panies were using and selling city

Governor Smith does not even
care to mention this record of Tam

platform.
A Well Paid Lot.
Democratic leaders are holding
city and county jobs and drawing
city and county salaries for doing
political work for their party.

Hall and the republican party of
Teapot Dome fame both serve the
capitalist class of this country
which in its wild quest for more and
more profits uses all means for the
attainment of it's ends-force, prop
uganda, corruption, etc.
Smith as Liberal"
Smiths liberalism is a myth. He
is Tammany machine man, leader
of the New Tammany, party of the
big bourgeoisie, tied up with the
largest and most powerful corpora
tons in the United States. Smith
stands for more power to the finan-
cial interests through stronger, more
autocratic, more militarist govern
ment, far removed from the pres
sure of the masses and more eff
Gent in expressing labor. Smith
stands for fake ownership of GER
tain public utilities whereby the
state spends the money and the pri-
vate interests reap the profits. He
stands for the reduction of taxes or
big business; for the vicious system
Of compulsory arbitration against
the workers, for militarism, for fake
concessions to the labor bureaucracy
and the iron heel against the work
ers in their struggles. Smith is ar
agent of the finance capitalists who
control the democratic party. The
New Tammany is an instrument Of
Wall Street.
Both Parties for Capitalism.
The republican and democratic
parties are the parties of the cap.
italist class. Big business fears
neither party. Owen D. Young, II
the New York Times, says that botf
candidates, Hoover and Smith, are
fine American specimens; that
whether republicans or democrat:
win we will have prosperity, tariff
ETC.; that America is safe with both
parties, but he prefers the more
''liberaP' individual, Smith. Ameri
can capitalism is safe with both par
ties; and the working class will suf
fer from both parties.
What the Workers Must Do.
The workers have nothing to hope
for from either capitalist party
The workers must support the onl,
party in the United States that rep
resents the interests of the work
ers and fights in their daily strug
giles; that is fighting to abolish thu
system which breeds poverty, un
employment and war for the work
ing class and to establish a work
ors' society. Vote Communist. JON
