Every Vote For A Socialist
Candidate A Vote For PROGRESS

I looming presidential campaign.
Dangerous as this campaign Is.
threatening as IL does the democratic
institutions and historical traditions
of this peacefully developing republic,
it's greatest harm lies In becloudlna
the real issues which confront Amer
lea and postponing for generations the
solution of those problems to which
an answer must be given II the repub-
lie Is to live.
During the last decade there has
been a greater awakening of the So
cial conscience than at any time in
/ the history of the American people.
Under the pressure Of the Socialist
movement labor legislation began to
engross the attention of legislatures,
both state and national.
All this progress is now menaced.
At no time in the history of this
country was it so important to elect
Socialist representatives as It Is to-
day. The idea of political equality has
been preached too long not to have
become q part of the very life Of the
people. In other countries large
groups of men have become accus-
toned to the idea that they belong to
an inferior race and that they cannot
rise out of the caste or class in which
they were born. There the fatal con
tradiction between political democ-
racy and industrial despotism is not
so serious.
In the United States 1t becomes
more and more evident that II 10 i'm.
possible to reconcile the Ideal Of po-
liticaI equality with the present con-
dltion of industrial anarchy and des-
potlsm.
The problem which confronts us Is
not problem of men; it Is prob.
lem Of policies. There is a great deal
of political vileness and filth, but
that is not the main evil. The prob
lGh WulCh VIC DOCidllDIb BTdpplt
with is the problem of poverty. We
refuse to believe that poverty Is a
divine institution. We refuse to con-
cede that unemployment, ignorance,
crime and misery are irremedial evils.
To eliminate poverty we demand an
extension of industrial democracy.
Our voice should be heard in every
Legislative body. In the board of al
dermen, the assembly, senate or con-
gress, wherever laws are framed, our
viewpoint should be heard and our
philosophy presented. If the lawmak.
ing power is to be invoked at all, it
should be invoked on behalf Of the
downtrodden.
Every vote for the candidates of
the Socialist party will help push the
world forward.

BY Congressman Meyer London

On the third day of November, 1914,
and after years of ceaseless effort, the
Socialist party succeeded in winning
n seat in congress. The term to
which | have been elected began on
the 4th day of March, 1915.
Under the constitution of the Unit
ed States, congress must convene on
the first Monday of December of each
year unless called in the meantime
in special session.
There having been no special ses-
sion, the first regular session of the
sixty-fourth congress, to which have
been elected, will begin on the 9Th
of December, 1916.

part of my time to the study of the
questions which are likely to come up
before congress and to the working
out of modest program of action.
The election of Socialist by the
great East Side was hailed all over
the country as something more than
a Socialist victory. Leading news
papers interpreted our victory as a
victory not only for the principles of
Socialism, but a declaration of po-
litical independence by the voters of
the East Side and as a. triumph of
the nobler and purer elements of our
people.
We live in most intense period of
the worlds history. 1t looks as If all
the elements and powers Of evil and
darkness have united to crush all
that has been gained by mankind in
the painful process of centuries of
evolution.
The world is hypnotized by hatred.
Men have ceased to be men and have
become patriots. Europe has been
turned into a SHAMELESS, and all hui
man voices are drowned by the voice
Of the cannon.
All laws have been disregarded and
only one law rules supreme, the law
Of physical force. All codes of eth
les and religion yielded to the code
of artillery.
The madness and the insanities of
the European conflict could not but
have disastrous effect upon the pc.
Iitical life of the United States. Mil

belief that the country is confronted

Six Years on It's Own Floor
Score 20 to IA.
TEAMWORK OF LOCALS A PUZZLE

For the first time in six years the
Mcintosh high . school basketball
team met defeat on it's home floor
when it was humbled by the fast
Bemidji quint last evening by score
of 20 to IA. Although probably one
OF the roughtest contests ever played
by the local team, the game was not
without spectacular plays and the
team work of the Bemidji boys puz-
zled the heavier Mcintosh men.
Tanner and Johnson, at forwards
completely outplayed, their guards.
Cameron at center outjumped his man
repeatedly and held him without a
basket. Graham brothers at guards,
succeeded in breaking up the Nc
1ntosh team work and only two field
baskets were allowed the opposing

During the first half, time was
taken out because of interference
from the rOOters.
The lineup for the local team was
as follows: Tanner and Johnson,
forwards; Graham brothers, guards
Cameron, center; Warfield, sub; Ma
lone, referee; Riley, timekeeper.
Those who accompanied the team as
rooters were, Harold White, Edwin

VICTORIOUS SAY :
FRENCH, REPULSEO E.
CLAIM GERMANS

Berlin, Jan. 9.-French claims of
success in scissors and eastern Ar
gonne region, have been fatty con-
tradicted by the German officials, who
instead declare that the French have
been repulsed at every attempt to
gain ground and lost very heavily.
A series of torrentia1 rains, closely
resembling cloudbursts, have swept
the battlefront of Flanders and
northern France and overlooking the
surrounding country. In the coun-
try north of Siossons it is reported
that attacking French forces have
been repulsed with heavy losses, the
Germans using huge granades to a
great advantage, and in the ArgOn-
mes region, the Germans, particularly
Luxembourg and Hessian divisions,
stormed the French positions and cap
tured twelve hundred prisoners. In
the vicinity of Fluery the Germans
advanced into mined trenches but
were abandoned as the trap was
blown.

SAN FRANCISCO TO OPEN
MUNICIPAL AUDITORIUM

San Francisco, AIN. 9.-San Fran
cisco's new municipal auditorium will
be opened tonight. A grand fancy
ball will be the first gathering under
it's roof. The auditorium is gener-
ally classed as one of the 1915 ex-
position buildings. It was, in fact,
built jointly by the exposition COM
pany and the city. Unlike the
buildings on the exposition grounds,
however, it is a permanent structure,
forming part of the magnificent
group of civic center edifices now in
course of erection. Its cost was ST.
100000 and it is larger by 5000
square feet than New York's Madison
Square Garden. The city authorities
and the exposition company will CO.
operate in making the dedication the
most brilliant function of the kind
ever held on the Pacific coast.

FRIENDS TO PAY COSTS
ler-Kennedy Cass County Sheriff
Contest Case Will Take Several 6
- ss Weeks in Trial. =.
BOTH HAVE MANY WITNESSES

The fight being waged at Walker
between w. P. Mohler and Mack
Kennedy for the Office of sheriff Of
Cass county has assumed proportions
never dreamed of by the contestants.
From the small beginning of mere
recount of the ballots cast at the No

been carried into the district court
for adjucation and the expenses are
being paid from funds raised by
friends of the contestants by popular
subscription. -, -. ...sy<s, T..
On the face of the election returns
Kennedy was elected to the office by
the narrow margin of four votes.
Mohler demanded recount. When
this was completed Kennedy's major
ity had narrowed to one vote. Dis
puted ballots then were taken before
the district court and a struggle be-
gan which will occupy the attention
of the court for weeks.
Mothers case, presenting instances
of alleged illegal voting, fraud and
violations of the corrupt practices
act is not yet completed. Kennedy
has issued subpoenas for rs persons
from every part of the county, and it
will take three or four weeks to pre-
sent his case.
Six lawyers have been brought in
to the case, three by each of the con-
testants. E. E. Mcdonald of Be-
midi, Charles La Du of Minneapolis
and Eugene L. Forbes of Pine River
represent Mohler, and A. l.. Thwing
of Grand Rapids, and Daniel De Lury
and J. S. Scribner of Walker are
counsel for Kennedy. Judge B. F..
Wright of Park Rapids is hearing the
case.
