WHATCOM COUNTY CONVEN
TON

The Socialists of Whatcom county
met in convention at Bellingham last
Sunday at 1 o'clock. All locals of
the county were represented with the
exception of Wickersham. Delegates
had been elected from this local, but
were unable to attend
Frank Bickford, of Bellingham, was
chairman and Marius Hansome was
secretary. The work of the conven-
ton was to prepare for autonomous
organization of the county. A consti-
tuition along the lines of our state and
national constitutions was adopted.
The report of the resolutions commit
tee included number of topics,
among which was the following:
1.-THE Socialist party of Whatcom
county, in regular convention assembl-
ed, desires that the state convention
be held in Bellingham, as decided by
the party referendum. Bellingham
having been the strategic center of
party differences, we feel that it will
be to the best interest of the party to
have the convention here, Delegates
can take the boat from Seattle, thus
avoiding heavy fare"
The above resolution was unanim-
ously adopted by the convention, as
was also a memorial to the national
executive committee relative to party
matters.
At 4 o'clock the convention declared
recess for a table lunch that had
been spread in the lower hall. This
invitation was extended to everybody
present, including spectators. About
sixty people were at the tables and
things were kept hilarious by a series
of rapid-fire speeches by Comrades
Severance, of Nooksack; Atkins, of
ISumas; Linnell, of Van Zandt; Mrs
Wallner, of Bellingham; Milt John
son, of Anti-War, and Hansome, of
the Normal school,
The convention completed the coun-
ty organization by electing the follow
ing committees and officials: Execu-
tive committee, Milton Johnson, Anti
War; Peter Zobrist, Bellingham; j.

Anti-War; Mark futile, Beach. Sec

SECOND SIMPLIFY LECTURE
DRAWS FULL HOUSE AT
MARYSVILLE.

Nearly every seat in the Grand thea
ter was filled last Monday evening
upon the occasion of Comrade May
nard Shipley's second lecture in Marys-
Vile. Owing to a landslide on the
Great Northern tracks, the speakers
train was over half an hour late. But
good music kept the large audience
good-natured until the lecturer ar
rived.
Taking for his subject "The Rise and
Fall of the Capitalist System" Com
rade Shipley gave a most interesting
and instructive outline sketch of eco
nomic evolution, tracing the industrial
history of mankind from the primitive
anarchic horde on through tribal COM
munism, the chattel-slave system
feudalism, and the rise and develop
ment of the present capitalist system.
Comrade Shipley handled his diff
cult subject in such a way that even
the young boys and girls present fol
lowed his narrative with the closest
attention throughout. l think / am
voicing the feeling of all present in
saying that the editor Of the Common
wealth has materially aided us in lay
ing the foundation for strong, en-
lightened, and class-conscious Socialist
organization in Marysville.
We are glad to announce that ar
rangements have been made with
Comrade Shipley for another lecture
in the Grand theater on Monday, jan
uary 10, when he will speak on "Pov-
erty, It's Cause and Cure" the talk to
be illustrated by one hundred stere-
opticon views.

NEW YEAR EVE MUCH EN-
JoYED BY HAPPY EVER
EFT REDS

II was happy company of about a
hundred Socialists who met at party
headquarters last Wednesday evening
to watch the old year out After the
program and supper, which all en-
joyed. the crowd resolved itself into
groups all buslly engaged in discuss
ing ways and means OF carrying on
our work. Several quite original plans
we're advanced which will be carried
out I'm the near future; OF which more
later. There is no doubt that these
gettings together are proving of the
greatest possible good to the organi-
cation. Volunteers to do different
kinds of work were. numerous; here
several who wished to take part in
the next program, three or four wish
ed to know in what ways they could
be of assistance to the Commonwealth,
some necessary carpenter work was
arranged for, etc. We want everyone
to attend these affairs. 1t will do you
good. Plans for the next one, which
will take place about the second week
in February, are already under way.
Watch for announcements.
