Addressed to the State Secretaries

Dear Comrades-The consideration
given to the pending congressional
campaign and finances for the same
by the national executive committee
at its recent meeting resulted in the
following action and recommendations
"The congressional elections this
year promise to be the most important
that the country has had for many
years, and the Socialist party will be
factor in these elections in proper.
tion to its ability TO take advantage
of the opportunities which are gain
ing in number every day. We, there
fore, deem the raising of funds for
the congressional campaign of the ut
most Importance, and we believe the
entire party should prepare to be e.
nancially equipped for the struggle.
"In keeping with this we recon-
mend that call be issued to all
party members and sympathizers to
give an amount equal to one days
wages in July toward the congression-
al campaign fund; one.third of the
amount thus raised TO be retained by
the locals; one.third by the state or.
ginizations, and one-third to be remit
tel to the national office. Where there
are no state organizations, one-half Of
the amount to be retained by the locals
and one-half remitted to the national
offee.
"In this connection we would point
out that the perpetual campaign cou.
pons gotten out by the national Office
last year have not received the sup
port which their efficiency as a meas
ure Of raising funds for the party
warrants. The perpetual campaign
coupons are gotten up in a style which
makes it easy to collect funds in large
or small amounts for party purposes

RESOLUTIONS OF GREAT FALLS

In regard 10 the kidnapping and i'm
prisonment of Meyer, Haywood and
Pettibone, charged with the murder
OF Ex-Governor Steunenberg, and be-
ing cognizent of the absolute disre-
garl Of the mineowners association
for law, justice and decency, and the
unsavory reputation of the Pinkerton
detective, Mcfarland, compared with
the noble characters Of the officials
Of the Western Federation of Miners,
we desire to make the following state
ments:
j. We direct attention to the fact
that the w. +. of M. ever since their
existance have been opposed and per-
secuted by their economic masters. The
events of dire labor troubles of recent
years are quite fresh as yet in the
public mind.
2. We request due consideration Of
the fact that the murder of Steunen
berg could not have helped the miners,
and that il they wanted to commit
murder that they would have more
likely murdered ex-Goxernor Peabody,
Sherman Bell, Bulky Well, and others
who have tried their patience to the
sorest limits.
8. We submit to all fair-minded peo-
pie Of the land the question whether
il was probable or wise of experienced
labor leaders, such as Meyer and Hay
wood. to commit crimes, which from
any point of view could only work
harm to them and their cause. Where
as, on the other hand, many previous
attempts have been made by the mine

The Union Sentinel, the Pennsylvania
socialist paper, recommends the plan
of series Of meetings for all speakers.
We would say that Montana has EN-.
ployed this plan for several years. The
editor has insisted on this plan in her
own work for the last FIVE OF six years.
Star routing is absolutely of no use in
the socialist movement except with
special speakers on big occasions. The
first meetings advertise the others. II
takes almost half a dozen lectures TO
develop the subject and the series Of
meetings is the only method that win
do the work and get the results.

Member of Butte Party Expelled

The Socialist Party Of Montana has
recently been called upon to 20 through
the trying ordeal of exposing the per-
fidity Of one Of its associates, and ex-
pei him from the ranks of the organ
lied revolutionary movement. The
traitor is Nels Peterson, a member of
Local Butte, and who, this winter, was
sent out at his own request to do some
work for the party. The trouble came
up in connection with the election edi.
tions of the News. Peterson was the
secretary of the city central CON-
mittee that had the matter in charge.
The money did not come to settle the
bills, and an investigation was made.
Secretary Graham sent a registered
letter to Petersen, but he refused to
take IL from the Office. Comrade Gra-
ham then made trip to Butte to look
into the matter as about $75 was in
volved. Petersen refused to talk to
him at all, even leaving the local
openly.
The local ordered him to come be-
fore them and report, but he never ap-
peared. It transpired that he had col.
lected at least $12 on advertising that
he did not turn In. The News bill is
still unpaid although the Butte local
is gradually making II mp.
Because Of these circumstances Local
Butte expelled Petersen, and the Local
Quorum has taken the following action;

THE RECALL.

One of the greatest aids to secure
to the people favorable legislation is
the initiative and referendum. The
operation Of that principle in lawmak.
ing would be pure democracy. An.
other lever in the hands of the people
is the recall. II is the recall that will
be the most serviceable within the en-.
suing few years.
This government of the people by
the politicians for the capitalists is
not democratic government in which
the people have direct voice in max
ing laws. II is a representative gov.
eminent by Legislators holding dele
gative powers conferred by the con
stituency, and until the masses become
quickened to a realization Of the power
they hold in the ballot box and then
demand and make use Of the initiative
and referendum, laws will be made by
their supposedly representatives In the
halls Of the Legislature, the lobbies Of
which are filed with suiking bribers,
peering with trained eyes for the open
hand Of the thieving "servants Of the
people"
It is for this reason that the recall
is an imperative, immediate necessity
to insure the voters the mastery over
their delegates IL is an immediate,
indispensable necessity. "''. t'''

on the members Of the w. F. of NJ,
and although they had the Judiciary
on their side, the record showes only
failures to convict them.
In conclusion, we repeat, that we
are not in sympathy with crime, legal
or illegal, but demand fair dealings,
and that no man be pronounced guilty
until he is proved guilty.
Be II Therefore Resolved, That we,
the members of the Socialist party Of
Great Falls, condemn such highhanded
and unscrupulous actions of the mine
owners association, and Governors Me-
Donald and Gooding, and extend our
heartfelt sympathy TO our imprisoned
comrades and pledge to them our NOR
al and financial help and support.

Henry Seton Merriman.
We have at hand your letter Of April

As q specimen Of the abject, servile,
unmanly attitude to which honest
workingmen can descend, it is a gem.
From beginning to end there is not
q single demand in it. From beginning
TO and there Is nothing but the whine
Of the coward and the supplication of
the slave to his master, supplication
which labor has always found "inef-
fective," insufficient" "without re-
sults," and Gin vain" t' '.
Eor years, organized labor has been
begging and supplicating at the feet
Of organized capital, and always "in

ration in the lot Of the working class
has been met by the ruling class with
subterfuge, evasion or downright in
suit. And why mott No one has any
respect for beggar.
For the attitude which organized Ia
Dor has, in the past, assumed towards
organized capital, reminds one Of the
fear Of the lion for the mouse. Imag-
inc some ordinary, weakly 13O pound
man and James J. Jeffries being ship
wrecked together on an island on
which there was only one spring. Mr..
Jeffries yanks the little fellow out of
the water, and while he is busy saving
some of the wreckage, the little fellow
wanders about, and finds the spring.
When Mr.. Jeffries comes along, tired
out and thirsty, the little fellow says:
"This spring is mine.'' Now, Just
imagine Mr.. Jeffries getting down on
his knees and begging the little fellow
for drink Of water. The feeling of
contempt which the little fellow would
have for Mr.. Jeffries. would be like
that which must have been felt for

certain rights are to revert to the

they are providing no return to the

one section of the country to another
for one-half of what other men have

Senator Dolliver of Iowa has been
talking against socialism at a Y. NJ. c.
A. mass meeting at Jersey City. He
says, "Those of my acquaintanees who
have reached this desired heaven are
either dead-heads OF wards of govern
ment institutions" The senator GER
tainly makes frank confession; dead
head and parasite himself, supported
by the government, the people he knows
are mostly of the same stripe. Funny
ism I il, that all the big political guns
are opposed to socialism, They are
just that way in Russia. They are
afraid of losing a mighty soft job.
And these lying saints are always aim
ing to make their shots before some
kind of a religious crowd. They Judge
rightly that if they can just keep the
shackles of superstition upon the peo-
pie they will have a powerful ally
against the reception of the scientific
truths of socialism. They remember
that the church has opposed the law Of
gravitation, and the Copernicus theory,
and Kepler's laws, and the progress Of
woman. But it won't work now, Mr..
Dolliver, Capitalism has at least
brought us individual initiative.

earnest trade unionists, with clear, un-
blemished, paid up union cards in their
possession"
A hostile democratic governor dis.
rupted organized labor in Idaho. A
hostile republican governor over-rode
all constitutional rights, established
martial law, and bull pens, in, and de.
ported union miners from Colorado,
while an Indifferent president (indif-
ferent to the woes of labor) looked on
in silence. At the behest of the Man
ayers Association, democratic pres
ident sent the federal troops into Chi
cago to crush organized labor, and at
the call Of the mine owners, a repub-
lican president sent troops into Ari-
zona to aid the mine owners in violat-
ing the eight hour law.
Have you, Mr.. Gompers, ever ad'
vised organized labor to "administer
a singing rebuke" to the republican
and democratic parties or to President
Rooseveltf
In 1900, and again in 1904, there was
in these United States candidate for
president who was generally known as
an "intelligent, honest, earnest, trade
unionist." He has for many years,
we believe, had in his possession a
"clear, unblemished, paid up union
card" Did you, Mr.. Gompers, work
for or advocate the election Of this
mani Or did you advise organized Ia
Dor to scab at the ballot box and vote
for the candidates of the parties from
which you have for years been beg
ging "in vain"
Had one-half the money which has
been expended by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor in lobbying at the
feet of your capitalistic masters in
congress, been used to secure the cleo
tion Of ss-conscious, union men, we
would have compelled organized
labor to be respected in our legis'
lative halls. Protest against the Taft
Vale decision in England was Sin
vain" until the workers elected mem
bers of their own class to parliament.
But the past is gone. You are older
now, and, perhaps, wiser. We hope
that you will learn sooner or later
that there is no such thing as "im-
partial judiciary" that so long as
corporate wealth supplies the golden
food that floats the Office seeker to sue
cess, just so long will corporate wealth
control the actions of its agents.
Whenever organized labor will or
ganize at the ballot box, elect to Of
fee, members of the working class,
paid by the working class, pledged to
working class principles, then, and not
till then, can We expect legislation in
favor of the working class, and have
hopes that will not be "in vain.''
