The capitalist press, the too! and the puppet of those who seek to take the lives of our comrades, Sacco and Vanzetti, unhesitatingly descend to the lowest depths to falsify the truth and to encourage acts of crime and violence, intended to cover up the foul murder, they seek to perpetrate, This wholesale falsification of the news, this use of the press to aid and abet the lowest crimes against the working class, should convince every worker, that ne must resort to the greatest self-sacrifice in order to keep alive, the one paper, which speaks the truth, the only pa- per, which speaks in his name, The DAILY WORKER.
