THESE DAYS

IN NEW YORK state, an I'M
L holy device has been evolved
which permits a candidate for
public office to run on the tick
cts of many political parties.
Thus. Vito Marcantonio~ ran
for Congress as a candidate Of
the Republican, Democratic and
American Labor Party.
The electors in his district
were left without choice as
though they were voting in a
Nazi election.
Because of this undemocratic
method, two minority parties,
the American Labor Party and
the Liberal Party, are becoming
increasingly important as New
Workers approach the next elec-
ton which is for mayor.
The present incumbent in
that office is equally unpopular
with the rank and file of all
parties but if he can maneuver
any two of them into endorsing
him. there is no question but
that he will be nominated and
possibly elected.
His best chance is that the
American Labor Party which Is
an arm Of American Commun-
ism. may choose him.
Then start the deals and
trades, those fantastic vagaries
of New York where men are
not nominated for their abilities
but TO maintain a balance be-
tween Catholics, Protestants
and Jews including such subdi-
visions as Irish Catholics and
Italian Catholics. Kosher Jews
and Park avenue swells. And
no balance can be complete
