SOCIAL DEMOCRACY.
State Convention Decides to Avoid
Political Entanglements.

The Kansas branch of the Social
Democracy held a state convention in
the office of G. C. Clemens at the state
house last night. Twelve COUNTIES were
represented by delegates, and local Or
CARNATIONS that were unable to send
delegates were represented by proxy
by members Of the Topeka branch.
Officers were elected and a resolution
adopted advocating the furtherance of
the principles of the organization with
absolute disregard to political parties.
This resolution was drawn up by Mr..
Clemens, and in reference to it he said:
L am opposed to Debs' idea of mix
ing socialism with politics, and mean to
attend the national convention in Chi
cagO and talk against it. Our only OBJ
ject should be to advance the principles
Htical affiliations, and we should work
with one party just as well as with an
other. If the principles of Social De
mOcracy are to succeed the skirts of the
from politics.
The resolution adopted reads as fol-
lows:
We, the members of the state union of
the Social Democracy of Kansas, hereby
pledge ourselves to labor to the utmost
of our energies, individually and collec-
lively, for the adoption by the several
political parties of the state of uncOn-
promising declarations of sOcialstic
principles in their state platforms.
We believe that in Kansas the Social
Democracy should first devote all it's
energies and it's means to spreading
socialism and building up a strong or
ganization. We propose to befriend no
political party, offend none; excite no
needless antagonism; but preach social
ism through all parties, and through
labor organizations, educational inStitu-
tiOns and churches, and devote our en-
ergies to this work and to organizing
the socialists of the state into the Social
Democracy.
We believe that it will be disastrous
to the cause of socialism should the ma
tionaI convention of the Social Democ-
racy attempt to prepledge the organiZa-
ton to any definite, irrevocable, iron
clad course as relates to political party
action.
In the election of officers Mr.. G. G.
Clemens was elected chairman, Mr..
Louis MatingnOn of Scranton, state or
ganiZer, and Mr.. Geo. B. Harrison, sec
rotary. Mr.. G.. c. Clemens and Mr.. Geo.
B. Harrison will both probably attend
the national convention in Chicago.

It's report to General Flagler. Chief OF Ordnance
The purpose of the board was to secure informa-
ton direct from officers who commanded troops IN
action as to the respective merits OF the various
arms used and obtain any suggestions they might
lave to make regarding improvements and changes
that would make the arms more effective
The report shows that the S2-inch field guns are
satisfactory in every way. The fuses were ar
ranged so as to cause the bursting Of shrapnel
Al the range desired and the important features
which make field guns successful were found IN
those used at Santiago
The Board also reports favorably on the krag-
Jorgensen arm for the infantry and cavalry. No
fault is found with the Springfield rife. except that
smOkeless powder would be much better. Smoke
less powder is also found desirable for the held
guns. 49,. 49,. .,ono
