County Socialist Platform.


Below The Times today pub
fishes the Socialist ticket and
platform:
Representatives, John S. Bur-
rell, Logan.
Member of Board of Super
visors, M. j. Burkhart, Mis-
souri, Valley.
Treasurer, ID. Ehrhardt, Lo-
gan.

Whereas we the Socialist
Party of Harrison County in
convention assembled, believe
that the private ownership of
the means of production, and
distribution by the capitalist
class is responsible for the ex-
ploitation and consequent mis-
cry and poverty of the working
class, and
Whereas this private owner
ship of the means of livelihood
and this exploitation of the
working class (the producing
class) by the capitalists class
(the non-producing class) has
given rise to an irrepressible
conflict between these two
classes, and
Whereas the capitalist class
is aided in this struggle by its
possession of the powers of
government, and the opinion
forming agencies press, pull
pit and school, and
Whereas all these powers
are used in promoting the
economic interests of the rul-
ing capitalist class at the ex-
pense of the working class, and
Whereas we believe that the
workers can become victorious
in this class struggle only by
capturing the powers of gov
ernment and administering
them in their own interest
through class concious political
action.
Therefore be it resolved that
we ask the working producing
class of Harrison County, and
those in sympathy with it to
join us in the demands of the
national platform of the social
ist party and the state plat
form of the socialist party
of Iowa for the overthrow of
capitalism and the establish
ment of the cooperative COM
monwealth which will end the
class struggle and its attendant
horrors, and assure to all work
ers the full product of their
labor.

Golden wed,lln9.


AS if in sympathy with the
celebration of the Golden We'd
ding of DIR. and Mrs. A. White,
old Dame Nature put on her
most smiling visage, the air
was soft and hazy, the sun
shone beamingly and the day
was the most charming that
Autumn ever bestows. The
home on Erie street was Law
ishly prepared for the event.
The colors of the decorations
were gold and white. The en-
blems used were sickles and
sheaves of golden wheat. Aut-
umn leaves lent their rich COL
o,ings most effectively. The
doorways, chandeliers and Win
dows were beautifully fes-
tooned with interviewer vines
and flowers. The bride and
groom of fifty years ago re-
ceived their friends in the
large window in the south par
lor, which was charming with
draperies and floral decorations.
Mrs. Mamie Cloud, second
daughter of this marriage, well
coined the guests at the door,
and Mrs. e. T. Giddings ar
nounced each arrival. The re-
ception was the gayest imagin-
able and the large rooms were
crowded during the afternoon
and evening. About three
hundred friends and acquain-
tances offering congratulations
and good wishes between the
hours Of four and nine o'clock.
The numbers cited upon the
little program card which ac-
companied the invitations were
all given in a delightful man
ner. In addition to these Miss
Josephine Harmon sang beauti-
fully and Miss Jennie Hefin
gave a couple of choice read
ings. The dining room, where
refreshments were served, was
a symphony in gold and white.
The table center-piece was a
huge boquet of yellow flowers,
from which radiated spray bo-
quets of green and yellow. Mrs.
Geo. A. Kellogg and Miss Jessie
Brandriff presided at the coffee
urns. The favors were white
sickles containing appropriate
quotations, and tiny sheayes Of
wheat, attached with yellow
ribbons. AS the guests left the
dining room they were con-
Quoted to the library, where an
alcove of pure white, adorned
with autumn leaves, was
formed, and where upon a table
stood an immense white cake
heavily slated with icing and
baked by the bride herself. The
fair attendants, who were
garbed in white, gave a gener-
GUS slice to each guest and di-
rected their attention to the
devise which bore the inscrip-
tion, "Perchance to dream"
which was suspended over
their heads. In compliance
with the custom of fifty years
ago and at the request of the
bride each guest was furnished
with a stick of sugar candy.
The entire evening was one of
delight. Many handsome pres
ents were displayed and about
half past seven o'clock, Rev. ].
MacAllister, pastor of the Pres
byterian church, Epresented DR..
and Mrs. White with seventy
eight dollars in gold in behalf
of a number Of friends in Mo.
