Secretary Resigns
The Socialist party of Idaho will be
sorry to learn that they are losing
from the state office one of our ablest
workers, Secretary-elect Comrade Ell
da B. Comfy. Comrade Comfy has &C
copied position as bookkeeper at the
National office in Chicago. SO while
Idaho loses her direct services, she is
rendering the organization in general
greater service than before. Her
resignation from this office follows
To the Members Of the State Execu-
tive Committee, Socialist Party of
Idaho:
Dear Comrades
Having accepted a position in the
National Office of the Socialist Party,
| am therefore rendering my resigna-
ton as State Secretary of the Social
list Party of Idaho.
Since | awoke six years ago to the
appalling injustice of the present So
cial conditions and the great motive
of the Socialist movement, to promote
it's advance and to help achieYe its
mission has been my sole purpose.
1t is with no little regret that | am
severing my connections officially
with the Socialist Party of Idaho, and
| shall always cherish the memory of
those who have remained loyal and
who can be found in the front ranks
at all times fighting for human eman-
cipation.
Socialism is our ultimate goal; it is
the one thing that we must not lose
sight of; it is our only way out of the
thraldom of wage slavery and econo-
mic injustice, and we must unite in our
efforts to attain it. In words of Rev.
dictionary days, eve must hang to-
gether or we will hang separately"
Our strength lies in unity of purpose,
in a strongly welded organization
which nothing can sever. In a disor-
gained condition we are helpless, but
organized we can shake Capitalism to
its foundation. The Capitalist class
organizes to exploit the working class.
The working class must organize to
resist and overthrow this system of
exploitation.
We are just entering upon what is
probably the greatest campaign of the
age and when the reports begin to
come in this fall | shall look first of
all to see what Idaho has done, for |
shall feel deeply interested in the
movement of that state. | shall re-
tain my membership there and shall
continue to be one in the ranks.
And now, Comrades, in closing, l
want to urge you, one and all, to keep
your eyes on the paramount issue; it
is the only thing worth while; the on
ly road to economic freedom and So
cial justice.
Yours in revolt,
