Mainstreet's Brain Trust Worried

Mainstreet's Brain Trust Worried
The publisher of the Plentywood Herald getting some
what worried over the possibility of losing the county print
mo contract with the coming elections If he loses that con-
tract losing Of the main arteries that keep MIN
alive No wonder he is fighting.
Mr. Polk using the Communist tlckeC DIS whip oVeI
Toe Doin and the Republican party If you don't come my
way the county goes red, he is Threatening. If
We don't know whether this threat is soaring Don very

gets his way if the Polk ticket wins the election
And further this county has always been republican
county and so far know the Roosevelt program has
left such favorable impression in Sheridan county 70
make it democratic stronghold nspte OF his consistent
smile the Presidents popularity that was based on ignorance
and nexperience wanning fast Franklin Deano Roose
welt is continuing the starvation program OF the Hoover
regime, ia fact, he is increasing it's severity.
Strike after strike wave is spreading over the
country farmers grow restless and ebeous and
They know that their wages being CUT they know that
they cannot get decent price for their produce they know
Roosevelt nor his Brain Trust nor Mr. Polk can answer this
question because the u S. is the richest country earth
we nave the factories the raw materials and all the labor
There is no need for misery and starvation.
If the Democrats in this county do not realize these
facts they may easily experience similar disappointment
experienced by the Governor of Pennsylvania Mr. Pin
chot for U.S. Senator Roosevelt program against
Republican and received SOUND licking
We have noticed to our surprise that the Plentywood
Herald is becoming intelligent in it's attacks the
Communist Party There less slanderous remarks Mr.
Folks editorials fewer Misrepresentation and more facts
OF his paper not that believe that this policy will con-
nue for very long but at least it shows that the Herald is
able to attack an enemy with facts
It is only too bad that the interpretations and concu-
sOns the Herald draws from the facts prints are in
correct We would suggest that its editor study little
Political Science and Economics
The editor of the Herald states current issue that
the Communist Party has increased in membership through
out the United States during the last three years only
and that the Party has "a 500 members That fact
And regret together with Earl Browder the Secretary
PARTY hat thic boo0
fragile The Herald editor bames this fact and the adj
mted tuctuaon in membership of the Communist Party
on the leadership of the G. P.
what tribute to Communist leadership" he states
ironically.
The editor from Mainstreet should study little history
and ne would not be surprised the apparently small
membership of the Communist Party From History he
would learn that the membership of the Party Russia wa
even smaller than the present membership of the G. +
me 81 yet the Party conquered and established
workers and farmers government.
In other words, my dear Mr.. Editor the Communist
Party does not need membership that counts into millions
What this party needs to accomplish it's aims the con
hdence OF the broad masses of workers and farmers Whe
farmers and workers learn to recognize the unseshness
and honesty of Communist leadership they will gain conf
dence and follow the lead of the Communist Party
And you know this too well, Mr. Editor. 1t is your tas
and the task of all the other kept capitalist papers to dis
credit and SANDER Communist Party to fool the peop
about the partys integrity if you know what that means
for the only to keep the Communists from gaining tn
confidence of the exploited of farmers and workers
And here is the for the small membership anC
fuctuaon. In order to gain confidence the Comml
mist Party must of necessity be disciplined party It
fight bitter because both classes fighting for thei
highest goods continuation of easy profits is the ambto
Of your class, Mr. Editor, while the Communist Party
fighting for the abolition of the profit system and the
Enlistment of society where there is exploitation
misery and poverty araeea
Now ask any General and he win tell you that in al
such fight disciplined army has the greatest chances
People who will not accept this semi-nitary discp1
cannot become members of the Communist Party Men wi
are after the almighty dollar also not eligible for mer
bership You see Mr.. Editor there wouldn't be place
you. And believe you wouldn't be interested neither
there is money in the Communist party.
Does this explain satisfactory, Mr.. Editor why tn
membership of the Communist Party is small?
Challenge to Intelligence
The Herald suggests program of how to combat Coz
munism We quote Mr.. Folks suggestions to his fello
Manstreeters all over the country:
81. Avoid not only injustice but the appearance of
injustice The Mooney has been powerful aid to
Communism.
co. Avoid violence Never has the art of provoking
police officials been developed to the extent used by
Communists. 1t is irritating to human impulses; but
the best police those who meet such irritatons with
sefrestraint. Communists grow street violence
Their papers are full of accounts of such Incidents
