BENSON'S FIRST LECTURE IN THE
CAMPAIGN DIR Big AUDIENCE
Socialists Presidential Candidate Delivers Rous-
ing Lecture to Enthusiastic Audience
in Elizabeth, New Jersey

The committee in charge of the
Benson meeting looked doubtful on
Sunday last, when the tremendous
heat forbade assemblage in a close
atmosphere of theatre. They had
visions of an empty house, especially
when it was learned that the other
house gave moving pictures of re-
ligious nature, without charging any
admission fee, while the Socialists
are always compelled to charge for
their meetings.
But soon were their fears allayed,
for a big crowd filled the Hippodrome
to greet Presidential Candidate Ben
son, who came with Comrade Goebel.
Comrade Furber, former Mayor of
Railway, was the first of the speak
ers to appear. Committees were busy
arranging for the book sale, feature
of Socialist lectures.
Everybody was smiling and the
Elizabeth Socialists were proud, their
city being the first on the list of Ben
sons transcontinental speaking tour.
BensOn's Book, Inviting War to
America" Good Seller
Within five minutes after the COM
rade who had charge of the book
sales had announced the contents of
the epoch making book, the commit
tee was besieged with demands for
the book, and, after selling out every
copy, many orders were taken for
more.
The meeting was opened with a
pleasing musical program presented
by Professor Max Flohrschuetz, must
cal director of Upsala College, and
several of his pupils. There had been
a large sale of tickets previous, while
many more eagerly paid omissions at
the door. A substantial sum was also
realized from the sale of campaign
buttons, pinned upon lapels by busy
corps of pretty feminine Socialists in
the lobby of the theatre. After call
ing the meeting to order, Comrade
Furber announced future meetings
to be held, at which George R. Kirk
patrick, Socialist candidate for vice.
president, will speak.
Comrade Furber Greeted Enthusiast
ically
Comrade Furber, one of the new
members of the party, formerly ma
yor of Railway under the Republican
banner, made strong appeal for an
indictment of the profit system, and
utilized pamphlet issued by the re-
cruiting department of the United
States navy showing the advantages
set forth aboard the fighting ships
as against chances in the industrial
fields upon which to base his argu-
ments. The speaker closed with a
bitter arraignment of members of the
judiciary who go away upon vaca-
tions, leaving jails crowded with pris-
oners awaiting trial and unable to
obtain bail. Furber also bitterly at
tackled hypocrisy, which, he said, was
rife in many church pews and pull
pits.
Deploring the resolution against
the Socialists passed by the Catholic
Federation of Churches at their re-
cent convention nj New York, he
claimed that the Catholic Church, of
all churches, because of the large per-
centage of workingmen within it's
folds, ought to clasp hands with the
Socialist Party in it's battle against
The Northwest worker. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1915-1917, 1916-09-14
the greed of capital.

the greed Of capital.
For years he said he had waited for
one of the older parties to end the
abuses which the workingmen suffer-
ed, but he decided at last that only
vote for Socialstic form of gov
eminent would eradicate the internal
cancer, the deprivation of labor of it's
proper earnings by the capitalists.
Comrade George H. Goebel, of Es-
sex county, being well known to Eliz-
abeth Socialist audiences, was only
formally introduced by Comrade Fur
Der, who received rousing applause
at the conclusion of his interesting
talk.
National Committeeman Goebel
won constant plaudits as he empha-
sized the fact that the meeting did
not mark the opening of the Socialist
campaign, explaining that the cam
paign was always on.
After arousing enthusiasm to a
high pitch, the speaker closed with an
appeal for all local Socialists to
drop the hammer and get out the
crowbar for boosting work"
He praised the local Socialist press,
The Issue, calling the attention of the
audience to the necessity of such a
paper and urging all to support that
paper to the utmost.
Furber Introduces Benson
Allan Benson was introduced as a
"true representative of that portion
of the press which is independent" by
Chairman Furber, who also recounted
the candidates struggle for an edu-
cation, his newspaper work as edi-
torial writer on the Detroit Times,
and through it all his unwavering
loyalty to Socialistic and progressive
policies.
The Elizabeth Evening Times, in a
splendid report about the meeting,
had this to say:
GAS Mr.. Benson stepped to the
front of the stage he was compelled
to remain mute for a lengthy period
while the theatre resounded with APP
plause. Armed with a powerful ply
sique and magnetic personality, the
speaker did not at any time resort to
Billy Sunday methods of oratory, but
delivered his address in straight
from the shoulder staccato sentences,
with frequent pauses to drive each
statement home. The candidate first
offered caustic criticism of the army
reorganization bill and arraigned the
Congressional committee which
amended it for the substitution of
drafted for the word called in ref
erence to embracing the 'unorganized
militia in the ranks of the regulars.
"Mr. Benson then told what the
Socialist Party stands for in the COM
ing campaign, and called for efficien-
cy as an issue instead of platforms
advocated by other parties, winding
up his stirring plea in manner which
aroused the audience to high ten
sion of enthusiasm"
"The meeting was success in
every respect" said one of the COM
mittee, "and shows the interest taken
in Socialism"
Over 200 books were sold, a num-
Der of subscriptions for The Issue
were secured and many signatures
were affixed to the various nominal
ton papers.-The Issue, Elizabeth,

DEBS CAME BACK
BY Maynard Shipley, Associate Cam
paign Manager.

After being ignored by the local
labor journal in Terre Ilaute during
period of about n years, Labor Day
finds Debs "played up" to the extent
of two full pages, one containing his
photograph and an article by Gene,
and the other Labor Day Salvation
by him. If man lives long enough
and he's the right Bind of man, he
may become a prophet even in his own
country.
The fact of the matter is that the
unionists of Terre Haute love and
trust Debs just as everybody else in
his home town does, and be he demo-
crat or republican ID national affairs,
every union man down deep in his
heart would like to see Debs go to
congress. SO when the Terre Haute
Union gives two pages of its Labor
Day edition to the old warrior, it
means that "Debs came back" and
has come back to stay first in the
hearts and minds of his own towns
men.
How It's Coming
Up to and including September 3,
there has been contributed to the
Debs campaign fund total of ST.
764.99.
There was expended during the
same time $1,568.81, leaving a cash
balance on hand of $l96.18.
From August Ia to 81 the receipts
were SIGHTS.
From August "a to 81, $201.84.
This gives daily average of $2O.31.
Is this all that tits worth to the
Socialists of this country to send
Eugene V. Debs to congress-a COM
rade whom they have selected four
times as their choice for president of
the United States?

vOlved. We shall not indulge in per
scnalities and insinuations as the
mayor has done. there being no ar
gument in such indulgence and no
information to the public. The
mayor seeks to becloud the issue by
saying that we are in combination
in hostility to certain members OF
the city council and to Col. Springs
as president of the Lancaster Cot
ton Mills" Our sole aim in this
controversy is to subserve the inter
ests Of the city of Lancaster re
gardless of all other considerations.
Further, possibly, to divert pub
lie attention from the issues in
question. Mayor Jones brings in the
recent newspaper fight by stating
that Luther Ellison and his asso-
ciates. directors of the Lancaster
Publishing Company. have "usurped
control of The Lancaster News
The Supreme Court OF South Caro-
lima. in recent unanimous opinion
decided against Mayor Jones and his
associates that Luther Ellison and
his associates. instead of being
usurpers are rightful and legal ma.
jority directors of that company. II
will be recalled that this suit was
brought by Mayor Jones and his as
sociates against Luther Ellison and
his associates.
! AS to the mayors lengthy eulogy
OF Mr.. Leroy Springs, his friend and
business associate, it is most gen
erous, profuse and doubtless inter
esting to many Of his admirers, YET
wholly foreign to the matter under
discussion.
We feel that the public has
through our efforts, been put into
: possession of facts of which they
were before in ignorance. This We
conceive to be the duty of a publ,
journal. We repeat what we saio
in the closing sentence of the edi.
