Declaration of Delegates.
DLNTp nCp Ion Tho

PETROGRAD, Jan. 21.-The decla-
ration of the Bolsheviki delegates to
the constituent assembly adopted by
them prior to their bolt from this
body was published in full today. In
part it asserted:
THE debates have shown that the
social revolutionaries Of the right, as
in Kerensky's time, are nourishing
the people on promises and phrases,
but in reality are opposing socialist
measures such as appropriation Of
lands, the naturalization of banks
and the control and annulment Of
state debts. Not wishing to condone
these crimes of the enemies Of the
neople we declare we are quitting
the assembly"
,he Bolsheviki decree dissolving
the constituent assembly read in
part:
The constituent assembly was
chosen from the old election lists
and it now appears as an expression
of the old bourgeoisie regime, expect
ing to become chief authority in a
bourgeoisie republic opposing the Oc-
tober revolution and the soviet's
authority.
"The old bourgeoisie parliament
tarism has seen its day. 1t is I'M
able to cope with the tasks facing
socialism. Only Institutions such as
the soviets are able to overcome the
opposition Of the rich classes and to
create a new socialist state. The
refusal to recognize the soyiets'
authority and the restoring to the
bourgeoise Of the liberty they have
won would be a step backward to-
ward bankruptcy of the workmens
and peasants revolution. Tho r;eh4

MASONS MEET
At GENOA
Members Invited to Campbell Home
Where Great Feast Is Served
As in Times of Long Ago

For many years II was the custom
of the members of the Genoa Masonic
lodge to give banquet at the event
OF raising new member to the
sub ime degree of Master Mason.
These banquets were always held at
the Raycraft hotel. Carson members
OF the fraternity were always invited
and attended in large numbers, be-
cause they knew that the banquet
would be not on y all that name I'm
plies. but Raycraft feast Last Sat-
urday night history repeated itself
IN Genoa. and although the old hotel
is no onger the gay place 1t was de-
cade ago. the feast of old was even
sarpassed-if such thing could be
possible. and while not given at the
hotel, since the place is closed, the
Raycraft master hand was there.
Joe Campbell was raised by the
Genoa lodge to the degree of a Master
Mason. and the work was put on by
members of Carson lodge, and attend
ed by twenty or members from Car
son and several from Gardnervi !e.
After the work J. l.. Campbell an
nounced that cup of coffee would be
served at his home al d invited all 10
attend. No one refused and all were
surprised. The beautiful Campbell
hore was thrown wide open to the
Nelson's and in the midst of their
story te ling, were invited to thu
dining room where cosers were laid
for forty or more. At each plate was
a buttoneer of violets and by the
time the boquets were adjusted, a
glance up and down the table gave
evidence that Hoover was not home
also that Mr.. Campbell fibbed whom
he spoke about cup of coffee In
the center of the table was roasr
pig. guarded by roast turkey, chicken,
and we know not what else. For
two hours those hungry Masons ate,
but they could not diminish the s,lp-
py before them. because Mrs. Camp
bell was supervising the kitchen and
dining room as well
Speechmaking followed and the
host and hostess were showered with
compliments. Many of the older
Masons recalled the banquets at ,he
hotel conducted for SO many years
by Mrs campbe is mother, the iaie
Mrs. Ellen Raycraft. Finally, after
each one present had been giyea IN
opportunity to speak or speak no.
