STATE COMMITTEE MEETING. The state committee of Montana

met nn S. pteinlier .'s in Helena and remained In session three days. A more ixtend. il n port of the proe. t i l ings wi l l be printed m xt week, as It is late to K.t the matter in type. The committee worked hard and did good, vital work.

A cublnM was elected, composed of la J. Duncan, Caulti.-M of Missoula and Krusc of Hoz. man McDowell of Hillings was elected state secretary and A . \ \ \ i lartack manager of the News.

Definite arrangi nu nts were made to finance the News, pay ofT the old debts, and meet the expenses, and the prospects an that an era of useful and active work is now ahead of the Montana Socialist party that w i l l Lad to splendid results for the party of the working class.

SOP TO I.ABOIt. American labor still enjoys the su

perlative opportunity of making a fool of its. If every time It gets a chance to have any say In regard to the machim r> o f goveminent The man who understands the motive force of history, economics and politics, which is the exploitation of labor, looks wi i l i pitying contempt upon tin-deluded working slave who, on the one day o f tie j . j . r w h. 11 be can push his power to become hi:- own mast. 1 and labor in freedom and possession of the product of his toll , stil l bows Ills head humbly to the y o k e . .1 his master's Institutions, and gives his consent to the damnable chains which enthrall h im. through his ballot

REPLY TO GO.MPEHS ATTACK ON E l ' G E X E V. DEBS.

(By A. M. Simons) Certain definite charges were made

by Samuel (Jumpers against Eugene V. Debs, presidential candidate of the socialist party These charges were published In the American Federa-tionist for Sept'-mbor. No proof ac-companii d them. None M M w i l l l>e pr. s. nt. d. for the charges arc absolutely false. The only thing which the\ p r o w is the character of Gom-pers.

Two principal allegations ar. made in this attack upon Debs.

Mr. Gompt-rs says: "He (Delta) organized t h . American Railway [Talon and became Its president in r ivalry to the organization whose official he still was. He worked and plotted for the destruction of the organization of which he was a responsible official ."

The t ru th Is that when E. V. Del>s deciibd to form the A. It. I " , he went befor- the convention of the B. of L. F. and after explaining his plans to them tendered his resignation as sec-retary-treasuri r and editor of the official organ, which positions he had h - M for thirteen years. During this time there had never liecn a candidate or a vote cast against him. The convention unanimously refused to accept his resignation, although its members thoroughly understood that he was about to undertake th. ..r-..m-ization of the A. R. I " . < >n the contrary, they unanimously rs tlsetl 1 him Hut he felt that h e should not hold the otflce and again tendered his resignation, insisting upon Its acceptance. When the convention saw that he was determined to resign, it voted unanimously to give him $2,000 with which to take a vacation. A check for that amount was sanded to him. but h e refused to accept it and the check remains uncashed to this day.

Furthermore, wi th in the last year a special otflcial invitation to renew his membership has been extended by th B. of K I*, Finally he now has in his possession an official invitation f rom the governing body of that organization asking him to become the Official mu st of th . B. of F. L. at Its n. xt grand lodge meeting. The men who have extended this invitation do not agree with him politically, and would not do these things did l i n y consider him a traitor to their organization.

Mr. (iomp. rs says of the A. I I D strike of 1S!M: "When a large number of men In the American Railway I 'nbm responded to Mr. Debs' call to strike, and many became blacklisted and victimized, he advocated and f inally secured the abandonment of th American Railway I 'nlon. and thus l. f t his no n hitch and drv without the sIlKhtest organized protection."

Had this statement be. n made by an otflcial of the Citizens' Al l l anc It might i e possible to pb-ad Ignorant as an • xcuse. It is but a variation of the f re^tnnt charge of the enemies of organized labor that strikes nr. called by union officials Hut Mr. QMAIMfg cannot plead ignorant . . | | , was In an official position during that strike and played a part which h. w i l l not care to have recalled. Therefore he will not dare to deny that when he peiin. .1 that statement he knew that Debs opposed that strike to the vi ry last, and that It was finally ilecltl.-d upon by a unanimous vote of the governing body of the organization. Far f rom deserting the men Debs stayed and fought wi th t in m even while a president elected by the political party for which Mr. (Jumpers Is now asking the support of organized labor sent federal troops to shoot down the strikers. Mr. dumpers was at the head of a great labor organization at that time. l > t him explain what assistance he gavi In this hour tt ib sp. rat. m i d, when Eugene V. Debs stood flKhting for the men who had trusted him unti l he was imprisoned and his organization disrupt.,! and destroyed. Today thousands of those old A. I t . l T . men are l ighting ami working for the success of the socialist party. Their action speaks louder than words as to whether Debs betrayed thetn In their hour of in . tl

Mr. (lumpers makes another chance He says:

"When Mr. Delis was secretary of lie r.rotherhood of Locomotive .•"ire-men and editor of Its official tnaga-zlne, thut organization held one of its conventions In Cincinnati. He had given the order for the convention printing to a concern which hud a contest on with the Cincinnati Typo-graphical union. A committee of Cincinnati union printers called upon

Mr. Debs to ask him to use the Influence of his position to urge the pr int ing company to come to an amicable agreement with the union, or, fa l l ing In that, to give the convention print ing to a union house. Did Mr. Debs comply wi th that request? Not a bit of it . He Insulted the committee and told tty m he wanted nothing to do with them or their union."

This statement is a plain malicious lie. N o such Incident ever took place. N o such committee ever came to Debs. N o pr int ing was given out by him to any non-union house. Let Mr. Qom-piTs either produce some member of that committee or stand convicted o f c . vvardlv malicious lying.

Here are some facts concerning tie actli ns of E. V. I>cbs in relation to the Typogra.U.ical union while he was editing tl.e Journal of the B. of L. F In ordt r to secure the label he re-or-ganiced the Typographical union of When he took editorial charge that .'ournal did not bear the union label Torre Haute that had fallen into decoy, and by so doing placed upon tha .ournal the first union lartel « v « placed upon any organ of any o f the railwav broth 1 rhoods. From the tlno he toi k ejMUTge of the publications of the B. of L. F., not a single piece of pr int ing of that organization was ever put out that did not bear the union la I K I

Not only did he reorganise the Typographical union of Torre Haute, but he has either organized originally, or re. rganlzcd i very union n o w existing- in Ti-rre Haute, and for years he was invariably placed In charge ol . v i r v strike called In that ci ty no mat t . r what unions might be I n -v olv ed.

It would be easy to extend In-d. finitely the story o f the services r. ndi-r. d by E. V. Debs to the cause of 0rs.1ni7.e1l labor. Hundreds of testimonials might b e presented which havi ie . n tendered him by various organizations testifying to the success of his efforts in organizing the very unions which ar. now paving >Ir. (Jumpers' salary H e has been given medals, special endorsements and ! votes of approval almost without numb.r bv local and national bodies besides for his services In these directions.

It is not for E. V. Debs to jus t i fy his c a r . e r as a unionist. I t Is for Mr. (Jumpers to prove his charges or stand lonvictod as a w i l f u l falsified and trail n o r of one whose whole l i fe has been devoted to th. cause of labor.

BIG SEATTLE R A L L Y

The two most remarkable political meetings ever held in one night in the nt;.te ot Washington were held by th.- Socialist party candidate at Heat-tie In Dreamland r ink, und at Everett. Wash., in th . largest auditorium there on the night of September I I , 1S08. At S.attb ::,ooO were admitted to the building and L',000 were outside eager to g. t in; reserved seats sold like sweet appba to Indians at f.O cents mil t l each. whi l . gen.-ral admission was .'Scents.

1 ' 11 r 1 rless presidential candidate arrived promptly nn time and was -•1 . . ten with cheers f rom .1.000 intel l i gent h.-atls and true hearts, while the Mex4 Special band played the Mar-s.llaise, and tw.nty-f lve li t t le boys

ml girls standing upon the platform with red Hags waving ami singing Mars, liaise brought the feeling of realization of the industrial emancipation of the working class, through t h e revolt of the wage slaves, and th .-re standing amidst the tiny ones was Comrade Eugene V. Debs, the ml.oilim. nt ol a working class revolt

ing statesman, a man of the p. opl. . mil as th.- children march, d away, the gr. at audience saw Mr. Dibs tenderly kiss the cheek of a tiny maid of live v.-a.s. then proceeded with words of wisdom to elevate the working people to the consciousness of their class Interests, political and economic. I l l s words fell on the ears of his audience to be r. inemb. r. il and re fbe td l upon, his logic was unanswerable and the dictates ot his great conscience forced him to arraign present social and political evils in a manner to IM- comprehended by all . His candor was a stimulus, while his zeal gave evidence of his great lalth anil love for the working class

The Seattle USStlug closed at lOiilO p. m. and the Red Special was soon on Its way to Everett, where at 1:16 u. m. I his t n . less worker was audri ss-Ing an audience of 1,700 working men and women. Here too, the audience il.p.ared as a g n a t assembly ol conscious students fu l l y realizing what the socialist movement meant to tin in. ami b. nt on their political and Industrial liberation. Grand and magnificent as t i n y were, profound was the general verdict of the close of each mei ting, w hile all comrades look, il with satisfaction and pride upon tin- magnificent health and strength of the movement that Is challenging th . attention of the wisest and purest men and women of the world.

Thus closed the two greatest pol i t i cal meetings ever held In one night In the state of Washington.

T h e report of the commute o n platform and resolutions uppmiit -I at tin convention was as foil iu <

"Polit ical parties are but the ex-pr. ssion of economic class interests. A l l political parties other than the socialist party are financed, directed and controlled by t h " representatives o l the different groups of the ru l ing class. In Shoshone county tha powers ..| Ihi Federal Mining (\i Sim King .\ Refining company ar. controlling t h . republican party and the would-b. imli pi nib nt small mine ow ners are controlling the democratic party so as t o force concessions through the Judicial^ and It glslation by a political \ ictory.

"The wage workers an both parties as a catspaw the political as well as class interests

The Socialist party now calls upon th. wag.- w o r k i r s to unit, politicallv lor the betterment of the Workers conditions as their own economic class interests demand.

"Hv forcing the wage workers to submit to discriminating examinations before allowing them to toil for their m.ans of existence, thereby removing the free chance of competition, the brand of industrial servitude appears, l^-t the workers redeem themselves by voting for the control of the sources that give them the means of life.

"The Socialist party of Shoshone county demands the abolition of the contract system, the direct einplov-m i nt by the company of all labor us. d. the establishment of a labor bureau for the purpose of Investigating, inspecting and reporting upon Has conditions of labor, free legal adv ice, t h e assessing of all privately oe ned industry upon its actual selling value In the open market, the abolition of t h e deputy and blacklisting systems that are used to force the wage workers under the control of the corporations, the publication and sending of a f u l l Itemized account of al l the revenues and expenditures of the county to every voter, the initiative, referendum and Imperative mandate to be put into operation In all county affairs.

" I f the people of Shoshone county are not wi l l ing to vote for direct government, then they must submit to the graf t ing, deputy and spy systems of capitalistic representative government."

Delegate Walked to W .1II .0 . The convention was called to order

in < >dd Fellows' hall at il o'clock by Wil l iam E. Stache. and without d i gression broke right Into business. The convention was well attended by delegates f rom almost every precinct In the county, many of whom had been forced to walk to Wallace f r o m the outlying districts in order to be present. At the opening the attendance was rather poor, but the delegates continued to arrive in twos and threes all through the proceedings, unt i l the meeting had gradually swollen to very considerable size

The proi dings were unlet orderly and business like f rom start to finish. Nothing in the nature of a squabble arose at any time and al l delegates seemed to bow without i|uestion to the ru l ing of the chair. Many minor discussions arose in which almost the whole convention participated and all of these wen- characterized by the best of good humor and goodfellow-shlp.

D. H. Plfcr and Joe Hutchinson were selected temporary chairman

. 1 mI t. mporary secretary rcspoctlv.h The fol lowing committee on creden

tials was nominated by the convention at large: (ieorge 1, Cloud, W i l l iam E. Sacho and Charles HuttBer.

On the appointment of these a recess of 15 minutes was taken in order that their report might lie submitted to the convention. This report was as follows, but It is to lie noted that this does not include a large number of delegates who arrived at a later period and after the report had been submitted

Herrtagton, who for t h e reason that In- was on tin- state ticket for supi r int inb nt of public instruc-iton. was ineligible to act on the county ticket. The second choice of the people in connection wi th tin-state si natnrshlp fel l on Wil l iam K. Stache and this was confirmed by tin-con\ entlon.

Thin* names were placed la i I> nation tor county superlnti mb nt o l public instruction, and the resulting contest was the occasion of much humor, conscious and otherwise, on tin part o f the i | . legates. The names of Joe Hutchinson, John Simula and l'*r. il J. Helm were placed in nomination by the convention. Joe Hutchinson did not want the office In view of the fact that he was about to leave the county. Fred J. Helm tried to decline the nomination, but John Simula, perhaps not understanding the nature of the proceedings, stood pat. A vote was tak. n. with the result that Mr. Hutchinson and Mr. Helm all but tied for lirst choice, while Mr. Kimela brought up the n a r wi th two votes. Mr. Hutchinson and Mr. He tn then withdrew, leaving Mr. Simula In f u l l possession of the field. Mr. Sinn.la then tried to withdraw also, on the ground that he could not speak the Kngllsh language, but the delegates refused to allow a little matter of that sort to stand in the way. They told him he was "stuck anyhow" and "stuck" he was.

On the conclusion of the nominations the committee on referendum was discharged and the resignations of each of the nominee accepted These resignations are undated and are held by the county central committee so that If any man elected to office fails to f u l f i l l his pledges to his party they can be put in force at any time during his term of office.

A report of State Organizer John ( i Wanhope of a tour through Latah Bonner and M M Perce counties was read to the convention and showed that creditable gains had gaMJ made In each of the counties named.

On the conclusion of th • reading of this the proceedings of the day came to a close and the convention adjourned.

Tin- voter who refrains f rom voting the socialist ticket because h<- wants to get something "right away" Is acting at cross-purposi s wi th his Immediate Interests. If he really wants to g e t something at once, the surest way to get It f r om a non-socialist or anti-socialist party Is to vote the socialist ticket. Cor the bigger the socialist vote the readier wi l l republican and • I . mocratlc legislators and Judges be to grant some of the things that the socialist party demands. Ynu won't get the whole socialist program f rom their hands, but you wi l l ge something. And the smaller the socialist vote the more dilatory they wi l l be to appease your ,v rungs. A big socialist vote this fa l l wi l l Insure you of getting some concessions f rom the old-part.v rulers, and the bigger the vote ( l i e greater the concessions they wi l l ma ha to you. They are experienced at the game of getting and holding office, and they wi l l flunkey to sou as t i n y have heretofore flunkled to the barons of finance If you unitedly prove l.v your ballots that something has got to be done for you "r ight away" or you w i l l do something for yourself.
