Why Vote Fell Off i'm Massachusetts

Massachusetts, was one ofthe states
where the Socialist vote dropped off
in the late election, and the follow
ing article which will be deeply in
teresting to the western comrades,
was written by Geo. Roewer Jr., to
the New York Worker. 1t not only
sounds the slogan as to why the vote
fell off but offers fine suggestions as
to what the Socialists should do.
Comrade Roewer sure has the prop
osition sized up right on the "whoop
'er up campaign" idea. 1t will not
work with Socialism. He says:
Before we can say what's to be
done" in Massachusetts, to rebuild
our organization and to assure the
vote Massachusetts ought to poll for
Socialism, / shall say, first, what
has got to be stopped" if we would
succeed. / mean 10 speak plainly.
In the organization and outside we
must stop playing" politics. In the
strongholds of the Socialist party in
this state everything is quiet until a
month or two weeks before election;
then commences a "hurrah cam
paign." This may elect some petty
officials, but it is far from being the
duty or method of a good Socialist
organization.
We must stop merely looking for
votes; we must make Socialists and
Montana news. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1904-191?, 1904-11-23

and even belong to the party; but if
he does not read he will never know
the real purpose of the organization
to which he belongs, and he will
consequently follow and idolize any
good" fellow that comes along. l
mean to speak plainly. know for
a positive fact that if the majority of
the rank and file of Massachusetts
understood why they are in the So
cialist party, not few of our speak
ers would be unable to get a nights
lodging-not because they can not
speak, or are insincere, but because
the subject is entirely foreign to
them.
The rank and file must educate
themselves. The immediate move
to be made is to call a club confer
ence, sometime around the first of
December, to discuss ways and
means of building up the organiza-
tion. A hustling, live, permanent
secretary should be elected, and then
all comrades to work.
The comrades in the state must
read party papers. | can say from
experience, and many other organiz-
ers will agree with me, that wherever
/ have found any considerable num-
ber of subscribers for the Worker, /
have always found good organiza-
ton and we'll informed comrades.
Montana news. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1904-191?, 1904-11-23

the vote will surely follow.
Still further, our so-called intel
lectuals" must subdue their individ-
uality to some extent and devote a
little more attention to the organiza-
ton. Men who have ability should
not only be kind enough to favor us
with few campaign speeches and
then return to their homes; if they
have ability, let them show il by ap-
plying their wisdom to effective par
ty work. This work is clean and it
must be done. They should also
understand that they are not the
movement, and that the movement
will be healthy only when each men,
Der assumes some responsibility.
The democrats and republicans may
neeed leaders, but our strength lies
in an enlightened, self-reliant rank
and file. This we must have.
Moreover, men with more money
than brains, should not debauch the
Socialist party, for the purpose of
gaining cheap notoriety and being
made idols of We have no time for
idolizing.
Then, what's to be done7 Moth
ing else but education and organiza-
ton. Organization without educa-
ton is ineffective, but education will
inevitably lead to organization.
A man may call himself Socialist

Chicago, Nov. I7.-If the deter
mination of the leaders in the strike
of the furniture teamsters is carried
out one of the bitterest fights that
has taken place in recent years in
the local labor world is predicted.
Today 20 teamsters went out 40
more have been called out for to-
morrow, and other teamsters may
be called out for a sympathetic
strike. Frederick Job, manager of
the Chicago employers association
said today, 1T looks as if this
strike would spread, and we will
fight it to a finish" The point at
issue with the furniture drivers is the
refusal of the employers to sign con-
tracts with them. There is no ques-
ton of wages involved.

The more copies of the Worker are
placed in Massachusetts,, the strong.
er our party will grow. This is from
hard experience.
We must not overlook the fact that
the state committee entered this cam
paign with heavy debt and this, of
course, handicapped us. Yet. the
individual clubs have done much
work; but it was scattered, not or
ganized, and hence, not effective.
Another thing we must do is 10
reach the organized labor movement
In New York, Chicago, Milwaukee,
and all other centers of Socialist
strength, you will find that the move
ment is in close communion with the
trade unions. We must do likewise.
We cannot get trade unionists into
the party unless we prove to them
that in Socialism lies theironly hone.
They will not come first to us; we
must go to them. In Boston the
trade union movement and the So
cialist movement are just about as
far apart as the north and south
poles. This again shows the general
lack of knowledge as to the real pur-
pose and line of work of the Social.
ist party.
