The desire to forget Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, anarchists who after their execution two years ago this month, gripped Massachusetts. Harry J. Canter of East Boston was the candidate of the Workers' Party for secretary of state. On November 3, 1928 just before the elections, the Boston branch of the party staged a street demonstration. Canter himself carried a conspicuous placard bearing the defiant words: "Fuller-Murderer of Sacco and Vanzetti." One have been forgetting Sacco and Vanietti.
