successors chosen, subject to the gem
eral vote of the party,"-or at least that
the general vote would settle all ques-
lions of authority; but recent events
dispel the illusion. The deposed ring,
instead of submitting to the general
vote and seeking through it any justi-
fication they may have felt entitled to-,
promptly open a new office issue a
new official organ, declare themselves
the only bona fide committee and call
for their supporters to rally around
them with the result that the party is
now split into hostile factions neither
having jurisdiction over the other, and
with no court of appeal.
Two national committees, two official
organs inimical to each other, and two
national treasurers trying to collect
dues.
Such is the present condition-the
logical result of its past action-reason
enough why no self-respecting person
should Join it,
That the party has sunk too low to
reform itself is evidenced by the res
olutions passed by the Massachusetts
state committee and published the 18th
inst.
To be brief and sum up again. The
socialist labor party as a party shows
by the intolerant and abortive tactics
to which it clings, that it has degener-
ated, to the condition of a lamentable
farce, that 1t is incapable of managing
itself, and that it is an obstacle in the
path of social, economic and political
progress.
Third. Reasons for the existence of
the social democratic party: There is
an unquestionable demand for a So
cialist party tempered with common
sense, one that can, while advocating
socialism in it's entirety, apply itself
intellligently to the affairs of today, a
party which stands for social progress
and harmony instead of dis
Indignation and discord, a par
ty capable of presenting its prin-
ciples without bringing them into dis
repute, and which can attract and util-
ize the ablest and sincerest advocates
of social advancement instead of re-
pelling them.
To guard the movement against the
treachery of imposters who would will
fully cause its downfall, and in short
to carry on the sacred struggle for in
dustrial justice which its predecessor
has shown itself incompetent and I'M
worthy to conduct

LITTLETON-K OBEL.
! Brilliant Wedding a
Sacred Heart Church
Yesterday.

Stephen F. Littleton and Miss Eliza
beth F. kobel, prominent young people
of Sacred Heart parish were married
yesterday forenoon by Rev. Bernard S.
Conaty. The ceremony took place at
a nuptial high mass at . o'clock at
the Church of the Sacred Heart.
The church was prettily decorated
inside the sanctuary rail and the altar,
being very imposing in its simplicity,
with few rare flowers, and the can
dies burning brightly. The church was
crowded with the friends and relatives
of the contracting parties long before
the hour set for the ceremony, and
they were shown their seats by the fol-
lowing ushers: DR.. ]. F. Smith, M. ].
Leyden, NJ. j, Flaherty and Fred Lamb.
The marriage ceremony preceded the
nuptial mass, and the bridal party,
headed by the ushers, proceeded down
the main aisle to the music of the Lo-
hengrin wedding march. The bride
was attended by Miss Nellie Cream,
while William B. Connor a cousin of
the groom, performed like service for
side the sanctuary rail. The effect of
the ceremony was heightened by the
presence of 20 altar boys robed in white
SUPPLIES and soutanes.
After the marriage, the couple par
ticpated in the services that followed,
and received the holy eucharist. At
the closing of the mass, FIR. Conaty
gave the happy couple his blessing.
The bride was attired In gown of
white mousseline de soie en- traine,
carrying a set of mother of pearl rosary
beads and a white pearl prayer book,
the gift of the groom. She also wore
long veil, with a crown of sweet peas
and maiden hair The bridesmaids
gown was of lavender silk muslin, with
a deep yoke of white chiffon, picture
hat of lemon chiffon, with long scarf
ends. Both bride and maid carried
bouquets of sweet peas.
A wedding breakfast, followed by a
reception, was held at the home of the
brides parents at the corner of Glad
stone and Littleton streets. Mr.. and
and Mrs Littleton left on the O'Clock
train for a wedding trip to the Adiron-
dacks, where they will be for several
weeks. Upon their return, they will
be at home to their friends at their flu
ture home, 10 Riverside street. The
young people received many presents
from friends. Mr.. Littleton is one Of
the youngest members of the Worces-
ter county bar, and is associated with
Col. w. A. Gle in the State Mutual
building. He was formerly Connected
with Rt. Rev. Mgr. Thomas ]. Conatav
as editor of the Catholic School and
Home Magazine.

Candidacy of ''Doe''
Is Not Received
With Favor.
REPUBLICANS HAVE A MEMORY
Certain Methods Formerly
Employed Have No Abid-
ing Place Here.

Spencer, Aug. 1.-The announcement
in a Worcester paper-not The Spy
this morning, to the effect that A. E
Smith Of Cherry Valley was a possible
candidate for senatorial honors, and If
unsuccessful in landing the senatorial
nomination, he would make a bid for
that of representative, causes great
amusement among republican politi-
clans in Spencer.
The way in which A. E. Smith caused
the split in the republicans ranks last
wear is well remembered, and there is
not republican in Spencer but what
would rather have some other candl-
date than A. E. Smith.
While Mr.. Smith is one Of the best
politicians in the district, the fact can
not be long concealed that if Mr.. Smith
tries to land the senatorial nomination,
he will not get a single vote from the
Spencer delegates.
The local reporter for The Spy called
upon one of the foremost republicans
in Spencer today, who does not wish
his name mentioned in any way In con-
nection with the fight for senatorial
one moment dreams of landing the sem
atorial nomination of the republicans
of the fourth district, he will get the
worst defeat that he ever suffered.
While Mr. Smith might have the solid
support of the republicans of the town
of Leicester, he must remember that
there are % other towns in this district,
and that he could not expect to swing
all of these into his camp.
1.-THE insinuations Of the Leicester
politicians are simply absurd as to
Spencer having knitted the regular re-
publican nominee for representative
last year. The republicans of Spen-
Ger did their best to elect the republic
can candidate, but were up against
fearful odds in the person of Eugene
d. Marchesseault, who was backed by
450 or 500 solid voters from the society
of which he was president
Now, II the Leicester republicans are
determined to work against Spencer
man securing The nomination, they will
have to work day and night, as Spen-
Ger republicans are determined to either
land Spencer man or a Paxton man
for representative. The way that Lei
cester politicians managed affairs last
year is enough for Spencer.
When 1t comes to senatorial honors,
you may be certain that no Leicester
man will ever land the nomination.
Either a Spencer man or George L..
