Platform and Candidates of the Socialist Party
of ClalIam County

The socialist party Of Clallam county
in placing ticket in the field for the
fall campaign of 1912 makes no wild
promises. It's success at the polls would
not mean socialism put in practice
co cooperative commonwealth in miniature
AS such contamination can not be
realized until the state and national
strongholds of capitalist power are in
our possession.
The socialist party does, however,
pledge itself TO the following basic prin-
ciplcs:
l. The interests of humanity are and
ever shall be considered paramount to-
the interests of property.
2. The working class, being that por-
ton of humanity which performs all the
work which accomplishes everything
worth while, should rightfully have and
enjoy everything worth while.
3. The nominees of the socialist party
will, if elected, do everything in their
power to further the interests and to-
improve the condition of the working
class in this county.
4. The socialist candidates belonging
to n class that knows by bitter expert
ence the meaning of the word economy"
will, if elected, steer clear of wasteful
expenditures and economize wherever
and whenever economy shall be practic-
able without detriment to those who toll.
8. Unlike the old parties whose plat
forms are ever prating of business in
terests, the socialist party considering
only the worker wastes no words on the
exploiters of labor or the manipulation
of unearned wealth.
Voters of Clallam county, it is up to
you to decide whether you will vote for
the candidates of the old parties bound
as they are body and soul to the para
site exploiters of labor or whether you
will vote the socialist ticket and place
in office members of the only useful
class-the class that creates the wealth
of the world.

To the National Executive COMMITTEE:
Comrades-The following communica-
tion has been received from L. f. Katter-
field manager of the Lyceum depart
ment, with request that it be trans
mitted to you;
"The Hillquit motion is untimely. The
certainty of fierce opposition by the
speakers to the autoeratie examination
of one socialist by another; the certainty
of violent disturbances within the party
if speakers are displaced at this time,
no matter what the ostensible cause;
the certainty of designations by speak
ers and cancelling of contracts by locals
these are worth consideration, but the
chief objection to the Hillquit motion is
IT IS OUT OF DATE.
"The ship is a thousand miles from
shore on a winter voyage full of perils.
Comrade Hillquit proposes to stop her
on the high seas to examine into the
competency of the crew.
"Since I am held responsible for the
Lyceum, I protest most emphatically
that the time for such dickering and
(fooling is PAST. Every possible facil-
ity for passing upon the merits of the.
speakers was placed before the executive
committee LAST SUMMER and Com
rade Hillquit was not present
THE Lyceum work is now too far on
its way to make such an interruption
possible. Comrade Hillquit must realize
that besides being a propaganda enter
prise the Lyceum department is large
business institution with obligations to
meet. Our present liabilities are over
$4,000. Most of this is due within 80
days. We hope to pay it out of the reg
ular receipts of the Lyceum department
without drawing on the national treas
ury. If this motion is adopted, it can
not be DONE Locals will not send money
if there is uncertainty regarding speak
ers. But the bills will not wait. They
are due; not next year, but NEXT
MONTH
"Our contracts with the speakers in
volve over $4,000 additional for which
we are legally liable and morally re
sponsible. These contracts were made
in good faith after the executive com
mittee's action had been tacitly approved
| by the national committee Most of The
speakers have already made considerable
preparation. Even the humblest among
them should now have the opportunity
to MAKE GOOD before being blacklist

The funeral of j. T. Kingsley, a for
mer resident of Middlebury was held in
the Blackmer chapel Sunday last at
o'clock, large number of friends at
tending. Mr.. Kingsley was born in
Fort Ann, N. Y, in 1886. In early life
he moved to Mddlebury where he es-
tablished himself in the business of
carriage and ornamental painting. AS
a painter, Mr.. Kingsley was considered
one of the best in New England, having
received first prize in many statewide
contests of skill. He took his religion
into his workshop every day and every
piece of work undertaken was faithfully
and conscentiously executed. AS an
intelligent reader he kept constantly
abreast of the current events of his
time. He loved his country as he loved
his home, and his tribute to the Amer
ican flag, once delivered before large
and appreciative audience in the town
hall of this place, is considered a gem.
He was no mans enemy, and only good
is spoken of him by those who have
known him through the years, and all
recognize the fact that the world has
been made far better for his having
lived.
