...i.obla way suppressed the militant or
..;,.t;ons Of labor The unholy alliance between
n. leaders Of orga- lied labor and farmers Organi-
cations with the two parties Of Wall Street Is one
of he main obstacles standing in the way OF the
taking over Of the function Of government by the
people. ,,s
The so-called progresslves in the Republican ana
Democratic parties are playing the role OF tram
ed rams" who lead the working class sheep INTO
the shan,bles Of TIE capitalist parties Such men
- Wheeler. LaFollette, Blaine, LaGuardla Norris
Borah and their ilk while playing to the proletar-
ian gallery are effectively the worst enemies OF
tie masses, because they delude them into the De
lief that the capitalist system Is basiealy sound'
that the thing to do is to elect good men 70
office on the Republican and Democratic tickets.
This pernicious theOry-prOmulgated by the Non
partisan League must be eradicated from the
minds of the masses and they must be convinced
hat no man no matter how good can help IND
solution for the problems of industrial and agrl-
cultural labor thru the medium Of political ma
chimes owned and controlled by the enemies OF the
people The exploited masses must learn To re-
gard ali those who contend that basic solution
for their problems can be found thru the medium
Of the two capitalist parties, as conscious or un-
Willingly agents Of capitalism
Rival bankers in the Republican and Democratic
circuses would have the masses believe that by pa
tronizng either, one-side show the other, name
", high tariff or low tariff they assure them
selves of a full dinner pail The fact is that the
tariff war is a struggle between two factions in
the capitalist system, one hand those who stand
to gain by high tariff and on the other hand
those who profit by low tariff on imported COM
nodities This controversy does not concern the
producing classes. It is only of the many red
herrings that are drawn across the political trail
to prevent the people from seeing that the cause
of their misery lies in the capitalist system itself
In the face of these conditions only one road lies
open for the industrial workers and farmers. They
must join political party representing the inter
ests of the producing classes 10 wrest control Of
! the government from the hands of the financial
and industrial masters of the nation The Farmer
Labor party is such political party.
| The Farmer-Labor party frankly aims to carry
on such struggle 1t declares its purpose to tak'
over the government in the interests of all the ex
plotted who work with hand and brain IN industr!
and or the farms. 1t aims to build social sys
tenn which will secure for the masses a highe
standard of living and which viii have as it
first object their happiness and well being.
The Farmer-Labor party declares as its pun
pose to end the existing system of exploitation
and the rule of the privileged class. 1t calls upo
all organizations of workers, whether in the II
/ dustries or on the land to make common caus
with it; join it In the struggle to free the II
dustrial workers and farmers from the greedy e,
ploitation if those who now rule the country an
win for themselves the right 10 'life liberty an
happiness" thru the establishment of q worker
and farmers government
