COMRADE JOHN DeQUER
MEETING WITH GREAT
ENCOURAGEMENT
Many Locals Have Arranged for
His Lecture Course With
Stereopticon Views
WILL WORK NORTH OF SNoHO-
MlSH DURING DECEMBER


Many locals throughout the state
have already arranged with comrade
John DeQuer for one or all of his II.
Illustrated science and sociology lee
lures, to be given during the winter
His plan of giving a dollars worth of
Washington Socialist cards for every
dollar taken in on the lectures is much
appreciated b. comrades who wish to
keep up an unceasing educational and
propaganda campaign from now until
November, 1916! That's the spirit
that wins, and makes a winning stick.
AS comrade EeQuer said in his an
nouncement last week.
"The success or failure Of Socialism
depends to great extent upon the
quality, as well as upon the quantity
of the Socialists Education of the
masses Is absolutely essential to the
permanency of our success. Years of
experience as an active worker and
teacher of the Socialist cause has
convinced me of this beyond a sha-
dow of doubt. Education must take
the place of ignorance among the
workers upon, not only economies,
but upon many vital problems that
affect life,. its history and its rela-
ton with, and to- the universe about
them
Comrades or locals who desire
further information regarding this
work should communicate at once
with State Secretary l.. T.. Katterfeld,
315 Commerce Building, Everett, Wn.

1t Is semi-offlcialIy announced that

AT the beginning of the war most
of the Russian people were conscious
of the necessity Of defending the dig
nifty and integrity of the fatherland.
and were unanimous In assisting the
authorities in the accomplishment of
the tasks incurred by the operations
of war An altogether different atti-
tude was observed by some members
of the Social-Democrat association,
which continued an activity aiming at
the downfall of Russia's military pow
er by means Of an anti-war agitation,
the distribution of secret proclama-
tons and the conducting of propa-
ganda by word of mouth.
THE government in October learned
of plan to convole a secret confer
ence of delegates of the SocialDemo-
cratic organizations to discuss meas
ures aiming at the ruin Of the Russian
state and the speedy realization of re
evolutionary plans.
ION November II the police dis
covered that meeting of the said
conference was to be held in house
