BY HARRY M. WINITsKY,
Campaign Manager.

The campaign committee Of the
Workers (Communist) Party Of Dis
trict has outlined very big cam
paign for this district, which win re-
quire a great deal of money. The
plans call for at least two special
campaign numbers of The DAILY
WORKER and of the Freiheit. We
also plan to distribute at least 200 GOO
pieces of free literature during the
campaign. Plans are being made to
plaster the entire city of New York
with posters of the party and Commu-
mist slogans. In order to do all this
it Is absolutely imperative that we
have a great deal of funds. The dis
trict is launching campaign for a
fund of $4,000 for the election cam
paign in this district, and the district
executive committee calls upon all
comrades and units of the party to
throw themselves into the campaign
and begin the raising of funds.
Issues Collection Lists.
All units have been notified to call
for special subscription lists, which
can be procured from Comrade Harry
NJ. Winitsky, the campaign manager,
and must see to it that all the party
members receive these and imme-
diately start collecting funds on them.
In addition TO these lists. the cam
paign COMMITTEES has also gotten out
books of stamps which the party mem
bership must sell TO the workers in
sheir ahops and 20 ell their fidends
All units in the city must Immediately
come to the district office to get these
lists and books Of stamps.
Need Finances.
The financial committee has already
outlined plans for a financial cam
paign in the various unions and
committee will be placed in charge in
each union and this committee will
be responsible for the raising of funds
in their organization for the coming
electoral campaign. A special trade
union subscription list has been is
sued. Speakers will be assigned to
visit all the unions and joint boards in
the city to appeal to these organiza-
lions for funds.
In the Bronx all the candidates are

Dear Cynthia. I'm one Of these

anything, just so it was man.
"Onc night when my escort began

She said ] was making n fool Of

And so the letters 60. The boys
ask: aren't there any girls left who
want something besides pctting ?"
And the girls nsk: "Arcn't there any
boys left who want something besides
petting?"
Why can't they get together on
this question---or do they really want
Ito?
