Make Your Vote Useful.
The Communists ask the workers
to vote for their own standard
Lbearers, Foster and Gitlow, in order
ito demonstrate the growing soli-
darity of the working class home
and abroad with the victorious work
ers of Soviet Russia and with the
oppressed colonia, masses, with the
fighting workers in every corner
of the world-with the exploited
farmers, with the oppressed Ne
groes. To vote Communist is the
one way to utilize this election for
til oppressed against the oppres-
sors, for the exploited against the
exploiters. -Euls.
A vote for the Communists is a
vote for the working class. A work
er's vote for any other party is not

interests of the working class.

necks of the organized workers must
be wrenched loose from their posi-.
tons and replaced by leaders who
will lead the fight against the bosses
and not play the role of betrayers.
Full Equality for Negroes.
One of the main planks of the
Workers (Communist) Party plat
form is the question of the oppres-
sion of the Negro race. The Gem
munist Party is the sole champion
organizer and defender of the Ne
gro race. Our platform favors full
social, political and Industrial rights
for the Negroes. This election cam
paign has been utilized to lay the
basis for fresh efforts to unite the
Negroes in behalf of their racial
and class interests.
The Party program calling for a
fight against lynching, segregation
and the other evils from which the
Negro masses suffer has been
brought into the heart of the south
and this is one of the great his
torical developments in the class
struggle in the United States.
The parties of big capital, the
democratic and republican parties
and the party of small business, the
socialist party, have no solution for
the Negro problem any more than
for the problems that confront the
rest of the exploited masses thru
out the United States.
Other Parties Class Enemies.
The role of the republican and
democratic parties is that of police
men and jailers of the oppressed
masses, black and white. The re-
publican and democratic parties are
now vieing with each other as to
which can best prove their hatred
of the Negro. The parties of lynch.
ing and segregation of Negroes, OF
strikebreaking, injunctions and the
shooting, clubbing and failing OF
workers, the parties of Wall Street
of imperialist aggression abroad and
exploitation at home, are the enc
mics of the working class.
The socialist party, having de-
serted the class struggle and repudi-
ated the workers as a base for its
political existence, is now trying to
establish itself definitely in the po-
litical arena as the third party of
capitalism.
Workers, Vote Communist,
The workers and poor farmers of
the United States and the doubly
exploited Negroes must fight those
parties and support the platform
and candidates of the Workers
(Communist) Party of America, the
party of the class struggle and of
uncompromising struggle against
American imperialism until the CAPT
talist system is overthrown and the
task of building up a proletariap
social order is begun under the di.
rection of Workers and Farmers
Government.
Every worker, poor farmer and
Negro should support the Workers
(Communist) Party ticket in this
election campaign.

Lights and Shadows
OF the Election FIGHT

Really, than these corporations
there are no worse open shop organi-
cations in the world. Perhaps that
is the best reason why Mr.. Green of
the American Federation of Labor,
is supporting Mr.. Smith.
When Smith speaks of the side
walks of New York" he means the
Sidewalks of Wall Street." That is
why the democratic campaign boast
that:
This most liberal governor has
nevertheless the confidence of big
conservative business men-a con-
fidence such as they seldom give
to anybody except their own as
sociates and political servants"
And here is the reason why one of
the glibbest of Americas Jeffer-
sonian liberals, Claude G. Bowers,
in his speech as temporary chairman
of the National Democratic Conven-
ton, truthfully declared:
Woodrow Wilson was not an
enemy of business.
"In the eight years of his adj
ministration' we gave more intelli-
gent legislative service to honest
business than had been given in a
generation before.
eve defy them to name a demo-
cratic president who was an
enemy of business"
In the light of these facts, con-
fessions and boasts, no worker
should be fooled. The foreign born
workers who are at all conscious
of their class interests will no, ac-
cept the piffle of Smith being their
friend, because the democratic party
machine in the eastern industrial
centers is more foreign born in
character than the republican
machine in these localities.
The foreign language editors who
ask the foreign-born workers to vote
for Smith or Hoover are only we'll
paid agents and enemies of the work
ing masses of all nationalities.
HoOver-the Speed-up President.
Hoover, of course, needs no intro
duction to the Holiest of Hottest, of
Wall Streets best sons. Hoover is
the symbol of the speed-up, of in
tense exploitation, open shop, mass
production, and all that makes for
the prosperity and power of the
American imperialists. Says the
magazine of Wall Street,
eff one likes the attitude of gov
eminent toward business since
Harding was inaugurated, then ne
must like Hoover's attitude toward
business. The Ell lee ION Of
Hoover would make it certain that
there would be no business toat-
rocking at Washington. 49,.
"He believes in deliberately using

eminent to help business help it.

the head of i business nation in

would be as president, constantly r.
building and imp owing at home and

the general tendency of government

Some Shadows of the Campaign,
That is why John l.. Lewis, be-
trayer and destroyer of the United
Mine Workers of America has come
ou' for Hoover. And that is just
the reason for W. N. Doak, edito'

Given union, with leaders who
can control the members and who
are disposed to approach the differ
ences in business spirit, there are
few sounder positions for the en-
ployers. The sooner the fact IS
recognized, the better for the en-
ployers."
Yes, the sooner the workers also
recognize this fact the better for
their position. Hoover is the presi.
dent of capitalist naturalization and
all that it spells for the worker
lowered wages, heightened hours
life-sapping speed-up, disemployed
workers by the millions, denial of
the right to organize, government by

profits and swollen dividends for
the ruling class.
The socialist party presents a
very sorry figure in the campaign.
1t has gone over lock, stone and
barrel to the worst enemies of the
working class. Today it's tune

By JAY LOVESTONE.

"This election will be more like
corporation meeting than any
of its forty-four predecessors.
Outside of land ownership, the
United States is now controlled by
corporations.
This is what the Magazine Of
Wall Street" said the other day.. Of
course this is not telling the whole
truth. No land can be exempt long
from the clutches of the corpora
tions. But the significant feature
of this remark is its frankness,
brazenness and accuracy in so far
as the general outstanding char
acteristics of the present election
campaign go.
1t is true that the capitalist class
ha always been on the job in select
ing the chairman of it's executive
committee in Washington. II is
equally true that the big bankers
and manufacturers have always
poured millions into the election eff
forts of their lackeys in the big ca,i-
talist parties. Yet, never did 50
many of the very biggest business
executives" in finance and industry
participate so much in the open, or
as actively in the general work of
the election campaigns.
Never before was the apparatus
of both parties of big capital so
fused with the machinery of the
biggest business interests. Vast con-
tributions to the candidates cam
paign chest were never so openly
numerous as today. And this after
all the froth and noise of the senate
and the liberals about the menace
of big campaign funds and tainted
democracy"
The whole situation is strikingiy
illustrated in the fact that the demo-
cratic party, 7hich has since the
Civil War represented in large
measure the interests of the smaller
capitalists, has now a whole heaven
full of "angels" among the leaders
OF the most gigantic capitalist
groups in the country. Never before
was the ownership of the demo-
cratic party by the mightiest bust
ness interests SO tightly sewed up.
Brushing aside all loose talk of
Smith about "the people," Sacred
Jeffersonianism" and american
liberalism" one finds that all lib
erals, Progressives, LaFolletteites,
confused and bankrupt Farmer
Laborites, and pseudo-socialists, are
really taking their orders from
Raskob, one of the most noto. Jus
labor-hating plutocrats America has
produced.
Smith has more big capitalists
for him than any democratic candi-
date has ever had. These har l.
headed exploiters of the workers and
farmers are not accustomed to
throwing their money away. 1t is
not for nothing that they are now
pouring millions into the democratic
party Golfers.

The response of the workers in
the cities where have spoken on

spontaneously enthusiastic and en-
couraging. The broad masses of
American workers are showing in
creasing signs Of readiness and
eagerness for new leadership. and
large numbers will not only vote
Communist, but follow Communist
leadership on the industrial field in
more militant struggles against the
b. sses.

Most American workers are no
longer afraid of the bolshevik DOGGY,
no longer easily affected by anti

they are looking to the Communists
more and more for trustworthy lead

Getting Hard to Fool.
1t will be increasingly hard for
the democrats, republicans and So
