National Secretary Barnes sends out
the following regarding Idaho as a battle
ground in the present campaign:
81 have suggested to the Colorado
State committee that in the event Of a
special fund being raised, it should also
include Idaho.
"Idaho stood sixth to the top in the
roll of states, consiring the percentage
of socialist votes cast in the year 1904
"a new situation presents itself in the
political history of America, and links
these states together in equal impor-
tance. We find Comrade Haywood, a
marked victim by the capitalist class,
as a candidate for the gallows in Idaho,
and the chosen representative of the
working class, their candidate for gov
ernor of Colorado.
81 suggest the advisability of sending
a letter to every Trades and Labor or
ganization, calling attention to the pass
ing of the liberties of American citizen
ship, with the Colorado-Idaho conspiracy
unrebuked, and for definite resolutions
protesting against this crime committed
in the name, and by the officers of the
law. An opportunity should be pro-
vided to secure contributions to the cam
paign fund. The issue is clearly marked.
The political lineup is the capitalist
class against the working class.
"The Importance of this campaign
should be presented to every organiza-
tion of working men.
"The arrangements thus far made in
the national Office have been with a
view to equalize the assistance rendered
TO the states of Colorado and Idaho, all
of which is submitted for your consid.
eration.'
