Dear S i r : Y o u r s of the :'4th Inst, received, requesting information wi th­out any political bias as to the stand­ing of M M M V. D.-bs in this com­munity.

I n reply, will state that V M M th. • • \ . rw helming majority of the people here are opposed to the social and economical theories of Mr. Debs, that there is not perhaps a single man in this city who enjoys to a greater de­gree than Mr. Debs the affection, love, and profound respect of the entire community .

l i e is Cultured, bril l iant, eloquent, scholarly and companionable, lovable in his n lutions w ith his fellow man. At home he Is known as "(}«ne," and that perhaps indicates our feeling to­wards him as a man, independent of bin political views.

He numbers his friends and asso­ciates among a l l classes, rich and poor, and some of the richest men l u r e , people who by very Instinct are hitter against social ism, are warm per­sonal fr iends of Mr. Debs.

I l l s personal life Is spotless and he enjoys a beautiful home life. F e w public men have been more persistent­ly nnd cruel ly misrepresented by the press of the country.

W h e n such men as J a m e s Whitcomb Itlley, the Hoosier poet, cornea to Terr . - Haute, he Is a lways the guest of Mr. Debs.

I f you care to use this letter In any way lor publication, vou are at M M M to do so. Kvery word I have written, and I am not in sympathy with .Mr. I) . bs' views on social ism, I know would be hearti ly Indorsed by the peo­ple of this city. Very respectfully,

J A M K S I . V o . V S . Mayor.

My conclusion is that our friends • M the other side of the channel are i .11. ss|y excit. d ov >T this war busl-

r.« <s. We. too. in le rmany have a great

economic cris is to meet. It is the most unlucky moment to think of a war T h a t would, indeed, be to cast ..nt the devil hv M M M

Besides, a war MMMI Knglund and C . i many would b ad to a Kuropean war—that Is, to a world conflagration, such as has n. yer before taken place. T h e G e r m a n Social Democrat ic party will do its utmost to prevent such, but should It happ. n In spite of all their efforts, those who light this fire would also have to bear the consequences Vv Inch await them.

T h e vast majority of the MMMM) i.ie not thinking of a war with Kng­lund, and. indeed, do not do so on quite sober. MMM grounds. We have nothing to gain, hut much to lose.

.Might I . then, on the grounds here m. MMMM. urgently dissuade the F.ng-llsh fr iends from sending a deputation to C rmanv ? Such an act would b. falsely interpreted by our opponents It would look as if in F n g l a n d MMM w . r e a f r a i d of C i m a n y . That we would avoid. What purpose | Id such an act have? We could only suy In reply w hat we MMM air. .olv and so often have said at congresses, meetings, and In newspapers, ami will say again Of the solidarity of the Kngl ish and H e r m a n working classes the rub rs on this side and on that side are convinced. Therefore, there is no need of any fresh assurance. Be­sides, the H e r m a n Social Democrat ic party wil l take occasion on their next assembly In Nuremberg to declare tie Ir attitude on International rela­tionships.

T o the T r a d , s T'nionist and Trade D M M

F I How workers , greeting: A ques­tion has bei n raised In your midst which i c M M M a straightforward an­swer.

Broth, r • lumpers, president of the A m i r l c a n Federation of I r. having lately enter, d the political arena , edi­torially In the Federatlonist for .*VP-tembi r. a sks the question of the So­cialist party "Where did you get the money '.•"

Y'ou are well aware of the fact that the Socialist party is the only political party which publishes Its . very f inan­c ia l transaction.

Pr- vlously a list of a l l contributions up to August 15 was published and circulat . d. and a complete MMM up to September 1 is herewith MMMM.

T h i s r> port is the sufficient answer of the Socialist party. But M now respectfully request you to make fur­ther reply by assisting in financing th. only political party wh ich Is composed of, and stands for. the working class, and working class interests MMM

Now, capital ism and the wages sys­tem, viewed from any standpoint is in ­defensible. It presupposes and just i ­fies the eternal MMMMMMl of the working class, by conceding prop, rty rights, in the means of life, to th>-masti r class. Mill ions of will ing work- rs. MM and starving in th>- most bountiful country in th- w o r l d — t h . s e he Its fruits today.

W h a t Is the working c las s? The mil l ions who produce all wealth, and who l.y the same tok>n of right, should M n all vv. al th.

In th.- MMM declaration th. r>- s no evasion, thought of compn.inis . . . .r shadow M turning.

The republican and democratic

parties have each In turn and accord­ing to their opportunities served fa i th­fully and only the employing class. Both have be« n weighed In the ba l ­ance and been found wanting.

The great* st good to the greatest i iumber is the keynote of popular gov­ernment. W e know these fr iends of labor, IMMM) of promise heforr and fruitless of performance af ter election. It is time for the workers , the great­est number to rule and enjoy the cr- a test good that government can be­stow.

POST'S ATTACK IS NOT VERY DANGEROUS

of th*' mill ions that he has wrung

trom the working c lass through the

adulterated products he places upon

the market , and the employment of

ch. up labor, he buys the space of

daily papers as he would for an ad­

vertisement and vomits forth his mur­

derous attack upon labor unions, evi­

dently with a view to influencing the

election. The article in question is entitled,

"A Dangerous T r u s t . " and appears in the Helena Independent, the local or­gan that is boosting the democratic ticket. T h e tirade is a direct and bit­ter attack upon unions and organized labor In general. T o be sure Mr. Post takes pains to say in his postscript that he Is "In favor of trades unions," provided that their "Impudent, law-

T h e r e w. have It. T h e capitalist law is of course the test of working class "honesty." It is unnecessary to apply s tub a cr i t ic ism to the capitalist class

The open, cheap, demagogic Insult, however, lies ill the tawdry effort to paral le l a labor organisation with the great capitalist trusts of the country. T h e first pragaraph reads as follows:

"The only trust having the impu­dence to openly assert that it is going to elect Its own trust representatives to public office Is the lals .r MMt

"The election therefore will i M M mine whether the common citizens i . tain control of publ ic affairs, or a l ­low the labor trust magnates to gov­ern."

Such a howl of terror can only de­ceive the few who are not today fam­il iar wi th and interested in the ag­gressive combinations of the working class Working c lass organization is today recognized throughout the world as the safeguard of civil ization: and a mini who attack! 1 It openly and defiantly as Post has done simply brings down about his ears the sense

of justice and tie d. termination of society to protect itself.

But it Is a matter of surprise that th.- rft mocratic party should make use of su. h mater ia l at this time, wh. n it has M M m a k i n g the grand stand play that it is the party of labor, and has beguiled the servile Gompers Into a convulsive though abortive effort to l ine up the unions on the side of ita react ionary follies and crimes. A n attack on the labor un­ions by the democratic papers when' the democrat ic party M M M to win through their al legiance is certainly a unique way of conducting a c a m ­paign dependent upon the votes of laboring men.

T h i s old gag of a labor union being a trust is pretty passe and tiresome. T h e courts have worked Its senaelesa folly to the limit against every effort that labor has mad. to protect itself. But labor is militant and strong, and Is on th. t v . ot protecting itself by its ballots, and if labor is a dangerous trust today it wil l be still more so to th. oppr. ssiv. capitalist wh> n it has th.- courts and MjMMMNi In Its hands.

T h e • labor trust" game was at«-lesnpted h i r e in Montana by T o m . MMM hurst at the last session of the legislature 111 his infamous "anti­trust" bill. The bill was simply a n -o t h . r ot tho-i u.isty M M M ) arTulrs that th. capital ists atti nipt to slide through on the sly, . vp. d i n g that la­bor wil l MMM know it is being knBed until the issu. comes, and the "law" is shown entr . nch. d against the help- , less working man

T h i s "anti-trust" law of S w i n d l e - , hurst's look* d innocent enough on the face of It. It was a w hale against , against combinations of a l l sorta c a l ­culated to control trade and O O M - -M O D I T I K S T h . "commodities" I n ­cluded a m a n s selling of his own l a ­bor pow.r . In other words, the dirty, contemptible, sneaking bill was In re- , strlction of combinations of labor.

T o m Swlndlehurt Is running for lieutenant governor on thu democratic ticket. T h a t in itself | B enough to curse the entire democrat ic ticket and program so far as labor is concerned.'
