Zinoviev points out that in addition to the dow! ble trandl perpetrated on the workers by the capitalists in the past, in the’ form of two capitalist parties, they have now a triple fraud in the third capitalist party, led by the most shrewd betrayers of the workers. The message declares that the participation of the Worker: Party in this election campaign is a “courageous act” and a “political act” and hails the Party and its candidate William Z. Foster as the leaders of the revolutionary workers of Amer- ica. The telegram reads: To the Workers Party: Dear Comrades, in the name of the Com- munist International we greet your independent fight against the power and the election machine of capital- ism in America. It cannot be ex- pected thag the politically back- ward and unawakened majority of the working class of the United States can be aroused and won over by your party already during this year’s election campaign. That re- quires more time and many’ more fights. On this occasion, deceit and brib- ery will once again attract the neces- sary number of votes for an agent of the capitalist magnates, but the first militant appeal of Communism in the United States was enough to shake the old | capitalist election fraud, the old double fraud had to be turned into a triple fraud by the introduction of a third party. The ership of this lest reserve of the capitalist election machine is made up of the shrewdest betrayers of the working class in America. They no doubt know better than the vote catchers of the republican and democratic parties how to deceive the unawakened masses of workers and farmers. That is what they are there for. But this time the Workers Party will do its utmost to herald the truth about the proletarian revo- lutionary class struggle to the work- ers and farmers. For the first time in the history of the United States a party of the revolutionary proletariat has put forward its own candidate in the presidential elections. Comrades, this is a political act, a courageous act of the vanguard of Communism in America. We are convinced that this struggle of yours will not be without its lasting effects. Hall the fight of the Workers arty. Party. Hail Comrade William Z. Foster, candidate of the Workers Party. Long live the Communist Interna- tional. The Executive Committee of the Communist International. (Signed) G. Zinoviev. Won't Hurt Fur Worker.
