tions of the country all groups of the
American proletariat and all phases
of its struggles. Negro and white,
man and woman, youth and adult,
North, South, East and West, all
fused into one proletarian revolution
airy body for the fulfillment of the
historic mission Of the American
working class. Mining, textile, met
al, garment, marine, railroad, gen
eral transport, building, agriculture,
from all working class battle-fronts
they came to the convention to lay
the basis for and open the election
struggle of the Workers (Communist)
Party.
This basis has been laid. Now, to
the mobilization of the toiling masses
for a successful election campaign
Several vital immediate tasks must
be accomplished in the process of
mobilization.
No Slackening!
l. The placing of the Party's ma
tional ticket on the ballot of the re-
spective states. This work was be-
gun prior to the Nominating Conven-
ton and was prosecuted reasonably
well. More effort and energy must
be put into this work now. No slack
ening is permissible The Party's ma
tional ticket must be on the ballot in
as many states as was decided upon
by the National Election Campaign
Committee.
2. State and local candidates and
platforms. The Central Executive
Committee has been stressing con-
tinually the necessity of our Party
organization placing local and state
tickets, formulating partial demands
for the various localities and states
and migrating this work with the
national campaign of the Party as a
whole. We again repeat and empha-
size the need. of this being done.
Without an energetic struggle on To-
cal issues, and with local candidates,
there can be no successful national
campaign and vice versa.
Local Committees.
8. Organization of local and state
campaign committees. The prelimin-
airy work of organizing these commit
tees must be completed within the
shortest possible time. Without them
the campaign will not begin in earn
est. The respective Party units must
see to it that these committees take
the field Immediately and open up the
work of mass agitation.
A. Distribution of campaign liter
allure. The National Campaign Com
mittee is preparing a plan for the
nationwide distribution of the first
important items of our campaign lit
erature. These will include the cleo
ton platform, the acceptance speeches
of Comrades Foster and Gitlow, also
a brief resume of the platform. Every
Party unit must Immediately organ
ize and prepare its distribution ma
chinery for this nationwide canvass
Of the working class with our ltera-
ture.
5. Mass meetings and talks. Every
Party unit must Immediately begin to
lay plans and prepare for a series of
meetings, outdoor and indoor, by
neighborhoods and at factory gates,
by sections and cities. National
speakers will be supplied by the Ma
tional Campaign Committee, which is
at present also laying plans for ma
tlonal tours for Comrades Foster and
Gitlow and many other speakers.
Campaign Fund.
6. The campaign fund. Within
few days, the National Campaign
Committee will communicate to the
Party units a detailed plan for the
raising of the 100000 campaign
fund. This will be vital part of our
general election campaign.
Comrades! In the present strug-
gle, we aim at establishing our Party
in the minds of the working masses
as the political Party of the Ameri-
can workers. This is a great and diff
ficult task, but one that can be ac-
complished if our Party and its SYM
pathizers will give their best to the
campaign.
The masses are stirring. The high
pressure of capitalist naturalization
is calling forth resentment and readi-
ness to struggle among wide masses
of workers. Our Party is the only
Party that can and will supply the
necessary political understanding and
leadership for the struggle.
The responsibilities are great. But
so also are the opportunities for the
building and strengthening of our
Party and the awakening and organ
ization of the mass of American
workers. Let us make the maximum
possible use of the opportunities.
