Officials of locals and branches must
call for the nominations and elections OF
their officials in this month, so they may
take their positions on the first of Jan
uary, unless the organization has other
fixed rules adopted. The counties of
Denver, Mesa and Teller, which have a
delegate committee should also elect
mittees this month, as their terms begin
Jan. LIST, except the county secretary,
whose term holds till May 1.
The amendments to our state party
constitution that were adopted last Sep
tember and took effect on October, are
very important as they regulate the pay
ment of dues and also the selection of
political candidates. On October it
was published in this Bulletin that these
amendments would be sent free, to pc
that would ask for them and state the
number of constitutions they had. 1t is
now the third month and only six or
ganizations out of over 20 have asked
for these amendments. 1t Is important
to know the party laws under which we
manage party affairs, so that we do not
get into a mixed up affair with each
other when we have something to per
form. If we do not give attention to
party conduct now we cannot be de
pended upon to conduct the political and
industrial affairs of the state and nation,
because when we do take hold the man
agement will be under form of rules
and law. 1t will not be an anarchistic
association where each individual Is to
do what he considers best from his judg
ment only. The moral base for that has
not yet arrived.
After the goth, of this month the ac-
ceptances of nominations for the party
positions will be asked for. In order
that we will not get mixed on the re-
quirements it must be understood that
for the national committeeman one must
have been a member for three years;
for state secretary and state executive
committeeman one must have been a
member for one year; the same applies
to general state committeeman, except
in counties that have not been organized
that long. One years membership in
Colorado is required for all, with the ex-
ception made for the general state COM
mittemen. Those who accept for state
committeeman must remember that in
counties that have delegate committee
sessions once a month he or she becomes
the secretary-treasurer of that county
and is expected to be attending at those
meetings and the membership meetings
OF the county locals.
Also remember that it means continu-
Gus membership. 1t does not mean that
one could have been a member. then
dropped out and Joined again within the
year.
Also bear in mind that the same per-
son cannot be a member of the general
state committee and of the state execu-
tive committee, but will have to chose
between the two. And the state secre-
tary cannot belong to either of these
committees, for he is clerk only.
Victor l. Berger holds the most prom
inent position of any Socialist in the
United States. Next to him is Winfield
Gaylord, the senator in the Wisconsin
legislature. He will be coming from Cal
ifornia about the middle of January and
will deliver lecture at any place along
the line at $1,000 fiat rate. Anyone that
wants him notify the state Office and
date will be fixed. The state secretary
knows him and has heard him speak
and therefore recommends him to any
place. He is one of the men that helped
to Germanize Milwaukee into Socialism.
Now let us Milwaukeeize our cities and
