BedfelIoWs, But Not So
Strange

T. i ro+ only hannening in Sheridan county, it has
occurred larger scale before ana VIII happen aga
certain elements are expelled from the Communist
Party.
+onare who not only against the party to Which they
belonged but who turn also against the enre WORKING Glass;
lining up under some preense the other with the ruling
class with those people whose economic interest forces he
to try to keep farmers and workers down.
Sometimes is done for personal gains at other times
out of pure malice.
The renegades of Communism in Sheridan county, the
Wankes BoudS Galaghers and Sasburys have now OIL
cav announced that they launching special ticket IN
the general election They call it United Front Ticket and
leave it open every to what kind OF united
front This is going to be- Their advertisement in county
papers is signed by Emil Moe of Archer and it is supposed
to be the Holiday Association that is sponsoring this enter
prise However Holiday Association members nave not oeen
asked whether they want to become political party under
the leadership of expelled Communists.
Since the Producers News is always advocating united
front of struggle between different farmers and workers
organizations the purpose of defending the rights Oh
farmers and workers. for getting relief etc. we are deeply
interested anything that is being called united front we
don't like to guess and therefore ask what kind of United
Front" this ticket is going to be?
No explanation has been offered by the officials of the
Holiday Association Members of the association have
spoken to- absolutely ignorant of the matter Drawing
conclusion must state that this ticket that
being offered the voters of Sheridan county, united
front between of opporunsts and racketeers and
Mainstreet
This statement is not so broad as may look at the
first glance What the purpose of the United Front
Ticket" and who is benefitting by it?
The politicians of Sheridan county, the Fusion demo-
Gratis (another united front with nobody and the repub
licans in kind of bad fix Mr.. Folks united front
against Communism did not work out well far. These
gentlemen realizing perfectly well that the Communist
Party is the strongest individual party in the county In
order not to lose the election the politicians have to do
thing to split the votes the Communists might get.
Two years ago they tried the Liberty party and it
worked Manstreet probably would have received licking
nspte of their fusion it would not have been for the Lib
erty party Although they need this fake party much
this year, they dare not it forward again because
the farmers know well that this wonderful party dis
appeared the election over as as il
had fulfilled its purpose
So this Mainstreet has stunt to offer. They
dnt import party but they try create right here
in the county, We do have the least doubt that the poll
canS and certain reactonary businessmen going
for this effort Even it is little COSTLY under thu
law every ticket has to pay filing fees the money
will be there when goes certain privileges potca
influence graft whatever it is And also these people
pay who tremendously afraid of Communism which
is something terrible to them
Since there is not ghost of a chance for Mr.. Wanke
other United Front candidate to get into office tn
effort that being announced in the advertising columns
beneng only Mainstreet politicias and maybe there
also some money in it for the promoters.
This the question perfectly. And if some
and file Holiday members who backing this proposition
have different explanation shall be glad to give spaC
In columns
We shall not call the described effort selout befor
are able to give proof that money-and how much
going to be paid for it.
By the way it that the other enterprise Gale
"sThe Militant Farmer got stuck somehow One month hs
passed and second issue of the has appeared Som
people trying to locate the business office of the
in Minneapolis and unable to find it.
We should be sorry if Mr.. LANCER Mr. Olson, COVE
of North Dakota and Minnesota who received SO muC
favorable mention In the first ISSUE did come across
