ATTORNEYS
RESOLUTION OF
PARTY TACTICS

Whereas, the Socialist Party is the
political expression of material inter
ests of the working class; and,
Whereas, the emancipation of the
workers can only be accomplished
through the education of the workers
in fundamental science and econom-
les and their organization upon the in
dustrial and political fields; and,
Whereas, the Socialist philosophy
teaches that the institutions of So
ciety, religious, political, legal and
ethical are merely the reflex of the
existing economic order; and,
Whereas, the way to destroy cap
italism is to take possession of the
means of production and distribution
and the political power of the capital
list class by means of economic and
political working class solidarity; and,
Whereas, the Socialist political and
lecture platforms and its Socialist lit
erature are for the purpose of teach
ing fundamentals of science and eco
Monies; and
Whereas, the Socialist lecture plat
form, literature and political plat
form are not intended to be primarily
anti-clerical; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we condemn the tao
tics of those that commit the fallacy
of emphasis by forgetting to discuss
economics and science on the Social
list platform and confine themselves
to ill-considered and superficial at
tacks upon the moribund religio-polit-
zeal institutions of our time; there
fore, be it
Resolved, That we demand that all
those nominated on the Socialist tick
ct by this convention and all those APP
pearing upon our platform in the State
of Oregon, confine themselves princi-
pally to the discussion of economies,
the philosophy of Socialism, it's po-
litical program and tactics, knowing
that the education of the workers in
the fundamentals is the best means of
uprooting the medieval superstitions
in the minds of the workers.

at II o'clock Sunday, April 1, by state
Secretary McCone, l.. G. Boyd, of
Portland. was elected chairman, and
V. ]. McCone vice-charman, The usual
committees were elected The ere
dentials committee reported creden-
tails from 63 delegates, who came
from all over the state The report Of
the State Secretary showed very
substantial increase in membership
since the beginning of his incumbency.
The following were nominated ON the
Socialist ticket for the year 1916;
Secretary of State, +. l.. Cannon.
Supreme Court Judges, J. +. Hos
mer, c. J. Adamson.
Food and Dairy Commissioner, Don
aid W. Mckinnon.

Johnson and Aug, Nikula.
c. j. Anderson declined to run for

gress. Other Congressional nomina-
tons not made yet.
The convention was in many re
spects the most successful one in the
history of the Oregon Socialist Party.
| The proceedings were marked by har-
mony and dignity though there were
pronounced differences of opinion on
many questions, particularly the adop-
ton of an agricultural workers pro-
gram, which was finally adopted. The
Oregon Socialist Party, the first time
in history, has deliberately set out to
secure the support of the vast farmer

next year it will not be necessary to
circulate 1900 petitions in order to
get SO of the voters of Oregon to pc
tition the State in order that the So
cialist candidates may go on the bal
lot. This year the party is not legal,
and it is hoped that the vote will be
large enough this year to enable the
party to poll at least 5fe of the total
vote so that another year we may
nominate by convention.
The convention went on record as
being unalterably opposed to militar-
ism, and annexation of Mexico. The
convention laid plans for an increase
in membership and vigorous cam
paign.
The convention also adopted a reso-
luton calling upon our candidates and
all those appearing upon our platform
to refrain from playing into the hands
of the capitalist class by arousing re-
ligious prejudice and by ill-considered
attacks upon religious institutions.

PLATFORM
OREGON SOCIALIST PARTY
1916.

The Socialist Party of Oregon, as
sembled in State Convention, reaf-
firms its allegiance to the principles
of international Socialism and the So
cialist Party Of the United tSaes.
2.
The convention meets at the most
critical period of modern history, pc
Rod during which the red hell of war
yawns for millions of the human race.
3.
In the United States mercenary ed
itors, professional patriots, and jim
goes generally, seek through inspired
press reports to involve the people of
the United States in war. These
pleaders for one or the other of the
national ruling class of Europe seek
to Justify this proposed intervention
upon the false claims of national
honor" and the rights of nations"
These claims are but outWorn me-
diaeval notions entirely out of har-
mOny with the spirit Of modern dem
ocracy. Lurking behind the subter-
fuge Of national honor" are the deal
ers in munitions Of war, cowardly fl
nanciers who want a powerful army
and navy in order that they may en-
force collection Of interest on the gil
gantic loans which they have made.
The capitalists of America have en-
barked upon a period of commercial
expansion that is world wide; they de-
sire a military establishment in order
that their commercial supremacy may
be secure. They further desire war,
as it will provide markets for the con
sumption of the surplus wealth which
they have filched from the ill-paid
workers Of America. In addition to
their imperialist program they con
template the erection of a military sys-
TEN that will crush the workers at
home. They have heard the rumblings
of the social revolution. The indus
trial battles Of the last ten years make
them fear the power of an awakened
people. Preparedness" so-called, is
but the arming of the oppressor
against the oppressed.
5.
We serve notice upon the American
capitalists that we will not support
their military program. The agricul-
tural workers and the industrial
workers Of this nation are being rob
bed alike, by the same group of spe-
aial interest who are now loudly clam
oring for preparedness" We, the

49, Such farms should constitute

for crop culture, the use Of fertilizers

H. The formation Of cooperative
associations for agricultural purposes
should be encouraged.

that the elimination of farm tenantry

 FOR FILM SPECTACLE
 AT LYRIC NEXT WEEK

When one sees D. w. Griffith's wonderful film spectacle '"The Birth of a Nation and learns from it the many fact and sideHghts of American history that are not to be found in the school editions of history, the thought comes that the educational departments of the country are neg growing children. It is a known fact that the histories studied by the chil- dren in the South gave an entirely different version of the great strug- gle of 1861 than that which is given the schools Of the North.
 Then comes ''The Birth of a Ma ton" and in clean, impressive motion pictures, gives the real story of this great struggle and the spectator, be he a grown-up or a child, realizes that in his studies of the Great Rebellion he has learned but a small part of the actual history:
 For instance, it was new knowledge to many to learn that after the States of the Confederacy had signed peace. there were Northern statesmen who wished and urged the President to treat the rebellious states as con- quered provinces and to hang their leaders. This is but one of many things that are brought to light in, ''The Birth of a Nation for the first time to millions of people who

 The question arises in the minds of the many; SWhy are so many facts kept from the students in the schools l of the North and why should the lpeo- | pie of the South be given different version than the people of the 1 North ?' Why shouldn't there be one 1 history for the entire country and 1 that history absolutely truthful, un- l amr. e,I~r %1 1 sympathtes of either class? Must it remain for the motion pie 1 lures to give the people of the world the real truth of history and other educational matters? It would seem SO.
