ST. JOSEPH, Mich. April 20
Charles E. Ruthenberg's defense has

Afidavits attacking the character OF
Francis Morrow. government agent,
who affiliated with the communist
ma rty and attended the convention

fhe raidinE of which led to RHthen-
berg's prosecution on charge of
violation of the Michigan antisyndi-
calism law.
Ruthenberg, the second of those ar
rested in or after the raid to be tried,
is regarded as a probable witness in
his own behalf.
A single sentence written by Ruth
enberg in an article published in the
Official organ of the communist party
in October, 1921. was resurrected yes
terday by the state in an effort to
prove that Ruthenberg, charged with
sSvoca ting criminal syndicalism, act

force to overthrow the American
government.

The reading of Ruthenberg's article
in the Communist was the outstand
ling point in the states case. Attack
ling Morris Hillquit. New York at
Sprney and socialist leader for ad-
Secating a socialistic parliamentary
form of government, Ruthenberg
wrote:
The question, Soviet or Parlia-
ment" is not a question of distant
theoretical Importance. The advo-
cacy of the soviet form of organiza-
tion as the organ of workers struggle
for power and of the proletarian
state includes the acceptance Of ex-
ira parliamentary means of achieving
power. 1t means the acceptance of
Abe principle that the existing capital
Ist government will be overthrown
through the mass power of the work
ers And this includes the use of
armed force. 1t is for this reason
that the Hillquits. who cling to their
proposal to vote the capitalists out
of power, refuse to commit them
selves to the advocacy of the soviets.
1t is also for this reason that the
communist internationale makes ac-
ceptance and advocacy of the soviet
as one of the cardinal tests of accept
