ITS Indispensable instrument. The
wase-workers cannot be freed from
expectation without conQuerinS the
political power and substituting col
lective for private ownership of the
land and means of production used for
exploitation
The basis for such Transformation
is rapidly developing within present
capitalist society. The factory system
with its complex machinery and
minute division. of, labor. is rapidly de-
stroying all ves,iges of individual
promotion. in manufacture Modern,
production is already very largely a
collective and social process. The
great trusts and monopolies which
have sprung up in recent years have
organized the work and management
OF the principal industries on a ma
tional scale. and have fitted Them for
collective use and operation.
Land and Public Welfare.
There can be no absolute private
title to land. All private titles
whether called fee simple or other
wise are and must be subordinate to
the public title. The Socialist Party
strives to prevent land from being
used for the purpose of exploitation
and speculation. 1t demands The col
lective possession. control or manage
ment Of land to whatever extent may
be necessary to attain that end. 1t is
not opposed to the occupation and pos
| session of land by those using it in a
useful and bona hde manner without
exploitation
The Socialist Party is primarily an
economic and political movement. 1t
is not concerned with matters of re-
lgious belief.
LabOr'S Interests Identical.

terests Of all modem workers are
identical. The struggle is not only

| braces the world and will be carried
to ultimate victory by the unite work
erS OF the world.
To unite the workers of the nation
and their allies and sympathiZers OF
all other classes to this end is the mis-
sion of the Socialist Party. In this
battle for freedom the Socialist Party
does not strive to substitute working
class rule for capitalist class rule,
but by working-class victory to free
all humanity from class rule and to
realize the International brotherhood
of man.

The power of the congress in such
matter is fundamental in a DEM

This right is constantly exercised

cess of law. or to deny to persons
within their jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.
Somewhere in the federal govern
ment must lie the power to enforce
this constitutional declaration.
No one will contend that it is an
executive power.
If it is said to be a judicial pow
or. its exercise has been formally
disavowed by the supreme court in
the case of Pettibone VS.. Nichols.
There remains. therefore. only the
legislative branch to exercise it.
That the congress has failed in
past times to make use of all it's
powers. and that it has permitted
constant encroachments by the exc
cutive and the judicial branches up
on its rights. duties and privileges.
is no reason why it should now fail
in its duty. The growing democrat

cord with the growing democratic
sentiment all over the world-will
sustain the congress in every asser-
ton of its constitutional powers.

matter of eXtradition between the
states-the congress as early as 1898
took to itself the right to prescribe
the procedure of extradition
This right of congress has never
been questioned.
And since congress unuuestiona-
bly, has this right. it may further
proceed to amend or change the fed
eral statute. It may further pre-
scribe the conditions and procedure
of extradition. in order to prevent
the recurrence of official Kidnapping.
TT it is argued that some states
may refuse to abide by the federal
statute-as in the case of the fugi-
tive slave law-rhe answer must be.

son to bring contentment 10 tne
 minds of Mr. Brandegee'S friends m the shape of a denial of such reports. Maybe there have been passed De- tween the two gentlemen some pr1, yate personal assurances that would relieve the mind of Senator Brande- gee on this point. Nothing Of the kind has yet come to public notice. AS it looks today to the Brandegee element Senator Judson IS the only sign of trouble that is at all bother some to the Brandegee men, that IS assuming that Senator Judson has all am bition in the direction Of the up per house of congress.

Brooker of Ansonlt., do not want any political scraps oli their hands with the presidential ana State contests right ahead of them. They are looking for peace and har- mony all along the line and 1t can De said that MT. Brooker will exert all the power at his command to put the partv in a united condition for these two battles There is no man In Connecticut today who more thor oughly appreciates the necessity or all factions in the Re publican party to help along towards possible success in a presidential ana State election than MT.

TO MAKE NEW SLATE.
Interesting Story From Bridgeport by Way of HartfOrd-Is Stiles Judson Liable to Be Candidate for Sem
 atOr Against Brandegee?

According to a story under Bridgeport date-line in the Hartford Times, Charles F. Brooker, with the aid of other Republican leaders, in cluding Michael Kenealy, chairman of the Republican State Committee, will soon begin conferences for the purpose of so fixing the Republican political slate that contentious in the party will disappear, if such result can be accomplished. That Senator Brandegee will have a very keen friend at the council chamber in these conferences there can be no question when one calculates the intimac cy that exists between the senator and the chairman of the State Committed MT. Kenealy, one of the cleVerest poli- of Connecticut has had at the head of the State Committee. will stand by MT. Brandegee at all hazardsI and the friends of Mir. Brandegee, when they think of the close friendship be- tween these two men, figure upon the very rapid disappearance of the Hill boom and the Judson boom and ail other booms directed toward the United States senatorship and at all threatening to Brandegee. if MT. Kenealy exercises his usual political sagacity..
 Since the last election there has come a, big change in political condi- tions in the Republican party in this State in the opinion of the Brandegee followers who are witching all poli- tical developments. They figure out that Congressman Hill is no where near the popular favorite he was with the Republicans of his district, and they also are of the opinion that he hasn't the political strength in other parts of the State that he once possessed.
 Will Judson Contest?
 There is notion that Senator Jud- son will not enter the lists against with being something of an adm1rer of the Senator, and he has for sev- eral years or ever since the origin of the so-called Brandegee Republicans been classed with that political eIe- ment. Judson was one of the most vigorous supporters of eX-GOV. MOr- gan G. Buikeley in the contest against Senator Mclean, and all the Brande- gee men were working for the ex- Governor at the same time. Right along it has been held that Judson and Brandegee have not been at odds politically in many years and it is the opinion of Senator Brandegee's intimate friends that it would be very surprising to find Senator Judson bat ting against Brandegee for the Unit ed States Senatorship. Still you neve: can tell what's going to happen in who have a lurking suspicion that Senator Judson may enter this race.
 Judson's Silence.
 There has been no word directly or indirectly from Senator Judsop that he is or will be a candidate for United States Senator when the pres ent term of Senator Brandegee eA- pires. Neither has there come an, notice or. any hint from Senator Jud-
