RePresentatiye-lH n Elliott
Socialist speaking at Liberty school
house by H II. Elliott, Monday even
ing, October 8.
Socialists stand for electing all Of
ficialS by the individual voter, who al
ways holds the power in his hand to
initiate a referendum vote for his re-
call, which referendum is referred to
all the voters, to decide, whether an
people rule the representative, not the
| officer rule the people. 1t absolutely
shuts out all graft, and forces an Of
/ ficer to comply with the desire OF his
constituents
BY oversight the following questions
were not answered last week:
/ 1. Three or four weeks ago you told
US that socialism taught municipal,
/ state and national ownership. Septem-
| Der IA, you say, I'VE do not teach
either municipal or state ownership"
How does it come you contradict your
self this way?
! August Path the ''Parson'' wrote an
! editorial, The Republic and the So
| cialist Column" In his article he
stated: Socialism is a branch Of po-
/ litical economy which teaches the ex-
/ tending Of the rule Of the people in
/ the matter Of national, state and mu-
nicipal Onership Of public utilities"
/ Socialism is a philosophy of ecOno-
mics, the fruit Of which is the coop
erative commonwealth This en-
| braces all public utilities, in all sec
/ tons Of the country under one head,
but does not sectiOnalize ownership
under the head Of municipal or state
You have simply charged the Par
sons statement to the socialist col
umn-''
2. Why do socialists have the red
card ?"
The blood Of all nations is red.
! Chemical analysis fails to detect any
difference Red is emblematic Of
blood, which is universal. This is why
we use that color. We use the red
/ card. in the first place, so each indi-
vidual can carry a statement in his
| pocket showing TO what date his dues
are paid 1t also answers to identify
a man when away from home and
permits him to attend local meetings
anywhere in the country.
3. What is a red card conference?
1t is called a conference by the sec
rotary, whether it be local, district,
or state No man is permitted to vote
in these conferences unless accompa-
MED by his red card" showing he
has paid up his dues, including the
quarter IN which the conference may
be held. No set Of outsiders can creep
in; then because they cannot run
things, call another convention When
socialism is demonstrated, and the
cooperative commonwealth is in full
force, there will not be any political
parties. fractional strife and pie coun-
tiers will be no more. You should
buy and read books on socialism. Gov
/ ernmental management is a big sub
ject and cannot be mastered in a few
minutes.
3 = =
Every socialist in the county should
take membership in Local GoOdland,
thus identify himself with the workers
and assist in the campaign. While il
is true, socialists campaign the year
larOund, we usually work a little hard
er just before an election.
=
/ Under socialism women have equal
rights with men. They should attend
socialist speaking whenever Oppor-
tunity presents itself Gentlemen will
not smoke at our meetings when wO-
men are present Let the children
come that want to; they will not hear
anything degrading from our speak
erS.
At the election or at any time
Don't Vote for a Dewey Man
Out on the plains Of Kansas
Where the wind blows hard and hot,
Stands a lonely old sod building
Where the Berry boys were shot
