reason why his opponent is not enti-
tied 20 as many votes as Moon. He
failed to give any reason aud cannot
give a single reason for supporting
Moon which will command the respect
OF Intelligence. Just simply being a
democrat or republican is no qualifi-
cation for Office. If it was we could
go to the penitentiary and make an
Improvement on some we have.
know. too, that Moon will get the sup
port or the bosses of your republican
party, but If q workingman has ever
learned anything he knows they are
the fathers of the robbing system,
which is today making paupers and
tramps of millions of their brothers.
take it that Representative is
lawyer from the way he loves to tell
about suits in his country, but law
yers make no impression on Social
lists. We have listened to them and
followed their teachings and had them
make laws for us until man must
take legal training to know how to
do right. Then another set of lawyers
declare it unconstitutional, so l have
long since decided that when a lawyer
begins to yelp ON the track I'll take
the other end and get nearer to justice.
1t we would lose sight of partisan
prejudice and vote to establish Justice
between man and man, and declare in
thunder tones that he who does no
work shall not eat, or in other words,
the death of the system which robbed
the producer of 83 cents of every dol
lar he produced was at hand, and ev-
cry man guaranteed an opportunity to
work. you would soon hear earnest
prayer from all the" Representatives, +"
what wilt thou have me do" and,
God bless you they would DO it, too.
Just as long as we listen to them
that's how long we will be slaves pro-
ducing dollar and receiving n cents.
Think Of this, Mr.. Workingmsn,
and especially if You vote the old par
ty tickets. This is what you vote for
and it makes no difference with which
you vote. Can't you see them uniting
when it is necessary, to overcome the
working men at the ballot.
Nineteen and twelve is here and you
are to be informed by paid stump
speakers how you shall vote. If you
will get after these you will find them
filling jobs at so much, per for their
masters, but it is easy money even if
you and yours eke out miserable ex-
istence on n per cent. of what you
produce.
This is already too long, and / must
close but l want to say this-I would
rather vote for what | want and never
get it than to vote for what don't
want and get it. Remember there is
no halfway ground. You are either
for us or against us There is only
two sides to this. You either produce
your living by being robbed of SO per
cent. of what you produce, or you OBJ
tain your living by unjustly taking SO
per cent of your brothers life.
Have nothing to do with these milk
and cider men who want to be all
things to all men for votes. Have
nothing to do with .'good men, but
vote for principle and quit throwing
your votes away on 'tgood men Re-
member they are either for us or
against us and can't be elected with
out our votes.
There is but one party on earth
which is worthy OF patronage by work
ing men. In fact it is workingman's
party, and.that is, the socialist party.
1t is not confined to the solid south or
republican north or to the United
States. but wherever civilization has
gone, there Socialism has gone, in ev-
cry cline and country fighting the
battles of justice, for mot democrats
or republicans) but for the blother-
hood of man.
If you are cowardly and want to get
on the big side, then the Socialist par
ty is the largest in the world, but we
DON'T want you, We will capture the
world without you, then you will
come in with equal opportunity with
all men, whereas you are now begging !
for chance to live. Vote to own your
life (job) instead of begging for it,
