Campaign Fund
By MAX SHEROVER,
Manager Million Dime Campaign
Fund.

FIFTY THOUSAND DIMES to-
ward the Million Dime Campaign
Fund being raised by the Socialist
Party have already been received.
Fifty thousand dimes from as many
workers throughout the country.
Fifty thousand dimes representing
that many little self sacrifices and
self denials, thrown into a pot to
make one huge working class fight
ing campaign fund.
No other party in the history of the
working class can boast of such fund.
1t is a truly proletarian campaign
fund. 1t consists of hard earned,
blood and sweat dimes that workers
have contributed. The Million Dime
Campaign Fund has taken hold of the
imagination of the rank and file of
the Socialist Movement as nothing
else heretofore. The aim set is Mil
lion Dimes, One Hundred Thousand
Dollars, and we are going to get it.
ers who are going to give one dime
at time to fight capitalism. And
this year we are going to fight CAPT
talism with a spirit that will throw
fear into the herats of the plutes.
Make il One Million
Fifty thousand dimes is good
start. We must make it a Million.
The chain letters, dime cards are still
in circulation. They can still be had
for the asking. But the big feature
now is the DIME BANK.
The National Executive Committee
of the Socialist Party at it's last meet
ing has gone over the plan in detail
and given it it's most serious consider
alton. The committee then authorized
the purchase of 5000 Dime Banks to
be used in raising a huge campaign
fund not only for the national office
but for the local and state organiza-
lions throughout the country.
The new plan in brief is to divide
the proceeds of the Million Dime Fund
between the local, state and national
organizations on the following basis:
On all contents- received IN banks
coming from given city, the local
in that city will be credited with rs
per cent, the state in which that city
is located will be credited with rs per
cent, and the balance of SO per cent.
will be retained by the National Of
flee of the Socialist Party, which will
finance the entire expense of the
banks, shipping, overhead expenses,
ct cetera.
This is an additional opportunity
for the members of the Socialist Par
ty to do some team work. By keep
ing bank busy you are at one stroke
helping your local, your state and the
national office.
What 100000 Dimes Will Do
One Million Dimes will work won
ders in Socialist agitation. It will
keep veritable army of speakers and
organizers in the field. 1t will work
huge presses overtime turning out
Socialist leaflets by the millions. Il
will bring the Socialist message TO
the doors of the workers of the coun-
try. 1t will make Socialism the issue
of the hour. 1t will awaken workers
to thought and action. 1t will roll up
an enormous vote for Socialism. 1t
will elect able comrades to local, state
and national legislative bodies. 1t
will bring the day of working class
emancipation nearer.
The 5000 banks are in circulation
now. The percentage to he credited
to the states and locals will be check
ed off on all banks reaching the Ma
tional Office after September list.
Every local secretary in Washington,
California, Texas, Nevada, Mime
sofa and Colorado has received a
bank. Local secretaries in other
states will receive their banks short
ly. Members of locals and readers
