Michigan and Wilson of agriculture from

A TICKET AND PLATFORM.
Socialist Labor Party Goes Through All
the Notions.

A state convention of the Socialist
Labor party was held last night at Slade
Hall and the following platform was
adopted:
The Socialist-Labor party of Rhode
Island. acknowledging tho sclf-evident
fact that labor creates all wealth. and that
the instruments of production are the
result Of social cooperation, declares these
basic truths arising therefrom as its plat
form
"That the proceeds of all wealth created
should be distributed equitably among
the actual producers. and that the in
strumcnts of production should be the
property of society.
"That the capitalist class, by controll-
ing the political power appropriates TO
themselves the greater part of the pro-
duct of labor, and possess themselves OF
the tools of production, and this causes
all the iniquitics from which the work
ing class now suffer.
THAT TO secure the product of labor
and the machinery of production to their
rightful owners, the working class must
unite at the polls, withdraw the political
power from the capitalist class, retain
it i'm their own hands and institute the
Cooperative COMMONWEALTH en-
ployment of themselves by themselves " 4
The nominations are: For Governor,
Franklin Il. Burton of Providence; for
lieutenant governor Bernard j. Murray
of Providence; for secretary of state,
James jefferson of Johnston; for state
treasurer, Frederick j, Frank of Provi-
dence; for attorney general, John Devlin
of Providence.

The process is the discovery of Chassagne,
