HOLD ELECTION
DRIVE TAG DAYS
AUGUST IS Is
Sell "Vote Communist"
Buttons, Stamps

Tag Days to raise funds for the
Workers (Communist) Party Elec-
ton Campaign will be held in large
cities thruout the United States from
August 10 to August 26. Interest
in the elections have now been slim
ulated to such an extent that all
affairs will be successful if properly
organized.
The "Vote Communist Stamp and
the "Vote Communist Button" are
now selling in large quantities.
Candidates Photos.
The stamp is printed over back
ground formed by the Red Hammer
and Sickle with the photographs of
Foster and Gitlow tastefully worked
in. These can be posted on envel-
opes, letters, programs, shop papers
bulletins.
The sale of stamps and buttons
will add materially to the 100000
Communist Campaign Fund in ad-
dition to being excellent propaganda.
A book of eighty stamps sells for
$1.00. They can be resold at 10
cents per page of eight stamps. In
quantity lots they can be secured at
55 books for $50; 80 for SIS; 125 for
$500.
Designed by Ellis.
On the "Vote Communist" button
is beautiful arrangement of the
photographs of Foster and Gitlow
within solid red shield. They can
be sold anywhere for dime. They
can be secured in lots up to 100 for
cents each to 2 cents each in lots
of 5000 or over.
The stamp and the button were
designed by the noted proletarian
artist, Fred Ellis.
With unemployment severe, the
poor farmers being crucified by the
bankers and mulcted by the railroads
in excessive freight rates, the textile
workers receiving cuts in wages
and the miners strike betrayed by
the Lewis machine, the opportunity
for Communist propaganda was
never brighter.
/ 1t will be simple matter to make
the workers understand that Al
Smith, backed by the House of Nor
gan and the Du Pont Powder Com
pany, as we'll as other great finan-
cial and industrial barons, cannot be
friend of the working class. He
will serve the interests of those who
provide his campaign funds.
Thomas Straddling.
Likewise Hoover, who is backed
by the strikebreaker Mellon and the
slave-driver Ford as well as by an
other big chunk of the American
bourgeoisie.
The candidate of the socialist
party, Thomas is trying to straddle
the burning issues of the day
The only party in the field that
stands for the workers is the Work
ers (Communist) Party. Its mes
sage will fall on fertile soil during
this election campaign, if the Ma
tional Election Campaign Commit
tee has the funds to tour speakers
and print tons of literature.
Workers and Farmers! Collect
money from your associates in field
and factory Sell "Vote Commu-
mist" stamps and "Vote Communist"
buttons. Participate in Tag Days
Make this the greatest fight to
spread Communism ever undertaken
in the the United States. The work

gle against capitalism.

Army. .o -.
According to Secretary Of War. Davis,
2.a37 OFFICERS OF the Regular Army are
due for retirement before reaching the
grade Of colonel OF whom 1 i,254 will not
get advance above the grade OF major
About 239 will retire as captains, and 2
as FIRST lieutenants This condition OF
affairs, described by the Secretary OF
War as genuine menace to the ma
tionai defense" Is largely affected by the
World War hump This so-called hump
consists of the large group OF emer-
gency officers coming In practically 81
multaneously without regard TO rank
Five thousand eight hundred in one year
is not normal because 1t docs not per-
NIT an equal distribution either as To
rank, age or retirement. The normal
intake, IL Is pointed out should be about
407 yearly, while the normal retirement
should be about 400 yearly. The War
Department has fixed 4 per cent as the
necessary yearly attrition to relieve the
present situation, but without regula-
tive measures this attrition will not
occur. The problem to be solved there
fore. is that of securing the elimination
of 407 officers per year; and 1t is to pro-
vide such separations that the Black
proposal has been made. Two possible
methods of bringing about this addi-
tional attrition have been proposed.
They are: n Involuntary and. (O
voluntary. -.

5oiivians are thinking in terms of cannon and flags
and sacrifice in the countryfs cause. In such an at
~mosphere and before such n populace this man kauf
man, United Stateser, and therefore q foreigner, got on
his feet and made a speech that Is said 20 have brought
an ovation ut La Par.
Did Mr.. Kaufman talk about glory and duty and
the privilege of shedding ones blood for his native
land? He did not. Instead he talked about the great
ness Of peace. He praised the courage Of q people that
dares to take international problems in digaity un-
ruffled and unafraid. The people heard him ard cheer.
ed hin wildly. And IS goes La Par, so goes Bolivia.
When peace is cenented between the two fiery littls
countries now contending 30 earnestly for q tract Of
frontier land, the League of Nations will have had its
influence, the ~Pan-American Union will have had q
part, the secretary Of state Of the United States will
deserve some credit; OF others. men and institutions.
there will be those who have labored also for peace.
But Mr.. Kaufman ought not to be forgotten. Talking
peace to e war-mad mob and wrestling cheers from lips
but lately breathing out maledictions upon an enemy
here is diplomacy indeed. The country may well Be
proud Of its minister to Bolivia.
