MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Dec. Z. - The
socialist party of Wisconsin lis getting
ready for the final act of betrayal of
giving UP it's socialist name and def.
nitely aligning with the middle class
movement.
William Coleman, state secretary of
the socialist party, participated in the
meeting Of the state conference OF
the conference for progressive politi-
cal action in Madison, Wisconsin, on.
Nov. 80, at which it was decided to go
ahead with the formation of new
political party"
1t is interesting to observe that the
socialist party does not even play
with the words farmer-labor. In Civ
ing up its radical name, it will change
| it for real innocent name that would
not be offensive to the middle class
politicians. 1t is apparent that the
S. P. will go long way toward form
ing an alliance with the republican
party politicians ANY kind of party
will do seems to be their slogan.
S. P. is c. P. p. A. in Wisconsin.
The conference for progressive
political action in the state of Wiscon-
sin is composed chiefly of the socialist
party politicians and the followers OF
former Lieutenant Governor Com
mings, an unsuccessful candidate for
governor on the republican party
ticket, who was defeated by Governor
Blaine.
The true virtue of Commings con-
sists of, the socialists say, of being
true christian and in being very
honest The issues of honesty the S.
P. of Wisconsin substituted for the
class struggle. A truly unique per
version of Marxism.
Both Of these groups claim to. be
the only true followers of LaFollette
but it seems that LaFollette does not
care for people who seem to take him
too seriously. At the crucial moment
in the election campaign LaFollette
endorsed Blaine in opposition to other
candidates and Blaine received most
of LaFollette's votes, while the oppo-
sition group including the socialists
could rally only $4,000 votes of the to-
tai $50, 900 votes cast for LaFollette.
And still this group persists in lick
ing LaFollette's boots and fights for
the favors of wearing the masters
name, while at the same time dis
playing intolerance and had hate
towards the Communist movement
The group humbly submitting to the
dictatorship of LaFollette is madly
raving about the proletarian dictator
ship in Russia.
1t is apparent that if the new party
is formed it will be nothing but an
other political abortion including the
renegade socialist party and small
group Of sympathizers. This grour
will claim for itself the heritage tc
LaFollettes movement and will event
ually be outwitted and destroyed by
the LaFollette republican machine
headed by Blaine, even as this group
was outwitted in the last elections.
Communist Movement Growing.
The final betrayal of the socialist
party politicians will help to clarity
the issue. The elimination of the
socialist party from the political arena
offer wonderful opportunities for the
Communist movement The member
ship Of the Workers Party in Wiscon
sin will maintain contact with work
ers who still follow the lead of the
socialist party and who will eventually
follow and join our movement as
soon as they will learn to understand
the impotence and treacherous charac
ter of the socialist party
To win the masses away from the
corrupt leadership of the socialis
party and under the banner OF Tho
Communist movement is one OF the
principal tasks of our party in Wis
cousin.
The socialist party is dead-Loni
live the party Of revolutionar,
socialism--The Workers (Commun
ist) Party OF America.
