UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE

Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson, Ca
My Dear Sir and Bro. Your edi-
torials and writings are certainly
splendid.
wish, however, to say to the pub
lie, and especially to all members of
the reform factions, that as mem
Der of organized labor for forty
years, or more, that organized labor,
generally, adheres to the initiative,
referendum and recall as a funda-
mental principle, and all sO-called re-
form factions do champion this same
principle; yet they all take great
pride, it seems, in dividing their
forces on election day, and thereby
they all assist the so-called Demo-
cratic-Republican machines to hold
up the people. 1t is either done
from lack of intelligence, or many
of these so-called reform leaders are
the paid tools of this so-called
Democratic-Republic machine who
are the agents of the trusts and COM
binations of capital. There is no
middle grounds; any man, or set of
men, who claim to adhere to the
principles of the initiative, referen-
dunn and recall should be willing to
join his fellow-man in united re-
form political party, taking as it's
fundamental principle the initiative,
referendum and recall. Such union
of reform forces would draw to it
many thousands of men from the So
called mocratic-Republican parties
and insure success for this united po-
litical party in 1912. The name of
this united party should be, "Union,"
then no one could have cause for OBJ
jecting. Remember, my brothers,
political party must first get into
power, into office, before they can
make laws, legislate for the people.
Our platforms are not laws, and we
must get together on what we do

RECALLING OMAHA PLATFORM
DAYS.

Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson, Ca
Dear Sir:-I enclose So for renew
al of my subscription to the Monthly
and Weekly Jeffersonians. l need a
new knife.
L do not know when my subscrip-
ton expires, but please advance the
date, as [ regard these as the most
valuable of the papers 1 keep on
hand for the entertainment of the
public while waiting for trains.
They are read by many and with
approval in almost every instance.
I have always earnestly hoped for
union of the forces with the Social
list element, and it appears that the
differences between their platforms
are not so great that they should pre-
vent this. I was always very much
attached to the name of "The Peo-
Plies Party" but 1 would just as
soon vote for Mr.. Watson under the
name Socialist as any other, feeling,
if [ do so, that | would be casting my
vote for better government. l can
remember when the Republicans
were called "Black Republicans, a
term intended to be as offensive as
the word niger" I, with the 9TH
er Poplists, was compelled to submit
to the violent storm of abuse that
was heaped on us upon the adoption
of the Omaha Platform, and we
should not assist in adding to the
stigma that is cast on the Socialists,
whose only "crime" is that, from
their point Of view, they are advo-
eating what they believe to be a bet
ter method of the administration of
public affairs. Let us get together.
The mutterings of discomfort are
both loud and deep, and if the re-
form forces can only be united vic
tory will be ours in 1912.
Wishing you every possible per-
sonal happiness as we'll as success in
public, remain,
Sincerely yours,
J. HI. CALDERHEAD.

SAYS PATROLMA
HIT HIM IN. FACE
Grocer Complains to Chief of
Police Wilson

GA AKLAND, Sept. 7.-Policeman
Pleasents, one of the new patrolmen
must apologize to W. P. Wheeler, a
grocer who resides at 1860 Franklin
street, to avoid being arrested for bat
terry, because of an alleged wanton at
tack on the civilian yesterday at
Seventeenth street and San Pablo ave-
nue.
Wheeler went to Chief of Police Will
son today to lodge a complaint against
Pleasents, and told the chief that he
would swear out a warrant for his
assailant'S arrest.
In narrating the circumstances of
the encounter to the chief, Wheeler
said he was walking home with his
arms filled with packages and had to
pass through the dense crowd at
Seventeenth street and San Pablo ave-
nne. while the union labor parade was
In the streets.
Wheeler was jostled in the jam of
people, and losing his balance, fell
against the uniformed patrolman, who
retaliated by showing Wheeler. The
grocer dropped his bundles and re-
monstrated with Pleasents, who. Whee-
Ter AYERS, struck him In the face with
such force that the dealers head ached
all day.
Chief Wilson explained that the
patrolman is a new man on the force
and suggested that no warrant be
sworn out. He sent word to the police
man to apologize to Wheeler. The
