hostile audience. By coincidence
CD the Red Cross advertised a
meeting for the election of officers
to be held in the Court room on the
same date as Katterfeld,s lecture,
the Socialist lecture was advertised
for 8 p. m. in said Court room. 1t
took patience to witness the tres
passing upon our time by spread
eagle oratory by those who had a
Red Cross headquarters and gall of
their own where their meeting by all
due courtesy should have been held
The main mouth pieces of capitalism
here did their best to- incite riot
but thanks to the common sense of
the audience their efforts fell flat
and there was nothing for them to
do but retire in ignominous defeat
yelling traitor" 1t is being cir
culated in Republic that the Kaiser
furnished the funds for this lecture.
Also that no more Socialist lectures
will be allowed This is to make
one smile when the Socialists hold
the balance of political power in
Ferry county. Katterfeld is the
ablest exponent of Socialism that has
appeared here.-Albert Strout, Sec'y
