Gitlow’s speech to this meet- ing, which was part of the Workers Party country-wide Anti-War week, is a forecast of what he will say on his election campaign tour starting now. “Not the defeat of imperialism, but protection of property interests of a certain few private individuals and corporations—like the ‘House of Mor- gan,’ Rockefeller and others—was the cause of the World War. Neither the workers of the United States or Burope wanted the war to fight each other.” ° Workers’ Co.operation “It was the result of competing vested intgrests, and another war is inevitable unless the industrial work- ers and poor farmers get together and take control of the national govern- ment, The Workers Party has this end for its goal and'in addition ad- vocates the necessity of international co-operation between the workers of all countries to refuse to fight in capitalist wars.” Gitlow’s indictment of Coolidge, Dawes and Davis, was merciless. He flayed the tin soldier Dawes as a pup- pet of the ‘House of Morgan,’ and used by them to fasten upon the German workers the Morgan-Dawes plan of debt collection. Gitlow entertained his audience with his thrusts at Davis the Morgan lawyer. Abolition of Capitalism He concluded his speech with the declaration: “Nothing can prevent war but the abolition of the capitalist system. The destruction of capitalism can only be accomplished by the or- ganization of the workers and working farmers into Soviets.

National Grove RIVERSIDE, (Continued from page 1) persons who have been identifled with the Farmer-Labor movement, the committee has no official con- | nection with the party. In organ- izing the committee, LaFollette’s manager in Minnesota, John F. Sinclair, in consultation with others issued a call to a select list of per- sons. At a conference of these persons, a state committee was selected and plans made to conduct the cam- paign. A paid representative has been named for each district who will devote his entire time to the promotion of the LaFollette cam- paign, which includes the congres- sional and senate candidates in- dorsed by the LaFollette confer- ence, The report has been circulated that a vigorous effort wil be made to sell membership certificates for $2.00 each, and half the money raised will be expended in the state. It is announced that local clubs will be organized in every district, This entire plan of organization will be promoted without any re- gard to the Minnesota Farmer- La- bor Party or its official organiza- tion, except that it will depend al- most entirely upon Farmer-Labor supporters and voters for its money and active workers. In states where there is no inde- pendent party progressive organiza- tion, the program mapped out by LaFollette forces will result in building up an effective machine, and will serve to unify the progres- sives behind the ticket. But in Min- nesota it will have the effect of creating a dual movement with its inevitable duplication and friction. For six years the farmers and workers and other progressives in Minnegota have been building up an independent political organiza- tion. Thousands of dollars and years of sacrifice have resulted in creating a widespread and indepen- LA FOLLETTE SMASHING F.-L. P. dent third party sentiment. This has been crystalized into party or- ganization that is equipped to func- tion in both state and ‘national ac- tivity. But the LaFollette national com- mittee has’ settled on a national plan of campaign, and state move- ments of progressives are not go- ing to be considered in putting this plan into operation.. The ticket will be filed as independent by means of petitions and will appear on the ballot as such. In states like South Dakota where the LaFollette electors are already nominated on the Farmer- Labor ballot, and likewise in Mon- tana, the LaFollette ticket will be filed by petition as independent. In Minnesota, where official stand- ing has been attained by the Farm- er-Labor party, and it is but a mere formality to place electors on the ballot, advantage will not be taken of this opportunity by the La- Follette ticket. Two years ago the Farmer-Labor party was afflicted with a duplica- tion of organizations and factional groups which greatly added to the expense, confusion and friction in the campaign. To avoid a repeti- tion of this unfortunate situation the Farmer-Labor Federation was formed. This undertaking has en- countered the most obstinate op- position by self-seeking individuals who have misrepresented and ob- structed the full development of the Federation. This year a worse situation is en- countered. A -predominating na- tional movement has come into the state, and is now preparing to alie- nate the moral and financial sup- port of the Farmer-Labor move- ment, It will lead to a division of the active workers if the LaFol- lette program is carried out. It will mean that workers and supporters will have to determine where to throw their force. between a Soviet America and Soviet Russia and Europe. Comrade William Z. Foster, Com- munist candidate for president on the Workers Party ticket, will leave for Milwaukee after his meeting in St. Paul on Saturday night. Foster’s Mil- waukee speech is looked forward to with especial interest because it will j be delivered in “the only Socialist city | in America” according to the publicity of the almost defunct socialist party.

THE DAILY WORKER FOSTER TO EXPOSE LAFOLLETTE RECORD IN MILWAUKEE, SUNDAY (Special to The Daily Worker) MILWAUKEE, Aug. 22.— That Governor Blaine’s stand on taxa- tion will get him the vote of Big Business was the charge made by Miss Ada L. James, in a severe at- tack on the governor Issued from Madison “Governor Blaine tells how much he has done for labor, but if you would know what labor thinks of Governor Blaine read the following Paragraph taken from the official report read atthe convention of the Federation of Labor, July 14, 1924. “‘Governor Blaine is strong for a federal child labor amendment, but he never lifted a finger to protect the children of Wisconsin when Bill’ 242-A, regulating the employ- ment of children, in the state, was pending.” This reactionary governor has the endorsement of the alleged friend of labor, Senator LaFollette. When William Z. Foster speaks at Milwaukee, at Tippecanoe Park, next Sunday afternoon, he will ex- pose Senator LaFollette and his re- actionary cohorts and the anti-la- bor record of the LaFoilette ma- chine In Wisconsin.

Dr. Ed. Tripple, who is the Fisher and Henderson company doc- tor, was also called in to examine Joe Sturts. Sturts pleaded with his friends, “It you take me to the poor house I'll die,” but there was no money to sup- ply his needs and he had to go. Hosier hinted strongly that Sturts was not at all well tdken’ care of at the country farm. “There are all men nurses there,” he said, “and they do not bother much with the inmates. But his sick benefit with the union had run out, and we are out of funds, of Chicago Sunday, August 24 “After a week at the county poon farm I saw that Sturts was getting no attention and removed him to the St. Elizabeth hospital. His mind was all right when he entered, but now I am told he is mentally deranged. The only treatment they gave him so far as I can find out is morphine, in lit- tle white, pills. He is in bad shape, and we don’t know what to do with him.” Must Ally With Railroaders. Hosier said that, “The miners will never get any, further than they are at present until they make agree ments with the railroad unions not to ship any scab coal. The Chamber of Commerce of Indiana is trying to ar- range to have freight rates on coal arranged so that scab coal can be shipped into Belleville and other union coal mining towns and sell it cheaper than the union coal can be sold right on the spot.” “The non-union fields must be or- ganized,” Andrew Young added, “and the amalgamation of the basic indus- try unions must be effected in spite of the reactionary miners’ offictals who are at present standing in the way.” Dawes States Issue; It Is the War of ‘The Top’on ‘Underneath’ By J. LOUIS ENGDAHL. "TODAY: every worker and every farmer in these United States should ponder the statement of Charles Gates Dawes, republican vice-presidential candidate, made at New York City. he Some Henry Dubb, who still clings to the republican party, rushed up to the living embodiment of “Brass Tacks,” rushing thru the Grand Central Station, and tried to tell him something about the “feeling underneath among the great masses.” The name of this deluded individual is lost even to the fleeting pages of the daily newspapers, but the reply of “‘Hell-an’-Maria” should be remembered and studied for a long time to come. : * * * * Republican Vice-Presidential Candidate Dawes said: “Don’t care anything about the feeling underneath. I’m going at this thing from the top.” * ae * *- That is about as clear a statement of the fundamental position of the Capitalist Dictatorship that rules America, and that is seeking imperial sway over the world, as can be made. Dawes doesn’t care what the workers think. Dawes doesn’t care what the farmers think. Dawes only knows that the interests of his class can best be conserved by the working and farming masses kneeling as slaves at the foot- stool of the big business interests, accepting without ques- tion the orders of their masters. Dawes doesn’t believe that the workers and farmers should do any thinking. This should all be done by the big capitalists, whose views will be handed down to the masses by the kept press, the kept pulpits and the kept institutions of learning, and other avenues for the spreading of informa- tion. eR ae William Jennings Bryan says that, “The more Dawes talks the better the democrats will like it.” Bryan’s candidate, Davis, Morgan’s lawyer, and Bryan’s brother, Charles, candidate for vice-president, are as much for the capitalist dictatorship as is either Dawes or Coolidge. But where Dawes is outspoken, like a Mussolini, a Hor- thy, a Noske, or some other bloody assassin of labor, these democrats, so-called, camouflage their position in the high- sounding phraseology of “demooraoy.” If Dawes only talked, Bryan might be right. But Bryan found out, at the Madison Square Garden convention, that big business does more than talk. Even Bryan was forced to swallow John “Wall Street” Davis. a * * * * Dawes is American Fascism in politics and in business. Dawes organized his “Minute Men of the Constitution” on the basis that every army of the capitalists, or of any other ruling class, is organized for unquestioning obedience to “The Top.” Dawes went to Europe to heip carry on the war to save Morgan’s millions. Dawes is the vice-presidential candidate of the biggest organized effort to save the Morgan social system in this country. Dawes intends to be vice-president, along with Coolidge as president, if the power of organized gold can keep his party in power. If the masses “underneath,” whom Dawes despises, peacefully win power, Dawes will be among the first’to help rally the armed forces of the American capitalist state to prevent the workers from retaining that power. He will call on the police, the state militia, the federal troops to fight to keep the ownership of things in the hands of. “The Top;” to prevent this ownership and control from falling into the hands of those “underneath.” He will join his class in doing in a big way what Coolidge did in his small way in breaking the strike of the Boston policemen. Dawes has made the issue of this political struggle clear as crystal in the two short sentences, which are here re- peated: “ “Don't care anything about the feeling underneath. I'm going at this thing from the top.” : And U. S. Senator Robert Marion LaFollette, also a can- didate for president, still belongs to this Fascisti Republican Party of Morgan, Coolidge and Dawes, Not only does LaFollette still belong to the Coolidge- Dawes party, but his presidential campaign is using its strength, wherever possible, to crush every effort of the workers and farmers to organize their own class political expression—especially their Farmer-Labor Parties. This is true even in Minnesota, where the Farmer- Labor forces, glimpsing ‘the meaning of the class struggle, have carried the state twice in elections to the United States senate. a * * * ‘Coolidge and Dawes are the outspoken Fascists. Davis and Bryan are Fascists with a thin veneer of fake “democracy” that can easily be scraped away. LaFollette and Wheeler are the stalking horses of Fas- cism, boring from within the ranks of labor, to lure the workers and farmers away from their own class interests and into the Fascist camp, when the life of capitalism is threatened. * * hd *. In this campaign there is only one party fighting for the class interests at labor. This is the Workers Parte There is only one set of candidates voicing the ‘un- compromising struggle for the victory of labor; the Com- munist candidates with William Z. Foster, for President, and Benjamin Gitlow, for Vice-President. Workers! Fight for P and class in this campaign under the Communist standards. Fight against the Fascism of Wall Street in all its various and deceiving forms.

While a great deal of the facts of Mars are already known, It Is still desirable to know more accurately the extent and composition of Mar- tian air, the temperature of different portions of the planet's surface and the surface and causes, if possible, of changes in the surface features, seasonal and otherwise, It is claimed by Washington ex. perts, however, that very little will be accomplished by the observa- tions tonight and tomorrow.
