Campaign Notes
By PAUL N0NICk.

hLL'S quiet on the Tamnany front, with the
- exception of some minor affairs of Messres
Ewald, Healy, Walker, ct al, in addition to
some affairs Of Connolly, Sealy, Vitale, in ad-
diton to some affairs OF Mancuso Cooley,
Walsh, Hennessey, in addition to-etc., etc.
How did Martin ]. Hsaly, Tammany leader
and Deputy Commissioner of Plans and Struc-
lures in Mr.. Walkers administration manage to
deposit $4,000 in the last three years at an
annual salary of 'only" $1,000? Well, this
may be an arithmetical problem bat politically,
we thought, it was solved long ago. Somehow,
the bank account of almost every capitalist
office holder happens to be out of proportion
with his salary 1t is the same as with the
labor takers whether purely" A. F. of L.
or "socialist'-A. F. of L.. Somehow tho ac-
counts of these takers is always far ahead of
their Legitimate" income.
The democrats have answered the republican
attacks on Tammany with series of articles
by former prohibition administrator of New
York Major Maurice Campbell, who involves
the republican machines in New York and
Washington as well as the republican admin
istraton (Which is the same) in number of
sensational prohibition scandals. The "best
poker player in Washington" y President
Curtis is supposed to have used his influence,
while senator, in order to get an alcohol permit
for Certain party. Mr. Lowman, assistant
to the secretary Of the treasury Che same
gentleman who, had stopped the import of SO.
Wet pulp-wood), is supposed to have instructed
Campbell during the 1923 campaign to "oosen
up" so that "the voters Of New York should
have beer to sooth their parched throats."
Etc, etc.
Now the democrats need onlv answer the
Socialists" with series of discoveries" of
graft and corruption in the company unions in
the needle trades and in other trades led by
socialists" and we will have then little truth
about each of the three CAPITALIST parties And
while these parties are fightino about "hon-.
esty," the crooks will get into office, as usual,
because there cannot be any honesty in a sys-
tenn of crookedness.
II Mayor Walker gets $4,000 year in
"hopest graft why should a Healy be satisfied
with $1,000? If a "socalst" editor like Abe
Cahan gets S400 week when hundreds of
workers are starving, and if Morris Hillqut can
specuate en- Wall Street ard live Ike million
aire why Should socialist" la%or faer be
satisfied with measly 500? If exploiters
can get rich by robbing the workers why
shouldn't the servants of the eXploters do a
little robbng?
But the hero Of the hour HAYWOOD BrOun,
is not satisfied with Hoovers attitude towards
|. the unemployment situation. Broun has a bet.
ter attitude. After March 6. Hoover predicted
prosperity in sixty days and made fool Of
himself. while Broun predicted prosnerty in
nj ,ety days and-made socialist of himself,
Broun's "Give Job Till June" had the same
end in view as Hoovers prophecy. 1t meant.
| in June there will be prosperity. Therefore.
| do not organize, keen COOL in ninety DAYS it
| will be over. Ninety days instead of sixty.
| Broun asks for national thinking in order
TO solve the unemployment problem. And it is
campaign platforms have been sold to date.
Our objective is to sell fifty thousand before
| the close of the campaign.
Our drive for the campaign fund has not
reached the proper momentum. The various
unions, mass organizations and Communist
| Party sections must take up the financial prob
J lem and raise fund for struggle.
The election cam"aign must become real
