The Third Party Danger

The twO-party system, that has been used time and
again Tor deudng and tcng the broad of people,
is breaking away The democratic landslide Nov has
shown this clearly The vote for the New Deal" is dis

demand by turning the ms out and the outs" in The
result OF the Nov election shows they have broken
away from this practice They expect the change the
better to come from Roosevelt and the democrats
In the Roosevelt administration been held out to the
results here in Sheridan county, with the top democratic
candidate polling 1900 and the republican $40 What
else does this but that the voters have lost complete
confidence in one of the old parties?
The other old party Mr. Roosevelts has made the most
radical promises Wheeler and his colleagues have promised
old pensions and kind of unemployment insurance
and in fact heaven earth So-caed socialist tendencies
IN the Roosevelt administration have been held out by the
masses as 6at That SO many millions have been falling
for this radical bait certainly indicates that decisive
e1tward trend is taking place This trend further evil

and candidates. such LaFOete Wisconsin, Sinclair in

All these votes directed, mistakenly it true but
nevertheless seriously against the policies the Wall Street
monOpoles the experience them every day in
their struggle for bread and security
Roosevelt will have tough job trying to live up to
his promises But these promises empty Roosevelt
and his democratic administration bound to fail because
they cannot restore the purchasing power of the
nor are they able to create otherwise markets extern
V enough to absorb the enormous quantities of goods this
highly developed country produce
What then is going to happen? Things are moving
last and will not take the people very long to discover
that they have been rcked and fooled Their disappon
ment will be terrible, and since many millions voted again
Tor the New DEAL there will be than few who
will be enranged.
Most likely they will not turn back to the republican
party the present defeat of the COP means anything
Where are they to turn?
1t would be just too bad for Wall Street friends if
they should turn Communist and the rulers of this country
know that too we'll Other channels are being provided to
receive the wrath and indignation of the masses when thew
discover that Roosevelt has not been their Messiah
Already there is much talk about the hrd party move

the thing to keep on fOong the people with more promises
inns party may take the character of Farmerabor party
or it be called Progressive party or even the So
cast party be used for that purpose like it was used
In Germany to advance Hindenburg and Hitler
And If the third party movement seems without hone
1or the big monoposs they may simply resort to fascism
With these prospects in store Communists can drawn
put one conclusion: to their energies the fullest e

each an ever greater number of people, expose to
Che effectively the fake of the reormsts and
convince them that the only way out of all the misery
the way shown by the Russian farmers and workers the
smashing OF capitalism and the establishment of Socialist
Soviet Republic.
The third party movement can and must be defeated
