The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-07-14
Told You So

The Workers (Communist) Party
will regard the Communist vote cast
in the next elections as barometer
of the revolutionary temperature of
the masses, but campaigning for
votes for the sake of votes is not on
its agenda. A glance at The
DAILY WORKER or any other
Communist organ proves this. The
Party concerns itself with the min
ers' strike, with the textile work
ers' strike, with the fight to release
class war prisoners, with the or
ganization of the unorganized, and
with the many other burning issues
that face the American workers to-
day.
The Communist Party partici-
pates in the elections in order to
mobilize the masses for struggle, to
expose capitalist democracy, and to
teach them that only thru a revo-
lutionary struggle can capitalism be
abolished. Nevertheless, when it
dominates it's candidates for the
various legislative bodies, it intends
to strive to the utmost to have them
elected, in order that these legis-
lative bodies may be used as for
UNI from which to advocate the
overthrow of the capitalist system.
The socialist "New Leader"
boasts that Herr Hermann Mueller.
the German socialist leader, has
succeeded in organizing cabinet.
tho this cabinet includes only four
socialists out of a total of eleven.
What victory! Is it not surprisa
ing that the old monarchist wors
shipper, Won Hindenburg, should
approve this selection?
The British labor party, headed
by the socialist Macdonald, has
issued its platform, which declares
it's approval of American imperial
ism by endorsing the fake Kellogg
peace treaty. It should not be for
gotten that it was during the pre-
miership of Macdonald that the
Dawes Plan was fastened on Ger
many with the valuable assistance
of Macdonald. International So
cialism is all things to all imper-
ialisms.
Every dollar contributed to the
Communist Election Camp aign
Fund will help to bring the workers
step nearer to a Workers and
Farmers Government, which means
the rule of the workers and farm
ers with the capitalists having the
choice of going to work or quietly
starving. There can be no solution
of the class struggle short of this,
Leaders may sell out to the enemy,
but TIE great mass of the workers
and farmers cannot be bribed by the
capitalist class. There are too many
of them.
In this campaign the Workers
(Communist) Party will mobilize
the workers in the industries and
the exploited farmers in agriculture
for fight against the capitalist
system. The 100000 Communist
Party Election Campaign Fund will
be used for this purpose. The trea-
sure chests of the other parties will
be used to put officials in office
who will serve the master class and
who will profit by the system they
live on and defend. The raising of
this Communist campaign fund is
first charge on the duty of the
Party membership.
Andrew Mellon, secretary of the
treasury, is able to show a treasury
surplus of 1898, 100000. This is Of
fered as evidence by the supporters
of the republican administration
that prosperity is still with US. I'm
fortunately for this contention how
ever approximately 100000 unem-
ployed and the low wages received
by those employed does not bear out
the boasts of the G. o. P. boosters.
