FIGHTING MASSES

100000 DRIVE
Many Buy Communist
Election Stamps

American presidents are elected by
money and that the Impoverished
American voter who thinks he is a
determining factor in the election of
Wall Streets executives in Wash
ington is not only stupid but a
darned fool
There are two kinds of campaign
f,7nds according to Kent. There is
the bally-hoo fund that is used for
publicity and corruption during the
campaign and there is the election
day fund which is used to purchase
the necessary number Of votes in
each precinct on election dav to
swing the victory to the political
gang with the most portly money
bar.
As if determined to bear out
Rents contention. Smith and Hoover
are openly declaring that more
money will be needed in this cam
7pairn than in any previous one.

sl4a7l be no limit to contributions.
sz Flowers treasurer demands four
million dollars
s-reThat's money for you.
ea IF the workers and farmers did
rat expect to gain control Of the
United States and establish their

--.-ahle to beat the capitalists game Of
& vote buying and win the elections
their future would be dark indeed
But the workers and exploited farm

understand the Communist position
DR. not expect that the capitalist
system will be overthrown at the
ballot box. 1t will be overthrow
bv the mass struggles Of the exploit
cd masses under the leadership Of
the Communist Party.
And the Workers (Communist)
Party is raising a 100000 campaign
fund to mobilize the masses for a
real fight against the capitalists and
thew system.
The election campaign is proving
~ excellent opportunity to reach
tho masses with the Communist
message and the Communist pro-
g~am. They are in a receptive mood
The ballvhoo of the capitalists gets
them thinking of political matters
Tho capitalists find it more difficult
than in other times to shut off rival
parties from propagating their
views. Therefore, the Communists
have an opportunity-if only .
limited one under the iron fist Of
capitalist democracy-to get their
message to the masses.
Workers, Farmers Understand.
Thousands of workers and poor
farmers thruout the United States
understand this fact. So they are
contributing to the Communist Cam
paign Fund.
T is possible here to give only a
few of the many letters that are
coming in with contributions to the
Headquarters of the National Elec-
ton Campaign Committee.
Steve Morasky of Caldwell. Ohio
writes:
"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
pairn Fund Enclosed you will find
$500"
From Toledo, Ohio, Hannah Tueb-
bier writes:
accept this amount $500. Will
contribute again"
Harry A. Battle writes from
Orange, Mass:
Enclosed find two dollars to be
used for the campaign fund"
Branch GAG Of the Workmen's
Circle, New York, sends in five
dollar contribution.
And so the dollars and five dol
lars are pouring in.
From now on as the Communists
and their sympathizers get the col
Letting machinery into high speed,
the flood of contributions will in
crease steadily.
Communist assessment stamps
being sold to the Party membership
will bring in thousands of dollars.
If each Communist and each sym
pathizer considers that the success
sof this drive for 100000 rests on
HIS or HER shoulders. then success
is assured. And this is the way
every devoted Communist will re-
gard the drive.
