identical platforms and have NOM
mated two capitalist exploiters Of
labor as their candidates-Moore
and Baird.
In their attempt to befuddle the
workers, both charge each other
with representing invisible govern
ment''-the government of bootleg
gers, gangsters and racketeers-the
truth being that both represent the
dictatorship of finance capital
Both candidates and platforms
raise the fake issues of booze as
their central plank and both stand
for lower taxes for the landowners
and capitalists.
