Number of Delegates. “Although the national Communish organization as such may be granted only five delegates in the St. Paul convention, the basis of representa- tion adopted is lending itself to their purpose to control. Reliable informa- tion shows that a very large number of Communist delegates will be pres- ent at St. Paul with duly authorized credentials. : “Reposing complete confidence in the soundness of the deliberate juds- ment of the American people, I have no apprehension that the Communist v can ever command any consid- support in this country. 1 do not auestion their right, under the Constitution, to submit their issues to the people, but I most emphati- cally protest against their being ad- mitted into the councils of any body of progressive voters. The Commu- nists stand for the substitution of the soviet form of government for the one we now have and propose to accomplish this change through revolution. with a class dictatorship | as their ultimate aim instead of a democracy. To pretend that the Communists can work with the pro- gressives, who believe in democrac is deliberately to deceive the publ The Communists are antagonistic to the progressive cause, and their only purpose in joining such a movement is to disrupt it. “Not only are the Communists the mortal enemies of the progressive movement and Democratic ideals, but, under the cloak of such extremists, the reactionary interests find the best opportunity to plant their sples and provocatory agents for the purpose of confusing and destroying true progressive movements. “I have devoted many years of my life to an effort to solve the problems which confront the American people by the ballot and not by force. I b lieve that the people through t ballot can completely control the! government in every branch and com- pel it to serve them effectively. 1 have fought steadfastly to-achieve this end, and I shall not abandon this fight as long as I may live. I b lieve, therefore, that all progressiv should refuse to participate in any movement which makes common cause with any Communist organiza- tion. “There is no doubt that the people have come to understand that pri- vate monopoly controls the official machinery of both the Democratic and Republican parties.

This cannot be accomplished by merely nominating some alleged progressive and filling the platform with misleading prom- ises. It demands the elimination of monopoly control, the downfall of the corrupt political bosses, the adoption of truly progressive principles and the repudiation of those great cam- paign contributors who have in the past bought up both parties. “If this is nat done, a long-suffering and righteously indignant people will find in the coming campaign effective means, independent of both these old parties, to take back control of their government and make it truly repre- sentative. “Sincerely yours, (Signed) “ROBERT M.

PAUL, Minn., May 28.—Persons here prominent in the preparations for a national Farmer-Labor-Progressive convention in St. Paul June 17, would not predict the probable effect of | Senator La Follette's statement on the activities of the convention. “What the action of the convention will be with reference to Senator La STUDEBAKER Just Drive It; That’s All Follette's statement is a matter for the convention itself to determine, in my opinion,” one member of the local committee 'sald. “No one man or small group can say what the con- vention probably will do.” This same man only a few days ago said that in discussfons preliminary to the convention he had heard La Follette’s name only as the probable selection of the convention for the third party presidential nomination. He would make no suggestion as to a likely substitute today. . Plans for the convention have been completed, except for such detalls as must await the arrival of the van- guard of leaders. Thirty-one states, the local committee declares, have signified their intention to send dele- gates and “four or five thousand dele- Bates are expected.” The voting strength of the conven- tion will be 977.
