STUDENTS HEAR
BEDACHT, EARLY
AT WISCO NSIN
Betrayal by Socialists
Is Scored
lBn a Worker Correspondsnt

by Worker Correspondent
MADISON, Wis, (By MaiD ID
E. Early, former organizer of the
Pittsburgh coal miners and Chicago
food workers, spoke here Friday
night on the Workers (Communist)
Party in the election campaign, in
place of Max Bedacht, candidate for
United States senator in Illinois
under the auspices of the Foster-for-
President Club of the University of
Wisconsin.
The meeting was attended not
only by students of the university
but by a number of workers from
town.
In his speech Farley proved that
the democratic and republican par
ties are parties of big business. He
showed that it does not matter to
the working class whether or not
Hoover or Smith is elected. He
cleared the confusion among the stu
dents regarding the difference be-
tween the socialist party and the
Workers (Communist) Party. He
showed that the socialists are be-
traying the workers by saying in eff
feet that they can win better condi-
tons from the capitalist class by
sending the socialist candidates to
office, ignoring entirely the strike
and the revolutionary action of the
working class. Because they lose
sight of the final goal, of the strug-
gle between the capitalist class until
the latter and its form of ruling is
crushed and a new, workers gov
eminent is set up. The socialists
set up false goals for the workers
and, in reality, betray their inter-
ests in favor of the bosses. In this
country, Farley said, the socialists
are not so strong or important as
in other countries, for here they
have no mass following while in
other countries they have a mass
following. They no longer pretend,
even, to be a party of the class
struggle, having given up that
clause officially at their last con-
vention.
He proved to the students that
education, as religion, the cinema
the theatre, libraries, ETC., are in
struments in the hands of the capt.
talist class for the further exploita.
ton of the workers. He showed
that the profession man is used fol-
the interests of furthering the op.
pressive rule of the capitalist elias.
in relatively the same way that the
worker is exploited and used in the
factory. The difference lies chiefly
in that one is paid more and car
wear a white collar at work ant
that he is supposed to know little
more than to blindly accept the
existing order.
In speaking of the Party he gave
a resume of its platform and showed
that because it is the platform o.
the class struggle and because i
engages in these struggles hand il
hand with the workers and becaus,
it understands their needs, that tn,
Workers (Communist) Party is tn,
only party which truly represent
the working class of this country.
Before the meeting ended Earle,
answered a number of question
which workers, students and even ,
college professor present asked him
A number of copies of the Part!
platform and of the acceptanc,
speeches of the Party presidential
candidates were sold.

mendcus last minute boost from
Pennsylvania fer Herbert G.
Hoover, moved on without mo-
ment's abatement.
Hoover's managers and friends,
also some enemies, predicted a
quick nomination on the first roll
call on Thursday.
Only the final completion of a
few platform planks and the de-
eisicn as te who will be the
nominee for Viee-President, de-
cision to be made largely by
Hoover, remained in dispute
when Chairman William M. But
Ter, of the Republican National
Committee, raped for order at
three minutes after IL o'clock

Leaders believe they will be
on their way home by Thursday
night.

The break came this morning,

Butler carried word to Secretary
Mellon that President Coolidge
was acceptable to him as the
nominee.
In short time came Melons
statement which SAID In part:
AT the time of our conference
In Philadelphia on May IL, 1t
was still uncertain whether Pres
ident Coolidge might be induced
to accept the nom nation. Now
it has become clear that he will
not do so.
1T. therefore, seems wise to
look for that nominee who can
best carry forward the policies
hat have brought the present
Administration to the whole
hearted approval of the American
people. AS said at Philadel-
phia, Hoover. among all the can
didates, seems to measure up to
the high standards we have set.
My suggestion to my colleagues
in the delegation is that we vote
fer him on the first ballot"
This suggestion was accepted
without delay.
