This office Is sending out a pamph-
let free of charge" to all locals except
those located in cities of the first and
second class. This pamphlet is by
J. e. Sinclair, the secretary of the So
cialist Educational Bureau, and is en-
titled LET Us Make the Public School
the Poor Mans College," 1t is in
tended to stir up a sentiment for the
conquest of the schools by our party
locals. Locals not receiving any, or
an insufficient number, will please
write to this office Cities of the first
and second class have already held
their school elections and do not there
fore need any. All other school dis
tricts hold their elections on March 1,
and the comrades are hereby requested
to get busy.
The annual state convention of the
party convenes on the 8th of March,
10 a. m, at the Eagles hall, corner
Thirteenth and e, Tacoma. Delegates
attending should remember to have
with them their red membership cards,
paid up to the first of March, State
referendum "a" will be tailed on Sun
day, the 23d inst, and Immediately
after that circular letter will be sent
to the state committee members whose
duplicate credentials have been re.
ceived at that time, stating whether or
not the $500 per diem will be paid to
delegates.
Owing to the many ways by which
delegates will arrive, it has been
deemed impracticable to have recep-
ton committees meeting at the trains
and steamboats, and all comrades are
therefore instructed to go direct to
the hall. Comrades intending to make
nominations for party offices should
try to obtain the pledge from their
choice that he will serve in case of
election. Those having motions and
resolutions to lay before the conven-
ton should have them made out in
writing, in the shape they want them
to appear Attention is called to the
last provision of Additional Conven-
ton Actions" on the last page of the
state constitution, which ordains that
no one will be paid expenses before
the end of the convention.
Fraternally submitted, yours for the
revolution,
FRANS BOSTROM,
State Secretary.

Removing the limits set on the extern

mise was concession to the South when
on its face looked dangerously like sur
render Douglas may or may not have
realized in advance that he was merely
offering the slave states a glittering gold
brick The South could not compete with
the North i'm opening up and organizing
new territories. Free labor was far more
desirable in new communities than slave
labor and, as the South soon discovered
I'm the case of Kansas, the idea Of forcing
slavery into the constitutions OF the new
states by a majority vote al the polls was
all a delusion. The Missouri Border
Ruffians" got control I'm Kansas for a
time. but they acted more as invaders
than rs bona fde settlers. The popular
sovereignty doctrine was in the end just
as effective as the Missouri Compromise
had been in preventing the expansion OF
the slave power Westward.
Through this doctrine also Douglas
eventually found a way to cut loose from
his alliance with the pro-slavery leaders
of the South To re-establish himself as
Northern statesman. standing on North
ern platform, and To make the Northern
Democracy an important factor in resist
ing secession and saving the Union. This
last achievement was his greatest service
10 the nation. and one which has never
been sufficiently recognized.
