shows drop in the value Of special reVe-
nue. bonds issued In anticipation OF taxes
from seoi, 10000 in 1910 to si6S,@ocoo In 1911
The result is due largely to the present

were made annually.

Why We re Socialists.

Not because any man or set of
men wish us to be; not because
our fathers were, but because
we have waited until we're tired
expecting the republican and
democratic parties to do some
thing for the good of the people.
But they only legislate in favor
of the capitalist and allow that
capitalist oligarchy to coin human
lives into dividends to further
their own selfish ends.
Believe me, we fat-footedly de-
nounce this capitalist system (which
both old parties stand for) as incom-
petent, corrupt, rotten in county, state
and o. s. government and the source
of unspeakable misery and suffering.
Crime, boodling and everything that
has a tendency to drag good men and
women down, goes along hand in hand
with this corrupt system, and in the
name of freedom we condemn wage
slavery. We condemn the system of
exploitation and we believe that our
Divine Master never intended that one
class should enslave another. And in
the name of humanity we demand
social rights to all and privileges to
none. We believe in private owner
ship of home, and as much prosperity
as one can manage without exploiting
or taking others opportunities from
them. We believe in government own
ership of all means of producing So
cially used articles. These are just a
few of the many good things socialists
advocate. We kindly ask all to make
a thorough study of all platforms and
past records and let's vote according
to our best judgement at the coming
election tits our intention now to
get out ticket in this county and
work for the principals of the social
ist party as laid down in our platform
and not for the spoils of the Office, as
is generally the incentive.
So, onward, comrades. Let's work
faithfully, let's give our helping hand
to cause that is inspiring men and
women to- action all over the world.

Uncle Joe Robinson, is tn e
prize rooster merchant of the

getting ready to come to town

expenses, he would bring along
some of his fine roosters for mar

what he was doing on the ranch
in the way of whooping up the
family bank account. He paraded

away from Clark on the 43rd
ballot, and other states quickly
followed.
Just after the 45th ballot had
been taken, when it was seen
the nomination of Governor
Wilson was certain, the names
Of Eugene N. Foss, governor of
Massachusetts,, and Oscar I'm
derwood of Alabama were with
drawn. Their delegates Aocked
to Wilson.
Senator Stone, Clark's cam
paien MANAGER, then released
the Clark delegates.
One after another the states
began getting into the Wilson
band-wagon.
That Wilson will sweep the
country in the coming election
is conceded by both republicans
and democrats.
Just as we 60 to press we
hear that Gov. Marshall of In
diana has been nominated for
vice president.
Hurrah for Wilson and Mar

Homesteaders Too Eager to
Make Final Proof.

When a number of newspapers
published what was purported to
be a copy of the new homestead
law week before last, this news
paper thought it had been slight
ed, and so stated in our last
weeks issue. We have learned
since from P. o. Hedlund regis
ter Of the U. S. land office in
Hugo, that the three year law
has not been sent out from
Washington as yet and the land
Office has not been advised as to
the contents of this new home
stead bill.
A great many homesteaders
have rushed in to take advantage
of this new law who, perhaps,
are not in a position to comply
with its requirements. AS soon
as this law is published, a copy
will be sent to each homesteader.
In the meantime it would be well
for the homesteader to make
haste slowly and wait until you
get reliable and authentic infor-
nation before you go too far.

Mountain Creek, November 1.-(Speeial9 The canvass has become so hot in this county that owing to the few days lett for oratorieals effort the bull moose men and Roosevelt speakers challenged the Wilson speakers to joint debate No sooner did the democratic county com mittee receive the request for joint de- bate than they called their speakers to headquarters and made assignments to accept the proposition.
 Congressman Blackmon and Judge Cal lowav were given the hottest places to work in
 Mr Blackmon met the combined forces of bull moose and Rooseveltian partisans at verbena. which Is voting place No. , of this precinct.
 The joint opposition are doing all in thelr power 0 offset the heavy democratic vote at the Soldiers Home. A few votes had been won over to Roosevelt owing ta tie attempted Milwaukee assassination, etc, but Mr Blackmon has, by his mas terly manner of informing the voters ol Roosevelts practices during his former terms, and his open expressions as to hls CRoosevelt sl intention of attempting to enfranchise tie negro men and women If the south should he he elected, com pletely had the influence of bringing back to the democratic ranks all who had been alienated and winning men who have been sturdy republicans heretofore over u Wilson.
 It is the local ticket that concerns th' Wilson men and no effort Is lost wherf opportunity offers to gair votes for 1t.
 Mr. Blackmons influence is great here He will receive a larger vote this time than he did before.
 Everybody. even the women, are work ing might and main and it looks now as. il Chiffon county will fall into the demo- cratic ranks on November 5 ana gc marching on the road that leads to pros berity and good government.
