THE SOCIALIST CONVENTION.
rull State Ticket 10 Chosen and Reso-
tiOns Adopted.

Columbia, May 8.-The Socialist
party of South Carolina held it's
state Convention in this city yester-
day. Delegates from different sec
tions Of the State were present, and
1T is said that much enthusiasm was
shown.
The platform adopted at the pre-
Vious convention, with a few changes,
was readopted.
Reports were made by the dele
gates Of progress Of the movement all
over the State. Resolutions in re-
gard to preparedness were adopted
as follows:
Whereas, the nations of Europe
are now plunged In bloody conflict
and the workers of those countries
are the victims Of devastating war in
a competition Of the capitalists of
these countries for the markets of
the world; and
Whereas, this country is threaten
ed with the same fate for the COM
mercial interests Of the business
class; and
whereas, our present government,
under the dominion of the great cap
itallSts, is increasing all prepara-
tons and armamentS of war, which
policy, If carried out, will force us to
desert our previous policy Of peace
and progress and plunge us into the
horrors and brutalities of militarism:
therefore be it
Resolved, That we oppose all acts
OF Congress and Of the President, and
or other officials, looking towards
making us military power and de-
veloping the military spirit, and we
oppose the system OF capitalism,
which is the cause Of all wars.
