Frans Bostrom, State Treasurer:
Comrade: Although somewhat late,
wish to inform you about the Giles
meeting in this city on Nov. 4. ]. w.
Bryan, congressman-at-large elect, &C
cepted the challenge of Giles to debate
on that date. We agreed to make all
arrangements, pay all bills, and made
the subject optional to Bryan. He
choose the subject, "Why the People
of Bremerton Should Not Vote for
Debs for President" He also selected
the time for speaking, he to have the
first forty-five minutes, Giles the sec
ond forty-five minutes, and Bryan to
have ten minutes in which to reply.
1t was not a debate. Bryan merely
made an oratorical speech for the pro-
gressive party. He was very careful
not TO handle the socialist royalty.
About all he said of socialism was
very complimentary. He held mock
trial, and called upon the witness
stand Simon Guggenheim and made
him testify that he would rather have
Debs elected than Roosevelt. Practi-

bust the trusts, and save the nation

WHAT THE WORKERS HAVE
DONE IN GERMANY
Bremerton, Was

"Twety years ago the slume OF Ger
many were notorious. Cologne,
Frankfort, Munich, Breslau and Berlin
had acres of vile and overcrowded
tenements.
A few years ago an English work
man, visiting Stuttgart at the inter
national Socialist congress asked
German workman to show him where
the poor lived.
"Ie took him to a clean well-built
quarter, inhabited by the poorest
workmen.
"But l want to see your sums the
Englishman said
"These are the worst we've got
his German friend answered.
"The amazed Englishman ex-
claimed: Great heavens! If you'll
get me a job here I'll stay forever
'If you will visit German cities and
the same question you will receive
the same answer.
For over twenty years every Ger
man city has had Socialist eldermen.
"They have fought those responsible
for slums, vile habitations, insanitory
workshops, neglected children.
"They have fought all opposing par
ties and have forced the municipal
ownership of public utilities, land re-
form, taxation reform, the demolation
of insanitary districts and the build
ing of sanitary tenements,
"The Socialists have forced the mu-
nicipal coucils to tax unearned incre-
ment, and the increase in land values
is gradually being taken over by the
community.
"The cities own extensive tracts of
land. Strassburg has over $50
square yards for each inhabitant. Ulm
own 80 per cent of the land within its
BOUNDARIES. 1t buys and leases land
daily and prevents all land specula-
ton.
For over thirty years the National
government has been hard pressed
by an intelligent and powerful Social
list party. And the German rulers
were forced to take action to relieve
the distress of the people.
"Times were critical. The revolt
was growig Aud the German rulers
were forced to itroduce scheme for
ipc,rino DraotioaII1y tho antira mass
of German workers against accident,
sickness ,invaidity and death.
To-day over 100000 persons are
insured against sickness. Over
100000 persons are insured against
accident, and about 100000 persons
are insured against old age and in
validity Over $10O,O00,000 a year is
paid in benefits from the Insurance
funds of Germany as pensios to wage
earners.
"In tie National Legislative body the
Socialists have fought for the rights
of the Unions. They have forced the
passage of all kinds of Labor Legis-
lation. They have demanded the
right of Union men to strike and to
picket. The employers are forced to
recognize Trade Union representatives
and in all Germany, in fact, IN ALL
EUROPE, GOVERNMENT BY IN
JUNCTION IS UNKNOWN"

became known that Vanderbilt
backing had arrived odds were
asked

Young" Caldwell and other Van

ed in what promises to be the big

"C0MMISH" MAY SQUELCH
BALL PLAYER-REPORTERS

BOSTON, Oct. Alt is rumored that
the national commission will pass a
rule prohibiting ball players from al
lowing the use of their names over
newspaper stories because Of the dam
ger of stirring up dissension.
Chief Meyers lost his goat when he
read a signed story by McGraw blam-
ing the Indian for losing Tuesdays
game when he missed a foul that hit
the screen. He felt better when he
found his manager had not written it.
The only thing | ever got for allow
ing the use of my name was the loss Of
good player" said Clark Griffith
"Sandow Mertes jumped to the Giants
when | was managing the White Sox
when he read a criticism under my
name that | had never made"
AS a matter of fact. very few ball
players write their own stories. Ty
Cobb watches every game carefully,
