WORKERS REUSED
BY CONT UNIST.
ELECTION DRIVE
Red Candidates Start
September l

The most extensive and intensive
Communist propaganda and organi.
rational campaign ever undertaken
by the Workers (Communist) Party
will start September LIST, when Will
liam 2. Foster, candidate for presi-
dent of the United States, and Ben
jamin Gitlow candidate for vice
president, will begin nationwide
tour that will take them from Mas
sachusetts in the East to Oregon
and California in the West, to Texas
and Georgia in the South and from
there back to New York, where they
will finish the two-month trip on the
eve of polling day.
The itinerary of the heads of the
Communist ticket was made public
yesterday by the National Election
Campaign Committee of the Work
ers (Communist) Party from cleo
ton headquarters at 43 East 125th
Street.
Reports reaching campaign head
quarters from all parts of the coun-
try indicate that the workers are ex-
tremely interested in the Communist
campaign, the better informed of
them growing daily more hostile to
the democratic and republican par
ties and disappointed in the liberal
hogwash of the socialist party
preacher candidate, the Reverend
Norman Thomas, who is appealing
to the liberals and small business
men and ignoring the class strug-
gle of the workers and poor farmers.
For the first time since the organ
ization of the Workers (Communist)
Party, in 1921, Communist organ
izers are building the Party in every
state in the union, taking advantage
of the interest aroused among the
masses by the election campaign to
make new contacts and to explain
the program and platform of the
Party to the industrial and agricul-
tural workers, to the poor farmers
and the prosecuted Negroes.
With the Party, already on the
ballot in several states and thou
sands of Communists collecting the
necessary number of signatures to
place it on the ballot In at least
thirty of the forty-eight states in
the union, the Foster Gitlow tour
IS sure to reach hundreds of thou
sands of workers who never heard
the Communist message before.
As campaigners Foster and Git
low have few equals. Both have
years of agitational and organiza
'tional work behind them, and are &C
customed to the hardships of pro-
tracted speaking tours.
