0MACDONALD!"

6MACDONALD!"
H1 The speaker who was displaying his wares
before crowd at one of the street corners of
New York was taken abaCk. He was holding
forth about the promises the socialist plat
form is offering to the unemployed worker
in the audience loudly mentioned that name,
Macdonald"
That meant lot. For it is known how gem
erous Macdonald was with his promises for the
unemployed a year ago while campaigning for
office 1t is equally known that the army Of
unemployed in Great Britain has doubled since
Macdonald has entered office, and that the CON
ditions of the unemployed as we'll as of the
employed workers have become worse.
The speaker was trying vainly to explain
away MacDonald'S predicaments, but it was Of
no avail. The same heckler kept reminding the
speaker Of how the socialists" in Germany have
dubbed the workers, and of how in that country
the army of unemployed has constantly been
growing and the relief for the unemployed con-
stantly reduced and nullified. so that now in
the constitution and explain same satisfactory
to the register" This is used as means of
DISTINGUISHING the Negro workers, because as a
rule the register is never Satisfied" In Win
ston-Saem, out of a Negro population of 10000
only two or three hundred Negroes vote In

Capitalist Candidates and Their Issues in the
Election Campaign.
The candidates of the two leading parties are
Bailey and Buwinkle for the democrats and
Pritchard and Jonas for the republicans. Bailey
is big corporation lawyer and a faithful serv-
ant of the large textile power and banking in
terest Bulwinke's record as the watchdog of
the manufacturers Co. the mob leader and
murderer of Ella May, is known not only to the
workers of North Carolina, but to the workers
of the entire South Pritchard and Jonas are
both well-to-do lawyers and the only thing that
they can boast about is that they were born
and raised in the state of North Carolina.
The platforms of both parties don't raise one
single issue that has anything to do with the
conditions and needs of the workers, of course.
1t happens so that the unemployed workers Of
this state are not even offered light wine or
DO as rer dy unemployment, because
both parties are dry The republican platform
has as one of its important planks Courtesy and
hepfuness to all North Carolinans having
business to transact in Washington and need
ing the personal services attention of their
United States Senator"
Workers Rally Around the Program of the
Communist Party.
The class conscious workers of North Carolina
have gone through number OF experiences and
economic struggles for the past two years. This
experience has taught them that they have
nothing in common with the parties of the
Bulwinkles and Hoovers The Communist Party
campaign in spite Of its many weaknesses
which will be taken up at some other time, has
been brought before thousands of workers in
the state Many workers and farmers and also
working women who never voted in their life
before, voted Straight for capitalist par
ties, are now registering and preparing to vote
Communist.
Our struggle for the organization of the un-
organized workers in the textile industry the
fight against the A. F. Of L. fascists, open fights
with the police, has definitely convinced thou
sands Of workers that our party is their party
and that our program is the program Of the
class struggle. Thousands of Negro workers
who would have voted for our Party have been
refused the privilege to register but this has not
discouraged Them on the contrary has crystal
lized their hatred into class hatred. The anti
lynching conference which will be held soon will
take steps to continue and broaden the struggle
for the right of the Negro workers for social
and political equality
The vote of the Communist Party may not be
counted as some rumors already signify, but this
will not stop the development and continuation
OF the struggle of the workers under the lead
ership Of the revolutionary unions and the Com
munist Party
