all speed. The entire work of the
Party in the elections must be or
gained as fighting campaign, dis
carding all routine and desultory
methods, The regular apparatus of
the Party must be keyed up for this
task and, as with all campaigns, a
special auxiliary apparatus through
out the Party, from top to bottom,
must, be constructed.
WE should aim high, because the
prospects and possibilities are great.
The election campaign this year ought
to bring out all the latent powers and
resources Of the Party, concentrating
them all,--for the first time in a
single general struggle. We should
aim at ten-fold greater propaganda
with hundreds of speakers, with thou
sands Of meetings on the street cor
ners, and with our participation in
the campaign dramatized in every
possible way.
The Communist Parties of Germany,
France and Poland have utilized the
elections this year to extend and
consolidate their influence. The cleo
tons gave remarkable demonstra-
ton of the stability and growing
strength of Communism in Europe
and showed that Communists know
how to exploit elections in the capital
ist state for revolutionary purposes.
For US in America the election
campaign, as means of revolution
airy propaganda and mobilization for
struggle, has All extraordinary sig
nificance. 1t offers us the opportunity
to bring the message of Communism
and its platform of daily struggle to
tens of thousands of workers and
farmers with whom we have not yet
established contact and who know
nothing of our aims.
The Party must see this opportun-
ity clearly and mobilize all of its
forces for the fight. The nominating
convention showed that all the lead
ing circles of the Party are ready to
plunge into the work of the cam
paign with energy and confidence. l.
remains now to carry the message of
the convention to all the Party ranks
and inspire them with it's spirit and
enthusiasm.

der U. S. imperialist rule. Our faith
is in the common people of America,
especially the workers-not in the

the U. S. section of our League upon

proves conclusively that our outlook
is the correct one.

American imperialism is powerful,

look upon the whole matter as a
phase of the struggle between the
forces of imperialism and the great

BY JAMES P. CANNON.

THE awakening of all the leading
= forces of the Party to the import
ance of the election campaign was
demonstrated in the most dramatic
and convincing manner by the ma
tional nominating convention. No one
who took part in the convention or
watched it's three days deliberations
could have the slightest doubt that
the Party has at last made a real be-
ginning with election activities.
1t was our first national nominal
ing convention and for many new
members and sympathizers it was the
first effective demonstration of the
Party's national scope and organiza-
ton. The convention itself and all
the preparations for it were excel
lently organized and the high points
effectively dramatized. This was no
mere happen-so. The Party machine
is nine years old and the experience
of our past work is bearing it's fruit
in every phase Of Party activity. The
successful organization Of all sides of
the convention preparations augurS
we'll for the 1928 campaign.
Party Growth Reflected
The convention reflected the growth
and development of the movement in
a striking manner. We have held
many conventions in the past nine
years. Even in the period when the
Party was outlawed, we held num-
Der of underground conventions
where as few as thirty or forty dele
gates from ten or twelve states strug-
gled and argued for days over dis
puted points of the program.
The convention we have just held
had 296 voting delegates from 80
states and the District of Columbia.

ment was unwilling to meet our head
on challenge by criminal prosecution.
The imperialist policy of Wall Street
and Washington is not popular
among the American masses. The
great majority of American workers
and farmers are opposed to the i'm
perialist adventure in Nicaragua.
Fearing too much publicity, the gov
eminent felt that it could not afford
to allow us the public platform of a
criminal trial. Workers and farmers
are disturbed enough as it is.
Workers and farmers have no in

Nicaragua or of any other country
The profits that are derived go to
Wall Street, whose soldiers shoot
down American workers in Colorado

The last question is all the more

Opening the Election Campaign

of the epic struggle of the coal min
ers.
Some erroneous conclusions have
been drawn from these activities,
partly because our work in the past
has been somewhat one-sided. Many
workers who see our Party in these
fights and who support it in them
have not yet come to recognize us as
a general political party, fighting eff
fectively in the political arena.
rs it not fact taat many workers
= in New York who support us in
the needle trades against the socialist
party traitors vote for these same
charlatans on election day? What
is the explanation of this anomaly :?
1t arises primarily from our failure
up to now, because of the passivity
of the Party members in this respect,
to make a sufficient impression in the
election field, with the result that we
are regarded in some circles of the
sympathizing workers as a "trade
union party" only. This confusion
must be overcome in the 1928 cam
paign. 1t is one of our great tasks
in the coming election period to deal
death-blow to all such misconcep-
tions.. The convention was big help
to this end.
The convention dramatized the en-
trance of the Party into the presi-
dental vampaign and focused the at
tention of the Party on it even more
effectively than we had dared to hope.
The lackadaisical approach to this
form of work which has been so notice
able in the past was entirely lack
ing. The spontaneous enthusiasm
which greeted nomination of our can
didates, Foster and Gitlow, and other
high points of the convention was in
spring to see. 1t swept over the
whole gathering and took possession
of all. The comrades who attempted
to prolong it unduly and artificially,
however, should be reproved for their
overzeal. Gold needs no gilt and
proletarian enthusiasm needs no
claque.
With our great nominating conven-
ton as the starting point, we must
now proceed to the development of our
election activity with all forces and

ers, textile workers and the embat-
tied needle-trades workers were there
as well as delegates from the solid
south and the far west. The compo-
sition of the convention deserves
special article. 1t showed a picture
of a national organization.
THE character of the delegations and
I the burning issues of the class
struggle dealt with in the platform
and the speeches were convincing
proof that the Communist Party does
not approach the election campaign
from the standpoint of the capitalist
and reformist parties. The election
is for us field of the class struggle
and we raise there the issues and
slogans which animate the struggles
of the workers on every front, devel-
oping them further and tying them
together.
The success of the convention was
so pronounced as to justify the opin-
ion that we are nearing the accomp-
lishment of a most essential task,
that is, to establish our position as
political party in the general and
national sense of the word In re-
cent years, the Party has developed
greatly along the line of partial and
sectional struggles of the workers.
1t is now gathering it's forces for a
general fight on the broader field.
Herein lies the great significance of
the turning point marked by the
opening of our national election cam
paign.
The Party has already made good
name for itself as a fighter for the
interests of the workers on the eco
nomic field. The hatred and lear of
the cxploiters and all their labor
agents for us is the outcome of the
heavy blows we have dealt them.
Communists Heart of Mine Struggle.
Many workers have a good opin-
ion of our work in the trade unions
and think it represents the sum total
of our activity. We made a good
fight at Passaic. We, together with
the Workers, fought and are fighting
the bosses, the police, the A. F. of L.
and S. P. traitors to a standstill in
the needle trades. At the present
time our Party is the heart and soul

Imperialism needs an administra-

it's interests. Within the last month
Great Britain has ordered fleet
into Egyptian waters in connection
with a 48-hour ultimatum to the
Egyptian government. Japan with
$4,000 troops concentrated in China
(15,000 of them in Manchuria) has
fought war with the Chinese Ma
tionalist army in an effort to main
tain "peace and order" in terri
tories where Japanese interests are

continue their war in Nicaragua as
means of "insuring constitutional
elections" in that unhappy country.
