Munro seemed concerned. "He had

A half hour later Jim Dolan and two

The following platform, reported
by committee of which Rev. 0. j.
Bennett was chairman, was adopted:
FIRsT-We proclaim our allegiance to
the Socialist party of the United States
and affirm our unfaltering adherence to
the principles and the program Of Inter
national Revolutionary Socialism.
SECoND-That recognize the present
evil condition of our nation and the class
struggle, with the working class Or one
side and the capitalist class ON the other,
and that speedy efforts should be made at
once to bring about better condition.
THIRD-The Socialists Of San Juan coun
ty are principally property owners, yet
we realize the ever present danger of our
selves or our children being forced upon
the labor market, as cabbage and pota-
toes are upon the produce na:ket,
ashamed of the stupid, servile attitude of
farmers in general, and American farm
ers in particular. In furnishing armies
of military birelings on the one hand and
spineless scaDs on the other.
FoURTH-This class struggle between
the wealth makers and the wealth takers
will endure so long as our present system
of production for profit continues, and we
extend the right hama of comradeship to
the property wage workers of the world.
and demand that all the resources Of ma
tnre and all the tools Of production and
di tribution be made the common prop
erty Of all the people, tho same to be
socially administered as to secure to each
worker the entire product of his or her
labor.
FIFrH-We denounce the stupid vici-
business of the capitalist system where
nroduct ON is for sale instead of use, as
sanity would direct.
SIxTH-In conclusion, we appeal to all
workingmen to study the principles OF
Socialism and overthrow the power OF
capitalism, abolish industrial classes In
society, terminate the class struggle and
inaugurate the cooperative common
we nth, based upon this fundamental
principle of justice, and that men placed
upon the ticket shall stand squaerly upon
the principles.
