John M Broeks' Letter Of Acceptance Of Socialist Party
 Nomination For Delegate To Congress

l believe it is the duty of every true Socialist to give to the Socialist Party and the class it@epresents the best there isin him.
 It is fer'this reason that l accept the nomination for Del *egate to Congress, given to me by the Socialist Party of Alaska. It came to me unso- licited, l accepted it that l m 'ght beof service to the men, women and children who are doing the worlds work. My chief aim as a can didate will be to serve the So 'cialist party and the cause it represents.
 The Socialist party is the,only party that is not founded on exploitation of the worlds workers hy the masters of the bread. The Socialist par aty alone stands for equal op- .portunity to.all, that every man, woman and child may have the right >toan edlsca- ,ttion, to be developed to their highest efficiency, physically, mentally, morally and other wise. Socialists believe there issomething morein life than ten hours work and three meals each day.
 The workers of the world are beginning to realize that they are entitled to more of 4he good things that make life worth livinr.
 All the Republicans, Demo- crats and Progres;ives have togive the toiler is long hours 'o1 labor, idleness, ,adulterated foods, shoddy clothing and a l bunk. house to live in.
 Theyhave driven with the whip of hunger millions of our women and children into the mills and factories, that their very souls may be turn ted into gold, while strong men are tramping the high ways and the by-wlys look ing, for jobs,
 ; For Our club rooms they have given us the saloon and the dive. For places of enter- tainment they have given us the cheap picture shows. In place of houses that are fit forhuman beings to live in, they have given US the red light districts and the Caba- ret. They have giv m us. the soup houses and the bread lines. They have given us ,chain gangs and jails for. ask ing for the privilege to live.

the tramp looking for a job. A woman orchid will produce from ten to thirty times as much wealth with a modern machine as 3 man could in the days of the hand tool. As the machine becomes more complicated and more eXpen- sive. the wealth of the nation has become concentrated iD- to fewer hands, as conpeti- tlon grew ke4ner and keoner, the owners of the great ma chimes were forced to organ- lza into great trusts. in order to perfect these grea! org.sI.- izat.ons, it was necessary to organize on the political field, consequently they have con- trolled every branch ot gov ernment from the township Ito the national. They con rol the Press, the church and the school. Their great poli- tical machine has become so perfected that this is the on- .ly country on earth where la bor has no voice in the mak- ing of these laws under which we live.
 The Socialists realize that the masters are using every means at their command to keep the workers divided on the political field and so long as they succeed, we are bound to misery and hag- gard want.
 It remains for the Socialist par ty to abolish and destroy this most monstrously cruel system, not only to destroy it, but to es- ,tablish 8 new cooperative order of society. We must organize on the political field and the iudus- trial. We must educate that we may be fitted to operate and COL trol the means of reduction and distribution ir the interests of all the people instead of the few, that every man may have the right to work and enjoy the full products of his toll. The realiza- ton of this aim will mean the ah- clifton of the class struggle. We appeal to the working men and women of Alaska and ali those who are in sympathy with or cause to unite with Us in our et- fort to drive from the earth this cruel monster capitalism with all it's vices and crimes, tat We may establish the new social or der where mankind will fer the first time ia history, basE in the sunshine of true life. Working men and women, this new ciyili1- ation can be realized il the work ing classes will capture the poiiti cal power of the state andrG.ation and use this power in tie inter ests of all the workers.

J
 are full to overtlowing. Pros
 titution, want, bitter tears,
 disease, death, at last the
 Potters's field all of this is thereward for our patience.
 The end isnot yet. The cost of living is going higher and higher, consequently the stan dard of living is going lower
 and lower, as wages are not
 increasing in proportion to
 the constant rise in the cost
 of living.
 For ages we have been on
 our pended knees, pleading
 with this monster for the right to live as human beings should liv,.e We have asked for shorter hours of labor, higher wages, better condi- tions under which to work and live, but without avail.
 The best they. have given us has been bullets, bayonets, buIlpens and jails. They have shot and wounded our women and children in cold blood. Thousands have starved in this land of plenty. Look at Ludlow, Calumet, West Vir- ginia and last but not least, Alaska. Men were most bru- ,trlly driven and robbed in many cases of all they pro- duced. For simply asking for better conditions they were .hounded and jailed. The same forces that were used in Lud low, Calumet and West Vir- ginia were used in the Tana- na.
 Working men and women are beginning to see a new light. They realize that in or der to live as we should live, we as a class must own the machinery of production and the means of distribution. These must be democraticaIly 'owned.and controlled by the people who are doing the worlds work. In order to bring this about we must or ganize on the political field as well as on the industrial field. Without political power we are helpless. For years and years there has been a contin uous warfare between Labor and Capital. Organized labor
 with empty stomachs, pitted against organized greed with all thepowers of government at their command. Labor
 with but few exceptions has been most brutally treated,
 blacklisted, shot and jailed. We have no doubt made some
 gains in higher wages and shorter hours. In the mean time the great machine has taken the place of the hand tool and the women and chil-

JUDGE STEELE'S RECORD
In the Ten Years He Has Decided
More Than 5000 Cases

For sixteen years he has been Judge
of the District Court of this District
During that period he has decided more
than 5000 cases and less than 100 oil
his decisions have been modified OF
reversed by the Supreme Court. The
records show that his decisions have
| been more uniformly affirmed than
those of any other District Judge in
Idaho.
The District presided over by Judge
Steele is the largest in the State. 1t
of the State; one-sixth of the popula-
ton; one-sixth of the taxable property
and one-sixth of the legal business Of
the State There are eleven other
District Judges in Idaho. During the
year 1913 the records show that there
were filed in the Court of this District,
1873 civil cases. The records also show
that the average number of cases filed
in each of the other Districts of Ida
no for the same year, was 251.
In addition the cases originally fl
ed in the District Court, during 1913,
there were tried, approximately 100
criminal cases determined for the last
year.
1t will be noticed that the volume
of business transacted by Judge Steele
is double that of the average District
Judge in Idaho. Notwithstanding, this
volume of business, the calendars have
been cleared of business at every court !
and are now practically cleared of bus !
ness.
Judge Steele has given particular at
ention in every County of the District
o keeping down the expenses of the
Court and this has been pursued to
uch an extent that although the vol
me of business has more than doubl-
d, the expenses of the District Court
n all of the five counties for the past
tx years have not exceeded 100000
er year, which is about one-third the
expended per annum by his
PREDECESSOR. II
Upon this record Judge Steele stands
nd asks the voters to judge of the
lture by the past.

Movement Against Liquor

petite for liquors; despite the organ
lied attempt of local and outside H.
quor makers and dealers to break
down prohibitory legislation; despite
the wanton disregard Of their oaths
by enforcement officers here and
there, the prohibitory policy has won
its way in the last seven years until,
instead of having three states with a
population of about two million and
half under the Statewide prohibit
tory policy, we now have nine states
having adopted the prohibitory policy
with population of over 14A mil
/ lions of people. In addition to this,
under various forms of local prohibit
ton or local option, which prevails in
the majority of the remaining states,
1t is safe to say that not less than 70
per cent. of the territorial area of the
United States is free from the legal
lied liquor traffic, and fully half of
our total population is living in such
territory.
While there are still isolated places
in which prohibitory law is openly de-
fled, yet undeniably the country over
there is better enforcement of such
legislation than has hitherto obtained,
and unquestionably the trend is up
ward along this line. Virginia has
just passed what is known locally as
the enabling act" by which a vote
will be had on Statewide prohibition
in the Old Dominion next September.
Similar contests will engage the cleo
torate this year in Washington, Ore
gon, Colorado and California. 1t is
almost foregone conclusion that the
states of Texas and Idaho with posi-
bly, one or two others, will engage in
a Statewide prohibition fight in 1915,
and with splendid prospects of sue

Then you will feel great.

creased universally of the prohibition
movement. Science is teaching the
baneful effects of even moderate
drinking and is showing the loss of
efficiency by even indulgence in intox-
icating liquors; railroad companies
are more stringently enforcing their
regulations against drinking by en-
ployes and for total abstinence and
the non frequenting of saloon both
while on and off duty. Besides the
ordinary regulations in the plants of
many of the large employers of la
for, for the welfare of their employees
and for their own protection under
the liability laws of states and nation,
these corporations are beginning to
adopt the policy of increased pay for
total abstainers and of paying wages
by checks which are not cashable in
the saloons. These conditions, to-
gether with the splendid reports of
which have come to prohibition states
like Maine, Kansas, North Carolina,
North Dakota, Oklahoma and others,
have demonstrated the wisdom and
value of the prohibitory policy, until,
within the past two months, the Pitts
burg Board of Trade passed reso-
luton urging curtailment of local
liquor licenses in their home county
and went on record in favor of the
submission of national constitution
al prohibition amendment.
We are not engaged in a srirmish
with the liquor traffic. We are in a
great war. There may be here and
there a momentary setback; there
may come now and then temporary
repulse from some unwisely planned
or some ill-advised attack,
but with the youth of the country
being taught in the public schools the
evil results of liquor drinking and
with the whole machinery of the
Christian churches of practically every
name and creed more carefully and eff
ficiently geared for cooperative &C.
ton against the liquor habit and traf-
fic, there can be no doubt as to which
side will win the ultimate victory.
