only Communism represents real effective fight against

The vote in the various boroughs
for Foster is as follows:

Waldman Loses Votes.
But the returns show also that the
Socialists are still able TO fool large
numbers of workers, though not
nearly as many as they thought they
would. In many cases in New York,
the Socialist vote actually fell in
comparison with previous votes. For
example in the state as a whole, the
Socialist Waldman, candidate for
governor, got 71,000 votes, approx
mately as against his vote Of $4,000
in round numbers, for the same Of

COMMUNIST GAIN
HUGE IN. CHICAGO
Already Count 9,639;
Got 1000 in 1928

CHICAGO, Ill, Nov 9.-Foster got
9,639 votes, by official figures of the
election board, in 1929 precincts of
Cook County, and with 500 precincts
still to be reported on. Cook County
includes the city of Chicago and sub
urbs.
An indication of the growth of the
Communist influence is seen by the
fact that in 1928, Foster, running for
president on the Communist ticket
then as now, got about ! 900 votes in
Cook County, and 5000 in the whole
state of Illinois. There are as yet no
reports on Communist votes from
the mining region down state for this
election. Incomplete returns give
Claude Lightfoot, young Negro work
er, $3.50 votes for assemblyman, in

Many Votes Stolen
The real Communist vote is much
higher than the vote counted. as
proved by the fact that where Com
munist election watchers were main
tanned at the polls, the Communist
VOte counted was HluCu ilBneT JldH
in precisely similar districts along
side where Communist watchers were
not present, or were driven out by
force early in the day.
Many attempts were made by cap
italist authorities at the polls to drive
Communist watchers away. especially
on the South Side where stock yards
workers live, and where the Negroes
live
The Communist Election Campaign
Committee fought this terrorism, and
later in the day forced the election
board to allow Communist watchers

Cne united SCaCeS. 1T is the
greatest of a whole series oil
victories that have been
achieved by mass protest and mass
mobilization in the United States and
throughout the world ever since the
Communist Party and the Interna-
tional Labor Defense took up the bat
tie for the ScottSboro boys. This
victory is a complete vindication OF
the Communist tactics of making
this case a political case, involving
the broadest masses, and constitutes
the condemnation of the NAA.CP.
and the Socialist Party, which de-
mands that this case be handled en-
tirely in the courts, relying upon the
fairness and justice" of the Ameri-
can judicial system and which de-
clared that an appeal to the masses
would prevent instead of gain a fav-
orable decision. Again in the Scots
boro case has been proven, that only
mass struggle and mass organization
can win even the slight measures of
Justice for the workers, especially
for the Negroes.
In hailing this most significant VIC
tory, the Communist Party especially
warns against any idea that the fight
is over, or that a final victory has
been Gon. Public admission by the
Supreme Court of the United States
that the most elementary rights of
the Scottsboro boys had been denied
to them, is blow against this mon
strous frame-up, but Is not yet its
final defeat. The case has been sent
back for new trial to the same
courts which carried through the
original legal lynching. These courts
have been further forewarned that
to carry out their intended murder OF
the Scottsboro boys, they will have
the support of the Supreme Court OF
the United States, provided that they
do it according to the legal forms
which they deliberately violated, In
the first proceedings.
More than ever, it is the absolute
duty of the workers, white and Ne
gro, to rally solidly to the support OF
the International Labor Defense in
defense of the Scottsboro case. We
must rally the masses in such large
numbers and with such nilitancy and
determination as to render it impos-
sible for them to carry through the

Record in Last
Congress
THOMAS VOTE LOW
Roosevelt Carried Out
Wall St. Policies
BULLETIN

AS the Daily Worker goes to
press, latest returns reveal that out
of total of 2S,847, 024 votes so far
tabulated, Roosevelt received 49,
539,346. Hoover 11,947, 979 and Nor
man Cnomas, socialist candidate,
359,699. Though the total vote is
not yet in, the returns so far indi-
cate that the vote for Thomas is
far below preliminary estimates
and will probably be less than
1000, 900.
Governor Roosevelt captured 40
out of 48 states and 472 out of 531
electoral votes in Tuesdays election
The Roosevelt majority totals about
100000 votes. Incomplete returns
also indicated a clear majority for
the democrats in both houses of
congress.
The victory, while a smashing re-
.pudiation of Hoover, is actually a
victory for Wall Street, which sue
ceeded in fooling millions of Amer
lean workers and poor farmers into
believing that Roosevelt and the
democrats are essentially different
from their republican rivals.
Use Fake Radical Phrases.
But in order to do this Wall Street
had to use extraordinary measures.
Not since the days of Wilson have
the democrats been compelled to re-
sort to such wide use of fake rad
ical phrases in order to lure work
ers into believing that Roosevelt rep
resented something fundamentally
opposed to Hoover and offered some
relief from starvation and mass mis-
cry. But the records of Roosevelt as
governor of New York state and of
the Democratic Party in The last
congress prove conclusively that the
policies of the democrats are the
policies Of Wall Street just as much
as are the republican policies.
Governor Roosevelt has consist
entity opposed and fought against
federal unemployment insurance and
real relief. His appropriation of
500, 100000 for the relief of the I'M
employed in New York state last year
gave the 100000 workers, Who were
iobless in the state at that time, only
$40 apiece for themselves and their
families. even assuming that every
cent Of the 100000 went for &C
tual relief. With the New York
state unemployed now increased to
100000, Roosevelt's sole new pro-
posal is for an appropriation OF $780,
900, 000-about $l2 per unemployed
family. Instead OF federal unem-
ployment insurance, he has tried to
fool the workers with an unemploy-
ment insurance scheme, operating
through each individual employer.
which would roll up big profits for
the insurance companies, take money
out of the pockets of the employed
workers and not give a cent to those
now unemployed.
Attacked Needle Workers.
Roosevelt has played an outstand-
ing anti-labor role in the struggles
of the New York needle trades work
