HAYWOOD IS NOT
GOOD SOCIALIST
Candidate for President Depre-
Gates Using Axe on
Ballot Box.

In an address last night at Thomp-
sons Hail. Arthur Rcimer. OF Mass a-
| chusetts. the Socialist-Lapor party
nominee for President of the United
States, repudiated William u. Hay
| wood and all his works. This feature
was not Il part OF his speech but came
| in reply to series of questions pro
pounded by member of the audience
who belongs TO the Socialist or Debs
| party.
Haywood has nothing in common
! with our party" said Mr. Rcimer. "tIc
! has seen fit to align himself with an
organization which stands for the rule
OF the mob, and he has put hma, II
| beyond the pale of civilized debate.
! He stands with an element which be-
lievcs In attacking the ballot box with
an axe. We stand for industrial r,v-
olution through education
Further replying To the same citizen
Mr. Reimer pointed ont the differences
between his party's methods and thosA
of Eugene V. Debs ana Victor l.. Ber-
ser. The latter. the Socialists. nc said
would bring about reforms which
would be such in name only and would
divide the forces of labor by attention
to nonessentials, to the ultimate benefit
of the capitalistic class.

The address OF tho presid entail can
didate was temperate throughout. and
he handled his subject with huency

with the ease and resource FUN ,ss born
of many u contest in rough ana tumble
debate on the floor of labor unions ana
decorations. and showing himself to he
close follower of the theories of Karl
Marx. He did not expect. he said, 10
he elected, but did expect to do his
part toward education.

Socialist-Labor party stands for the
| recall Of the capitalistic system. If
the working man, he asserted, per-
! inlts himself to be drawn into dis
cussion OF the principles Of the two
old parties. he needs to put on his
| thinking cap.
| The remarks OF the chairman
furnished Mr.. Rcimer with subject
for part OF his speech. The Roose-
| veltian argument of judicial recall.
| he said. puts the cart before the horse
constituting an attack on the effect
while ignoring the cause. The
judiciary as now constituted he de-
clared TO be a necessity of class
society. which is built uron private
ownership. The workers OF the world
must capture the workshop. curing all
economic miseries and removing the
cause OF 80 per cent OF all court de-
ciSlons The judiciary, he argued is
used In the interest Of the master
class and against the slave class. AS
! instances of the actions of courts. he
told of the condemnation of Socra tes
the forced recantation OF Calico, the
martyrdom of Joan OF Arc. the
sacr flee of Christ. Mr.. Taft. he ad-
m'tted. is at least consistent in the
position that the working classes do
not understand what is being done to
them by courts. The remedy was to
abol' sh capitalistic law.
Turin Issue Fnllacy.
The protective tariff and its reform
were merely capitalistic arguments.
according to Mr.. Reimcr. designed TO
divide votes of workers. Under a
high tariff or free trade. the laboring
man would be bound to lose. so long
as wQges are fixed by law.
