The Northwest worker. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1915-1917, 1916-09-07
Skagit and Whatcom Counties,
Attention

DtEinnlHB wv iSl, W. % OihiEci,
our candidate for Congress from the
Second district, will make two
weeks lecture tour OF Skagit and
Whatcom counties. Thus far we have
applications FOR him from Anacortes,
Bayview, Hamilton and Mt. Vernon
in Skagit county and Anti-War, Bel
hngham 1.-TWO dates), Clearbrook and
Sumas in Whatcom county. Please
notice that there are only five open
dates left. Get your application in to
the State Office at once. We will
make up the route and send out the
advertising next week.
Still Time
If your Local report has not yet
been sent in for the month of August,
remember that there is still time to
get it to the State Office before Sept.
18th. We should have 1913 Locals re-
ported for August. If each of you
see to it that your Local is reported
we will have complete report.
In Every Community
we have people who declare they are
Socialists and then they proceed to
give the lie to that statement, on one
pretense or another, by failing to ally
themselves with the Socialist Party
as dues paying and active member.
If you are one of these, wake up, join
the Socialist Party and prove to the
world that you are sincere in your
declarations and have the courage of
your convictions. If there is no Local
in your community, organize one or
join the party as member at large.
Two Hundred and Thirty Dollars
is what we still need to file our state
and congressional candidates. Have
you done your share? Will you be
one of those who will be recorded as
having helped make it possible to
have Socialist Party ticket in the
field in 1916, in the state of Washing
ton, in spite of the adverse circum-
stances we had to contend with, or
will you be numbered among those
who didn't care, didn't act and who
were content to let others do all the
work and bear all the expense neces-
sary to make it possible for you to
express yourself politically. factions
speak louder than words" Let us
hear you speak at least 25c worth be-
fore Sept. 18th.
Still Growing
While eighteen locals were stricken
off our list during August on account
of long inactivity, it is encouraging
to note that the remaining locals pur.
chased 218 more stamps than were
sold them in July and Gel more thar
in June. If our live locals keep ur
this gait the sleepy ones will gradu-
ally wake up and come back to life.

During August 80 Locals and Is M
A. LIS contributed $157.81 to the
State filing fee fund We now have
on hand total of $326.87 in this fund
1t was raised as follows:
Contributed by SO Locals (out

There still remains to be raised
$23O.13 in order to meet the expense
of filing our state ticket and we will
