ADDRESSES TO VOTERS.
Several addresses TO voters and working
committee consisting OF Henry Green,
Thomas +. Herrick and James Il. Reid,
with authority 10 have them printed and
distributed before election.
One address that was received with
much enthusiasm follows:
The Socialist Labor party OF Rhode
Island, in convention assembled, again
assert their loyalty to the cause of la
boris emancipation. With knowledge
born of experience we claim that this
must be the work or the
working class itself, organized in a politi-
cal party, conscious OF its right TO the
full product OF its TOLL and their might
to obtain IL.
1T is with regret that we note the ef-
forts Of a few capitalist tricksters To
exploit the growing feeling of the trade
OF the state that they must go
into politics.
True, the workers must go into poll
tics, but IL must be bona fide labor poll
tics IL they would better the conditions
of their class. The present Economic
league movement is nothing more than
tail to the Democratic kite. Were IL
successful no benefit 10 labor would ac-
crue, except we would be silly enough to
count as such the placing in political
sinecures OF a few of the more active
workers In the movement
"rhink of how ridiculous Il Is 10 ex-
pect anything from a party whose pri-
maries elect TO their committees scabs
and lawyers who act as agents for the
trusts in helping on in1unctions against
striking workingmen The labels that
wind jamming politicians cover them
selves with should not blind us TO the
character OF the party of which they arc
supporters.
ADVANCE OF SOCIALISM.
