The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-09-20

about the long hours and terrific speed up
system in USE?
Not a word from either of the candidates
about the deplorable conditions in the coal
mines, not word about the inhuman working
conditions of the beet workers, how whole fam
lilies, man and wives, and children of tender
years are working in the fields from sun up
to sun down for mere pittance. The sight
of the novels they live in would make anyone
sick at heart.
"Ail' Money Flows.
In order to cover up and make the workers
forget their miseries prohibition is being made
the main ISSUE Both candidates are wet and
both are trying to get the dry vote. Bitter
personalities are being INDUCED in over actv-
tiles of the Anti-Saloon league The Rev. A. ].
Finch. head of the anti-saloon league is also
president of some wild cat oil company. The
candidates who buys more of his wild cat oil
company stock gets the support of the league.
just now Hodges has their endorsement.
AS is usual in their fights between them
selves vast amounts of none yare being spent.
Although the Colorado law pecifically limits
expenditures of a candidate to $4,000, many
times that amount has been spent by each one.
Startling revelations are predicted when the
senate appoints its committee to investigate
these huge expenditures. We know what comes
OF these Investigations. 1t is evident that under
the capitalist system a seat in the seiate is
worth all the money that can be pent to obtain
it. So much for the Republican Party.
On the other side of the fence we have the
spectacle of the Democrats putting forward
among their candidates, Edward P. Costigan,
progressive, who uses left phrases to fool
the wrkers into voting for him. Just now he
is promising everybody everything One of the
lake labor papers in hackino hin, e+,+o. C..
the great issues of the day, unemployment
tarm-relief, tariff and power. he is with the
people,"
But there is the rub, the people to Costigap
is not you and |, the down trodden working
class. AS attorney for the Rocky Mountain
Fuel Co.. he had nothing to saw about the
massacre at one of their Mines the "Colunobine
when the workers were on strike for a living
wage. He favors some kind of a bonus for
the beet grwers association but has nothing to
say about the extremely poor pay of the beet
workers His hackers claim that he is a born
gentleman.
"hat tne workers want to represent them in
congress is not a born gentlement but a work
ing man who understands their needs. Costi-
gan Is liberal who would like to patch I'D the
rotten ystem in its most festered spots. But
as rotcen as the system j, he i for it, Besides
packing Costigan for Congress the American
reservation of Labor is boosting Governor "Bil-
adams to succeed himself The same
Governor Adams who called out the militia in
the coal strike to shoot down the workers in
cold blood.
Nothing to Offer
Inc workers of Colorado. thhe poor tenant
farmers of Colorado are beginning to realize
1nae tne TWO maor parties have nothing to
oi,er them. The battle amongst themselves is
throw nd in, tbo
The Communist Party is the onlv partv FIGHT
ing on the political field and the industrial
fleld for the sole benefit of the working class.
Our Candidates FIR office are making strong
political campaign and judging from the re-
spouse of the workers, we expect to make
the lackeys of big business fear for their soft
political jobs.
