Harry M. Mckee. national lecture for socialism, who has been speakinf in this city for several days. closed his series of meetings last nigh.. by or ganizing a local. He. says. there are now over 250 socialist votes in Bisbee and that by the next election the mum Der will be doubled. MT. Mckee is
 making a lecture and organization tour through Arizona. having nelt meetings. all through the north of lne Territory and perfected organization of the party.
 He has organized over a score oi locals, and states that the party now has local in every important towr and many Of the smaller ones.
 His meetings in Bisbee nave beer large and enthusiastic, and last night despite the fact that a circus was in town, he had the largest audience oi the series. Dozens of questions were propounded, and his clear and concise and at the same time eminently fair handling of all questions won the unanimous applause of the audience and demonstrated his thorough mas tery of his theme
 MT. Mckee has won the respect of even those who think they are oppos. ed to socialism. He has, by his au- herence to policy indicating nothing but the best of feeling toward those opposed to his doctrine, won for so- cialism victory which can not help bringing to it's followers the good will of all, no matter may be his belief. The dignified manner in which he pre- scented his subject to his hearers, ap- solutely free from effrontery or insult, characterized each of his addresses 70 Bisbee audiences.
 He says socialism has no quarrel with persons. but with the wage sys- tenn, which makes men selfish. He says the inequalities of the present day are the result of false economic system which permits the man or group of men who are endowed with the one faculty Of fnanciers, to get control of the means by which a. must live.
 He characteriZes the wage system as the hog trough" method of feed ing ourselves: that it is incompatible that even the strenuous Teddy" de- clares in his message that the present methods are no longer adequate ,o cope with the new conditions result ing from modern machinery and con- centration of capital in private hands. destroy capital. but would have capi- tai collectively-not privately-own- ed. The trust is a good thing, the latest and best improved machine for producing and distributing wealth. and the bigger the trust the better, but that the people must own the trust. .''f
 He defines socialism as the collec- tive ownership by the entire people of all the means Of producing the means of life, democratically admin istered by the producers, so that the more abundant wealth flood. clothing and shelter) resulting from co-opera- tive industry may be justly distriOut- ed so all who are willing to work in proportion to the service rencsred i'll the process of production.
 Socialism" he says, insists on more private property and opposes the present system which, while based upon the private ownership of every thing. renders it impossible to have enough private property" Sixty-fv per cent of the people, he says are propertyless. The collect i've ownership of those industries that are used collectively-such as rail roads, coal fields, factories, etc, and the private ownership of those things that are used individually, such as clothes, household effects, etc, should be in the hands of the people.
 The speaker called attention 10 the phenomenal growth of socialism, not tiops of Europe. He states that there are now in the world over 10000, ,0G0 votes for socialism, and that in this country socialism will poll 1000 900 votes nexe year, and elect president within ten years.
 There is 10 denying that MT. Mckee has made a stir in Bisbee. and set hun dreds to thinking and studying on the subject. He leaves this morning for Douglas. where he is to deliver two addresses. He is also to speak in Tucson, Palomas and Yuma, and then return 10 California, where he holds the position of state
