THE COMMUNIST ELECTION
CAMPAIGN

able number of the balance were carried thru
IN very poor fashion. Only about $50 fac
tory gate meetings were arranged and even
out OF this startlingly small number about 25
per cent took place. These failures were large
ly due to the lack of coordination between the
various sections of the Party in its work
No small shortcoming in this campaign was
the character of our candidates Most of them
did not participate in the campaign Many of
them were not even in town during the time
the campaign took place, but were in other
parts of the country. Out of our So candidates
we were able to certain the records of 81 as
to their participation in campaign activity. If
we take the number of times they spoke at
election meetings barometer we find the
following:
Candidates who never spoke, 8; candidates
who spoke one to three times during the entire
campaign, 10; Those who spoke about six times.
IL; those who spoke regularly twice a week. :,
8.
From these figures it can be seen that the
cadre of comrades who should have made the
best leaders in the campaign were useless and

Our shortcomings in regard to the lack of
response from the language organizations were
SO manifest as TO hardly need citation. Thus
practically every meeting arranged by our
language propaganda bureaus were failures.
Many bureaus did not even attempt to or
game meetings. Similarly those organizations
winch are friendly to the Communist Party
such as the various relief and defense organ
izations, and the left wing trade unions were
either not at all or hardly modified for the
drive. In some unions the agitation for the
Communist platform and ticket was so weak
that where in other matters as for example
participation in anti-war demonstrations under
United Front auspices it was possible to get
the entire organization to respond, in this case

Challenge From Coast to- Coast

Today, when we see the leftward swing of
the masses everywhere especially among the
young workers, our immediate task is to build
the Young Communist League based on the
factories. To date the California District has
been very quiet about its membership drive
and Young Worker Drive
AT Secretarat meeting, December 10, we
took up the Membership Drive and Young
Worker Sub Drive. We challenge the Califor-
MIA District to double its membership and
triple the number of Young Worker subscribers
by the two-month period, ending February Is.

office decide who succeeds best

historic retrogresson it does not answer the
demands placed upon it.
Again, the letter speaks in way which
shows this party Of workers distrustful of their
own abilities and power. Though they are
''the life force of the nation" they turn to
good Hatians," people evidently outside their
own ranks, from which ITO choose leader"
and confusing the ability to lead struggle
with the ability to write petitions and crate in
scholarly language, they invite inteectuals not
only to share leadership with them, which is
natural and correct so long as such intellec-
tuals subordinate themselves to the common
cause, but to "be our leaders," apparently with
out even the slightest direction or control by
workers, since they address Pierre Paul as
one "in whom to confide the elaboration of our
program" to-"make such declarations as you
will find necessary"
One might well wonder why workers form
an organization at all, if they turn over carte
blanche, the entire function of their organiza-
ton, which should consider and decide collec-
lively, to one man, however loyal to their in
terests he might be.
But there are other and deeper weaknesses
in the policies of the National Workers Party
of Haiti, which we will mention in following
article.

PENNSYLVANIA terrorism has received
temporary setback in the verdict of not
guilty handed out in the Accorsi frameup. The
we'll laid plans of the State went astray. The
sickeningly grotesque summary of the prosecu-
ton attorney was too raw.
When he alluded to "oir glorious institution
of state troopers carefully selected from the
best manhood of the country who did everything
possible to peaceably dispense the Sacco-Van-
zetti demonstration the prosecutor overstepped
himself.
All Pennsylvania knows the morbid brutality
of these hounds of Justice Too often have
they smashed in the heads of militant workers.
Too often have they ridden down women and
children.
The jury which returned the favorable ver-
dict was evidently swayed by the undoubted
general desire of all but the most corrupt sec
tions of the working class-the American
Legionaires and the bosses-for the abolition
of the state troopers. The obvious bankruptcy
of the states case had much to do with the
verdict. 1t was clear effort to take the life
of an innocent worker as revenge for the
justified killing of brutal colleague. 1t did
not succeed.
Don't Be Fooled.
While the working class has good reason for
exultation for having snatched one of its mem
bers from the bloody hands of Prussianized
Pennsylvania, we must not be fooled.
The legal machinery of the state, supported
sby all the power of the bosses was all set to
murder Accorsi. Their failure does not mean
that workers may expect "justce" in the fu-
ture. Only the bosses get justice in the CAPT
talst courts.
Accorsi was freed because of the splendid
fight made by the International Labor Defense

While mill hands find it hard to leave the
trade altogether, they can move from village
to village, looking for better break. South
ern mill owners have never been able to curb
labor turnover to their satisfaction. A moving
van is common sight in mill village. These
textile workers, like rural forebears, take their
dissatisfaction out in restless roaming about.
This is common but unfruitful method which
unorganized and underpaid workmen use
everywhere, until they learn that the real way
to accomplish improvements for themselves is
through their organized efforts.

The Romance OF
st. Valentines
Festival
BY Beatrice Fairfax
An Authority on Problems Of Love
and Marriage

An Authority on Problems Of Love
and Marriage
TOMORROW will be st. Valen-
n tines Day! Far and near there
will be tributes and, celebrations IN
honor of the patron saint OF young
love.
How surprised pious st. Valen-
tine would have been had he fore
seen the fame awaiting him as
friend of lovers! But his great
ness was thrust upon him HIS
conspicuous position in the Worlu
Is an accident.
As a matter of fact, We know
little about the good old SAINT
who has taken young lovers under
his wing. Two Christian martyrs
named Valentine were put to death
about so A. d. by the Roman Em-
peror Claudius. A church festlNal
dedicated to one of these gooo
men happened to fall on FEBRUARY
IA. which was also the Roman
spring festival of love and mating
For in that sunny cline birds
begin to mate and young folks to
turn lightly to thoughts OF ro-
nance about mid-February.
From so A. d. to 192s-that's a
long time for a simple holiday to
survive. And, for that matter.
st. Valentine is new name for
a holiday ancient even in 30 A. D.
Nearly all our holidays reach back
to the shadowy childhood of the
world. They survive because their
symbolic meaning is universal ana
precious, because they appeal TO
the poetic, imaginative and ro-
mantle in all of US, and because
they furnish a chance for escape
from prosaic everyday to a world
OF fun.
Bill and Betty, let us say, go to
Anne's Valentine party. Every.
one has a thoroughly good time.
At supper, red satin ribbons sus-
pended from the bow of Cupid. on
the big frosted cake centerpiece,
lead to place cards in the form
of hearts entwined for Bill and
Betty.
"You will wed blonde within
q year." reads the motto in Bills
tissue-cap favor. Betty draws a
wedding ring in her piece OF
cake-a lucky sign!
~'Do you know, Betty" remarks
Bill reflectively, as the two are
driving home, "signs sometimes
come true. I was just thinking
the wedding ring in your piece of
cake-my motto about marrying a
blonde and you being blonde
maybe we--don't you suppose--ir
We began in a small way"
BY this time Bill has managed
to slow up the car for an instant
at the side of the road. and a
hug and kiss finished his proposal
better than words could. So Betty
and Bill are engaged. Certainly,
st. Valentine helped things along.

''Vaccine" Said to End
Poison Ivy Suffering

The affliction from poison Ivy Is
now treated in the same way that hay
fever is combated-that is, by inject
ing into the sufferer minute quantities
of extract Of the very poison which
causes the distress. This has been
found effective both as a preventive
measure and as method of treat
ment. An injection of the poison ivy
antigen, which is an extract made up
of poison ivy leaves, acts in the same
manner as vaccine. 1t usually re-
quires about three injections into mus
cular tissue for the cure of case.
Within hours after the injection
the itching ceases and the irritation
begins to disappear. This treatment
immunize5 the patient against an at
tack of poison ivy for about two
months. However. the patient is again
susceptible the following season. IT
also is possible before the season be-
gins to give one injection of poison
ivy antigen and thus afford immunity
from the affection for three or four
months.-Washington Star.
