SHALL WE RECALL
VICTOR l.. BERGER

Dear Comrades:
Local Marion County, Indiana, mi
tiated the motion to recall Victor L.
Berger from the National Executive
Committee.
Locals from practically every state
in the country seconded the motion.
The referendum is now in the hands
of the local secretaries.
The reason for the recall is that
Victor L. Berger does not represent
the Socialist Party as to tactics and
on militarism.
Berger's contention that the plat
form of almost every Socialist Party
in Europe declares for an armed ma
ton, therefore we should do likewise,
in spite of the fact that he masters
have been able to use our fellow
slaves to go out and slaughter each
other for our rulers economic inter-
ests.
And on the ground that the Euro
pean Socialists have stood for mill
tarism, Berger is trying to foist a
like condition upon the Party in this
country.
In many of his speeches and news
paper articles he has advocated COM
pulsory military training for both
males and females, even Boosting that
his daughter is member of the
campfire girls which is an auxiliary
of the boy scouts. His position is
that the men be trained to carry arms
and the girls to do Red Cross duty.
Comrades, is that our position on
militarism? Does Berger represent
you on that most vital of questions?
At the May, 1915, National Com
mittee Convention, Berger spoke and
voted for motion that the Socialist
Party support good Capitalist candi-
dates where Socialists have been elm
mated, therefore advocating fusion
and compromise, so as to elect some
Of our hungry office seeking men,

that what we, the working class, are
organized for? Can we ever hope to
educate the workers to class conscious
political action so as to emancipate
ourselves?
Berger's argument against the re-
call is that he believes in free speech.
We do not want to take that privilege
away from him but we claim that as
member of the National Executive
Committee he is there to express the
opinion of the rank and file as ex-
pressed by an overwhelming majority
in a referendum vote, and as he has
persistently refused to do so, it be-
hooves US to relegate him to the ranks
with the rest of the members, where
his influence for disorganization will
be materially lessened.
If we would have the confidence of
the working class with the Socialist
Party, then recall Berger.
Let us be consistent.
Yours for united working class
in speedy revolution,
S. V. SADLER.

AT THE POLITICAL TOMB OF ROOSEVELT

time. Then saw him at the repub-
lican convention in 1912 in defeat and
disaster-driven by the bosses from
his party. | saw him recuperate by
the might Of his force and organize
a new political party with the slogan,
"Thou Shalt Not Steal" and then in
the next moment ! saw him grab out
right twenty planks from the plat
form of the Socialist Party, a move
ment which few years before, he
said was difficult to discuss in re-
spectacle paper. | saw him with
blatant tongue and vitriolic pen la
boring against every phase of social
emancipation for the working class.
And again ! saw him going about the
country mouthing democracy" "the
people" and all the stock phases of the
demagogue. Then ] saw him espous-
ing the doctrine that might makes
right. | saw him put the blood-cup
to the lips of the nation. | saw him
in an attempt to hypnotic a peaceful
nation that they might drink. And /
saw him once more go down in defeat
and to the political cemetery, never to
return. ] saw him with his hands
crossed behind, sick at heart, gazing
out upon the sad and turbulent sea of
politics. And the last words | heard
him say, "T'm through"
| thought of the friends and enc

that had been spent for his glory, and
of the only political party that ever
loved him, pushed from his heart by
the cold hand of INSCRIPTIONS ambi-

that poor miner, with my loving wife
by my side, mending the worn gar

with the children upon my knees and
their arms about me. | would rather

COMMUNITY PICNIC
AT OLYMPIA

Olympia, Wash, Aug. 81, 1916.
Editor Northwest Worker,
Everett, Wash.
Dear Comrade: Enclosed please
find fifteen cents for a new subscrip-
ton to your splendid paper.
The comrades gave what they were
pleased to call Community picnic"
in the park near Olympia yesterday.
Our candidate for governor, Comrade
Katterfeld, was the speaker of the
day and instructed the people on the
subject nearest the hearts of all,
namely, "The Dawn of Plenty" For
an hour and half he had the unin-
terrupted attention of his audience,
and his clear logic, his reinforced
facts, and his splendid appeal for Or
ganization have given new impetus
to the comrades Of Local Olympia.
We feel that the seed he has sown will
bring forth good harvest in the
near future.
Local Olympia sold clam chowder
and coffee on the grounds and thus
realized nice little sum for cam
paign purposes. They also disposed
of two and one-half dollars worth of
literature and added two new men,
bers to the local. Take it all in all,
yesterday was big day for US.
Yours for the New Dawn,
FRANCES SYLVESTER.

JOE HAZARD BACK AGAIN

Friends of Comrade Joe Hazard, at
one time editor of the Commonwealth,
now the Northwest Worker, will be
interested to know that he is back to
the Puget Sound country again. And
not only that, he has agreed to give
a talk sometime in the near future in
The Forum on the situation in Mexico
as he has seen it and understands it
from being there much of the time for
several years.
The exact date of Comrade Haz-
ards talk will be announced later.
Just now it is sufficient to say that
it will, in all probability, be some Sun
day evening in September.
