quiesce to the drum-beat of de-
feat. Swamped by a flood of bond
ed Indebtedness, handicapped by
lack of sources of revenue with
which to liquidate it, deprived of
the majority of industry for its
people, the many have still stayed
on.
1t is to them that rehabilitation
will mean so much, for they are
the deserving; while there are
many who are waiting for an OPP
pOrtunity to do so. 1t is the lure
of the romantic side which at

that indefinable element. So many
times have | heard "you are 1y-

the Old Rock" Perchance there
may be some physical magnetism,
but it is possible that it is not so
easily defined. 1t has not the lazy
atmosphere of the tropics, for [

hard as l have in Key West and
the Florida Keys. In the tropics
the lethargy eventually grips one

saps ones energy. that work be-

the friendly contact. either, for to
be alone, strolling on the beach or
down some lonely street can pro-

of the divine. Then there are the
dreams in which one can easily in

hard-headed business men ask

in the Arcadian land can be said:
"Softly the Angelus sounded. and

like other millions in the country,
that the Roosevelt promises of I'M
employment insurance, better wages
and jobs and the right to organize
would mean something. The county
government was also put into the
hands Of the Democratic machine.
However, the miners and toiling
farmers soon found out that the
Roosevelt promises of better condi-
tions were turned into deeds of open
attack upon the workers living
standards. The action of the county
and state democratic government In
the attack upon the Progressive
pickets in the neighboring Christ
ian-County, shooting of strikers no
less brutally by the Democratic than
the Republican government, was an
eye-opener to many of these miners,
who began to see the class charac-
ter of the whole government. The
miners began to turn to the revo-
lutionary path. On the basis of
exposure OF the Roosevelt N. r. A..
schemes, the first beginnings
Of the Communist Party were
established in the mining CEN
tiers, such as Nakomis, Taylor
Springs, etc. Under the leadership
Of the Communist Party and the
militant elements the workers, in
Guiding the farmers of this county,
began to answer the fake promises
Of the county, State and national
Democratic bosses with organiza-
ton. Unemployment Councils were
organized in practically every town
to fight for relief and clothing for
the unemployed.
Many Follow Militant Path
In the struggles of the unemployed
and on the P. M. A. picket line,
the workers found that the prom
ises Of the Democratic machine in
the county and State were turned
into tear gas and failing. In the
course of the past year and half,
n u m e r Gus demonstrations and
struggles forced considerable con-
cessions from the bosses. United
action Of the unemployed and Pro-
greSSive miners, men and women,
gained increases in relief, abolished

sion in the absence of a speaker.
In the house to house mass cam
paign one is always sure of coming
across some sympathetic worker or
farmer Many of these sympathiz-
ers will gladly permit q house
meeting in their home.
Many of these house meetings
will not be large. But we must
learn that even few workers are
worth talking to. Christ is quoted
as having said: Where two or
three come together in my name
there I will be in their midst" This
is good philosophy for Communists.
Every single one whom we can con-
vince will in turn convince others.
And in carrying on the election
campaign We must not forget those
whom we find to be really inter
ested and sympathetic. They must
not be allowed to fall away from
our influence. They must be con-
tacted Systematically, and their
education in Communism must be
assured. They must be drawn into
the Party.
Every Party Unit should hold a
Unit meeting at once at which
plans for the Unit will be laid for
a house meeting. Work for each
member must be mapped out and
a check-up made of the work done
The work started now must be car
ried on through and after election
so that our election campaign be-
comes a mass recruiting campaign.

C. p. Speakers
Stir Mill Town
In Connecticut
Workers in DanieIson
Hear Candidates on
Party Program

DANIELSON, Conn, Oct. Is
The Communist Party election cam
paign has penetrated this little tex
tile town and nearby Norwich,
stronghold of the chemical indus
try, despite bitter opposition by
mill owners and police.
A highly successful open-air cam
paign rally was held here recently,
attended by many mill workers, who
responded with enthusiasm and
militancy to the Communist cleo
ton program as outlined by three
speakers. The speakers were Bob
King, candidate for Congressman
at-Large; Michael Russo, candidate
for State Treasurer, and Joseph
Jackson, section organizer of the
Communist Party in Eastern Con-
necticut.
The rally was to have been held,
originally, in the hall of the Union
of st. John the Baptist, but the
pressure of local police and Off
Gals of the organization caused
permission for the halls use to be
rescinded, and workers were turned
away when they came to attend the
meeting.
Efforts of police to break up the
meeting were unsuccessful. The
size and militancy of he audience,
however, compelled the police to
abandon their efforts.

Police Arrest
.C.P. Candidate
In Portland
Steward J allied While
Speakin g Against
Fascist Threat

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 25.-When
Earl Steward, member of the Com
munist Party, candidate for Secre-
tary of State as an independent
under the slogan Of Communism
Against Fascism," attempted to
speak at a street meeting called by
the Communist Party at Fourth
and Alder Street, he was arrested
and taken to jail.
Although there were several po-
Icemen present to keep the traffic
lanes open, and in spite of the fact
that the police by their actions
were responsible for the collection
of an unusually large crowd, Stew
ard was charged with disorderly
conduct and blocking traffic. He
was released in less than an hour
on $50 bail, and when he appeared
for trial the next morning the case
was continued indefinitely.
The workers of Portland are
learning that the attempt to outlaw
the Communist Party is also a
direct slap at the right Of any
worker to organize, and they bit
terly resent it. The Communist
Party is exposing this Fascist move
by the city officials, and is calling
another meeting at the same place,
where Steward will again by the
speaker.

stay away; and yet these, too, must
be reached.
Every Party member must be
come a campaigner. Every Party
member cannot get up on ros-
trum and make speech. But every
one Is capable of speech. Everyone
who can talk about the weather,
about the shop, or about farming,
can also talk about the principles
and the program of the Commu-
mist Party. If he or she cannot,
it is merely because the Party
member does not know the prin-
ciples and the program. If that
is the case, it is high time that
such a Party member begins to
acquire the necessary knowledge.
Visit Your Neighbor
All Party members must make
it a practice to visit their neigh
bors, whether the neighbors are
acquaintance or strangers, to talk
about the election, about our pro-
gram and about our candidates.
They can carry with them the Con-
gressional platform of the Party,
the Daily Worker and other liter
allure. We must let the workers
and farmers know what the Com
munist Party is and what Commu-
nism will mean for the workers
and farmers.
1t is possible and necessary to
organize house meetings where
speaking and discussion can be
carried on; or reading and discus

seekers, we are conducting a cam
paign for Communism-educating
organizing and leading the strug-
giles of the workers and farmers.
The election campaign is not
something apart and different from
the year in and year out activities
that Communists must carry on. It
is merely the adaptation of our
everyday tasks to the peculiar con-
ditions offered to us by capitalist
parliamentarism. We would be
blind and foolish if we did not
avail ourselves of this opportunity
to reach new sections of the masses
of workers and farmers. 1t would
be a neglect of our Bolshevist du-
ties if we did not utilize the pre-
election period to expose the pro-
grams of the capitalist parties.
Our objective must be to acquire
Communist fraction in capitalist
parliaments. This is not because
We want to be Office holders, but
in order that we may more effec-
lively carry on our work in behalf
Of the workers and farmers. Con-
sequently the election campaign is
not an individual affair but very
important task of the entire Party.
In order that we shall have a
mass election campaign, it is not
enough, though it is important,
that meetings be arranged at which
the Party candidates will speak

come to these meetings. Some will

BY ALFRED ITALIA
Communist Party Candidate for
u, s. Senate from Minnesota


MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Oct. U.s.
The chairman introduced me:
"Comrade ITALIA, who is running for
United States Senate on the Com
munist Party ticket"
Unconsciously this presentation
expresses a wrong point of view.
1t is the point of view that here
is an individual who of his own
choosing and for himself is run
ming" for political Office, just as
some other individual is running"
on the Republican or on the
Farmer-Labor ticket.
This sort of conception brings
about an aloofness from the cam
paign by most of the members of
the Communist Party. They leave
the campaigning entirely up to the
individuals who are running" for
Office, as though the campaign we're
not the concern of every Party
member.
Before we can have an effective
election campaign this wrong point
of view must be corrected ITALIA
and Dais or any other Communist
is not running for some political
office. We have been chosen by the
Party to be the standard bearers
in the campaign, which is the prin-
cipal campaign of the entire Party
just at this time. Instead of run
