Comparison Describing
World Situation
NAME OF SPEAKER
WAS NOT ANNOUNCED

Predicting that Bolshevsm VIII soon

capitalists who now own the mills will
have them taken from them. after
which they will be given the option OF
working or starving, was only ono OF
the many startling anarohlstic state
ments made by a speaker at a meeting

on address, but failed 70 appear. when
Il looked as though there would be no
meeting a man, apparently a stranger,
asked permission 10 speak. which was
grontod. While his entire talk was un-
patriotic no effort was made, as FAR
as Is known 10 stop him, although Il
Is reported the police arc now making
a search for the Bolsheylst.
The speaker likened the present sltu-
atom in tho world 10 a great game OF
poker being played by Lenlne, OF Rus
sia and President Wilson In which Len
Inc held four ares and the President
fun hand. and we all know full
hand cannot beat four aces" no ex-
Ilalllltu.
Il know ! am preaching dangerous
doctrine" the speaker continued, "and
I am likely 10 be taken up at any
time. But | stand ready 10 so. and
there will be others TO take my place
The fight must so on and you must
carry Il along" lie also stated that
should any members of the local So
clallst party get into trouble while
working for the cause. there Will be
plenty Of money sent TO Wilmington for
their defense lie did not say where II
would come from.
Announcement was made that a mass
meeting would be held in the rooms
next Sunday 10 protest against the inn
prisonment OF Eugene V. Debs, who, the
anonymous speaker declared. had been
arrested and put In jail for preaching
the same doctrine which he expounded
10 those present last night.
