LaborIne Men Responsible

While he deplores the fact that the
affairs of the country are conducted
by the capitalists. he said the trouble
lies directly with the laboring people
for allowing this state of affairs to
exist. He said the voters had become
accustomed to allowing someone to
dictate as to how they should vote
and i'm this manner they hurt their
own cause. and that when man from
the ranks of working men would de-
clare himself for Office. his fellow
workmen would support someone
from the ranks of the capitalists rath-
er than one who might help to remedy
the condition of the laboring class.
Mr.. Strickland said that congress
was made up of millionaires and their
representatives who fostered trusts
and kept the workingmen in state
of Servitude.
The speaker advocated socialism as
the remedy for existing conditions
and urged his hearers TO be socialists
all the time and to talk it to their
fellow laborers and to buy literature
for them if need be in order to start
them to thinking on the subject.
shonId Own Industries
Mr.. Strickland took it for granted
that the audience was made up of
socialists who understood the doe
tPines of socialism. as he failed to
bring out the principles on which the
party stood more than than to state
that the laboring men should be part
owners in the Industries. He said
that the workingmen who create
wealth should own their positions and
not be compelled to ask the capital
lists for a position which lines the cof-
fers of the magnates with gold. The
speaker did not state how the social
lists hoped to bring about this result.
