Laborite Ticket Slated for Majority in American Zionist Congress Poll

to have deserted their own ticket and to have voted for the Laborites in order to show their resentment at the coalition agreement between the General Zionists and the Hadassah, which gave the latter organization half the places on the ticket.

Although some 14,000 votes had been counted at the time this paper went to press, many important Zionist centers throughout the United States had not been heard from. The total of votes expected by the election officials is 20,000 to 25,000 and it is thought that the late votes will only increase the Laborite victory.

99 NAMES ON TICKET

The Poale Zion-Zeire Zion ticket of 99 names included the following well-known Laborites: Chaim Greenberg, editor of the Kampfer; Berel Locker, member of the executive of the World Zionist Organization; Meyer Brown, secretary of the Poale Zion; Isaac Hamlin, secretary of the League for Labor Palestine; David Pinski, noted novelist; Goldie Meyerson, representative of the Palestinian workers; Louis Segal, secretary of the National Workers Alliance; David Wertheim, Joel Enteen, Leib Glantz, H. Erenreich, Professor Chaim Fineman, Sam Siegel and I. Rubenstein.

In the last Zionist election held in 1929, in which six groups had tickets in the field, and in which 24,000 votes were cast, the votes were distributed as follows: Zionist Organization of America received 11,990 votes, and elected 20 delegates; the Mizrachi received 5,631 votes and elected 10 delegates; the Poale Zion and Zeire Zion, then running on separate tickets, received 3,365 votes and elected one delegate. The Revisionists received 289 votes, and the Herzl Zionists received 656 votes.

Gratitude for the support shown the united labor party ticket by the voters was voiced in a statement to the Jewish Daily Bulletin yesterday by Meyer Brown, the secretary.

“We understand the importance of the hour,” he said, “and will, together with all the constructive forces in Zionism, fulfill the obligation we have taken on ourselves. We will carry out the constructive work embodied in the program of our party.”
