In the state at large are 16 in good
standing; suspended and Rufus S.
Crosby just dropped. This makes 500
members for which the organizations
have paid for August.
The largest number that the locals
and branches in the state ever paid for
in any month was July. Out of 20 or
ganizations, 80 made a report that there
were in those organizations 579 members
that were paid up to date, yet those same
organizations had paid to the state office
for only sol. If full vote should hap
pen to be cast it would result in some
organization having it's whole vote re-
jected. which would be unjust to those
who had paid up to date, as they would
suffer on account of those who had not
paid. or because the financial secretary
had not turned the payment over to the
state. Secretaries must pc careful to see
that their organizations are in good
standing in the state organization, for as
many votes as they report, for there is
an important referendum out now which
involves a change in our party state con
stitution on that very point, so as TO
avoid the possibility of disfranchising
some on account of nonpayment of 9th
ers, but it will make each member de-
pend on his own standing entirely in
stead of on the standing of the local or
branch as a whole
On Thursday evening. August II, Com
rade w. +. Ries of Ohio will speak at
Lafayette. He will arrive in Denver so
as to take the Interurban car that leaves
there at 900 p. IN. This connects at
Louisville with a train to Lafayette.
Those who are so situated that they can
go to Lafayette should do so to hear this
man deal out some homemade facts
about both the capitalist employers and
the wage-earning workers, which he IL
lustrates on charts takeE from the Unit
ed States census reports. Then don't
miss buying the four pamphlets that are
entitled Men and Mules, Monkeys and
Monkeyettes, Lions and Lambs, Heads
and Hands" If you are proletarian
wage-worker and viii read these four
pamphlets and then say that you will
still vote for either one of the political
