PROGRESS OF SOCIALISM.
In Hungary Socialism is still under
legislative ban and is not allowed to
, contest parliamentary elections, but it
has succeeded in electing 136 munici
pal councillors.
In Denmark the social democratic
party was founded in 1878; since 1901
its membership in the Folkenthing
(house of commons) has increased
from 14, to 16, to 24, to 29, and at the
last general election (May, 1913) the
Socialists with 107,000 obtained the
largest popular vote of all the political
parties. They have 33 daily papers
H-ith a circulation of 170,000 copies.
In Switzerland the social democratic
party was founded in 1888; it has now
17 seats in. the national assembly (189
members), a gain of 10 since 1910.
In Norway in 1894 there were only
732 Socialist voters—in 1912 they had
become 124,594, or 26 per cent of the
whole with 28 deputies out of a house

A SURE LOSS.
"Too much ridicule is heaped on the
gentleman farmer," said the secretary
of agriculture at a banquet of gentle
men farmers in Washington.
After the thunderous applause died
down, Mr. Wilson continued:
"Too many of us take the view of
the, gentleman fanner that an old
friend of mine in Ohio takes.
" 'Gentlemen farmers!' he grunted,
one day in my hearing. 'Everybody
knows what a gentleman farmer is.'
" 'Well, what is he?' said I, impa
tiently.
" 'Oh,' said my old friend, 'he's a
man capable enough to run a farm as
it should be run, and rich enough to
stand the loss.' "

ORGANIZATION NKWS
PROCEEDINGS OF THE KIT
SAP COUNTY CON
VENTION.
Bangor, Wash . July 27, 1914.
Comrades;
Following Ib ii brief summary of tho
Kitßiip county convention, held tit
Bremerton Sunday, the 20th. The con
vention wm called to order by T, M.
i.ihiiy, of Bremerton, who explained
the culling of a mail mooting for nom
inating In lion of a delegate conven
tion was to allow (lie "slaves of the
government" (worklngmen In the navy
yard, etc.) the privilege of participa
| ting, they not being allowed by civil
Bervlce rules to take part In a con
vention for fear of discharge.
W. J. Neal, or Local Bllverdale, was
chosen chairman; 10. 10. Martin, of
Bangor, secretary, and W. 10. Wester*
man assistant secretary.
The city hall of Bremerton was
tendered by Comrade Kady, mayor,* as
"Union Hall" appeared too small.
Delegations from the following locals
wen present: Ilangor, llreldabllk,
Bremerton, Brownsville, Charleston,
Manette, Alalla, Pearson, Port or
chard, l'ouisiio (seceders) and Sllver
dale. lOxtrcmes In attendance were a
single representative from Local Pear
son (Finnish), to twelve from the re
cently united regular and speeders of
Local Bremerton. Not represented:
Locals Hurley and Crosby.
Some, there were, who wished to at
jonce proceed to nominations, without
even the appointment of a platform
to stand upon, but wiser counsels pre
vailed and it was carried that steps be
taken to organize our county autono
mously, and that a temporary commit
tee be elected until permanent organ
ization could be effected, composed of
one member from each local, as fol
lows: Bangor, E. B. Martin; Brolda
blik, Geo. Shold; Bremerton, W. D.
Mallory; Brownsville, A. Chfldress;
Charleston, Martha Chenoweth; Man
ette, Chris Jensen; Olalla, W. E. West
herman; Pearson, Frank F. Johnson;
Port Orchard, A. P. Stlres; Poulsbo
(seceders), C. A. Johnson; Silverdale,
Mark It. Plessinger.
A tie vote to take a recess till after
j lunch was "sat upon" by the chair
man's veto, and on motion a commit
tee on platform of seven: Brundage,
Giles, Kost, Kady, Libby, Shold and
1 Martin chosen.
Corns. Emma T. Gates, H. O. Mes
ford and Arthur Childress were elect
ed a committee on resolutions.
Recess taken until 1:30 p. m.
Reconvening at 2 p. m., report of
! resolutions committee was taken up.
, Resolutions condemning the sentence
of. life imprisonment of Ford and Suhr
of Wheatland, Cal., hoppickers, fame
I and "frameup," and demanding their
| immediate release of Gov. Johnson,
j were adopted unanimously.
Resolution for amendment restrict
, ing power of courts in issuing injunc
tions, and that no one be adjudged in
contempt except by jury trial; also
| demanding the abolition of all useless
laws on state statute books be abol
ished, were adopted.
1 Resolution urging endorsement of
', Washington State Congressman J. W.
1 Bryan's bill to seize Colorado coal
• mines was, after some discussion, re
', referred to committee, as was another
; favoring "government" in lieu of col
■ lective control of railroads. Both evi
dently "died a bornln."
The discussion on platform was ex
tended and earnest. The platform
adopted by King county was rehablll
i tated and direct recognition of the
class struggle and "collective," In lieu
• of "public ownership," etc., substitut-
I cd. Lacking sufficient "working class"
sentiment and verbiage for "the red
county of Washington," this final
■ plank was attached:
"The Socialist party, when in Office, ;
I shall always and everywhere, until the
present system of wage shivery is ut
terly abolished, make the answer to'
this question is guiding rule of con
duct: 'Will this legislation advance
the interests of the working class and
aid the workers in their class struggle
against capitalism? If It does, the So
cialist party is for it. If it does not,
the Socialist party is absolutely op
posed to it.' "

lory of Bremerton local, that Comrade
C. A. Johnson of hocal I'oulsbo (se
ceders) he allowed to then and there
buy stamps of L,ocal Bremerton to fill
the lapse in his standing between his
dropping out. of the regular party and
their organization as a (seceders')
local, which upon full discussion was
strongly voted down as irregular and
unconstitutional.
Ample arrangements for filing fees
for the complete county ticket were
made, the lowest amount promised
from small locals being $S.OO and rang
ing to $40 by Ixjcal Bremerton, whose
members generally declined nomina
tions, leaving the bulk thereof to half
a dozen of the oldest locals. Please,
newly organized locals, don't get "cold
feet" again and let your locals lapse
till (lie world 1! won for the working
class.
Final arrangements for filing ticket
were made at the subsequent meeting
of the temporary county committee,
which met immediately after' the con
vention adjourned.
Comrade w. D. Mallory of Bremer-
Iton was chosen chairman and Comrade
JMrs. Martha Chenoweth (box 378),
Charleston, as temporary officials.
The commit lee to meet at Bremerton
(Union hall, presumably) on Sunday,
August 2, to have everything in ap
ple-plo order for filing prior to August
8 next.
Send your pro rata for filing fees
and campaign fund to Secretary Che
noweth (address above).
Thus closed one of the best attend
ed conventions of Kitsap county. If
each does his best, we have a splendid
opportunity to give the plnt.es the
scare of their lives, and the chance to
land more than one comrade in office.

GROWTH OF SOCIALISM IN
GERMANY.
Germany is the classic land of So
cialism and the German Karl Marx,
though dead more than a quarter of
a century, is still its most respected
prophet. Germania docet in Socialism
as in other things, for though the Ger
man Socialists differ in many points
among themselves they always pre
sent a united front to the rest of the
world. Their progress may be seen
from the following results of the elec
tions to the reichstag:

Another seat was won in 1913, mak
ing the total number of Socialist depu
ties 111. The reichstag consists of
397; the Socialists are already the
strongest party in it, and if they were
represented in proportion to their pop
ular vote they would have 138 mem
bers. The party possesses ninety
threo newspapers and journals with a
circulation of 1,800,000 (more than the
combined circulation of all the Catho
lic papers in the whole world —a fact
worth noting); they have 364 "educa
tion committees," numerous libraries
for men, women and children, a highly
elaborate system for the diffusion of
Socialist principles among all classes,
and over 12,000 Socialist members of
town and village councils, with a spe
cial organ Kommunale Praxis to edu
cate Socialists on municipal and other
forms of local government.
