times groups of capitalists donating equally ana
simultaneously to Republican and Democratic pol
iticians in order to gain special favors no matter
which political jockey passes the winning post IN
the lead The Democratic party under wilson
dragooned the young manhood of this country IN
TO the world war in the interests of the money
lenders and industrialists which the workers and
farmers are paying for now. The Republican party
under the Harding, Coolidge and Hoover admin
;strations supervised the plumber of the masses D.
the brigands of industry and finance, continued

CARNATIONS of labor The unhOly alliance between
the leaders of organized labor and farmers organi-
cations with the two parties of Wall Street Is one
of the main obstacles standing in the way of the
taking over of the function of government by the
people.
The so-called progressives in the Republican and
Democratic parties are playing the role of train
ed rams" who lead the working class sheep into
the shambes of the capitalist parties. Such men
as Wheeler, LaFollette, Blaine, LaGuardia, Norris,
Borah and their iIk, while playing to the proletar
ian gallery are effectively the worst enemies of
the masses, because they delude them into the be-
lief that the capitalist system is basically sound;
that the thing to do is TO elect "good' men to
office on the Republican and Democratic tickets.
This pernicious theory-promalgated by the Nom
partisan League must be eradicated from the
minds of the masses and they must be convinced
that no man no matter how good can help find
solution for the problems of industrial and agri-
cultural labor thru the medium Of political ma
chimes owned and controlled by the enemies of the
people. The exploited masses must learn 30 re-
gard all those who contend that basic solution
for their problems can be found thru the medium
Of the two capitalist parties, 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
ly, high tariff low tariff, they assure them
selves of a full dinner pail. The fact is that the
tariff is 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
modities- This controversy does not concern the
producing classes. 1t is only one of the many fred
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 30 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 10 carry
on such struggle. It declares its purpose to take
the government in the interests of all the ex-
plotted who work with hand and brain in industry
and Hr aims TO Du1fu a socraa sys-
tenn which will secure for the masses a higher
standard of living and which will have as its
first object their happiness and well being.
The Farmer-Labor party declares as its pur-
pose to end the existing system of exploitation
and the rule of the privileged class 1t calls upon
all organizations of workers, whether in the in
dustries or on the land to make common cause
with it; to join it in the struggle TO free the in
dustrial workers and farmers from the greedy ex-
ploitation if those who now rule the country and
win for themselves the right 10 'life, liberty and
happiness thru the establishment of a workers
and farmers government
