Up 10 the Present

there have been very few applica-
tons for dates with Comradc Werden.
We are very sorry to note this as we
would like to have every available
speaker at work during the campaign
The State Office
will move to more suitable loca-
ton in Il few days. We have been
successful in securing the upper floor
of building which has nice little
hall in connection which we can use
for propaganda meetings and other
purposes Mis- will not put the State
organizati4 to any farther expense
as the ext amount will be raised by
the State 4 retary.
Conhade +. J. Watson,
of local Kimberley had the misfor-
tune to loase one of his hands in an
accident u a building recently. We
are eXtreraely sorry to note the mis-
fortune as'under capitalism two hands
are not enough to earn more than a
mere existence.
81. This Month We Have Reports %.
from 80 locals. 1t shows that the
efforts o. the State Secretary is meet
ing with some success. We like to
work wherf our efforts are bringing
results. This report shows that we
have 760 members in good standing,
total membership of 984, with 1877
new members admitted during the
month. There were still 26 locals
that did not report. If those locals
had reported we could have shown
paid up membership of over 1000.
There will soon be another month to
report for. Let's see if we can't
show still larger membership next
month.
The Next Number of the Idaho Party
Builder
will be a campaign edition. For
this reason we will have to cut out

is to print two pages of campaign
matter in the Party Builder and then
run out about 10000 leaflets of the
same matter.

have 1000 platforms to distribute in

We Haven't Time
/ to push the Auto proposition just
j now TOO much campaign work on
hand. AS soon as the campaign is
over | expect to do all that l can to
sell subscriptions to the international
Socialist Review. We need a small
machine to enable US to reach the
outlying districts. 1t should be an
easy matter to sell the 600 subscrip-
lions.

/ She seems to be anxious to get into
the campaign. We are arranging a
meeting for her at Nampa for the
near future. We hope to have Com

time
