The confession of the McNamaras
to dynamiting, came like a thunder
bolt from a clear sky.
The Socialists generally believed
them innocent OF the crime charged
and based on the way that the men
were kidnapped, an opinion was
formed that the men were not going
to receive justice.
However. the McNamaras have
pleaded guilty to the charge against
them, and took their sentence apar-
entity Willingly
The socialiss are being condemned
for supporting the McNamaras. In
this respect. the Socialists have no.
thing TO apologize for. 1t Is a right
Of the Anglo Saxons that all
persons are to be considered In
nocent of the crime charged against
them until proven guilty. This right
has been handed down fom sire to son
and TO maintain 1t the Socialists went
TO the aid Of the McNamaras, and pro-
tested against the professional kidnap-
ing carried on by the representatives
of the capitalist class, and the result
is, that the capitalists pulled Off a
smooth piece of political work in Los
Ageles. to their benefit as the election
returns will show
While the Socialists do not believe
in terrorism, yet we must condemn
the action of the detectives in yio-
Iaing the state laws by kidnapping.
If the detectives had such a sure
thing case against the McNamaras.
Why did they kidnap them? Why
not let the law take its course? Both
Indiana and Michigan are capitalist
ruled states.
II it is wrong to dynamite, 1t Is
wrong to kidnap.
II it is wrong to destroy property,
Il is equally wrong to deprive any
man of his liberty without due pro-
cess of law.
Therefore the detectives should be
punished for violating the law just
as the McNamaras have been punish
ed. IL the law is to be respected
no distinction should be made oe-
tween criminals.
