Fag? DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1934 == Auto Worker Is C. P. Nominee for Governor of Michigan. Oil Worker Is Candidate For Governor Fighting Program Is Brought to Texas Workers, Farmers HOUSTON, Texas, Oct. 26——With a strong slate of Texas working class leaders, headed by Enoch Hardway, oil worker of Breckenridge, Commu- nist candidate for Governor; H. A. Winn, young Negro worker, for Lieutenant Governor, and L. C. Keel, Indian worker of Ranger. for United States Senator, the Com- munist Party of Texas has entered the state and national Congres- sional elections to be held in Texas November 6th with vigor and en- thusiasm. The steady growth of the Communist Party in Texas, | which has been greatly accelerated | during the last year, has made it possible for the Communist Party of Texas to greatly intensify its work among the workers, poor farmers and the Negro and Mexican people, and the election campaign is bringing to large masses of these workers the answer to their un- bearable oppression, exploitation and discrimination by the Southern | white landlords and Wall Street- controlled corporations which have the unbounded natural resources of Texas in an iron grip. Candidates Hailed On October 24th a campaign tour by Enoch Hardway, L. C. Keel and H. A. Winn began in Waco, ex- tending through San Antonio, Port Arthur, Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, Lubbock, Breckenridge, Hamlin, and possibly other points in Texas, Already in Breckenridge, Hamlin and towns in West Texas; some of the Communist candidates have spoken and have been received enthusiastically. Along with the national Congres- sional election platform of the Com- munist Party of the United States, the Communist Party of Texas nas issued a special election statement raising “special demands for, and clearly stating the position of the various sections of the workers and poor farmers and the oppressed and terrorized Negroes and Mexicans in Texas. The statement declares: “Texan farmers are facing ruin. Parched lands are showing the mockery of the A.A.A. Two hundred thousand agricultural workers and tenant farmers in this state have been forced off the land by acreage cuts. Mexican farm hands, reduced to virtual peonage, are working for forty and fifty cents a day. Texas capitalists and landlords boast that ‘Texas can feed the world; but Texas like other states. finds itself faced with a population on the verge of starvation.” The statement also points out the slashing of wages of oil workers, packing house workers and others, the unbearable condi- tions on the job, the splitting of the ranks of the working class by the bosses by arousing hatred between the Mexican, white and Negro work- ers, and calls upon the white work- ers to unite with the Negroes, “to organize side by side with the Negro workers on the basis of full equality and struggle for higher wages, more relief and better conditions, and democratic rights for both.” Equal Rights for Negroes In striking contrast to the policy of the Democratic Party of Texas, which for years has had a strangle- hold on the state machinery, and which was able, through the ruling of the Attorney General, Democratic nominee for Governor, to keep Negroes from voting in the Demo- cratic primaries (the Attorney Gen- eral saying “the Democratic Party has always been a white man’s party and I intend to do all that I can to keep it that way”), the Communist Party of Texas stands forth boldly for equal rights for the Negro people and the right of self- determination in the Black Belt. H. A. Winn, Negro candidate for Lieutenant Governor, has already spoken before organizations in Houston and received pledges of support. He is a member of the Scottsboro Defense Committee of Houston and is exerting all his ef- forts to gain support for the Scotts- boro boys. Special demands are also raised in the statement for the thousands of exploited Mexican workers in Texas, who are used as a source of cheap labor by the Southern bosses until no longer profitable, and then deported wholesale back to an American imperialist dominated Mexico to live under even more un- bearable conditions. The Commu- nist Party of Texas pledges itself to fight against deportations of Mexican workers, and to fight for “equal rights, equal relief, equal wages for the Mexican workers.” With the completion of the Pan- American Highway from Mexico City, through Laredo, to the United States, one more step toward war preparation will be taken by the ‘Inited States and the bought-off scvernment of Mexico. The work For U. S. Senate L, C. KEEL, who is running for the U. S, Senate on the Commu- nist Party slate in Texas. and Newion in the last year, the wholesale deportation and persecu- tion of Mexican workers, the denial of civil rights to Negroes and Mexi- cans, the murder of T. E. Barlow, Communist leader of the unemploy- ed by the Fort Worth police, the jailings of countless unemployed, the murder and shooting of striking longshoremen (Galveston and Hous- ton).” This terror has been met by the workers of Texas with demon- strations, protests, strikes in Texas ports, oil workers’ strikes, the pecan workers’ strike in San Antonio (in- volving over 8,000 workers), and the rapid losing of all illusions in capi- talist justice by the Texan masses. Workers’ Candidates Besides the leading nominees, other Communist candidates who will appear on the ballot in the general elections in Texas are Orton Campbell, former Socialist and leader of McLennan County Work- ers and Farmers Council in Waco, for State Treasurer; Raymond Bland, leader of oil workers in Breckenridge, for State Comptroller of Public Accounts; Perry Ballard, active young worker of San Antonio, for State Superintendent of Public Instruction; George W. Johnson, well-known leader of the poor farm- ers and the unemployed, who has been subjected to much imprison- ment for his activities, for Commis- sioner of the General Land Office; Paul Johnson, young farmer, or- ganizer of the unemployed and poor farmers in Dickens, for Commis- sioner of Agriculture, and Robert Pierce, leader of the unemployed of Houston, with a mass following, for many years a leader in working class. organizations, for Railroad Commissioner. In the national Con- gressional elections, Ben H. Lauder- dale, widely known farm leader of West Texas, with great influence among the workers and poor farm- ers of Texas, will appear on the Communist ticket as candidate for U. S. Representative from the 17th District of Texas. The names of the Communist candidates are already printed on the state ballots, along with the names of the professional and cor- rupt politicians of the Democratic Party and the bankrupt leaders of the Socialist Party. The Commu- nist Party of Texas states: “The Communist candidates are workers and poor farmers. Cast your vote for representatives of your own class.” Ohio Nominee Is Fighter From Ranks By I. 0, FORD Born sixty years ago (1874) in Bloomington, Illinois, of Irish-Ger- man parentage.

The Communist Party of Texas “extends to the workers and peasants of Mexico international solidarity in their struggle against their own landlords and against American capitalists.” That this solidarity is growing was over- whelmingly demonstrated in the gigantic May Day international demonstration of 10,000 American and Mexican workers on the Inter- national Bridge at Laredo. Fascist Terror Grows The growing fascist trends in ‘Texas and the growing radicaliza- tion of the Texan masses have been demonstrated dozens of times in the last year. “Growing fascism in ‘Texas has shown itself in the lynch- ings of Negroes in Kountze, Crockett tional work, including hunger marches, unemployed demonstra- tions, Scottsboro and Tom Mooney protest demonstrations, Was jailed in Warren, Ohio, for organizing a march of jobless steel workers to city hall.

The Village Board at its first meet- ing set a minimum scale of 60 cents an hour and five hours a day. The workers began to see the difference between the promises of the Demo- n Governor JOHN ANDERSON, rank and file leader in the Mechanics’ Edu- cational Society of America, C. P. Speakers Stir Mill Town In Connecticut Workers in Danielson Hear Candidaies on Party Program DANIELSON, Conn., Oct. The Communist Party election cam- paign has penetrated this little tex- tile town and nearby Norwich, stronghold of the chemical indus- try, despite bitter opposition by mill owners and police. A highly successful open-air cam- paign rally was held here recently, atetnded by many mill wo: who responded with enthusias and militancy to the Communist elec- tion program as outlined by three Conditions of the Workers In Hillsboro Area Described Under Attacks of New Deal HILLSBORO, Ill, Oct. 25.—The standard of living of the toiling farmers of Montgomery County since the New Deal has been low- ered by no less than 15 to-20 per cent in the course of the last year and a half. Once a_ prosperous county in mining, smelting plants and several smaller factories, such as glass and radiator manufacturing plants, today the workers and farm- ers are facing mass loss of their homes and farms, because of the inability to pay mortgages or de- linquency in taxes. Eighty per cent of the workers are totally unem- ployed; on two mines out of four are working, and in these the work is so slack that there is a division of work installed (or better said, the division of misery) to a point where the miners in Nokomis Have to apply for relief, because their pay check for the two weeks period is hardly ever bigger than $9 to $10. The farmers, hit by drought and unable to market even that which they have for sale, are forced to seek relief just like the unemployed and part time miners, In the largest town, Litchfield, mass misery of the workers is clear- ly to be seen on entering the town. Radiator and few smaller plants, while operating under increasing speed-up and non-union conditions, have placed more than one-third of workers completely out of a job. In such mining camps as Panama, workers have been suffering from unemployment for the last five years. Democratic Party Continues Repub- lican Starvation Policy Faced with growing misery, un- employment and insecurity, the miners and farmers of this county, dissatisfied with the Hoover prom- ises of “60 day return of prosperity,” turned to follow Roosevelt promises of “a New Deal” to the forgotten men. The whole county was swept into the Democratic landslide. These workers were misled into believing, like other millions in the country, that the Roosevelt promises of un- employment insurance, better wages and jobs and the right to organize would mean something. The county government was also put into the hands of the Democratic machine, However, the miners and toiling farmers soon found out that the Roosevelt promises of better condi- tions were turned into deeds of open attack upon the workers’ living standards. The action of the county and state democratic government in the attack upon the Progressive pickets in the neighboring—Christ- ian—County, shooting of strikers no less brutally by the Democratic than the Republican government, was an eye-opener to many of these miners, who began to see the class charac- ter of the whole government. The miners began to turn to the revo- lutionary path. On the basis of exposure of the Roosevelt N. R. A. schemes, the first beginnings of the Communist Party were established in the mining cen- ters, such as Nakomis, Taylor Springs, etc. Under the leadership of the Communist Party and the militant elements the workers, in- cluding the farmers of this county, began to answer the fake promises of the county, State and naifonal Democratic bosses with organiza- tion, Unemployment Councils were organized in practically every town to fight for relief and clothing for the unemployed. Many Follow Militant Path In the struggles of the unemployed and on the P. M. A. picket. line, the workers found that the prom- ises of the Democratic machine in the county and State were turned into tear gas and jailing. In the course of the past year and a half, numerous demonstrations and struggles forced considerable con- cessions from the bosses. United action of the unemployed and Pro- gressive miners, men and women, gained increases in relief, abolished cratic machine, the phrases of the| speakers. The speakers were Bob Socialist leaders and the concrete| Kling, candidate for Congressman- leadership of the Communist Party,| at-Large; Michael Russo, candidate and that is why they elected Com-| munists to the various positions. | This fact, plus the growing unity | of the working class of this county | | under revolutionary leadership in| forcing better relief and union con- | ditions on the job, struck terror) into the hearts of the coal oper- | ators, the rich land owners and | politicians. Schemes were planned | in an attempt to break this grow- | ing unity. The Republican and | Democratic machine of Montgom- | ery County combined its forces | through the Chamber of Commerce and in June of this year the bosses began an open attack upon the | workers of this county. Proclama- | tions denying public assembly, for- | bidding of picketing, arbitrary ar- rests, were put on the order of the | day, against any one who fought for better conditions. The frame- | up of the fourteen Hillsboro work- | ers on charges of the “plot to) overthrow the government” is the result. of this scheme to defeat the | struggle of the working class. | Struggle Despite Terror The bosses of this county, how- ever, miscalculated one thing. They | could scare the unorganized masses, they could put temporarily a crimp in the scope of the unemployed, by intimidation and jailing, but they | did not succeed to tear the revo- lutionary roots implanted and or- | ganized by the Communist Party. | Though the leaders of the Party were lodged in jail and kept there for nearly tour months under exorbitant bail, their places were taken by other workers and the battle carried on. | The answer of the workers and | miners of this county to the at- tacks of the bosses was a broadest | united defense action in behalf of } the Hillsboro boys, the majority of | the organized forces, in fact fully | 90 per cent of the organized labor | of this county, and members of the Socialist Party, endorsed the de-| fense of the’ Hillsboro comrades, and as answer to the bosses and the Democratic politicians, put for- ward a united front Workers- Farmers ticket for this county election, and placed no less than two of the Hillsboro defendants and leading Communists of this county | to be on this united front ticket. Candidate for Senate on By ALFRED TIALA 9 (Communist Party Candidate for U. S. Senate from Minnesota) MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Oct. 25.— The chairman introduced me: “Comrade Tiala, who is runing for United States Senate on the Com- munist Party ticket.” Unconsciously this presentation expresses a Wrong point of view. It is the point of view that here is an individual who of his own choosing and for himself is “run- ning” for political office, just as some other individual is “running” on the Republican or on the Farmer-Labor ticket. This sort of conception brings about an aloofness from the cam- paign by most of the members of the Communist Party. They leave; the campaigning entirely up to the individuals who are “running” for office, as though the campaign were not the concern of every Party member. Before we can have an effective election campaign this wrong point of view must be corrected. Tiala and Dais or any other Communist is not “running” for some political office. We have been chosen by the Party to be the standard bearers in the campaign, which is the prin- cipal campaign of the entire Party just at this time. Instead of run- ning for office in the sense of office -” Minnesota C. P. Slate Calls for Mass Election Campaign Activities seekers, we are conducting a cam- paign for Communism—educating, organizing and leading the strug- gles of the workers and farmers. The election campaign is not something apart and different from the year in and year out activities that Communists must carry on. It is merely the adaptation of our every-day tasks to the peculiar con- ditions offered to us by capitalist parliamentarism. We would blind and foolish if we did not avail ourselves of this opportunity to reach new sections of the masses of workers and farmers. It would be a neglect of our Bolshevist du- ties if we did not utilize the pre- election period to expose the pro- grams of the capitalist parties. Our objective must be to acquire a Communist fraction in capitalist parliaments. This is not because We want to be office holders, but in order that we may more effec- tively carry on our work in behalf of the workers and farmers. Con- sequently the election campaign is not an individual affair but a very important task of the entire Party. In order that we shall have a mass election campaign, it is not enough, though it is important, that meetings be arranged at which the Party candidates will speak. Some workers and farmers will come to these meetings. Some will be | nist Party. stay away; and yet these, too, must be reached, Every Party member must be. come a campaigner. Every Party member cannot get up on a ros- trum and make a speech. But every- one is capable of speech. Everyone who can talk about the weather, about the shop, or about farming, can also talk about the principles and the program of the Commu- If he or she cannot, it 4s merely because the Party member does not know the prin- ciples and the program. If that is the case, it is high time that such a Party member begins to acquire the necessary knowledge. Visit Your Neighbor All Farty members must make it a practice to visit their neigh- bors, whether the neighbors are acquaintances or strangers, to talk about the election, about our pro- gram and about our candidates. They can carry with them the Con- gressional platform of the Party, the Daily Worker and other liter- ature. We must let the workers and farmers know what the Com- munist Party is and what Commu- nism will mean for the workers and farmers. It is possible and necessary to organize house meetings where speaking and discussion can be carried on; or reading and discus- sion in the absence of a speaker. In the house to house mass cam- paign one is always sure of coming across some sympathetic worker or | farmer. Many of these sympathiz- ers will gladly permit a house | meeting in their home. | Many of these house meetings will not be large. But we must Jearn that even a few workers are worth talking to. Christ is quoted as having said: “Where two or three come together in my name there I will be in their midst.” This is good philosophy for Communists. Every single one whom we can con- vince will in turn convince others. And in carrying on the election campaign We must not forget those whom we find to be really inter- ested and sympathetic. They must | not be allowed to fall away from | our influence. They must be con- tacted systematically, and their education in Communism must be assured. They must be drawn into the Party. Every Party Unit should hold a Unit meeting at once at which plans for the Unit will be laid for a house meeting. Work for each member must be mapped out and) a check-up made of the work done. The work started now must be car- ried on through and after election so that our election campaign be- for State Treasurer, and Joseph Jackson, section organizer of the Communist Party in Eastern Con- necticut. The rally was to have been held, originally, in the hall of the Union of St. John the Baptist, but the pressure of local police and offi- cials of the organization caused permission for the hall's use to be rescinded, and workers were turned away when they came to attend the meeting. Efforts of police to break up the meeting were unsuccessful. The size and militancy of ‘he audience, however, compelled the police to abandon their efforts. ‘Daily’ Leads Struggles of Ohio Toilers The Daily Worker, which elads the struggles of the Ohio workers, can be secured at the following places: Daily Worker Office, 1522 Prospect Ave.; Schroeder's News Stand, 212 Superior Ave. East; Wheatman News Co., 519 Euclid Ave.; Nick’s News Stand, Public Square; Marine Workers Hall, 1282 East 9th St. Woodland Ave.—Workers Center, 3210 Woodland Ave.; Rose Res- tauramt, 3702 Woodland Ave.; Mandel’s Drug Store, 5114 Wood- land Ave. Broadway—Workers Center, 7057 Broadway.
