An effort is being made to arrange
4 debate between David Golstein, the
anti-Socialtst lecturer wo delivered
addresses at the opera house Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday nights, and
Arthur LeSueuF, Of this city, who is
recognized as one Of the Socialist
leaders of the state.
At his lecture Monday night on
SOCIALISM and the Home" Golstein
asserted that Socialism is opposed
to religion and the Christian church.
To this statement, the Minot Social
lists have taken exception and state
plainly that Golstein lies when he
makes such a statement.
The Citizens Committee in charge
of the Golstein lectures, comprise +.
B. Lambert, Fl. H. Kemper, T. F. Ren-
valid, l.. M. Davis, ]. M. Devine and
Francis J. Murphy and they have &C.
lected the following question to be
discussed between Golstein and L.
sueur at the Opera House in Minot
on Sunday afternoon, Apr. "a: Re.
solved-that the statement Of David
Golstein that Socialism is opposed
to religion and the Christian family
is a lie."
We can't say positively at this
time whether there viii be debate
or not. Both speakers appear to be
willing to meet upon the platform.
The differences merely is regard to
some preliminary matters have all
been agreed to by the Socialists, &C.
cording to statement made BY Le-
! Sue,1r to the Independent, this even
ing. "I don't know whether Golstein
will be back or not LeSueur stated,
.ebut il he is, there will be either
debate or a foot race. I'm ready, Tor
/ the Socialists have given in to every
mint held out by the Golstein COM
mittee even to the question"
J. M. Devine, one Of the members
~ the committee, informs the indie
pendent that Golstein has gone to
williston, and after speaking at Bow
bella and Kenmare, will return to MI
not not later than Sunday prepared
to debate. He says the Socialists
at first complained because they thot
that Golstein would benefit financially
by the debate, and wanted the pro-
ceeds to be divided. This the Clts-
zens' Committee did not want to 90,
but instead agreed to charge an
admission of rs cents, pay for the
opera house and then give the balance
to the United Charities. According
to LIE Sueur, this Is agreeable to the
Socialists. We presume there Will
be a debate unless there are OBJ
stacles in the way Of which we know
nothing, but can't say definitely q
this writing
Golstein, who is from Boston, has
made q thoro study of Anti.socialis-
tic problems and his lectures attract
ed wide interest. He is undoubtedly
the most effective AntiSocialtst
speaker who has appeared in Minot.
His lecture Tuesday night was on
SOCIALISM and the church while
the subject Wednesday night was:
SOCIALISM and the State.
In his last lecture, Golstein con
tended that Socialism Is . menace
to the trades unions, that the work
Ing men have better homes and re.
ceive higher wages than they ever
did before, and says this cindition
was not brot about by Socialism at
all, but by the efforts Of the un.
