Can Fuller Be Libeied?

For carrying banner in Boston reading
'Fuller-Murderer of Sacco and Vanzetti,"
Harry Cantor, recent candidate for secretary
of state on the Workers (Communist) Party
ticket was arrested for criminal libel. That
Fuller was the instrument through which the
ruling class of this country spent their
vengeance upon Sacco and Vanzetti because
they were active in labor organization work
among the, foreign born workers is known
to everyone\capable of examining the facts
in the case. Every passing day adds to the
mountain of evidence that convicts Fuller as
having consciously, with cool elaboration,
committed the murder of Nicola Sacco and
Bartolomeo Vanzetti, knowing them innocent
and actively concealing evidence of their inno-
cence while he lied publicly to facilitate the
crime.
But it is not enough to say that Fuller is
murderer. 1t is necessary to say that the
act of numbering Sacco and Vanzetti, a per-
sonal act of Fuller as governor and of Thayer
as judge, was also the crime of murder by the
State of Massachusetts, as state, and by
the whole capitalist class of which the state
is but the instrument.
Not only Fuller is a monstrous and
cowardly murderer, but the record of his
LAKE lHV6SClgdClOn III WHICH ne was alQeQ by
the president of Harvard University, re-
tired judge whose class prejudice against
Sacco and Vanzetti was notorious, and the
president of the Massachusetts institute of
technology proves that the whole crew are
unprincipled liars, swindlers and murderers
of innocent men,
The torture and finally the murder of
Sacco and Vanzetti were perpetrated by the
lowest, meanest, and most vile aggregation of
unprinciped lackeys of capitalism Their
depravity might be duplicated but never sur
passed. Neither Harry Cantor, or any other
revolutionist, can find words to describe the
perpetrators of the murders of Sacco and
Vanzetti, say nothing of libelng them
To be sure it is quite in keeping with tn
traditions of these murderers to jail people
who call them by their right names. 1t is the
prerogative of the capitalist state to do such
things against the working class But each
of these despicable acts brings nearer the
day when the dictatorship of capitalism will
be replaced by the dictatorship of the prole-
tariat-the day when the Fullers and their
ilk will answer for their crimes before the
revolutionary tribunals of the working class.

Yes, 1t Is a Big Vote

The biggest vote that was ever cast for
reactionary political order was cast in this
election. The vote for Hoover, more than
100000, plus the vote for Smith, more
than 100000, was an outright vote for
the capitalist system, while the small vote
that was cast this year for the socialist par
ty was also vote for the capitalist system
in spite of the fact that thousands of work
ers followed this petty-capitalist party with
the illusions created by the name socialist
and by traditions long ago meaningless.
The unprecedented vote for Hoover, the
scion of Teapot Dome, open advocate of the
biggest finance-capital and of world imper-
ialism, was the largest vote ever cast for any
reactionary candidate in any country in the
history of nations. While Smith, his rival,
really represented reaction no less extreme,
nevertheless, the vote for Hoover was on the
whole somewhat more consciously cast in
favor of the blood-and-iron graft and mon
opoy which is today Incorporated in the
government at Washington.
Is this, then, democracy?
This is the dictatorship of the capitalist
class.
But, large as the vote for capitalist reac-
ton is in this election, there is on record
larger vote-against capitalism. For the
largest vote that was ever cast in any coun-
try in the world is the vote that is cast regu-
larly by practically every adult person in
population of 16O,000,000 in the elections in
the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics. This
vote, however, is cast. in favor of the social
ization of society and the development to-
ward free Communist order, in support of
the dictatorship of the working class.
1t is democracy of the masses, as distin-
guished from the democracy of the die
tatorship of the financial-capitalist oligarchy
which rules through the Coolidges, the
Hoovers and the Smiths.
What is the most important sign on the
horizon of this country in this election? 1t
is the small but growing support of the
Workers (Communist) Party. This tends to
build the revolutionary party which, by rev.
dictionary leadership of the masses outside
of the capitalist parliamentary forms, will
bring the greatest democracy-the demo-
cracy of the working masses.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-11-08

composed of seasoned class fighters who do
not let their political actions be influenced
by considerations of personal comfort, safety
and freedom from prison.
Communists carry to the workers the same
message, the same political principles, the
same call to action in class struggle regard
less of what personal sacrifices it may cost
to the Communists.
What reliance could the workers place in
any leader" who, upon being released from
capitalist prison, would then become friendly
to the capitalist jailors, hangmen and gov
ernor out of personal gratitude? None
whatever.
That is one of the differences between the
Workers '(Communist) Party and the yellow
Socialist" party, whose leaders soften their
voices, refrain from any action that would
displease the ruling class and that would
cause those leaders" to suffer imprison-
ment
1t is the so-called socialist" party whose
program is one of perpetual gratitude to the
capitalist ruling class. The Workers Com
munist) Party receives favors only from the
working class, and expresses gratitude to
no capitalist hangn1en of the working class.

Are Communists Grateful?
COMMUNIST GRATITUDE"

"Comrade Gitlow's slap at Governor Smith
shows that ingrattude is not trait peculiar
to republics. There is hint in it that some
thing of the sort may be carried over into the
Communistic state. Gitlow, who is running
for vice-president on the Workers Communist
ticket would not have been able to denounce
either of the old parties before Detroit audi
ence this week if it had not been for Governor
Smiths action in pardOnng him, after he had
served a fraction of his sentence in Sing Sing
fer criminal syndicaism something of the
sort.
"The other moral to this incident is that
governors, aspiring to higher office should not
open prison doors to mouths that have no bet
ter than to bite the hand that frees
them"
The above editorial from the Detroit Free
Press was published just after Ben Gitlow,
Communist candidate for vice-president,
spoke in Detroit. 1t deserves an answer.
We are very glad that this capitalist paper
admits that what it calls "the Communistic
State" will be established in this country, and
that it sees that the Workers Communist
Partys principles and practices will be
carried over into the workers state
We will inform the Detroit Free Press that
the leaders of the Communist movement do
not harbor gratitude toward the governors
and other tools of capitalist dictatorship for
any of the actions of the capitalist state
which may affect the persons of these lead
ers If capitalist governor or judge or any
other tool of capitalism issues any decision of
acquittal or any pardon in the case of any
working class revolutionary leader, such ac-
lions are not favors, but merely the carrying
out of the policies of the capitalist state.
If Smith "pardoned" Gitlow, it was because
the powerful capitalists behind Smith felt
that the circumstances of the particular mo-
ment did not make wise, for the moment, the
savage vengeance they would prefer to take.
In fact among the reasons why the Work
ers (Communist) Party is and remains the
revolutionary party of the American work.
lnYclass, is the fact that its leadership is
