Local Mullan
has contributed $1,000 to the state
campaign fund. Local Nez Perez with
only members in good standing has
contributed $500. Other Locals con-
trbuting to this fund are: Local Weis-
er $500, and Emmett, $1.25. Com
rade Robert Jacob, of Caldwell con-
tributed $100. Local Mullan gave us
an order for 200, 1916 campaign
stamps. Although the call for state
campaign funds has been out but a
few days we are beginning to think
that the Comrades over the state are
anxious that Idaho shall do her part
this fall. What action has your local
taken?

| COmrade A. B. Clark
our candidate for congress writes the
following:
Comrades of Idaho:-
| We are looking for a harvest OF
votes this fall. If there ever was g
time when so little divides the ole
Parties and SO much divides the So.
cialist Party, the present generation
cannot remember it. This is our OPP
portunity. If there is call from the
people for Working Glass legislation
they find today no answer from any
but the Socialists. They never did
but the Issue was never more clearly
drawn than now, for all the workers
to see it.
The politician in the White House
applying slick words and soft soap
is no more or less to be trusted by
Workers than the Trust-backed Splut-
tering Garpy, who, when a judge, de-
feated Justice for the Danbury Hat
ters. And the Bull Moose are gone
all but the Bull. Both the old Parties
have full title to it. 1t will never die
until Socialism wins.
But this harvest we look for, who
sowed it? Who plowed for it? Who
nourished it? The Organized Socialist
Party. Some of you who have been in
the Movement for years-it was you.
Some of us who have come in in the
last few years are hoping to reap
where YOU HAVE SOWED. And if
the Legislatures and Congress, the
Governors and the Presidents chairs
are to be in our harvest, somebody has
got to work lot harder, and lot
have got to work who never have done
much for the Movement yet. If you
sow wheat or potatoes you know you
have got to put in lot of labor or
you will have no harvest. It's the same
way with Socialism. You can have it
only when you want it bad enough to
work for it, and to work for it all the
time. There are too many who come
in with loud hurrah at election time
who stink out from under and leave
a few to carry the whole burden I'M
til the next election. It's the Organic
alton, Comrades that we have got to
