their crime"
Gitlow pointed out the corruption
of the two chief capitalist parties
and showed how the Wall Street
government is constantly extending
the influence Of American capital
ism. Tho only opposition to this i'm
perialistic policy comes from the
Workers (Communist) Party, he
said.
Jay Iovestone, executive secretary
of the Workers (Communist) Party,
also spoke and declared that the re-
publican, democratic and socialist
parties are all part of the capital
ist menagerie, symbolizing corrup-
ton, strikebreaking and ruthless ex-
ploitation.
Other Speakers.
Other speakers were Robert
Minor, editor Of the Daily Worker
and Communist candidate for U. S.
Senate from New York, who en-
phasized the penetration of the
Workers Party into the "Solid
South" Juliet Stuart Poyntz, candi-
date for Attorney-General of New
York, who appealed to the wome;,
workers to support the Communist
candidates; Otto Huiswood, repre-
senting the Negro workers; Herbert
Zam, secretary of the Young Work
ers League; Edward Welch, Negro
candidate for Congress; and Nor
man Tallentire, Of the international
Labor Defense, who asked for sup
port Of the defense Of the 662 New
Bedford strikers who are going on
trial.
An appeal for funds by Poyntz
brought response totaling more
than $1,000.

The workers Party points out
the class character of the Amer

workers that only the. revolution
ary struggle against Wall St. can
overthrow it and it's government.
The government is engaged in
extending the influence of capi-
talism, of intensifying exploita-
tion. In pursuing its imperialist
policy, it is coming in conflict
with other imperialist powers,
leading to world war. Only the
Communists are fighting this war
in true Bolshevik fashion. And
we are proud to be Bolsheviks.
We are proud to learn from the
experiences of the Russian work
ers and peasants. We must go
forward to the organization of
mighty revolutionary party of the
workers in this country if capi-
talism is to be overthrown.

Gitlow, IN Speech, Hits
Sacco- Vanzeth Murder

In his speech at Madison Square
Garden yesterday afternoon Benja
min Gitlow, Communist candidate
for vice president, said in part:
1t has now been definitely
proven that Sacco and Vanzetti
were innocent. The article that
appears in The Outlook has defi-
nitely proven what the masses of
the revolutionary workers always
have maintained about Sacco and
Vanzetti. They have always
maintained that Sacco and Van
zetti were innocent and were the
victims of frame-up on the part
of the capitalist ruling class of
this country.
Fuller--Murderer.
The article shows that Cover
nor Fuller had in his possession
the evidence proving their inno-
cence, and he now stands once
more revealed as a murderer.
And equally guilty with Governor
Fuller is the whole capitalist
class and its agents.
The Workers (Communist)
Party declares that the workers
of the United States and of the
entire world will not forget the
murder of Sacco and Vanzetti.
There will come a time and it
will come soon in the United
States when those guilty of this
murder will be hailed before the
revolutionary tribunal of the
workers and will have to answer
for their crime.

all represented in this unique

Foster Exposes All Three
Boss Parties IN Speech

The Workers (Communist)
Party is the only revolutionary
party. We tell the workers
frankly; not by reforming capi-
talism, but by overthrowing cap
italism will your emancipation be
achieved. And in this campaign
we have laid the greatest en-
phasis on the Negro question.
The Party has taken up the cud-
gels in behalf of the Negro and
has declared war against every
form of Negro persecution.
And we tell the white workers
that the semi-enslavement of the
Negro workers is a blow against
all the workers. We demand COM
plete social and political equality
for the Negroes. And, moveover,
for the first time in this country,
we have raised the slogan of the
right of self-determination for
the Negroes.
And what of the socialist party
and the Negroes? Well, Norman
Thomas made speaking tour in
the south and throughout that
tour he never said a word for the
Negroes.
War Danger.
There is the problem of the war
danger facing the workers of this
country. 1t is my opinion that
never since the signing of the
Versailles treaty has the danger
of war been so imminent. The
conflicts among the imperialist
powers are leading inevitably to
new and more terrible world war.
And they are counting on the So
cialist parties of the world to re-
move the opposition of the work
ers to this war and to lead the
workers to the slaughter.
But in this they will, I think,
be doomed to defeat. For since
the last world war the Commu-
mist International has been or
ganized and the Communist Par
ties of the world will not only op-
pose the next imperialist war, but
will put into effect the policy Of
Lenin and of the Communist In
:ernational and convert the i'm
perialist war into a civil war
against the capitalist class.
Must Organize for Fight.
Out of the last war there
emerged a Soviet government in
one country. Before the next war
is over there will be a whole
string cf Soviet governments in
the world. Today we celebrate
the 18th anniversary of the rev.
olution that created the Soviet
Union. Despite the imperialists,
despite their efforts to crush the
only workers and peasants gov
ernment-efforts which still con-
tinue-the Soviet Union lives, the
Soviet Union is marching from
victory to victory.
Just as the small Communist
Party of Russia overthrow Rus
sian czarism and capitalism, the
Communist Parties will overthrow
capitalism in every country. Here
in the United States we are now
asking the workers to pave the
way for that overthrow by voting
the Communist ticket in the cleo
tions. And, what is more, we ask
you to join the Workers (Com-
munist) Party and organize for
the fight that will strike the
death blow to American imperial
sex,,
The daily worker., 1928-11-05

Speaking before 10000 workers at
Madison Square Garden yesterday
afternoon, William 2. Foster, Com
munist candidate for president, sale
in part:
This demonstration is the
climax of the greatest election
campaign that the left wing move
ment in this country has ever con-
Quoted, The campaign emphasized
the coming forward of the Work
ers (Communist) Party as the or
ganizer and leader Of the working
class, and the Party will un-
doubtedly draw the biggest vote in
it's history.
The day will surely come when
some Communist will stand at the
head of the government in Ameri-
ca. But we are under no delusions
as to the nature of that govern
ment. When a Communist is elected
president of the United States he
will be the head of a Soviet gov
ernment Of the workers and poor
farmers.
The socialist party has been
for ten years in a process of de-
cline and degeneration and the
present campaign m arks its
lowest point. 1t has adopted COM
pletely the program of the bureau
Gratis and has become the party of
the petty-bourgeoisie. And its or
ganizational degeneration pro-
ceeds as fast as its political de-
generation. The socialist party
will go down to oblivion unhonored
and unsung.
The two big parties have come
forward with program more
brazerly capitalistic than ever be-
fore. The democratic party plat
form is identical in essentials with
the republican platform. Workers
ard farmers can look to it for no
relief Of their present unbearable
conditions Instead of the Ku Klux
Klan of Hoover, the democratic
party offers US the catholic church
of All Smith.
Smiths labor speech in Newark
the other night was, if possible,
even more reactionary than Hoo
ver's. 1t was a brazenly open
shop speech. He tried to give the
impression that the democratic
party is against injunctions. Yet
it was during the Wilson admins
tration that under the instigation
of the infamous A. Mitchell Pal
mer, there was issued the most
drastic injunction in the history of
the country-the one against the
United Mine Workers. And it
was with Al Smith as governor of
New York that during the cloak
makers strike two years ago one
almost as bad was issued.
Smith and the democratic party
have nothing to offer the workers.
Workers who vote for the two big
parties are voting against their
own interests. And labor leaders
who endorse the capitalist parties
are betrayers of the workers.
"The bureaucrats of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, who are
supporting Hoover and Smith,
have entirely abandoned the
struggle against the bosses. The
workers of this country must
free themselves from this para
site misleadership and carry on
a militant struggle against their
exploiters

Interview With Shifrin.

William Shifrin sat in the office
Of the Daily Worker. Outside, on
Union Square, the last echoes of the
great Red Parade, the triumphant
march Of the working class of New
York in honor of their candidates,
William Y. Foster and Benjamin
Gitlow, still hung in the air. And
only a few hours before the doors
Of Bronx County Jail had swung
open and for the first time in seven
weeks this militant worker breathed
the free air.
Shifrin is a magnificent looking
man. His large, impressive body is
topped by a head of unusual
strength. Black, commanding eyes
flash in his handsome face. There
