Women In Contest
The most interesting contest for the
nominations were between Mrs. Bad
ger, Mrs. Prudence G. Brown of Pas
adena and Mrs. Mary e. Gardner of
Los Angeles for superintendent of
schools. The women, under the laws
of the state could not be admitted as
delegates to the convention, but the
| friends of each rallied to the support
of their respective candidates when
nominations were made for the only
office which could be filled by wom-
an. Mrs. Badger was nominated on
the first ballot.
The platform adopted affirms the
principles of International socialism as
set forth in the national platform of
the Socialist party of America. 1t ex-
presses belief in municipal ownership
of utilities now operated by public
franchise corporations; prohibition OF
child labor: compulsory eight-AouI
day; abolition of the strike injunction
graduated taxation of incomes; free
text books.
1t declares that these are only SUI
perficial and that the relief of the
American laborer and producer OF
wealth can only be accomplished by
the complete overthrow of the cap
italistic system of industry and the
substitution thereof of a fraternal
democratic collectivism, based upon
the social ownership of means of pro-
duction.
THE interests Of the laborer and the
capitalist" declares the platform, "are
utterly opposed and eternally hostile
and no peace can be permanently es-
tablished between them except the
peace of final conquest"
After a long discussion the conven-
ton refused to commit itself between
the /. w. w. and the A. r. L., but the
consensus was that members of labor
organizations should join the Social
ist party before taking part in poll.
