Price 3 Cents Nov. 7, 1917---And Today Twelve years ago this day the workers of old Russia, who had overthrown the czar the previous March, went further and claimed the exclusive right to state power to belong in the hands of the workers, and enforced the establishment of the dictatorship of the proletariat by armed overthrowal of. the capitalist class power then represented | by Kerensky’s provisional government. The workers of Petrograd, mobilized and armed the Red Guard of the revolution, fighting the counter-revolutionary “Cadets” for control of the nerve centers of the city; the soidiers and Kronstadt sailors who obeyed the order of the Revolutionary Military Committee to seize the Winter Palace, the red sailors of the cruiser Aurora, who steamed up the Neva stripped for action to rain shells on that nest of counter-revolutionary resistance—these were dramatic symbols of the passing power from one class to another on that historic day twelve years ago. But these events only introduced events on a grander scale as the toiling masses of the First Workers’ and Peasants’ Republic, fought for years and over every mile from the Baltic to the Pacific _ and from the Arctic coast to the Bleac Sea—driving back the invading armies of world imperialism, crushing the counter-revolution within, fighting famine and typhus and the criminal blockade designed to starve and destroy the Soviet power. Let us honor today, as the future will honor till Ithe end of time, the numberless proletarian heroes who fell in those years of ceaseless battles. Let us rejoice today, as future generations will always re- joince, that their sacrifice was not in vain, and that the Soviet Power still rules over one-sixth the land area of the earth. Nor let us for- get that the help which the whole world’s working class gave in those days of need, must be given again and in fuller measure in the coming hour of trial when the imperialist powers, desperately bent on re- taining dominance in a world divided into two hostile camps—the cap- italist camp and the socialist camp—again seek to destroy the Soviet Power by fire and sword—by poison gas and airplane. And let no one forget that as these lines are read, another great drama of revolution is proceeding throughout the Soviet Union in the form of socialist construction under the Five-Year Plan of industrial- ization, and that the keynote in this offensive against capitalism is the socialization of agriculture, the establishment of great government farms and enormous collective farms aided by the government. “Every revolution, if it is a real revolution,” said Lenin in 1917, “reduces itself to a shifting of class positions.” And no other one @hing so symbolizes the present course of proletarian revolution today jin the Soviet Union, as does the socialization of agriculture. Nor is it lacking in drama, this historic struggle, presented on the 6,000 mile wide stage of the Soviet Union—and beyond in the division of class forces it crystalizes throughout the world. We ask the reader to visualize the ocean of revolutionary energy unchained in the Soviet proletariat and poorer strata of peasantry, which is responsible for the astounding stastistics. That last year in the Russian Federated Soviet Republics alone Europe and Siberia) there were only 1,976,000 acres in state farms, while this year there were 13,585,000 acres; that this is exclusive of Soviet Ukraine, where the whole Five-Year Plan provided for only 3,211,000 acres in state farms, but where in the past year alone more thanthe total hoped for in five years’ time, or 3,600,000 acres, were won for socialized agriculture from capitalist individual production, that the Five-Year Plan provided for 36,000 big collective farms, but that 57,000 are already working; that the world’s biggest single farm, the “Giant” in the Caucasus, plows 197,000 acres under socialized ownership. With these revolutionary attacks on the remnants of capitalism, the ‘defenders of capitalism, not only in the Soviet Union, where the rich farmer “kulak,” joined with the priest, the scheming Nepman trader and a few renegades from Communism, meet and must meet short shrift from the’stern justice of the proletariat, but also abroad every foe of the Soviet Power openly or covertly raises a hostile pro- test at this revolutionary advance. Thus we see, here in America, Lovestone the renegade from Com- munism and supporter of the Bucharin opposition to the Soviet Fi Year Plan, conceals in silence his opposition to the bringing of agri- culture into socialist Soviet economy, the outstanding factor of revolu- tionary importance in the Soviet Union. today. How important it is, Lenin told in 1917, saying: “Outside of common tillage of the land by agricultural workers under the condition of applying the best machines and using the advice of trained agriculturists, there is no way out from the yoke of capitalism.” It is precisely because the Soviet proletariat and poorer peasant strata are today throwing off that yoke of capitalism, that in all eountries the mouthpieces of the imperialist enemies of the Soviet Union are uniting in a wail of lament and hatred. And the Lovestones, Brandlers, et al, who sneak about the fringes of the Communist move- ment trying to cause doubts in the minds of honest workers are a part, inescapably, of the class forces on the other side of the barricade. No one can play at being a Communist while following the policy of the bourgeoisie. No weasel words or alept deception can hide the plain fact, that in the great battle for socialism in the Soviet Union, Love- stone is on the side of- world capitalism, for it is absurd to imagine that one can support capitalism in the Soviet Unjon and socialism in America. When twelve years ago today, the Russian proletariat cut the Gordian knot of capitalist contradictions with the sword of armed revolt, it succeeded only. because n slick tongued falsifiers of revolu- tionary policy could stand before the Bolshevik logic of Lenin and the forces of history. Today, Lenin lives in his teachings, and historical forces foreshadow an onrush of worid revolution.

The workers in Macon and in Forsythe, new to the class struggle, knew that they were reading their own newspaper when they read their first copies of the Daily Worker—and read therein the North Carolina mill workers’ side of the struggle against slavery and terror—where before they had received only the mill owners’ side.

Ballot _ Cheat Workers of Vote Tammany Terror Drive Hinders Big Showing An election that was character- ized in most cities throughout the |country by a substantial increase in Communist votes, in New York dis- played particularly the reaction of the workers against race prejudice. The highest vote for any Commu- t candidate recorded in New York | City was 6,050 for Otto Hall, Negro worker and candidate for comp- troller. The Communist vote practically doubled in Tuesday’s election in New York, over the vote cast in the last mayoralty campaign here, 1925, in spite of every possiblé adverse cir- cumstance. The terroy of ‘police per- secution throughout the campaign the intimidation of workers going to the polls, the serious evidence that the voting machines were fixed ir many cases, and the. cértainty that hostile capitalist party election boards tabulated and announced the results in every precinct: all these and many other causes prevented an !adequate reflection in the ballot re- sults of the growth of Communism among the workers of New York. Nevertheless, the highest Communist vote on the ticket of 1925 was 3,388 for comptroller, and this year’s |highest, also for comptroller, is 6,050. Tammany Counts Votes.
