Communist Vote

NEW YORK.-While Thursdays
fight between the forces of Fusion
and Tammany over the nomination
for comptroller. characterized by an
unusually small voting turnout, was
taking place, election officials of
both groups united in efforts to pre-
vent any real expression of working
class will at the polls.
Carl Brodsky, state election cam
paign manager of the Communist
Party, reported thai his office re-
Ceived more than 80 telephone calls
from Communist voters who said
they we're not able to vote either
because their registered designation
had been falsely changed because
there were not Communist ballots
available at the polling places, or
because they were refused permits
sion to vote outright No complete
tabulation of the Communist pri-
mary vote was obtainable yesterday
Communist Ballots Lacking
Brodsky's office received repeated
calls from the 10Th election district
of the 14th A. D. in Kings County,
informing him that no ballots were
available. The same thing was true,
he said, in the polling place at the
Hotel Alcock, 72nd st. and Broad
way. Dora Hyatt, 259 Third Ave,
an enrolled Communist voter, could
not vote because her registration
was changed to that of Democrat.
Lazarus Schwartz, $40 E. 180th
ST., was also denied the right to
vote as a Communist in the polling
place at $40 East 180th st. as was
an unidentified woman who entered
the place with Lazarus.
The primary elections of Repub-
lican and Democratic Parties showed
Fusion continuing to drive a wedge
in Tammany ranks on the strength
of its ability to give an air of ire
spectability" to its prevail Street,
anti-working class policies.
On the Democratic ticket Nc
Goldrick polled ITO, 1893 votes against
Taylor's 26S,841. McGoldrick, run
ming in the Republican primary as
well, polled 68,795 votes to win the
Republican nomination.
c. P. Issues Statement
The New York District of the
Communist Party yesterday issued
the following statement in connec-
ton with the primaries:
THE primary voting yesterday
showed a concentration drive on the
part of the Republican Party, sup
porting Fusion, and of certain sec
tons of Tammany for McGoldrick,
the silk-stocking Brain Trust can
didate of the La Guardia- Fusion
machine. The special Importance
placed by the capitalist parties on
the race for the comptrollership re-
veals the growing grip on the city
government of the Chase National
and the National City Banks and of
all the forces of finance capital re-
sponsible for the Infamous bank
ers agreement" the statement said.
THE slogan, keep Tammany out
of the city treasury is merely
smoke screen to hide the fact that
the bankers are tying up completely
the resources of the city to assure
themselves of collecting their $780,
100000 of annual payments on the
bonds they hold" the statement
continued.
THE answer to the Fusion pro-
gram of keeping Tammany out of
the treasury in favor of the bank
ers, the answer to the efforts of
both parties to nullify the rights of
workers to vote for real working
class program must be an over
whelmingly heavy Communist vote
In November. The slogan Vote
Communist must be carried into
action" the statement concluded.
