THE DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JULY 7, 1928 Both the Republican and Democratic Parties will spend millions in the coming election campaign. Hoover and Smith are the candidates of the Big Capi- talists and Bankers. Schwab and Morgan will give support to both candidates. The Wall Street Interests, the Coal Barons, Steel Barons, Oil Kings and other In- dustrial Barons know that only the workers and poor farmers will lose, that they: will be the winners whether Hoover or Smith is the next president of the United States. The Socialist Reverend Thomas will have his election campaign chest filled by the small business man and the professionals that make up the base of the petty bourgeois Socialist Party. lt is true their chest will not be a very heavy one for the nature of the petty bourgeois soul is to measure everything by success, and they have no faith in their party and its standard bearers as far as the results of the elections go. The candidate who will receive the greatest favors from the bankers and the big business interests will be the candidate that will win the elections. This has been done since 1892 with only one exception in 1916, when Wilson was re-elected on the platform: “He kept us out of war,” only to expose the hypocrisy of the Democratic Party and the Democrat Wilson a few months later when the United States was plunged into the war. The sums spent by both parties since 1896 are as follows : Republicans Democrats 1896—MeKinley $3,500,000 1896——Bryan $675,000 1900-—-McKinley 2,500,000 + 1900-—Bryan 425,000 1904—Roosevelt 1,900,000 1904—Parker 700,000 1908—Taft 1,655,518 1908—Bryan 900,000 1912—Taft , 1,070,000 1912—Wilson 1,130,000 Roosevelt (Prog.) $670,000 1916—Wilson 1,958,000 1916—Hughes 8,829,000 1920—Cox 1,318,374 1920—Harding 5,819,729 1924—Davis 903,908 1924—Coolidge 3,063,952 La Follette $221,977 That these figures are only given as official figures and that many times this sum is spent goes without saying, but the sums spent are no doubt in proportion to the sums officially recorded. The outstanding fact remains that the party with the largest campaign fund is the party that wins the election. WORKERS (COMMUNIST) PARTY The Workers (Communist) Party is the party that fights for the interests of the workers and exploited farmers. The Workers (Communist) Party is the deadly enemy of the capitalist system. It works for the overthrow of capitalism through the setting up of a true Workers’ and Farmers’ Government in the United States, through the dictatorship of the prole- tariat. bs Our party appeals only to the workers and poor farmers of this country for support in this campaign. This party calls upon the workers and poor farmers to rally to the support of their party. In entering the election campaign the Workers (Communist) Party has no ullusions as to the possibility of abolishing eapitalism through the ballot, Just the opposite, our party exposes the sham capitalist democracy as in reality a capitalist dictatorship in the interests of a few and against the great mass of workers and ex- ploited farmers. Our party enters this eampaign with the main object in mind of utilizing the elections as a means to agitate among and mobilize the masses for TRUEFOOD WAITER STRME STILL ON Demand Higher Wages, MAKES PROGRE resses of the Truefood Vegetarian SIGNATURE DRIVE “icia Bie iene Seon Communists Get Names Union Recognition For Ballot pienic will begin at 11 a. m. and con- palace? erie tinue throughout the day.
