Gentlemen of
The School Board

1t is an axiom-an evident truth
that self praise is no praise. Following
the universal custom of the capitalist
class of which you are all representatives,
you have chosen lawyer your presi-
dent to disguise the truth and obscure
the issue in the coming school election.
You are trying once more to befog the
mind of the worker. You do not disprove
one of the facts or deductions of the
circular you denounce. You say it re-
quires no answer and then disprove your
own statement by attempting to answer
Your own class has furnished us with
the statistics used Can you deny their
truth?
We do not disapprove the good moves
you have made. They were demanded
and forced upon your class by the evolu-
ton of the worker. But, gentlemen, you
do not tell the whole story.
You allow Senator Gore to make
democratic campaign speech and charge
admission in our high school auditorium.
You deny the use of the same room for
free socialist lectures You favor night
schools and with them the system which
grinds out ten hours of eXhausting toll
and then drives the tired brain to night
education at the cost of needed sleep.
You say "the school board is not chosen
BY any one class" Why, then, should
you attempt to deny us representation
and to demand school board chosen
FROM only one class?
In your evasive lawyer-hke way you
recognize a few truths. We thank you
when you say we will consider no com
promise; when you say that our board
members Cort and Sole will represent
those who elect them; when you recog-
nize that we are united; when you
acknowledge that we submerge the indi-
vidual in the cause. May we ever re
main true to the principles with which
you credit us.
Gentlemen of the board, stick to facts.
Where will you get 5000 strong in Ey-
erett? If you are a majority why not
capture our locals and direct our boards
YOU so much fear. The real truth is that
you are of a dominant minority, selfish
| few. You call yourselves the average
American citizen" You are not-you
are behind in the evolution Of the hu-
man family. We, the working class
have long furnished the brain and
muscle of industry-you the greed and
power. We are now waking mp. We
are going to run our own affairs. That
we who work viii soon rule, and that
wisely is as inevitable as is the up
ward tendency Of the human race.
In our circular Socialism and Schools
we state that we demand practical edu.
cation for an children; schools managed
for the greatest good to the greatest
number. What more need we sayt
4 Gentlemen Of the board do You not
suspect that we the workers of the
human race, are really the ones who rep
resent the independence and inteligene.

Campaign

Things Doing in Sedro-W ooley, Wash.
Sedro- Woolley is witnessing one OF
the liveliest campaigns in her history
this fall. The peoples party, represent
ing the special interests, grafters and
capitalism, and the socialist party, rep
resenting the workers and true democ-
racy and social revolution, are at it nail
and tooth.
The socialists have reaffirmed their al
legiance to the principles of international
socialism and as local relief measures,
have submitted the following declara-
tion of municipal policies to the voters.
1st. The socialist party of Sedro-
WooIley solicit your support on matters
of principle only. We have plenty of
mud, but will not sling it unless we are
compelled to do so in self defense.
End. We will wherever practicable do
all city work on a day labor basis, and
thus do away with the enormous profits
paid to contractors, and we will if elect
ed insist ON the employment of resident
workers, and a minimum wage of $3.50
per day of eight hours.
3rd We will submit all proposed
franchises to the voters for their ap-
proval or disapproval, and will rigidly
abide by the expressed will of the peo-
pie
4th. We favor the erection of public
comfort stations, and will if elected, at
once take steps to this end.
5th. We favor the opening of public
building for the purpose of holding town
meetings, and the discussion of public
questions.
9Th. We will if elected rigidly and
impartially enforce the laws of the city
with reference to saloons, etc, whatever
those laws be. At the last local option
election held in this city, a majority OF
voters voted to license saloons, and the
socialist party cannot and will not trans
gress the expressed will of majority
because it is undemocratic for a minor
ity to rule majority. Had the result
of the election been the opposite to what
it is the socialist party, if in power
would enforce the law. Can any policy
be fairer than this?
Elections of the Past.
Elections in Sedro-W Wooley in the past
have been nothing but an annual farce
there being but one ticket in the field
The administration having no opposition
naturally grew to be one of nothing but
graft in the interests of the politically
dirty dozen that formed the ring, and
the people are eager for a chance to vote
for a party that stands for a square
deal. The party is opposing government
ownership, as long as a few plutocrat.
own the government, which is AT present
the case in Sedro-Woolley.
The comrades have challenged the best
talent the opposing party can produc,
to debate the justice of any or all oI
the above policies but like the whippel
canine they have sneaked into their hol'
and began to sling mud. Comrade S, L
Boldly was addressing a crowded hall tn,
other evening, and asked "Mr people
party man, why do you adopt you
.underhauded ake-in-the-grass methods
of fighting Why do you resort to mu,
