That shuts out the professional politicise, gives the members of the party some acquaintance with their-candidates. The red card signifies that, as the blood of all nations is red, all should make common cause for the betterment of the condition of the laboring people. All questions are referred to the members of the party, under the referendum, for final settlement. -The members also have the right to initiate any measure in relation to the party or party management. All other parties are ruled by a few political leaders, their strikers and their henchmen.

The socialist party is ruled by a majority of its membership, and every member has a voice in the party management. The constitution provides for the expulsion of a member who violates the constitution or refuses to accept the action of a majority as final. This gives the party the power of self-purification, a power no other party possesses. 1 The socialist party is built from the bottom up from tho rank and file of its out of the business. While the price of beef to the consumer is so high that the average day laborer in the eastern cities can scarcely afford to eat it.

Whenever the American voter is ready he can take the advanced step that must be taken some time, in the near future. A vote for Comrade Thomas is a vote against the trusts. Is a vote for the co-operative commonwealth. Is a vote against any one living off of the labor of another, Is a vote in favor of the initiative and referendum and the right of recall. Is a vote in favor of every person receiving the-full products of their labor.

Geo. A. Wonderly would make a good coroner, the idea that you have to elect a doctor for. Coroner, is all foolishness, let us elect Wonderly. People who have had socialism explained to them by its enemies are surprised at the difference when it is explained to them by its friends.

You can not fool all the people all the time. Kings and Czars Small Fry, The "Financial Red Book of America" prints a list 'of 18,000 men of wealth. It lists every man in theUuited States, who, by reason of bis position and stock holdings, is known as a capitalist. These 18,000 men who in turn are dominated by the Rockefeller-Morgan group own over one hundred billions of the wealth of the nation. That means that less than one-tenth of one per cent of the population owns over 90 per cent of the wealth.

How insignificant appears the power of kings and czars and slave baroes when compared to these modern American industrial Do you. wonder that they fight, scheme, bribe and murder, to retain their footing? I do not. The wonder is that 80,000,000 sit supinely down and permit the game to continue. Ex. members.

All other parties are built downward from their leaders. The republican party is built downward from Roosevelt, the democratic party downward from The socialist party believes in the people ruling, and have built their party from the bottom up. As the party grows in strength, as it will, the lines will be more closely drawn and the constitution rigidly adhered to. For that reason every socialist should About the only representative the people have in the United States Senate is a fellow from Wisconsin by the name of La Follette, and calls himself a republican, when he gets up to speak the rest of the republican senators get up and walk out, but when the senator representing the standard oil, or the one representing the sugar trust or the senator for the steel trust or the one for the express companies or the railroads or any other of the trust representatives speak, the gang keeps their seats. La-Follette makes it too hot for them.

If you vote for Hoch and he is ejected you will be diappointed. If you vote for Harris and he is elected you will be disappointed. If any other, man were elected you would be disappointed.
