Relief is the primary issue
concerning farmers and work.
ers at the present" states the
Communist Party, and Com
munist candidates recognize
as their first and most dis
tinguished task to secure
work and cash relief for
needy farmers and workers.
THE past record of the
Communist Party shows that
Communist candidates are
opposed to foreclosures and
evictions and that Commu-
nists have always been in the
front ranks in Sheridan coun-
ty as well as in other parts of
the country when farmers
ana workers were defending
their interests against the at
tacks of bankers and the
monopoly capitalists or their
agents" tn e Communists
state.
"An other parties, groups and
individuals have made promises in
the past. None have been fulfilled.
On the contrary, it has become evil
dent that the conditions of poor
farmers and workers have become
worse.
1t is election time and again we
hear promises. Two years ago we
were sure that Hoover and the
Republicans wouldn't do the trick.
we voted Democrat and .RooseveIt's
"New Deal" This deal turned out
to be rather raw and the forgot
ten man" the poor farmer and
worker, is finding himself in 2
worse condition than 1892.
There is no new, deal under
capi. alism," the Communist Party
states. Farmers and worker,
are tired Of gambling any .longe
for home and livelihood; the card,
are always stacked against US.
VOte against all promises of
more New Deals!
