Democratic Machine
andRepublican Ring

Six tickets will be on the ballot 10
be voted at our city election April
|th. First the regular Democratic
ticket which represents the big bust
ness interests known as murdcrous
monopolles and thicving trusts. Sec
ond. the regular Republican ticket
also representing the interests of big
business corporations. me.;cile IS m on
opolic and trachcrous trusts
Neither OF these pcrncious old
parties represents the interest OF tho
great mass of poor and comm on peo-
pic. Hence, the people, whether
formerly republicans or democrats,
should refuse 10 vote Tor these old
polluted .nonopolistic parties and
vote for the only peoples party on
carth-Solialist party. which repre-
the interest of all the poor hard
working common people of this
world
Then there is the independent Re-
publican ticket. which was brought
out to catch and keep independent
republicans from voting the Social
ist ticket. Next. they have the pco-
pies INDEPENDENT democrat ticket,
which was also arranged to eaten
and hold the independent democratic
voters from voting the Socialist
ticket. Again they have the Cit-
Zcns Independent Republican ticket.
This ticket was also slated to cap
t,lre any other independent voters
from voting the Socialist ticket.
In short, all these Independent
tickets, excepting a few individuals
supporting them. were arranged
pnrpOscly to catch the independent
voters Of these two old parties, who
are sick and tired of voting for part
les that represent the interests of
mOnOpolics and trusts. The RcpMO-
lican RING and the Democratic, ,.llla-
chine. knowing that many honest
voters would not support these Nilc
monOpoiiStfc schemes, and would
likely support the Socialist ticket,
put these independent tickets in the
field to fool the working man 20
help continue TO enslave himself.

1t is to plain to admit of doubt

We have got to act. We, the

The Appeal to Reason must again

most vital interest to the American
working class ard the American ma

The Socialist party can engage in
no undertaking more in harmony
with its principles than to take its
stand in favor of the McNi2ans who
are fighting for constitutional liberty.

was turned down. and then they had
