Py Ben TIanford,

] II was splendid battle. nobly
fought and grandly won.
Tn" Jimmi" TIlyginses and the Mary
Hamiltons and Eugene Debs and
every man and woman in the cause

What a grand victory.
Comrad.s, that victory must be fol-
lowed up. The enemy are demoral-
ICED and in fun retreat. We must
smlts them hip and thigh. The re-
treat must be made a rout
We have the public ear and eye.
Socialism's spoken word must be
heard. Its written word must be
| read.
The winter courses OF lectures must
succeed the campaign and street-cor-
ner meetings. The serious pamphlet
and book and constructive side OF the
Socialist philosophy must be pre-
sented to those who have heard the
analysis and criticism of capitalism
and its denunciation.
Then all these new voters of the
Socialist ticket They must be attend
ed TO and at once. We rlust get them
to become party members-workers
and doers They must become Com
radss. some one taught the gospel
Of Socialism to each of these new
voters. They must pay for their tut
tion by themselves becoming teachers.
The new Socialist voter must be-
come recruit in the movement and
join IN" Socialist party. The recruit
must DE- trained to be a Socialist
soldier, and in due time the soldier
will b" veteran.
Comrades, do not fail TO ask every
new voter to join the party. Explain
To him just how our party goes about
its work. Show him that. were IL not
for tn" party organization, he might
never hav" heard of Socialism and
would have had no opportunity to vote
the Socialist ticket. out Of all these
new voters we shall surely find some
treasures Who knows but among
them there may be another Debs
Not greater or a grander than Dcbs.
That cannot be. But another Debs.
Think what another Dcbs would have
don. i'm this campaign.
Comrades. spare no effort to build
up the party organization.
Then the Socialist press. You must
not neglect IL for day
Our two English dailies, the Chicago
Daily Socialist and the New York
Evening can, must be made self-sup-
porting. IL can be done, and in a
few months time.
Now that the election is over, now
that four long years are to pass be-
fore the people have another chance
to say who and what kind of men
shall be appointed to the Supreme
Court of the United States, you may
be sure that those judges will quickly
teach the workingmen of this country
their need of Socialist daily papers.
1t will not take the union men OF
the United States long to find out
what kind OF friend OF labor" they
have in the White House after the ith
OF next March.
Then thos. union men will look to,
our Socialist Dailies for support and
instruction. They will bc ready to re-.
ceivr and W. must bc ready TO give
them what they look for. BY the
tens or thousands they will then see
the mistake of cl"Cting a capitalist
candidate 10 the Presidency of the
United states to look after working
mems Interests Meantime Comrades
| b"fur, next 9Th Of March. right now.
"" must ~ to work and establish
these two daili's firmly on a self-sup-
porting basis,
our weekly press must not for
moment be- neglected In some re-
sp,cts il is more important than the
daily press. Ihc weekly press can
present. in' Nhfllllsl bTEuHptntS more
extensively and thoroughly than the
daily can 40. A daily paper must
devote the greater part OF its space to
the days news. Its chief function
must be IA" nt,rprctation OF passing
events. But the weekly press can
undertake The complete exposition of
the Socialist philosophy, and in many
respects has an educational and prop
aganda value that can never be
equalled by the daily paper and which
only the Socialist pamphlet and book
can surpass The daily and weekly
papers are equally necessary.
SO Comrades. there are three things
TO take your immediate effort and.

Build up the organization OF the
