Nathaniel Letton did not look ap-
pealingly at his two friends. but in the
brief pause they felt that appeal pass

HOT cINDERs BY T. J. BROWN.

If Socialism is foreign importation,
then what is Christianity?
Some people say you can't change hui
man nature, but the Socialists have al
ready done so in Los Angeles. Milwau-
kee and various other places. They have
subdued that old-time fierce hatred that
formerly existed between the two old
political parties and caused them to en-
brace in brotherly love.
Mr. Union Man, why do you vote the
scab ticket on election day? You surely
have good reasons for SO doing? Won't
you please come up to Normal hall some
Sunday evening and tell us about it.
Perhaps your reasons are logical and We,
too, might be convinced after hearing
your arguments.
One day the writer asked the business
agent of one of the Denver labor unions
His reply was that he did not want So
cialism for several reasons, principally,
he didn't believe in dividing up. With
such msinformed and misguided NOR
tails as this it would be folly to waste
time in argument, but to such as you as
hold this blind idea, and some other
ideas equally as foolish, you are most
cordially invited to attend the Socialist
meetings held every Sunday evening,
and learn what Socialism really does
stand for, and what it does not stand for.
All kiknds of Socialist literature for
sale at these meetings. If you cannot
afford to buy and wish to study what So
cialism is, we will gladly furnish you lit

abuse. It's coming whether you want it
or not, SO get posted.
You union men that are boosting nom
partisan candidates, instead of the So
cialists, paste this in your hat: At the
first meeting of the non-partisan council
held in Milwaukee last week, the bids
were opened for the city printing for the
next year, among the lowest bidders
were two non-union firms, the non-parti-
san council voted to give the contract
to one of these non-union firms, over
the protests and votes of the Socialists.
The Socialists when in control of the
city saw to it that all the printing done
for the city bore the union label and on
all other goods which the label could be
secured. Wasn't one of the first acts of
one of the Citizen supervisors in Denver
to try to have the union label taken off
of the city printing. Did not the non
partisan bunch elected at Pueblo try to
make the city employees WORK twelve
hours per day when the law calls for
eight hours? And in spite of this fact,
the Socialist party stands for organized
labor first, last and all the time, through
thick and thin. You cannot deny it.
You union men would rather vote for
anybody else than Socialist. Consist
