Capitalist Politicians Will Never
Stop Lynching.
The political servants of the i'm
perialist oppressors will never abol-
ish lynching. The Cole Bleases and
the Helms, the Glasses and the
Tillmans, openly support lynch
ing. The Coolidges and the Hoovers
and the Smiths either silently sup
port lynching or speak hypocritical
words, but never take action against
the lynchers. The parties of big and
small business, the parties which
represent the interests which fatten
upon the system of violent enslave-
ment and repression of the Negro
and white workers, will never abol-
ish lynching.
The republican and democratic
parties have held the power of gov
eminent between them. During all
this time nothing has ever been done
to punish lynchers, while thousands
of black and white workers have
been done to death. Both repubh-
cans and democrats united to defeat
the Dyer anti-lynching bill, which
in spite of its many defects would
have provided some legal basis for
proceeding against the lynchers.
The Democratic Party of Lynching
The democratic party is the party
of the solid South, the party of the
business men and the plantation
owners who live upon the labor and
subsection of the black and white
workers. Not a single Negro dele
gate was seated in the democratic
convention, and a Jim-Crow cage
was provided for Negro visitors. Al
Smith and Jimmy Walker by many
acts have openly shown their COM
plete acceptance of the whole nefari-
Gus system of race oppression and
class exploitation and have proved
their thorough subservience to big
business. They have received the
seal of approval of the Bleases as
we'll as of the Raskovs, of the
Southern lynchocrats as we'll as of
the Northern financiers. Tammany
Hall stands solidly with the Southern
democrats for Acknowledgement,
segregation, peonage and lynching
for the enslavement and exploitation
of the black and white masses of
America.
The Republican Party's Betrayal
and Lynching.
The republican party is the party
of big business, of the bankers and
financial magnates who have only
one use for the Negroes-to KEEP
them in violent subsection, in order
to wiring wealth out of their toll.
The republican party used the
Negroes to win control of the gov.
eminent for the capitalists, from the
chattel slave holders. But as soon
as the capitalists succeeded in es-
tablishing their system of wage
slavery and exploitation, the Re-
publican party betrayed the Negroes
and delivered them up to the slave
drivers and iynchers. Hoover, the
republican candidate for president
is the faithful servant of the i'm
perialist oppressors. He has main
tanned segregation in his depart
ment, and condoned the peonage and
abuse of thousands of Negroes dur
ing the Mississippi flood disaster
The republican party openly rebuffs
the Negro by segregating their dele
gates at it's national convention in
Kansas. The few empty and hollow
words which the republicans give to
the Negroes in their platform should
deceive no one. It's record of be-
trayal and repression proves it also
to be the party of jim Crowism and
disfranchisement, peonag and
/ lynching, the party Of the wealthy
tyrants who grind huge profits out
Of the black and white workers and
farmers Of this country.
Socialist Party Now Openly
TreacherOus.
The socialist party is treacherous
1t openly declared upon taking Of.
flee in Reading, Pennsylvania, that
it would maintain capitalist law and
order. Its empty gesture of the
Berger anti-lynching bill means
nothing. Besides this bill fails ir
the most important essential, the
right of self-defense for the Negro
masses.
The socialist leaders of the Pull
man Porters have lined up with Viii.
liam Green, President Of the A. F
of L. They have betrayed the in.
terests Of the Pullman Porters. They
have accepted the policy of segre.
cation and non-organization Of black
workers advocated by Green, anc
the reactionary officialdom of the
trade unions. Randolph has openly
declared for Smith, the candidate Of
the democrats, the party Of the
southern lynchers. He has not ever
been rebuked or censured by the so,
