MOTION BY STATE COMMITTEE
MAN REiNHARDT
The following letter was addressed
nv State Committeeman Nicholas
Reinhardt, of Moundsville, to the
members of the State Committee:
"Moundsville, w. Va, Dec. IL, 1911
ssTo the Members of the State Com
mittee Of Socialist Party of West
Virginia.
GAS to Referendum 'E' initiated by
Local Fairmont, purporting to appro-
pirate $4,000 from convention funo
for other purposes than to pay rare
of delegates to convention, I do hereby
object, on the ground OF pending
referendum being unconstitutional
according to Art. V, Sec. 8, OF State
Constitution of the Party.
COMMENTS by Reinhardt)I
In view Of the fact, that by recent
referendum "Fv', Art. v, Sec. 3, has
been changed and thereby the ac-
cumulative power of the convention
fund being reduced, ! conclude, that,
il motion ssE'' should carry, not
sufficient sum would be on hand at
the time of next convention to pay
fare of delegates, counting on present
number of locals. By a fair estima-
ton. the expense win amount to at
least $4,000, which sum, by reducing
the fund at present, could not be ac-
cumulated by then. But if present
fund be left intact and after all fare
paid. the surplus could then be used
for any necessary and most beneficial
party work in the field for campaign
purposes.
Yours for the revolution,
Submitted by Mich. Reinhardt.
The above communication OF Com
rade Reinhardt being sent directly by
him to the commit instead OF
through the regular channels OF this
Office. am at loss to know whether
or not to treat it as motion. But
since it seems to have been so re-
garded BY other members Of the COM
imfttee. / am SO treating It.
The only two committeeman heard
from on the above are Pope and Gillis-
pie. Both oppose the motion. As the
time for seconding the same does not
expire until Jan. 12ths will hold It

G. X. Scott Wins Contest

c. H. Scott came up from Sterling
Saturday to spend few days with
friends in and arouM Raymer. We are
all glad to know that Mr.. Scott was
successful in his appeal to the Interior
Department, and that he gets his
claim. 1t will be remembered that the
Sterling Office rejected Mr., Scott's
proofs last fall on the ground that his
home was with his family. AS we un-
derstand the matter, the department
follows that theory where the wife
stays on the claim: but each case must
rest upon its own peculiar condition of
facts. 1t seems to us that the depart
ment may well consider that it is just
as proper for the wife to be away with
children to educate the latter, as for
her to remain on the claim with the
children while the husband goes away
to work.
Had the ruling of the Sterling Office
been sustained, it would have prevent
ed the homesteader sending his chill
dren away to educate them until they
were old enough togo by themselves. or
until he had obtained title to his land.
In this case we can well say; "a Dan
iel come to judgment. p"
