Central Committee Addresses Letter
To EVery Member on How to Recruit

ness our own lack of efforts wrong and bad
methods of work that responsible for this decline,
for the failure to forward But have repeated this
very often And yet the problem is not solved We have
already discussed the basic weaknesses of the work of
the Party; have suggested certain solutions for the
improvement of work among the Masses for the i'm
provement of the work of the Party nuclei and the
tons But there is point to which did not yet
give sufficient consideration although this of the
central points raised in the Open Letter to the Party
bershp-namely the question of establishing personal
contacts with the the development of the initiative
of the Party membership the acvization of the Party
membership.
Now let us ask you question If the Party called
upon you to perform important Party work and you
needed assistance could you draw around you five
Party workers. sympathzers who would aid you in your
work? If you cannot satisfactorily this question
to yourself then you not yet fulfilling the most ee-
mentary duty of Party member to become leader
among the masses. Some could lead more less,
but surely every Party member must aim to become
leader of workers whom he influence draw into
activity, etc. For after ALL the tasks which confront
cannot be carried through only by Party members These
tasks, which increase, be carried through only by
constantly drawing into activity nonParty workers
always aiming to recruit the best the most advanced into
the Party and again further increase the activity of the
masses.

The Masses Are Ready for Us

To what attribute this Decline the failure
to ahead towards the goal set by the convention?
Can it be result of the essenng of the interest of the
masses in Communism Can be the result of less favor
able conditions for work than in the past? Not much
argument is necessary these questions We sure
that without moments hesitation you will agree with
US even on the basis of your experience that the
receptive to message than ever be-
FORE that the conditions for the growth of the Party
have than multiplied All we need is but think of
the great and heroic strike struggles of the last period
strikes like the recent textile strike of half million
workers. the historic general strike in San Francisco the
Toledo, Minneapolis and Milwaukee struggles, to come
to the conclusion that the so ready for
our message today the conditions for our
work more favorable.
Such conclusion however, also forces the answer to
the question to the for the considerable weaken

sent the thugs, troops and police
against the strikers, the raids on
workers halls took place, and the
wave Of resentment throughout the
State following these acts was ire
mendous Overnight, Sinclair's can
didacy took on serious proportions.
The accumulated discomfort of years
burst-tragically into the harmless
safety valve provided by the capt.
talist class.
Consider for example the long
shoremen's union in San Francisco.
Here the Communist influence was
strong, yet the overwhelming num-
Der of longshoremen in the few
days following these battles, went
down to re-register as democrats
SO they could vote for Sinclair. The
men did not bother to examine the
details Of Sinclair's platform or the
implications involved in his nomi-
nation or election. They were mo-
tiyated by only one thing, the de-
termination to get rid of Merriam
as demonstration against his &C
tons. The whole Merriam machine
has smelled badly for years. 1t has
taken over the tradition of Rolph.
The bulk of the people of the state
were sick of the reactionary pro-
lynch statements of Rolph, the ter
ror in the agricultural fields where
workers were murdered for strik-
ing against rs cents to SIPS per
day wage scale, etc. They were re-
sentful of the sales tax which was
the product Of the Rolph- Merriam
administration. Even within the
Republican Party there is feeling
that Merriam can't meet the pres
ent situation for them.
Haight, styling himself as Pro-
gressive Republican candidate for
governor, has entered the race and
will undoubtedly split tens of thou
sands of votes away from Merriam.
At present outlook, unless any
startling changes occur. the posi-
bility of Sinclair's election is very
strong.
The Menace OF Sinclair
What difference would Sinclairs
election make for the revolutionary
working-class movement? The hun
dreds of thousands of workers and
poor farmers who are voting for
Sinclair have the idea that they
are voting for some sort of a
radical" even mild Communist"
When Sinclair gets elected and the
failure of his demagogic program
and phraseology becomes evident,
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-10-06

ciety. From all over the country
huge contributions to Sinclair are
being received from these elements.
The Utopian Society
This last group Is undoubtedly the
most demagogic of all. Before an
applicant becomes a member of the
Utopian Society, he goes through
five cycles" The first and second
cycles are really dialogues in Greek
drama form performed by Holly
wood actors and witnessed by the
applicants. These show the bank
ruptcy of the industrialist, landlord,
merchant, banker, and in fact, the
entire system. The third and
fourth cycles outline the Utopian
program to the new applicant. This
approximates the Utopia of Edward
Bellamy in Looking Backward" 1t
also tells the applicant that Utopia
can be achieved by an expression
of will" and without any violence
or political agitation. They are ex-
tremely vague on this point, except
ing that they specifically speak
against the need for doing anything
at all except expressing their will
by paying So for membership fees.
The fifth cycle is a secret initiation
of the applicant into the society,
where he is given his organizational
instructions of what is to be ex-
pected of him. In fact. however,
the entire content of the fifth cycle
is nothing but an effort to mobi-
lie the new applicant to get more
applicants at So apiece The whole
atmosphere created is that their
program is for abolishing capitalism
in favor of Utopia. Before people
enter the Shrine Auditorium, which
is their meeting hall, they are faced
with a huge picture of Upton SIN
clair. This entire Utopian move
ment is part of the Upton Sinclair
agitation.
SincIair-A Safety Fuse
What has made the Sinclair
movement possible? 1t can be said
without any doubt at all that prior
to the period of the end of May,
1884. when the fierce. armed attacks
on the maritime workers came, and
later the general strike itself, that
the Sinclair candidacy was regarded
as a publicity campaign for his
books. Few took it seriously. Creel,
Sinclair's opponent, had the noni-
nation fairly we'll secured. Then

Dear Conrade:
October, 1884.

Dear Comrade:
The Central Committee of the Party addresses this
letter to you personally in the hope that you will read it
most carefully and help solve of the most burning
problems confronting the Party at the present time;
problem which will largely determine the ability of the
Party to stand at the head of the rapidly developing
nomc and political struggles of the Masses the problem
of the growth of the Party membership.
The problem of the Growth Of the Party is concerned
with both the numerical growth of the Party and the
quality of the Party membership that is to strengthen
the Party in the first place among the workers in the
large factories and trade unions in the basic industries
of STEEL mining marine railroad auto textile, ETC. Closely
connected with the growth of the Party membership and
the quality of this membership is the problem of the
tremendous fluctuation unover of the Party member
ship
Let consider important facts For many
years. including the first years of the crisis the member
ship of Party stood around the figure of ten thou
sand. Finally, through serious effort than
doubled membership in the last two years. that
at the time of the last convention had close $4,000
members in good standing The convention decided that
set the goal of 10000 members in good standing by
the end of the year. It is than five months
since the convention. What is the situation? 1t is indeed
most serious. Our membership today, far as dues
payments go land for the present it is the most reliable
measurement have is little less than at the
time of the convention 1t is clear that at this rate
shall not reach the goal set by the convention On the
contrary unless the is changed face the danger
of further decline Surely you will agree with us that
here have problem which must receive the attention
of every Party leading committee and of every Party
member.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-10-06

those disillusioned people who voted
for Sinclair might become fertile
ground for the fascist reaction
against militant working class ac-
tivity. The success of the capital
ist class line in the use Of a type
like Sinclair in California at the
polls on Nov. s will undoubtedly
have national influence on events.
The Sinclair candidacy and cam
paign, therefore, constitutes the
most immediate and main danger
to the interests of the working
class and revolutionary movement.
1t represents the up to now largely
successful efforts of the capitalist
class to turn the leftward move
ment of the masses into safe chan
nels for itself.
The Communist Party is waging
an energetic campaign against this
movement with every resource at
its disposal, and under the great
difficulties imposed upon our Party
because of the terror, which is now
raging in California. At the pres
ent time in at least two. some
times three, radio broadcasts a
week, in hundreds of thousands of
leaflets distributed each week. in
letters sent directly to $4,000 vot-
ers, in mass meetings, in the
Western Worker" etc. our Party
has brought the Communist pro-
gram before the masses.
Turn Sentiment Into Action
Throughout the state great
friendliness is shown to us every
where. Our speakers are we'll re-
ceived. On the Red Sundays. when
our comrades go from house to
house. they report widespread in
terest and welcome to their visit.
The unprecedented vote for an out
spoken and well-advertised Com
munist against whom Sinclair
made msny speeches., in the case
of Leo Gallagher, who got 205 078
votes. all indicate the friendliness
of the masses to our Party. In the
anxiety of the masses to get rid
of Merriam. the danger is, however,
that the greatest part of this vote.
despite everything the Party can
DO, will go to Sinclair.
The Socialist Party
The Socialist Party, in previous
years in California, polled a con-
siderable vote. In the last state
elections. the socialist vote was
over 10000 Even that vote repre-
sented considerable come-d down
from the height of socialist strength.
