THE WORKERS AND FARMERs,'
GOVERNMENT AND THE OVER
THROW OF CAPITALISM.
The above demands raised by the
Workers (communIst) Party are only
the expression Of the most elementary
needs Of the workers. They are not
put forward as a complete expression
Of the aims Of the working class which
can be freed from the oppression Of
the bankers and trusts only by the
overthrow of capitalism and the estab-
lishment Of Workers and Farmers
Government.

They All Do II.
Governor Smith admits that he is
protecting the rights of the people,;
he stands for the service of the peo-
pie" So do all the old party politi-
clans. In a country where universal
suffrage prevails, it is necessary for
all candidates to win the support of
the masses by appearing to advocate
their demands. Even the BLACKLIST
reactionaries, fresh from the con-
claves of capitalist paymasters, mount
the campaign platform to fawn upon
the people" 1t works. The working
class believes them; the votes roll
in.
AL Smith, however, in addition to
prediction promises, has stood for
certain measures heralded as tending
to improve the conditions of the work
ing class. If worker hears that
Smith wants to tear down whole
blocks of mouldy tenements and put
up fresh, sanitary homes at low rents,
he may very well think, This man is
for me; he is the one for me to fol-
low" Hence the policy of Smithism
demands a close scrutiny. Can
Smithism fulfill the needs of the
workers?
Poor on Delivery.
Very few of Smiths reform meas
ures have been actually enacted. We
have some workmen's compensation
acts (most of them with strings tied
to them); we have compulsory edu-
cation laws. But where are the forty
eight hours a week for women, the
minimum wage law? These have not
been enacted by the legislature.
And is Smith sincere friend OF the
workers? In April, 1925, and again
in May, 1926, he vetoed the Ricca
Bill raising teachers salaries, which
had received such wholesale support
from the voters of the state that in
1925 the legislature passed II unan.
imously. During Governor Smiths
encumbency we have seen state
police force given the right to inter
fere in case of riots.
How Does this Happen7
What does this mean? That these
state troopers can be brought out in
strike to crush the workers. We
have here the beginning of such an
organization as the murderous Penn.
sylvania state constabulary. In the
big cities, workers are dubbed on the
picket line-by whom?-by the gang
sters hired by the bosses? Yes, but
also by the policemen who are the
servants Of that state OF which Al

gentsia by rushing to the American

This is the. same club that was
magnanimously rated above the
Red Sox, largely because Of the
hitting Of Speaker and Jameson,
among others. According to the

the winter book favorites will get

received the most attention when
the books were first opened in Feb

Infection in an injured hook has
thrown Carlaris out Of training,
however, and no wagers are being
made on him. The Is most prob
