Every Communist Vote Is Blow Against Fascism

Some farmers ARGUE that the four Communist candi-
dates nominated the state ticket have no chance oil 6ee
elected and that therefore is of to vote for them
They were going vote for Wheeler other pro
gressve' the 'lesser evil.
When we argued the point here in the office they were
soon convinced differently The Communist vote is not only
vote to get certain candidates into office but 1t Is also
vote of protest It protest against system that has
become utterly insane and inhuman In this protest every
vote counts The votes for Communism the greater
and stronger the protest against the present system
And the votes the Communist party can rally all
over Montana much liberal policy be enforce
from the capitalist state officials The radical vote i'll the
state the militant organizations of the workers and farm
ers the only forces that will compel state and federal
governments to with certain concessions TO
with relief old pensions unemployment IN
surance etc. This force brings about socaed liberal poll
cies and so-called progressive politicians.
But this development takes place only up to certain
point AS the radical the Communist vote increases
to certain extent the militant organizations
gain ground sufficiently enough to constitute direct dan
ger the present SYSTEM then the powers to be- the ru
ing class, will throw away the mask of democracy will
do away with Wheeler and other progressive politicians
and the mailed fist fascism will be the ruling method for
the protection of profits and special privileges.
This is exactly what happened in Germany and other
countries Democracy only existed for long it did not
threaten profits then faScsm introduced And that
will happen in the United States farmers and workers
not prepared.
Preparation means that we do not let ourselves be
fooled about the role of the prOgressves that vote
Communist and that strengthen and broaden the mit
ant organizations and the Communist party Only by gath
eng greater strength than fascsm muster pre-
vent the establishment of open fascist rule
vote for the Communist candidates, although they
may not be elected, is vote against fascism!
Every straight Communist vote is blow against the
bondages of money rule
And the argument not to for candidates because
they have chance Of being elected although admittedly
they the best they are certainly wrong However
increase strength if who know that these
candidates the BEST the only who will fight
the rights of farmers and workers. when these will
not vote for them because at present the chances are

The two workers who are charg-
ed with "intent to kill' had moth
ing to do with the beating up Of
deputy who was injured during
the strike. In fact, warrants were
sworn out for these workers three
weeks after the strike was over
and at the hearing scabbing truck

order to railroad these militant

They Want to be
Nice Now
By HANS RASMUSSEN

All through this political cam
paign The Plentywood Herald has
been begging everybody to be nice
and polite to one another, and the
Herald has good reason for max
ing this appeal.
Harry Folks past has been ex-
posed before, and it is not a very
nlce one, but we will be nice about
1t and not do it again at this
time. The surprising part is that
politicians and office seekers have
picked him as their leader and
standard bearer, and that is NOT
to the credit of anyone running on
the Harry Polk standard
In Havre he did not last very
long, but here in Sheridan county
1t is different. Lump sums of
money are handed out to him ev-
cry month by those he helped IN
elect into office, and more is ex-
pected if he can do it again. And
wnat has Harry Polk and his bunch
IN office ever done for the on
pressed people in the county? None
Oh them have ever taken part in
a relief demonstration unless thew
were forced to come. Il don;t
seem to enter their minds that #
is part of their duty to see that
people in the county get some
tnlng to eat and wear When
sheriff Madsen and his deputies
met the farmers with loaded guns
neither Polk nor anybody in the
courthouse had any complaints 70
make. The deputies were Maid
without protest.

lef situation is getting worse r;ob+

from Is to 20 per cent below nor
NAL, and the supply of pork will
be cut almost so per cent. Be-
cause there will not be enough of
these standard items of diet, we
are now told to Change our food
habits" without waiting for "edu-
cation"
Turning back to the farmer, the
USDA tells US through a sum-
mary of drought conditions, that
farmers must also change the food
habits of the livestock mighty
quick. In fact, we must begin ra-
tioning the critters right now or
there just won't be any feed left
by spring. Even so, this winter
and coming spring there is an in
dicated shortage of three million
tons of feed grains, and 100000
tons of hay and other roughage
in our domestic supply. And fur
Their on. this warning: "The re-
turns on a special survey indicate
that many farmers and stockmen
are not yet fully aware of the sit
uation confronting them and that
considerable REIMBURSEMENT in their
plans is required" And also:
"Needs, based upon a fairly aver
age winter, as are those shown III
this report, would be inadequate
for hard winter" And that, Mr..
Sodbuster, is a polite way of tell
ing you that you had better slaugh-
ter some more stock, pare down
your business some more, and pray
for a mild winter, and if you don't
get it, it will be just too bad.
Perhaps we aren't fully aware
of the situation" that confronts us.
The writer certainly wasn't until
they took his farm. But who is
to blame? The gentlemen of the
AAA pumped the press full of base
less optimism. They denied the
danger Of shortages and promised
full relief and fair distribution.
Now they decide that farmers who
believed them are not "fully aware
of the situation"
Farmers who have fed cattle all
their lives and estimated how many
head their mows and bins will
carry are certainly aware of the
situation if their bins are empty
or their grain patwned and sealed
up in a crib. .
They are fully aware of dry
wells and rains that come too late
which are now washing away what
soil the hot winds left behind
Farmers don't need any AAA re.
leases to remind them of past due
bills, mortgages, rents and delin.
quent taxes.
This November is just about the
right time to make the AAA anc
the windjammers up on Capito
Hill politically conscious of a mil.
liant farm revolt. The Organizes
militancy of farmers stopped evic
lions and forced sales. Let's ge-
together at the ballot box! Re
peal the AAA and vote for tn,
Farmers Emergency Relief Bill!
