In describing republican conspirators who have Democraticparty from adopting the^the name Socialist party. It is very^probable that the courts will sus^^tain the position of the Socialist^Labor party. To be in harmony^with its former decisions, it must^sustain the position and contention^of the Socialist Labor partv. This^legal act w ill force the Social-Demo^^cratic party to adopt some other^name. Itall shows the necessity of po^^litical unity of all the proletarians.^Socialism can never come as long^as there are two Socialist parties in^the field. Political solidarity with^Industrial Unionism is the only so^^lution of the proletarian question. APROSPECTIVE MAYOR Canoll,member of the citizen's^alliance, and a member of a labor^union, labor party fakir and boss^of the Workers Educational Hoo/e^Joint, is reported to be a candidate^for mayor. Thisfamous Helena Janus has^developed into a perennial candi^^date for office ever since his election^to the last legislature. Those ac^^quainted with the ^prospective^candidate^ say that he is nothing thetragic event the news item says:^In fact, all the circumstances in^^dicate that these men are experts attheir business. They took their^time in making preparations, shutt^^ing out all chances of failure. The^cracks around the safe door were^carefully sealed up with soap, with^the exception of one spot, and there^a funnel was made and a quantity of^nitro glycerine poured in. When^sufficient amount of this high ex^^plosive had been properly placed,^the crooks placed in front of the^safe door a green steer hide for the designsupon the city offices; that^Canoll is to receive the labor partv^nomination for the purpose of, de^^feating Dick l'urcell. Laborparty men say that Canoll^is a traitor, that he cannot rally any^of the labor party men around him. Whenhe ^butted in^ the labor^party, he depended largely upon the^campaign support of such fakirs as^Sanden. Mackey, J. K. Smith Oreg-^gins, Douglas and others. Itis now reported on good autho^^rity that these fellows are against him Mackeyand Sandra are said to doublepurpose of deadenfng the re-1 iie the leading founders of the portof the explosion and prevent^^ing the door from being thrown^completely out. Over the steer^hitle they wrapped the wet canvas^of a tent, and when all was in readi^^ness, touched off the explosive Idurational Club.^ but through^the manipulation of J. H. Calder-^head the constitution of the club^was changed so as to corrosponci to^the methods employed by ^The^Standord (^il gang.^ The result Thedoor of the safe was torn open ; was Mackev was fired from the sec andall the robbers then had to do^was to help themselves to the cash. I'.uttheir feelings can be easily^imagined when they found that the^sum total of the cash in the safe^amounted to the munificent sum of^$25. Amistake must have been made^somewhere, or else the robbers did^not expect any more than #25. In^fact most any one posted on the^banking business of this country^would not expect so much money to^be found in one bank which had just^been started in a new town. W hy,^$25 with the usual bankers amount^of nerve would do to start a na^tional bank. Yes,their feelings can be easily^ihiagined when they found so little,^by imagining yourself going to the^bank tomorrow morning and find^^ing a sign on the door which says^^Closed bv the Sheriff.^ Many-^have experienced that in this city^and thousands of other places. Hut,^why k'ck^ You fellows have voted^for this thieving system and if the^midnight bandit gets away with the^banker's swag, you can live to see^the banking system get away with^yours in broad davlight. ALBQAL PKJtfT OnOctober Jld the Court of Ap^peals, of New York, handed down a^decision to the effect that the use of^the word ^democratic^ as part of^the party name of the Social-Demo^^cratic party was unauthorized.^The opinion accompanying the de^^cision was written by Judge Haight. Thisdecision is the culmination^of a litigation over the name of the^Social-Democratic party which was^carried through all.the courts of the^state. The original decision, in^favor of the Social-Democratic party^was rendered by the secretary of^state, and was affirmed by Supreme^Court Justice Howard at special^term, and subsequently by the^unanimous order of the appellate^division in the third department.^The reversal by the Court of Appeals^is also unanimous. Accordingto the above riling the^name of the Social-Democratic^party would become the Socialist^party, but at this point the Social^^ist Labor partv steps into the courts^and attemps to prevent the Social* retarvshipand Sanden was fired^from the executive board. Canoll^says that both of them are ^dubs. Canollappointed I.emert secret-^tary and will probably appoint^l.anstrum on the executive board. Leinertw as the only ^wageearner^ I^in Lewis and Clark county that had^the gall to go out and call the laboi^partv men fakirs. Probably I.emert^was right, and for his faithful ser^^vices to capitalism and his insulting^language about the working class,^the parasite of the Whitlatch has^rewarded him with a position in the^^brace game^ institution in the^Electric block. Canollsays that the booze joint^is a paying business. The ^tinhorns^^and the suckers go there on foot,^and the boss goes there in an auto^^mobile. The question is, will he^get all their votes en masse, or will^he not^ Will he be able to get the^labor party machine in his band^^wagon Atthe present writing there is a^rebellion in the labor party ranks,^and from all accounts the ablest^generals in the labor party are^against the ^boss. This^party row^ is a good thing.^The honest class conscious work-^ingmen should profit by experience.^The only party where the automo^^bile fakirs can't rule, is the Social^^ist party. The rank and file of the^Soc ialist party is not educated to^drunkenness and gambling. They^are taught lessons in economics and^working class politics. Canollis engaged in a business^that converts the sweat of laboi in^^to profits. The way to perpetuate^such a condition is to organize a^club to demoralize the wage slave^so he can't get next to his slavery. Willthis educational ( ^) fakir be^the next mayor of Helena Itis reported that the miner's at^l.attimer, Pennsylvania, are being^coerced into signing the nomination^papers of James Martin for mine in^^spector. When the fact is taken^into consideration that Martin as^sheriff led the blood thirsty posse^that murdered nineteen miners at^l.attimer in the 1X97, we can ap^^preciate the strenuous oflorts the^coal corporations are making to^reward this modern Cain for his murderouswork of eight years ago. Witha corporation-paid assassin^as mine inspector, the mines can be^^come slaughter houses, and coron^er's juries will bring in the usual^verdict: ^No one to blame.^^^Miners Magazine. Whereis Diamond Memento John^Mitchell with his Roosevelt pull MinnesotaHeard From DearComrade: 1 take the lib^erty of mailing vou a copy of the^state constitution of the Socialist^party and make a request that you^read same carefully, especially tin-^sections printed in black faced type.^After you have done this, kindly^hunt up the Weekly Bulletin of last^week and read carefully the resolu^tions passed by Local St. Paul,^Minnesota, which recites the ex^iting trouble in this state quite^thoroughly. Then as a Socialist^and a member of the national com^mittee, I appeal to you to take such^steps that will cause the state exe^cutive committee whose officers^appear at the top of this letterhead^to be immediately recognized by^the national secretary of the Social^ist party. Thiswill also inform you that by^I referendum v ote of the state which^closed on October 7, Comrade^Thomas Van Lear was elected na^^tional committeeman to succeed^S. N. Holman, who was recently^expelled from membership in the^Socialist partv by Local Minneapo^^lis, and on behalf of the state exe-^cutive committee I protest against^further recognition of S. N. Hol^^man as national committeeman.^Your attention is also called to the^fact that the undersigned was^elected state secretary on Septem^^ber and immediately thereafter^the national secretary was informed.^In the face of this the national sec^^retary continues to recognize J. E.^Nash as state secretary, notwith^^standing the fact that he was also^expelled from membership in the^Socialist party by Local Minneap^^olis. The national secretary did^not inform the national committee^of receiving such communication^from the undersigned. Acheck has been forwarded the^national secretary for due stamps^and I appeal to you to take such^steps that will secure the recogni^tion of the new and legal state or^^ganization of the Socialist party of^Minnesota, instead of the two ex^^pelled members, former National^Committeeman Holman, and former^State Secretary J. E. Nash. Nowanother matter. We are^not ^inipossibilists.^ We have^been termed such and many other^names have been also applied but^a*s you probably know this was done^solely to cover up the tracks of^those who were willing that the na^^tional constitution should be vio^^lated. Kead Comrade Mailly's^letter in the special circular issued^I few weeks ago. There are no^^impossibilities^ affiliated with the^Socialist party in Minnesota. Afterreading the ev idence on the^case in the places mentioned above^if you find you are not clear on^some of the points please let me^know. I would be pleased to fur^^nish you with any information that^I may have. Trustingyou will give this rOM^consideration and soliciting your^support, I am, Yoursfor the revolution,^HARRIET HANSON, StateSecretary. ShouldBlame Men Forthe Worngs Thecowardly and traitorous pol^^icy of the laboring class endorsing^or voting the old party tickets w hich^are diametrically opposed to their^own interests deserves the contempt^and pity of all honest men. Some^may vote the old party tickets th rough^sheer ignorance, but the majority do^it through political prejudice and^because they have been trained to^do so. Thehostile sentiments engendered^by the civil war fought nearly a^half century ago, still lingers in the^minds of the people, and will per^^haps for centuries to come, or until^mankind becomes more liberal^minded. We ignore or seek to sup pressthe great problems of the pres^^ent and fight over issues that are of^trivial importance. Weenfradchise ten million Neg^^roes and enslave eighty million of^whites. We wipe out chattle slav^^ery and install wage slavery with all^its crimes and horrors. Ourpresent industrial system^breeds crime and misery on every^hand, and as time rolls on, the evils^ot the present system will become^intensified. ThomasLaw-son, who has so elo^^quently depicted the evils of Wall^street and some of the great cor^^porations of the country, ascribes^the great wrongs of the present time^to the system, where he should im^^pute the wrong to the men or indi^^viduals who are guilty. Men and^political parties, which are nothing^but agregations of certain men or^interests, are the ones to be blamed. J.H. M.
