OUR GREAT OPPORTUNITY

The Enemy HopeIessIy Divided
Never before have such deep and
fundamental currents of opinion so
riven apart the opposing political
parties as we shall witness in the ap-
preaching campaign, and this it is
that affords US the supreme opportun-
ity. 1t follows of course that to take
advantage of it we must keep our So
cialism on straight lines, and not al
low the issues we raise to become
confused in the witches brew of state
capitalism, new nationaIism, single
tax and similar fakes, progresslvism,
prohibition and utopian anti-mili-
tarism.
! shall mention few of the rocks
that promise to render capitalist poll
tics asunder and afford us the special
opportunity ] am harping upon. The
War and MiIitarlsm. This will UNI
doubtedly continue to be the chief
topic of public and private discussion
for some time to come and will af-
ford the chief provocation of factions,
at least in the democratic party, which
it has already torn in twain, as will
be seen when the yawpings of the
hysterical press and it's support of
President Wilson are withdrawn; I'M
covering the duplicity and hypocrisy
of his administration, to say nothing
of its stupidity and incompetence.
The democracy, essentially and ira
ditionally the party of reaction, will
then be revealed as a party of two op-
posing camps.
For eighteen years Bryan has been
the strongest man j his party,
whether in public or private life, and
still is. No matter how much fun is
poked at him, the fact that the admin
istration double-classed him is sure to
disgruntle that large following which
has stood by him since his "cross- Of
gold-crown-of-thorns" speech, which
standing by at Baltimore enabled him
to dominate the last democratic ma
tional convention. Profiting by the
inevitable reaction from the Wilson
regime and what with his grape-juice
proclivities he will emerge stronger
than ever, dividing the party press
and sentiment. Hence it will be seen
that the democratic party will found

NON-PARTISAN FALLACY

The history of the present as well
as of all hitherto existing societies
is one of class struggle. The issues
raised by the Socialist party must end
in revolutionary reconstruction of
society, else the struggle will never
never end; for the reason that labor
on its part can never be wholly crush
ed and beyond hope of revolt. With
the material interests of the voters
in implacable conflict, the very words
''non-partisan politics" are a paradox,
a contradiction in terms, an absurd,
piebald lie! THE PARENT mon
PARTISAN" SCHEME, AND ALL IT'S
LITTLE SCHEMELETS, ARE A
STRICTLY PARTISAN EFFORT TO
ESCAPE THE RISING TIDE OF So
CIALISM. No Socialist worthy of his
card will be beguiled in this fashion,
no matter how pleasingly and with
what show of Righteousness the trap
pers set their snares. Confessedly
there are prominent ScnemerS IN our
own party, some of them with reputa-
lions as slicksters and for treachery,
who keep edging up with non-partisan
proposals. The time approaches when
we should denounce them by name and
kick the traitors out without ceremony
and without regret: Then there are
the plain boobs,-but Of opportunism
