TO BE REGRETTED

1t is much to be regretted that so
many of the wage earners of Everett
saw fit to vote against their own
vital interests last Tuesday, while
many hundreds did not even have in
telligence enough to vote at all. AS
against the latter, we prefer even
those who voted against the Socialist
candidates. But, as the ancient
Greeks used to lament, Against stu
pidity the gods themselves contend
in vain" After all, the workers are
not to blame: it's the hellish system
that keeps them cowed and ignorant
that we Socialists are after. And
we're getting it, little by little. Truly
"The mills of the gods grind slowly"
But they grind, inexorably! The
workers must soon learn, or perish.

Having united their talents and

and Fraternal Hall the place chosen
for this the bi gevent of the year.
The sensation of the entertainment
will be some wonderful electrical eff

Geo. Lunn, Socialist
Wins in Schenectady

Comrade George Lunn, formerly
mayor of Schenectady, was returned
to that office by good plurality last
Tuesday. Two years ago the old
party forces combined in order to de-
feat the Socialist mayor for re-elec.
ton, and succeeded. But the past two
years have been devoted to strenuous
educational work on the part of the
Reds of that big city, and the vote
Tuesday is the proof Of the pudding"
Back Of the educational work of the
Schenectady comrades was a weII-dIs-
cipIned organization, and this it was
which made the educational work
possible. Organization! In this mag
ic word lies the key to lasting pro-
gress for the working class, industri-
ally and politically.

Sa|ter Leads Race
for Public Works
Clay Elected BY Majority Of 1865;
Indictment Weather and Apathy
Keep 2506 at Homo

The three present city commission
ers Of Everett were renominated and
Commissioner Of Finance w. II. Clay
was reelected by a majority Of 1905
In the primaries Tuesday.
In the finals, two weeks from Tues
day, November 16, G. e. Spurgeon
will contest T. J. Kelly's office OF
commissioner Of public safety, and
Dennis d. Merrill will run against
present Commissioner J. M. Salter.
The vote was 20 greater than the
total cast at the water bond issue
election on August "a. Though the
registration was 1909 greater.
Inclement weather and lack Of in.
terest kept 2506 voters at home.
The total vote was 5441, for CON-
missioner Of finance, out Of 7,947 reg
istered votes.

ARTICLE III.

Laboring under false conceptions
of what Socialists were like, many
were agreeably surprised to find that in
their dealings with Commissioner Sal
ter, in an official way. he proved to
be more fair and reasonable" than
any one who had occupied that posi-
ton in recent years.
This led others to ask: Can a man
be a good commissioner of public
works and good Socialist at the
same timer"
The editor of this paper has pre-
viously answered the question in the
following words:
yes, as long as Socialism's oppon-
ents do not attempt to put something
over that is detrimental to the inter-
ests of the working class.
Much OF the work Of city coun-
ell consists in passing ordinances and
resolutions and settling questions re-
lating to property rights.
ION all such questions Commission
er Salter has acted with fairness and
sound judgment.
"But on questions involving the
rights of labor he has ably voiced and
defended the interests of the work
ers."
Space will not permit our giving a
complete account of Salter's acts as
a member Of the city council. One
Of the first things he did was to
substitute an eight-hour day for
twelve-hour day in the case OF the
city bridge. This was done at no
extra expense to the taxpayer, as the
street superintendent, whose salary
was $1,000 per year, was dropped from
the pay roll, and the duties of that
office assumed by Commissioner Sal
ter.
A few weeks later Commissioners
Clay and Kelly showed their hand by
putting the care of the bridge on a
contract plan, over SaIte's protest.
Anu YET clay, at ledSI, prSLeuuS W
favor a union scale of hours and
wages!
Knowing that labor had a real rep
resentative on the city council, the
bartender's union asked that the spe-
cial license imposed upon bartenders
be repealed. Salter's activity in their
behalf resulted in the ordinance be-
ing repealed, an ordinance which pro-

vided that bartenders pay to the city
license Of $40 before being allowed
to engage in their line of work.
Salter believes in the utmost free
dom OF speech, and proposed to re-
move all restrictions to street speak.
ing. Mr.. Kelly was for the greatest
restriction; finally, Salter supported
a compromise ordinance proposed by
Mr.. Clay, that removed some Of the
restrictions.
When local censor board for NOV
ing picture shows was proposed, Sal
ter came out squarely against it at
once. Clay and Kelly wavered awhile
but finally decided not to push the
idea against Salter's opposition.
The success Of the day-labor plan
of city improvements was demonstrate
ed under Mr. salter's charge.
ISHINGLE WEAvERS' STRIKE
During the shingle weavers' strike
the advantage Of working-class politi-
cal action was driven home to the
strikers.
Salter stood with the men from
start to finish. He advocated the use
of the police power to drive from the
city gunner and thugs, who made
all the trouble during the strike, and
opposed the hiring Of special police
men, at city expense, to protect the
imported violators of the law.
Last fall when suffering among the
unemployed threatened to become a
menace to the city, 1t was SaIter who
first urged the council to take notice
Of the evil and provide measures of
relief.
The measures he advocated did not
provide for $3.50 per day starvation
wage, neither.
This concludes series Of three ar
tieles which, if carefully read, must
have convinced the most prejudiced
and skeptical that, from any angle,
the department of public works may
be viewed, the present incumbent, J.
M. Salter, has handled that depart
ment, and acted on the council, in
such a highly commendable manner
that any one who has the interest of
Everett's working-class at heart, or
who is solicitous for the future well
fare of Everett as a growing manu-
featuring city, must vote to retain
Salter in the position he now holds,
Commissioner of Public Works.

HUNDREDS TURNED AWAY
AT SOCIALIST RALLY
MONDAY EVENING
Everett Theatre Filled to Over.
flowing BY $40

ORATOR MILLS ABLY ExPoUNDs
PRINCIPLES OF SOCIALISM
Hundreds OF disappointed men and
women were turned away from the
Everett Theatre last Monday evening
because every foot OF available space
was filled with people eager to see
and hear the three Socialist nomi.
nees Cor commissionerships
About 1900 people were seated in
the theatre-lts full capacity.
And Walter Thomas Mills was thera
with the goods!
No one can surpass Mills as q
campaign orator-at least no one that
we have heard. He knows just what
to say and how to say 1t. He's just
the right man for beginners" We
can teach them the class struggle af-
forwards.
1t was rousing meeting! Every
body wanted to get in. But not every
body that wanted to could. But for
the rain we would have held an out
door overflow meeting.
None of the other organizations or
individual candidates have been able
Ito get out hundred people, at one
time, during the whole campaign. But
the Socialists! Well, let's wait till
the votes are counted in the final cleo
ton.
But come what may, the splendid
educational work sfrat has been carried
on here in Everett, especially during
the past five weeks, can never be
undone, any more than one can I'M
scramble eggs. And, after all, it is
education, more than mere votes, that
counts. Well be very happy, though,
when we can have both at once.

For Commissioner of Finance
A Mothers Plea
BY Bert UlIad


Is it for this beneath my heart
felt his quickened being start;
Is 1t for this my woman's breast
Knew all the raptures of unrest;
Is 1t for this with bated breath
| challenge agony and death?-
For this: that on battle plain
His blood should leave its crimson
stain;
That tattered flesh and staring eye
In hideous carnage there should lie;
That bones should bleach and vul-
lures feast
For this: that like a slaughtered beast
He should lie there unmurmuring,
A sightless, crushed and mangled
thing?
Is 1t for this through weary years
OF unrelentless toll and tears,
or labor's grind, privation's ban
saw him grow from child to man
For this: to be the sport of money
kings,
The pawn Of all their barterings;
For this: that he should groan and
bleed
To satlate the monsters greed,
To give another port or town
To one who wears a puppet crown,
To add another empty brag
Unto the fetch Of flag
For this: my treasure turned to chaff,
That men might rule or that kings
might laugh?

LATER

1t is generally conceded that Can
andidate Merril's strength was about
shown in the primary, and that Sal
ter's vote will be considerably increas-
ed on Nov. 16. Even anti-Socialists
admit that Salter's reelection is now
a certainty.
