The following letter has reached the
Commonwealth. So many articles are
written about the responsibility of
elected socialist officials that it is i'm
possible to tell which particular one
is in question. 1t then remains for
us to give a definite reply regarding
our position.
This is the letter:
Granite Falls, Wash, 1872.
Friend Hazard:
About two weeks ago the Common
wealth contained the statement that
a socialist elected to office would not
be the representative of the whole
people but of the socialist party only.
Will you kindly send me copy of this
issue?
The elected socialist official will
represent the WORKERS AND PRO
DUCERS only. Any official who claims
to represent all the people is either
a fakir or fool. We will now proceed
to prove it,
The master class tries to buy labor
cheap and to sell food, clothing and
shelter dear.
The worker tries to buy food, cloth

labor dear

A socialist would vote for collective

eliminate disease by preventing it. In
all these things he would be represent
