Saturday, August 16, 1924 WORKERS VOTE ELECTED HIM, CALLES ADMITS Mexico’s New President Addresses A. F. of L. (Special to The Daily Worker) WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.—“I have been selected president of Mexico thru the expressed will of the working class of my country because from the begin- ning of my political campaign I said I would look for help only in the work- ing classes and that I desired that in the political campaign the reactionary elements should remain my enemies and fight my candidacy,” said pres- ident elect of Mexico, General Plutarco Calles, according to the text of his speech to the executive council of the American Federation of Labor which recently meet at Atlantic City. “I said this was necessary because I wanted to know from the beginning where I stood,” continued Calles, “and that the two candidates remain very distinct. On the one side the vindi- cating program of the working classes and on the other the retarding -pro- gram of the reactionaries, The fight began. I have won thru the will of the workers, and my government is due to them and will be helped by them so long as I fulfill my obliga- tions, because the working class of Mexico is waiting and watching what its leaders are doing, and will give help to those authorities that know how to guard the interests of the Mexican workers.” Supported By Communists Calles’ candidacy was supported by the organized communist movement in Mexico, The Communists, while they called upon the workers to vote for Calles, warned them that they would later find that Calles would not be able to solve any of the problems of the working masses and would finally prove traitor to their interests. They called upon the workers to support him, however, because he represented a-class that was engaged in a struggle against the capitalists of Mexico, at the same time-pointing out that only the workers’ revolution would free them from the chains of native and foreign exploiters, American Legion to Back Mobilization Plan of Militarists INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 15.— Whole-hearted co-operation of the American Legion with the war depart- ment and with civic and patriotic or-|: ganizations in the test of the national defense, which is to be made on Sept. 12, is pledged by John R. Quinn, na- tional commander of the Legion. In a letter to Secretary of War John W. Weeks, made public here today, Commander Quinn declared the whole machinery of the Legion will be used to make a success of the test. Price of Bread Goes Up in Italy.

E. RUTHENBERG, Executive Secretary, Workers Party. The Wall Street Candidates. ALL STREET and the Big Capitalists have named their tickets. They are playing safe with two candidates—Colidge on the re- publican party ticket and Davis on the democratic, The capitalists—Morgan, Gary & Co.—want to keep things as they are. They want the industries to be run for their profits. They want to maintain their right to pile up fortunes of hundreds of millions of dollars out of the toil of the workers and farmers. The capitalists want the govern- ment to continue to be the dictator- ship of Wall Street. They want to use the government to loot the coun- try’s natural resources in the Teapot Dome fashion. They want the gov- ernment to fix legislation so that they can roll up more profits, They want to shift the burden of taxation on the backs of the workers and farmers. They want high tariffs for their enrichment. The capitalists want to use the government to protect their invest- ments in other countries. They want a big army and a big navy so that they can fight for the right to exploit other countries. The capitalists want the govern- ment, too, so that they can use it directly against the workers and farmers. They want to fight work- ers and farmers on strike with in- junctions and soldiers. They want to legislate to make the farmers pay high freight rates, high interest and high costs for marketing their goods. That is what the capitalists are fighting for. The Wall Streetstick- ets—Coolidge, republican; Davis, democrat, stand for these things, and that is why the capitalists will fight to elect them. **e* @ The Little Business Men’s Candidate. IG business*has its candidates— Coolidge and Davis. Little busi- ness has a candidate of its own— LaFollette. The little business men don’t like the way the Big Capitalists hog the profits. The big corporations and trusts are driving them out of busi. ness. They don’t like the way the Big Capitalists shift the burden of taxation. They don’t want to pay the costs of a big army and navy to protect the financial investments of the Big Capitalists, nor do they want to fight for new fields of ex- ploitation for the Big Capitalists. LaFollette stands for the interest of these little business men—the in- dependent manufacturer, the inde- pendent banker. With these little business men there are allied the professional men and some of the aristocracy of labor.

Jackson Blvd.--Chicago CHICAGO’S ONLY LABOR BANK platform in the Interest of the workers and farmers. It is a plat- form in the interest of the ‘little business men. LaFollette wants to “bust the , trusts.” If the trusts are busted, then the little business men would flourish. But the great corporations and trusts can’t be destroyed. It has been tried for twenty years and failed. They should not be de- stroyed, if that could be done, be- cause they represent a higher devel- opment of ability to produce wealth. LaFollette wants to go back to 1776. We can’t go back; we must go forward. The interests of the workers and farmers are not in what has been in the past. Their program is not to try to “bust the trusts,” but to nationalize them and use them in their own interests. The Communist Ticket. HE Workers Party has nominat- ed against the candidates of the Big Capitalists and the Little Capi- talists a Communist ticket—William Z. Foster for president and Benja- min Gitlow for vice president. The Workers Party ticket stands for the interests of the workers and exploited farmers. The Workers Party is for a workers and farmers’ government. The Workers Party declares that the great organization for production of wealth must be taken over by the government of the workers and farmers and operated for service and not dor profits of the capitalists. The Workers. Party declares that the rule of the work- ers and farmers must be expressed thru a Soviet government and that there must be a dictatorship of the proletariat in place of the present dictatorship ‘of Wall Street. The Workers Party will fight for immediate relief of the unemployed. The Workers Party is for recogni- tion of the first government of work- ers and peasants—the Union of So- cialist Soviet Republics, The Workers Party is fighting for the creation of a great mass party of workers and farmers for the struggle against capitalism. Against Coolidge and Davis, the agents of the Big Capitalists— against LaFollette, the agent of the Little Capitalists and the mislead. ers of the workers—the Workers Party raises the slogan of a revolu- tionary class party to fight for the workers and exploited farmers. * * * Help in This Fight.

Everybody is jumping on the socialists, who have humiliated themselves until they have not a shred of dignity left. But the lower they sink the more kicks they get. The latest attack made on them by a section of their bourgeois allies is in connection with the LaGuardia candidacy on the 'LaFollette ticket. The independents of the Twentieth Congressional District, who are. be- hind LaGuardia will not stand for the placing of soclialist candidates from the same istrict. The Harlem Ped- diets’ Association and the Independent Harlem Citizens League are up in arms. e 'HE socialists have endorsed La- Guardia for Congress but also en- dorsed two socialists for the’state sen- ate and the assembly. The petty bour- geois and middle class supporters of LaFollette were up in the air over this, believing that the soclalists were trying to put one over on them by try- ing to sneak over the tape on a wave of LaFollette popularity. It is re- ported that LaGuardia will support the anti-socialist candidates in the fight. The American Labor Party convention Which is a duplicate of the socialist party, endorsed the socialist party candidates but the LaFollette business men threaten to upset the apple cart unless they are withdrawn. © are E did not know there was a so- cialist party in Idaho, until a copy of the Pocatello Tribune came to hand, with the news that the socialist party of that state indorsed LaFol- lette. A state chairman discovered himself and got his name in the pa- pers by coming out for the Badger State senator. The socialist party did not go back on its revolutionary prin- ciples. Oh no! It merely went along with the crowd. Couldn’t possibly miss the opportunity to be in the same boat with Samuel Gompers. se ‘00 much pessimism!
