tammany Halls choice Tor the pres-
Dental candidacy the tool Of the money interests Yet
Bryan obedenty swallowed all his brave speeches and ned
up the Tammany Hall outfit in support OF Morgans personal
lawyer So the loud speakers Of the third party movement
Hyan and LaGuarda accept the old party decisions IN
the primaries without whmPer
While Bryan merely frted with the LaFoIette
ment LaCuarda in open alliance with it, allowing
his name go before the voters Hiquts socialist
ticket when his republican party dsowned him in New York.
He recently stumped Wisconsin for LaFoette, Jr.
is therefore, interesting study LaGuardia's decIara
ton that IAN independent and progressive movement must
originate and from the It must not be
affair and real progressive wants to be the candidate
That is the usual buncombe Of the political adventures
who always hand to exploit the discomfort OF the
masses whenever and wherever arises. Even with the
support of 100000 voters LaFcette would not drive for
third party going to his grave office holder OF Wall
Streets G. o. P Hyan candidate in the democratic
primaries in New Yors municipal campaign just as LaFo-
ette J the republican primaries OF the special SEN
atoriaI campaign in Wisconsin. tg .
LaFoette, Jr had the support OF masses but ike his
father before him. the most energetic efforts OF the old
marty bosses are unsuccessful in oustng him from the pot
icaI ranks of the biggest capitalists
Lacuardias statement when read correctly merely
means that political opportunists always on hand
to exploit for their advantage the discomfort arising
out Of new sufferngs imposed the many In this way
thew act as the agents big business in betrang these
movements of discomfort.
aFoette was capitaisms best agent in making war on
the farmer-abor toward independent poItlca
action Some LaFoIIette, LaGuarda, Hylan, or
Hearst himself will to the front to betray again the
next great revolt against Wall Street But they will have
harder time of it.
In the New York campaign, as everywhere else, the
fight for labor party grows vrly The proposal tor
united front working class against the capitalist
parties was proposed by the Workers communist Party
The SOCIALISTS" usual turned their backs against IT, Bur
it receives increasing support from rank and file workers
who will pioneer way toward the creation OF the mass
movement that will wage intelligent fight against cap
itaism thru refusing be led astray by fake third parry
in crisis.
