Local Outlook

have made their sixth contribution to
the state filing fee fund-this time
for $3.50 They have contributed
about $1,000, all told Walter Price,
our candidate for congress from the
Fourth district, who is secretary of
this Local, expects to make n cam
paign tour of the district during Octo-
Der and November.
Chelan County
will have a Socialist Party ticket in
the field, SO we are informed by Com
rade JAY Claude Black, chairman of
the county campaign committee. They
are also planning to hold a monster
open rally at Wenatchee on Oct. 3rd,
at which our candidate for governor,
l.. Il. katterfeld, is to be the principal
speaker.
Sedro-W oOlley Local
have made their second contribution
to the state filing fee, and it is Il big
one-$15.00 Their first one was $40.
Besides doing this for the state or
ganization they contemplate contri-
buting $1,000 to their county cam
paign committee for the purpose of
keeping an organizer in the field in
Skagit county during the campaign.
This Local consists of about % mem
bers who mean business.
Down on the Banks of the Columbia
River
we have thriving young Local at
Camas. They have already done great
work for young local in small
town, but they believe that the way
to get Socialism is to work for it.
They are arranging for a lecture by
our candidate for vice president, Geo.
X. kirkpatrick.
During the First Ten Days in Sept.
we received $64.61 on the state filing
fee. That is pretty good, but we still
need Sl65.52. 1t is not likely that
this will be contributed in time to file
our state candidates without leaving
a deficit in the filing fee fund. Hay
ing anticipated that some locals
would lay down on the job, without a
care whether we have a state ticket
in the field or not, held off paying
bills during August with the result
that we are prepared to pay the fees
for all state candidates. We will be
pleased to have those members who
have not yet contributed, wipe out the
deficit in the filing fee fund. We have
plans for rouslng campaign, but we
can not put them into effect without
funds.
An Appreciation

II; Bellingham, Oct. Is and 49,; Seat

speaking Socialists are asked to CO.

make this tour a success. Comrade

The Mill Owners of Everett
and their hangers on in the chamber
of commerce seem to think that they
own this town and can do just about
as they please and Judging from the
way they are able to manipulate the
county and city officials one is in
clined to believe that they are about
right. The Single Weavers of Ev-
erett are on strike and because the
bosses are afraid to have the facts
made public, they have decided to
abridge free speech and peacable as
semblage on the streets of Everett.
Being afraid, however, to do their
dirty work open and above board
they have sought refuge under the
cover Of the law and had some four
hundred of their kind sworn in as
special police.
