E|;'SPER'S IDEA
Declares This is Only Means
Of Getting Government
Of the People.

Chicago, July 1--WE must in the
future send farmers, railroad men.
miners, machinists. molders, etc, to
congress said Frank j. Esper, ma
tional secretary Of the labor party of
the United States, in his report to the
labor party convention opening here
yesterday morning. Then and then
only will we have a government Of the
people, for the people and by the peo-
pie"
Secretary Esper characterized the
national labor party as a political or
s~anization to assemble those who work
with hand and brain and who have
been scattered as helpless minorities
In the old parties under the leadership
OF the confidence men Of big bust
ness"
Secretary Esper said it was "neces-
eary for the workers to continue the
building of this great political organ

power from Wall street pirates and
return to the political and industrial
government to it's rightful owners

prices for goods made by the city
workers." he said. why should the
city workers pay $36 for bread-the
farmers receiving only 50 for the -four
it contains?
I'VE realize the immensely of this
struggle, therefore we ask the sup
port of the farmers of the nation. We
know their fight is our fight. and our
fight is their fight. With this common
understanding, we can unite at the
ballot box and sweep from office those
who have usurped the political power
of the producers and consumers of our
country"
Public ownership and public man
agement of the railroads and the
banking business were advocated by
Secretary Esper as fundamental needs
OF h social structure.
When we get that" he said. "then
we can go ahead and do the things
that should be done in the way o.
radically revolutionI ing beth Iic -sys.
tenn of transportation charges and the
system of banking loans and costs. Fol
these reasons the labor party has con
sistently fought for the public owner

Michigan, Oklahoma, Kansas. Missou-

mentioned the bay district Of Califor-

had opportunity of placing candidates
in the field. He said that organization
had been perfected in a number Of
congressional districts for the fall
election. He reported that various

other state offices had been made to
