DECLARE FOR SOCIALISM.
Great Labor Organizations viii Join in
Socialist Party.

Denver. June 4-Socialism as the
creed of an independent political labor
party has become an established fact.
The two great western labor organiza-
tions have adopted tlat-footed decla-
ration for this propaganda, and new
party will be launched in Colorado. g.
The Western Labor Union yesterday,
by n majority of four-tifths of its
membership. declared for socialism
and for Independent political action,
and this morning the miners conven-
ton will doubtless do the same.
In both conventions the debate lasted
all day. When the plan was adopted
in the Western Labor Union conven-
tion there was much cheering.
President Boyce's idea is to place
speakers all over the western field to
debate socialism and the farmers and
other classes are to be enlisted in sup
port of the reform. The movement Is
to be national and even international.
Behind the political program is de-
velopment which the American Fed
eratlsn of Labor see and appreciate
more keenly than the western leaders.
The program of socialism Is certain,
they admit. to find thousands of sup
porters among the laborlng men of the
East. President Gompers has stead
lily opposed socialism or any form OF
political action and the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor has kept Its million
members In complete political inactiv-
ity. The leaders fear that the East
will become restive ana join forces
with the radical West. The miners will
vote on the proposition this morning.
They also adopted the plan OF buying
ana operating mine and the insur-
nnce plan of President Boyce. They
intend to Invest 100000 In mine,
possibly ut Cripple Greek.

ATHLETES BEGIN WORK
Informal Opening of Y. M. G. A.
Gympasium-Many Improve
ments Have Been Made.

The informal opening of the Y. M. c. A.
gymnasium Monday night marks a very
decided advance in everything that per-
tains to the highest development of the
human body.
The gymnasium has been thoroughly
cleaned and new apparatus added which
makes it one of the most complete gym
nasiums in the west. The lockers have
all been painted. the swimming tank has
been repaired. and the showers have been
put in frst-class condition. A large steam
room will be added with a marble slab for
massage, which is one of the up-to date
machines for cleansing the system.
The physical directors office has been
put in thorough repair, so that physical
and medical examinations may be made
more scientifically. A large corps of medi-
cal and physical advisers will be on hand
all the time to prescribe for every weak
condition of the body.

tain all the trophies of the athletics. The

and members are giving their medals and
cups to be placed there on exhibition.
Mr.. Leighton will have charge Of the
boxing class. He is one of the best in
StructOrs in the country. A new class
rather in advance Of anything that has
ever been attempted before will be started
this fall and that is a class In bag punch
ing. This exercise is not only popular
with young men, but it has become a fad
with the New York girl, and, in fact,
great many Minneapolis women have
learned the art.
The class nights for men over 81 will be
Monday, Wednesday and Friday and for
young men under that age Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday nights. The stu
dents class will be Monday. Wednesday
and Friday afternoons at $3.50; business

MAKES SLOW PROGRESS
Guy M. Thompson Of Owatonna
Reaches Omaha on His Cycling
Trip to California.

Guy M. Thompson, who left Owatonna
recently on a cycling trip to Call

Omaha describing the incidents of his
ride.
AFTER a days rest in the metropolitan
little city of Fort Dodge, I started out
again in the afternoon of Aug. ~ on my
trip to California. The roads in this part
of Iowa were still impossible for bicy-
cles and I had to keep to the railroad
track Of course I found, a rule,
either too much or not enough ballast on
than half the time. After stopping at
Rockwell City on Wednesday night, Wall
Lake Thursday night, Denison Friday
night and Dunlap Saturday night, I
reached the station of Rode at about 6
o'clock Sunday afternoon. Here farmer
told me the road to Omaha, distance of
about 81 miles, was in good shape and I
jumped at the chance to leave the rail-
road track. +
II found the road quite good and all
went we'll till the carbide in my bicycle
lamp was exhausted. The road was
rather hily and as it was about II
o'clock at night and no moon, had to
walk This grew tiresome after awhile,
so I concluded to try to ride again.
got along all right till coasted down a
hill and at the bottom struck gully and
took header over the handlebars. I was
not hurt, but when I came to pick my
wheel up found the front rim broken
and the spokes badly twisted.
II couldn't find any place near to stop
for the night and as my wheel and lug
gage was too much Of a load to carry for
any distance had to camp for the night
in the shadow Of a telephone pole, with
my rubber poncho for a covering
In the morning I carried my wheel a

breakfast and a ride for myself and

Tommy Ryan, champion middleweight

his fight with kid Carter, which takes
place at Fort Erie on Sept. Is. Tommy,

Carter raped him pretty hard in their

THINKS G0PHERS EASY
Manager Fitzpatrick Of Wisconsin

Manager Charles Fitzpatrick, of Wisconsin,
is suffering from a severe attack Of the pride
which, according to the old proverb, immedi-
ately precedes sudden and precipitous STUN
Bile. In recent conversation with a Mime
apolis man, Fitzpatrick expressed the opinion that
the game with Minnesota this year was an i'm
mortal cinch. He voiced his belief that the
gophers would be the easiest kind of easy
proposition, and that the game with Michigan
was the only contest on Wisconsins schedule In
regard to which there any doubt.
The Minnesota rooters declare themselves per-
fectly satisfied to have Fitzpatrick think anything
he pleases before the game is played.

Chicago, which looked strong a fort
night ago, now appears unlikely to make
much of a showing. Jimmie Henry, the
slippery halfback, who was expected to
return. has decided to take up coaching.
Carey, the veteran quarter, will be as
sistant coach instead Of member of the
eleven. Gardiner, a star fullback in 1897,
who was counted on to fill out the back
field, has written that he will be in
college but that he will not be eligible

Northwestern has lost five veterans, in

men. Iowa loses few men, and Knipe' 9
men will fight to the last ditch when they
meet Minnesota.
They Fear Nebraska.
The gopher players have wholesome
respect for the prowess of the Nebraska
team, and more than one has been heard
to express the wish that the game with
the prairie dogs was over. Last year. say
the Minnesota men, Nebraska had a very
strong team, and it was impossible for
the gophers to pick a spot in the line or
outside Of it where they could count on a
gain. AS Booth has raised the standard
Of football so rapidly in the two years he
has had charge at Nebraska, it Is fair to
