periences of the first British general

General Secretary

Workers (communist) Party.
THE party has not, in the past, taken
4 advantage to sufficient degree OF
the opportunity offered by election
campaigns to mobilize the workers
against the capitalist class and the
capitalist government. While we have
participated in election campaigns 1t
has not been with enthusiasm and
with a clear understanding that this
period of heightened political con
seriousness creates the most favorable
conditions to reach the working
masses and to broaden the influence of
the party.
This deficiency in the work Of the
party was the result Of the anti-par-
liamentary traditions among its mem
bers, traditions which have their basis
in the bitter experiences with reform
list election campaigns, which made
of these campaigns a chase after Of
fee, rather than means Of mobllizing
the workers for the struggle against
capitalism.
The party is outgrowing these tradi-
tions. 1t is learning that active par
ticipation in the election campaigns
can be made the means of winning the
masses for the party program OF rev.
dictionary struggle against the capital
list class and its government.
The Party and This Years Elections.
INSTRUCTIONS for the state and
4 congressional elections this year
were sent to all party units during
the month of May. The party policy
was outlined in these instructions-to
support the farmer-labor parties or la
Dor parties where such were organized
and functioning, to aid in the initiation
of united front conference and the
nomination of united labor ticket
where no such parties existed, and, If
this could not be achieved, to place
Workers (Communist) Party candi
dates on the ballot and wage a cam
paign for these candidates.
In some states and localities 1t is
not yet definite whethera united labor
ticket will be on the ballot, or whether
the party will nominate. its own candi-
dates, but the lines have developed
sufficiently to give general picture
of the forms under which the party
will participate in the elections:
In Massachusetts there is a fairly
strong movement for united labor
ticket, which the party will support il
it crystallizes in the nomination OF

The Party and the Election Campaign

candidates. Otherwise the party will
nominate its own candidates. In
Rhode Island and Connecticut the
same situation exists.
In New York the party has nomi-
mated it's own ticket and will carry on
its campaign for that ticket, probably
with a considerable trade union sup
port.
In Pennsylvania there is a labor
party in the field, which has, however.
nominated Beidlem and Pinchot, both
republicans, for the Offices of governor
and United States senator. This per-
version of the labor party has COM
PEELED the party to nominate its own
state ticket. There are spots turnout
Pennsylvania where the labor party
has nominated and will support work
ers and the party will give these
county and congressional tickets of
the labor party its support.
In Ohio there will be no state ticket
which the workers can support. There
will be a united labor ticket in Lima
and Allen county, which the party will
support. In Cleveland and probably
a number of other localities there will
be party candidates on the ballot for
local and congressional offices.
In Michigan the party will have a
state ticket on the ballot under it's
own name. In three counties Of the
northern peninsula of Michigan farmer
labor parties have been organized
which will probably nominate county
and congressional candidates.
In Indiana there will be no state
ticket, but candidates may be nomi-
mated in the northwestern counties,
which include Gary, Indiana Harbor,
etc.
In Illinois a state ticket of the party
has been nominated and the party will
have candidates in number of con-
gressional districts.
In Wisconsin efforts are being made
to place state ticket on the ballot
In Minnesota the party will support
the farmer-labor party candidates.
This will also be the case in North
Dakota, South Dakota, Montana and
Washington. In all of these states
there are farmer-labor parties which
are carrying on an active campaign.
In California the effort to call a
united front conference to name a
united labor ticket is stull under way.
If this conference does not materialize
the party will name it's own candi-
dates.
Efforts are being made to place con-
gressional candidates of the party on

the ballot in st. Louis, Kansas City
and Denver.
The Party Election Campaign.
IRON the above it will be seen that
I the party will have its own candi-
dates on the labor ballot or will support
a united labor ticket in the big indus
trial states and will support the
farmer-labor ticket in the important
agricultural states of the northwest.
The party will issue it's congress
sional program outlining the issues of
the campaign from the viewpoint of
the class interests of the workers and
of the farmers, which will be printed
in leafiet form, and which should
reach several million workers during
the election campaign. This will be
followed by other leaflets dealing with
special phases of the campaign.
In addition national speakers will
be toured by the party to. reach each
of the fifteen largest cities of the
country four times during the cam,
paign, giving these cities big mass
meeting every two weeks Four other
speakers will be routed to cover a
hundred other cities, giving these cit
les two mass meetings during the cam
paign. Local speakers will be toured
by the district offices and street meet
ings held nightly in all the larger cit
les.
The above program must have the
energetic support of every unit of the
party. Thru this campaign the party,
can reach hundreds of thousands of
workers with the message of class
struggle and a fight against the CAPT
talist exploitation and oppression on
the basis Of the class struggle.
The United Labor Ticket Assessment.
THE united labor ticket assessment
i was made to provide fund for
use of the national organization in
carrying on this work. The carrying
on of a widespread campaign by the
party depends upon the support given
by the membership thru the payment
of this assessment.
1t is because of this that the collec-
ton of the assessment has been so
strongly emphasized in the appeals to
the membership and the nuclei.
The party can make good the neg
lect in regard to the collection of this
assessment, evidenced by the fact that
only third of the membership have
paid it thus far, by devoting the re-.
naming weeks of the month of August
to securing a 100 per cent collection
of the assessment and prompt remit
lance to the national office.

SMOOT SENDS
SON TO STUDY
SOVIET union
Secrecy Surrounds Visit
of Youth to Russia
Especial to The Daily Worker,

WASHINGTON Aug. 13.-(FP)--
Arrival in Moscow of Sen. Shoots son,
who is confidential secretary to the
Utah standpat leader, has raised in
Washington an. immediate furry of in
quiry as Ito whether this means that
the Coolidge administration is going
tosnegotiate a settlement of the Keren-
sky debt. r..
Young Smoot frequently went with
his father to the treasury to attend
the meetings OF the debt funding COM
mission. He is familiar with all the
negotiations between this government
and the French, Italians and others
who have signed agreements to pay.
Now he appears in the capital of the
Soviet Union, and is reported as be-
ing there to study the economic, fnan-
cial and social conditions.
Kerensky Debt.
The more natural explanation OF
young Shoots mission is that he has
been sent to learn precisely what the
government of the Soviet Union is
ready to do concerning the Kerensly
debt and the American property seized
during the revolution. Senator
smoot, trying to bridge the chasm in
policy toward Russia which has OPP
ened between Senator Borah and the
State Department, would like to be
able to tell Coolidge that the Third In
ternational is. going to quit worrying
Secretary kellogg, and that Herbert
Hoover and his British partners are
to be paidrat least in part for the gold
mining properties they held before the
revolution. Then he would like to be
able to tell Coolidge and Mellon that
the Kerensky debt can be setted on
the basis of the Soviets' capacity to
pay.
Neither the state nor the commerce
department admits any knowledge Of
the purpose of the young mans visit
in Moscow. He is said to have no
official credentials of any sort-just
his passport and form-Ietter signed
by the secretary of state, asking
American consuls and diplomatic of1ic-
ters abroad to be courteous to him.
This formletter is granted to any
American citizen at the request of
senator. Shoots son is therefore in
Moscow in strictly private capacity
except that he is agent for his
father who is a member of the debt
commission and is one of the most
powerful standpatters in the admins
tration.
May Lead to Reorganization.
From his journey may come a con-
fidential report that will change the
attitude of the administration toward
a Russian settlement, and bring about
recognition by the United States OF
the Union of Socialist Soviet Repub-
lies. On the other hand, nothing may
come of it, as nothing has come of
the earlier visits of senators and con-
gressmen, bankers and editors and
professors and manufacturers. Her
bert Hoover still stands across the
recognition path.

The back pay question on the re.

increase to porters and maids which
the Pullman Co completely disregard-

pay for the period since the award
would bring a considerable sum to
the pockets Of the Pullman porters
