Dear Comrade:-Your letter re-
ceived and read at meeting of local
last night A committee was elected
to arrange for speakers. Comrade
Duncan is chairman and Jennings vice
chairman. Committee will probably
meet some time this week and let you
know what is proposed. In the mean
time IL you get definite dates for the
Stokes ct al. let me know.
Some of the comrades suggest that
we should have a dozen books out
(something like enclosed old one,
with blank spaces for names of dona-
tons and collections, as well as for
amounts contributed) to raise funds
for the campaign.
Butte has not done much with
subscription lists from National office.
II is thought that some sympathizers
will come through better when re-
ceipt is given for amount donated.
Duncan gave us a lecture at last
meeting which / consider a very good
one for non-socialists who see there
is something but don't know what.
Yours for the revolution.

HARIRIS AND FORAKEI

A dispatch to the New York Sun

sidously circulated in all the counties
to the effect that Senator ForakePss
friends are not to support Taft and
Harris, and that governor Harris
does not believe these reports and g
en- old friend of Senator Foraker"
The interesting part OF the forego-
ing statement is that Governor Harris
''is an old friend of Senator Foraker"
1t will be especially amusing to Sena-
tor Forfker's real friends.
In one sense the Governor is an
''cld" friend of Senator Foraker. for
he is now past 70. Senator Foraker
helped Harris to the nomination for
lieutenant governor three years ago.
which enebled him to step into a dead
governors shoes, turn the dead lyoy-

conditional orders This year
conditional orders are supposed to
depend upon the election of Taft
for president.
The old and threadbare political
fake has been so overworked in pres
idential campaigns that it is surprls-
ing any manufacturer or business
concern could be found today with
so little sense or scruple as to in
suit the intelligence Of the people
of the United States by the revival
of this old humbug.
Just little information as to the
Columbus concern which is now in
dulgng in the conditional orders"
fake, may be interesting to the people
of Ohio, especially to the working
men of the state. This Columbus
concern is known in the business
world as the jeffrey Manufacturing
Company. The head of the company
is j. A. Jeffrey, father of a former
Republican mayor of Columbus, and
bitterly partisan Republican at
all times.
This same ]. A. Jeffrey Is also
known In the business world for his
hostility to organized labor and he
is today a member OF the Executive
Board of that organization which
has had Parry and Post for its presi-
dents and now has its president j. A.
Van Cleave, who has been taking an
active part in the campaign against
Bryan.
So that when the manufacturing
concern, of which ]. A. Jeffrey Is
head, announces that it received or
ed Subject to Mr.. Taft, election to
tn presidency" it is not difficult to
see through the partisan motive of
this overworkod insult to intelligent
citizenship.
"A Cream Separator Company in
Pennsylvania, which has insulted the
intelligence Of all the farmers of the
United States, as we'll as working
men and businessmen by undertaking
TO lbulldoze its customers with threats
to close down II Bryan Is elected an
other form OF the conditional order"
humbug. got a well deserved rebuke
frcm Marbaugh Bros. Hardware
Dealers at Monterey, Ind. Marbaugh
Bros, who are Republicans, in their
reply informed the unpatriotic authors
of the letter they received from the
Cream Separator Company that 1--WE
( will at least make an effort TO let
the Democrats know that your COM
pany's threats are unfair and unprln-
cipled and that your company does
not deserve the trade coming from the
Democratic business men" Mar
baugh Bros. also say in their letter
that they will bring the companys
insult before the next meeting Of the
, Hardware Business Mems Association
for the reason that ave consider such
political dlctation an insult to any
American voter who reserves the right
to vote according to his political
convictions"
Such an answer would fittnigly ap-
ply to every unpatriotic concern
which INDUCES in the "conditlonll
order" fake and It's half brother, the
threat to 'shut down" as the re-
suit OF a presidential election.
Another evidence of the purely par
tisan character of this humbug Is
furnished by the Ohio State Journal,

Some voters are at a loss to un-

thet the laborlng man when he is
accused of having violated some
injunction which mas been issued
against him, is entitled to a trial
by a jury, just as the common
murderer, the horse thief and the
burglpr are entitled to trial. That
