VICTORY OVER CAPITALIST FUSION

forts of the two old parties in Red Lodge,

Fincom and OBrien on their ticket, and
the republicans put up woodard and G.

that would beat them, so they thought
by fusing on the justice they could down

tactics they always use when they get
in tight place. Notwithstanding their

Out of of over six hundred mems names
on the pay roll of the Dietz Mining Co.
in Sheridan county, Wyo., only one hun
dred and eighty three had the right to
vote at the recent election. However,
Dietz cast a splendid vote for socialism.
IL the rest of the laboring class was as
truly loyal to its class interests as the
Dietz miners, II would not take long to
usher in the cooperative commonwealth.
The Sheridan local yhich gave promise of
vigorous growth before election by
making poor choice in the selection Of
some of its candidates reduced the So
cialist vote considerably in that city.
The most fatal blow that can be struck
against the socialist party or movement
is TO place in nomination the name of one
whose character or business will not COM
mand the respect of his fellow citizens.
No matter how deprayed man may be,
the old political parties can nominate and
elect such man to office but when the So
cialist party adopts such methods it will
90 down in defeat. The battle of bal
lots" for 1906 is over. The first struggle
for 1908 has just begun. With the in

no reason to feel discouraged or down

One of the most gratifying features
of this campaign is the fact that we now
have the working class with Us as never
before. We carried eleven working class
wards We have also carried all the in.
dustrial suburbs of Milwaukee. West
Allis, Cudahy, North Milwaukee and
South Milwaukee. The social democratic
yarty of Wisconsin is proletarian par
ty, and in that consists its strength.
These splendid results are achieved in
spite of the fact that the factories and
manufacturing plants did not close early,
as in former years to enable their men to
vote. On the contrary, several plants
worked their men overtime, with the
express purpose of disfranchising them.
This shows how the capitalists now fear
the socialists, and also illustrates the
need of making election day legal holi-
day.
Another cheering result was the vote
in the fourteenth ward. This is an old
democratic stronghold, inhabited mainly
by Polish Catholics. The Polish priests
had preached against us, talked against
us, worked against us. Yet we came
within So votes of carrying the wardi
The priests are evidently losing their po-
litieal power, and men are beginning to
think for themselves.
How did the socialists of Milwaukee
gain these fine resultsl Chiefly by the
distribution of socialist literature. Dur.
ing the campaign, three tons of papers,
besides leaflets, were distributed every
week. Last Sunday three anda half tons
of papers were distributed, not counting
leaflets, by 300 volunteers. This work
Is slow and laborious, but il brings good
results, and the results stick.

that the socialist democratic vote will be

that time total vote of about 800 was

at that time, republican party first.
This year we beat both old parties.
The reason the democratic candidate for

democrats are completely knocked out
The social-democratic per cent of the to-

talking of uniting in order TO hold their
own against the socialists. The "Senti-

their probable strength at he next city

propose a coalition of democrats and re.

lines to the fusion campaign in 1888,
when the old labor party was defeated. y
The social-democratic party last Tues.
day carried three new wards and one new
assembly district. IL elected five as
semblymen which, with our socialdemo-
cratic state senator. makes six socialist

well put down in the rear of the build

pump the water into "a tank situated
high enough to give protection to the
house in case of fire.
