HERE'S SOMETHING Big
Bangor, Wash, June ID. ~

Do"' CofhrdueB. h1tBaD and KIM
counties are launching an experiment
In efficient propaganda that will need
the hearty cooperation of every So
-cialist within our borders to achieve
the success It merits. Il is the First
Annual Encampment Of the Socialists
and sympathizers of Western Wash
ington at Olalla, near the southern
border of Kitsap county on the West
Passage around Vashon island, be
tween Tacoma and Seattle.
The spot selected-the farm of com
rade w. Il. Westerman, adjoining the
boat landing; an ideal picnic place
An orchard, gently sloping to tide
water with some virgin forest back
ground. AS romantic as youthful
hearts in love with nature and each
other could desire.
The grounds face the beach where
CLANS can be secured In abundance
and the evening old-fashioned clam
bake on the eve of July 4, will be
one of the festive events of Western
washington that each participant will
long remember.
A huge dancing pavilion will be
constructed just in the forest edge
where tripping the hight fantastic
toe" can be INDUCED in by all parties
so inclined. An orchestra of five
pieces will be chartered for the en-.
tire three days, and dancing can be
INDUCED in at regular intervals dur.
ing daytime as well as evenings.
An old-time chicken dinner''-'1ike
your mother used to make. will be
served by the comrades on Sunday
and Monday. Substantial refreshments
Will be served all corners at reasonable
rates, at all times during the encamp-
ment
A match baseball game is a special
feature for each day from 30 to 3: ~
p. m. Olalla will strive to retain
their erstwhile and present honors
against Vashon Island on Saturday
July Bird. Bremerton Navy on Sun
day, July 4th; Springfield (Pierce
Coz on Monday, July 5th.
Many other sports and games and
feats of strength and skill will be in.
terspersed between lectures from sew.
eral of the best propaganda speakers
OF the Socialist movement.
Mary l.. Geffs, of whom splendid re.
ports come from all sources, will be
the opening speaker from 7 to 9
o'clock p. M, on July 3rd.
Emil Herman, now making an or
ganizing tour of Kitsap county, will
deliver splendid effort from $3.50 to-
$3.50 p. m. on July 4th A symposium,
short talks few minutes each free
for all will be the agreeable feature
from 10 a. m. to IL of the same day.
The evening Grafton will be given by
that thrilling propaganda, comrade
Kate Sadler, our national committee
member.
Comrade Carl Ulonska, the most eff
ficient organizer, orator and county
secretary of Snohomish county, will
address the encampment from 10 a.
m. to II noon on Monday, the 5th.
Comrade Glenn Hoover, of the
Herald staff, closes with his best eff
fort, from $3.50 to 80 in the after.
noon.
The sports and games interspersed
between talks, ETC., will give splendid
zest and afford diversion from too
much intellectually. Questions about
and discussions of all addresses will
be in order, to bring to the surface all
salient points and how best to apply
the helpful suggestions announced.
1t is hoped that every Socialist and
sympathizer, together with many of
our political opponents may be pres
ent during the entire session.
The profits, if any, are to be divided
between the King and Kitsap county
organizations, and as we have several
annoying, down-dragging debts to H.
quidate, let us hope that the amount
may exceed our most sanguine expec-
tations. Each should add their mite
that we may make our little island
like county shine as the best in Wash
ington.
Pierce and Snohomish counties will
send large excursions, doubtless to
swell the throng. 1t is also expected
that special excursions will be arrang-
ed from Bremerton and Poulsbo and
vicinity for July and 5, to carry all
who wish to attend
So, comrades, if you have dimes or
SIS to spend on "The Glorious Fourth, -
come to Olalla, and spend every cent
of it in the Comradeship Circle, where
every penny of profit will go into the
propaganda purse to carry on the
