WORKERS AIDING
CAMP AICN DRIVE
Contributions from All
Parts of Country

The masses are rally ing to raise
the 100000 Communist Campaign
Fund, with contributions of five
dollar bills and one-dollar bills, as
the capitalist parties are raising the
ante on campaign contributions.
A few weeks ago the figure set for
the expenditures of the Democratic
and republican parties in this cleo
ton was 100000 each.
The hangers-on of both parties
got scared over the prospect of q
hard winter, and Al Smiths gasoline
manager Raskob came out with the
assurance that there would be no
limit to contributions.
Then Herbert Hoover's finance
director raised it to $4,000,O0O, and
frantic bidding became the order of
the day.
Our latest report from Washing
ton is that the figure has now
reached the enormous sum of S10,-
100000, the largest sum ever Off
cially expended in an election cam
paign, even in the days of Mark
Hanna.
Masses Helping Communists.
But the workers and farmers are
going ahead making their contribu-
tions to the 100000 Communist
Campaign Fund, realizing that the
the billions are on the side of the
capitalists, the interests of the
masses and history are on the side
of the Workers (Communist) Party
Men and women and not money
make revolutions after ALL tho
money is extremely useful to pre-
pare the masses ideologically for
the great social change, thru agita-
ton, education, and organization.
Mobilize Masses.
And those proletarian men and
women who realize that the main
purpose of the Communists in the
present campaign is to mobilize the
masses for the struggle against
capitalism are sending in their con-
tributions with appropriate COM
ment.
Here is letter from poor farm
er from Elko, Nevada:
Comrades:
"Please find in this letter my pro-
letarian donation Of five dollars for
our Communist Election Campaign
"Fraternally, George Rupert"
George Rupert takes no stock ir
the new-found interest of Herbert
Hoover in the needs of the farmers
What Hoover wants is the farmers
votes. Rupert knows that the Com
munists do not come to the poor
farmers in the role of saviors, but
with program around which they
can organize in common with the
exploited workers in the factories.
Steve Morasky writes from Cald-
well, Ohio:
"Please send me two books of
"Vote Communist" stamps and also
five Foster Gitlow campaign but
tons. am also sending $3.50 as my
contribution to the Communist Cam
paign Fund"
Caldwell is in the striking mine
area of Ohio where the miners have
been battling against the operators
and their own corrupt labor leaders
for over twelve months. Mrasky
knows what the Workers (Commu-
nist) Party has done to help out
during this strike.
From Tomolen, Mississippi, R. E.
Peele writes:
"Find enclosed check for five dol
lars for my part in campaign fund

And writes Harry Rutland, Of
Caspar, California: az enclose one
dollar for stamps to boost the Com.
munist Party. was in former days
a socialist, but dropped out when il
deserted the class struggle. | would
like to Sc my letter come with one
of those stamps on it."
Yes, Comrade Rutland, you will
see "Vote Communist" stamp or
your letter all right. No letter car
leave the National Office without
one of those stamps pasted on the
envelope.
Funds Urgently Needed.
Five dollars from every member
and sympathizer Of the Workers
(Communist) Party would bring II
the 100000 we are driving for in q
short time. Money is urgently
needed. Dig down and send us what
ever you can. Remember that the
National Election Campaign Com
fmittee needs funds badly to prin
literature, route speakers, and col
