party is In a real political struggle
fighting for the working class. H
We are new entering on extended
campaigns to educate the workers to
support the legislative programs Of
the Socialist party. The Socialist and
labor press. and even the capitalist
press, to some extent, is the great
weapon to aid us in this direction.
The press must be utilized to thesut-
most. s5ss., s Il z 5>s,-5 4 &.
In the five states where there were
Socialist legislators last winter, the
Socialists of Pennsylvania alone: pro-
vided for a press correspondent at
their state capital. In the other four
states there were no Socialist press
correspond .;s'5 ss ISL
In Pennsylvania the work Of So
cialist State Representative James H.
Maurer proved Of great propaganda
value. Efforts to break into the non
; Socialist and non-labor press were
made with success. >
What the Pennsylvania Socialist
party did in that state the National
Socialist party should do in the
United States. ssSz -.
In Germany last year the National
Socialist Press agensy spent $12, 700.
The sum OF $4,000 was paid back by
the publications able to do so, but
the deficit had to be met by the ma
tional party. z =,s.-...ss
It Is no disgrace to admit that the
fighting Socialist Press Of the United
States today is not burdened with any
great wealth. It is therefore up to-
the national party to furnish the fin
nances. l. M! 90. =
But it is of the utmost Importance
that the problem should be handled
in the best manner possible Ideas
are therefore in order. If you are
interested in the building up of the
National Socialists press send your
views to J. L. Engdahl, managing edi-.
tor of The Daily Socialist. 207 West

an effort will be made to put the mat
