Women In The ^ Socialist Movement

T h e recent convent ion of the So­

cialist party in C h i c a g o h a d eight

women in it seated as delegates.

A n d these women were not a l l f r o m

the states where women vote. T h e

states where women have fu l l suf­

frage, vo t ing at all elections, sitting

in both houses of the legislature,

and ho ld ing state offices, are W y o m ­

ing, C o l o r a d o , U t a h and Idaho.

T h e Social ist party is the on ly

pol i t ical organizat ion in this c o u n ­

try where women enter al l its c o u n

ci ls and work on the same terms as

men. Soc ia l i sm stands f o r i n d i v i ­

dua l freedom and Socialists construe

ind iv idua l s to mean women. W h e r e -

ever the Social ist party is organ ized

throughout the d o m a i n of the inter­

nat ional movement, in J apan , in

darkest Russia, C e r m a n y , S p a i n it

declares for woman suffrage. So­

c ia l i sm demands e c o n o m i c f r e e d o m ,

therefore universal i n d i v i d u a l free­

d o m . If women could once see

what this means to them, how the

shackles of the ages would l>e strick­

en from o l d customs and d i s a d v a n ­

tages they would unite in this c o m

tnon movement with an a r d o r and

intensity that they have never g iven

to the superficial reforms that en­

gage their attention.

T h e C h i c a g o women delegates

edi tor so the assoc ia t ion is now a first-class partnership.

M i s s Thomas is the State Secre­tary of Wiscons in . She has devot­ed p rac t ica l ly the whole of her l i fe­t ime to work fo r the betterment of m a n k i n d . She was wel l k n o w n as a writer of stories and verses, was connected wi th the w o m a n suffrage movement in New Y o r k , and came to C h i c a g o and became associated wi th Jane A d a m s at H u l l House .

M r s . K r a y b i l l of K a n s a s is the State Organ ize r of that State. She is a student of the M i l l ' s s c h o o l , has !>een associated with the woman suffrage movement and has had con­siderable experience i n p u b l i c work .

M r s . Cogswe l l is also a M i l l s s choo l graduate. She is a woman of means and is able to g ive her t ime to Soc ia l i sm wherever she l ikes.

T h e edi tor has asked me to give some history of myself i n connec­t i on with publ ic movements , and I c o m p l y with his request at the r isk of being thought perhaps a l i t t le egot i s t ica l . I was educated as a teacher i n I l l i no i s a n d spent the ear ly years of my l i fe in that work. I came out to Cheyenne as one of the H i g h S c h o o l teachers and f r o m there went down to D e n v e r to take a place on a newspaper. I marr ied in the west and several years after­ward became one of the nat ional organizers of the W o m a n Suffrage B M P elation, and in this capac i ty was i n a l l the state amendment cam paigns since C o l o r a d o in 1895. I began to work for S o c i a l i s m by 01 ganiz ing in the state of C t a h and was sent f r o m there to St. I .or is a-

na t iona l committeeman two pears ago. T h a t f a l l I headed the state t icket of ("(dorado as the So< i.tlist candidate for congressman at latftji . a fact of wh ich I am very proud, as I believe I am the on ly woman in the wor ld who ever o c c i q led such a pos i t ion . Was af terwards made state organizer of C o l o r a d o , and at piesent am do ing ag i ta t ion work in

Wisconsin. M r s . WiaonshStevens tbbottwas

a prominent figure at the conven t i on . She was the organizer of, and is the president of the W o m a n s ' Social is t U n i o n , ati o rgan iza t ion to prepare women f o r joining the Socia l i s t movement. She is an ex­ceedingly pretty woman w ith a pen chant for pretty re form dresses and on unconvent iona l l ines, and is wrap ptd up in the work sin- h.i:, under­taken. H e r seven weeks ' baby had his first out ing at the Socialist <MM vent ion .

Mi s s Josephine C o n g e r is k n o w n to most S in lal is tsas the ed i to r of the woman's department in the A p p e a l to Reason, and had charge of this part oi the work dur ing tnc conven t ion . M i s s Conger is a young and hand some woman fu l l of enthusiasm fo r the good cause.

M r s . May Wood S i m o n s e l ic i ted much admira t ion and interest d i n i n g the C h i c a g o gather ing. H e r remarkable in te l lec tua l g i f t s and fine educat ional t r a in ing and the able way in which she seconds her d is t inguished husband 's scho l a r ly efforts have made her an object of cur ios i ty to the c o m r a d e s h i p out­side of C h i c a g o . Pu t instead of be­ho ld ing in her the p l a in , severe and unpleasant female sc holar of tradi

She translates many of the best F r e n c h and C e r m a n works for the A m e r i c a n press, and is teaching a course i n economics .

A l l that vou need 10 do is to meet Debs to like him.

Every Socialist in the state should be on the subsrription books of the Montana New s.

The Socialist state ticket of Mon-tana will be nominated next week. Watch for their platform.

It appears that the Chicago So cialists have been having a very in teresting time, but nothing save good can come from the fight.

While many the Socialists are fighting about the platform, etc.. none seem to have a fight on the Standard bearers. Debs and Han ford.

There are some people who tlo not like I >ebs, but they • il l find when the votes are counted that there are over a million of us who do like him.

Union men, if you are not a So cialists, you should read the Mon­tana News. It is fighting your bat­tle, and even though it may be in a feeble way it is deserving of your support.

It is the hope of the Socialists that Heinze may go, and stav gone, for the sooner he is out of the way the sooner the real fight will be on; not until then will the common herd line up in the ranks of the Socialist par ty.

The real difference between the two old parties and the Socialist party is this: The two old parties control the rank and tile while in the Socialist movement the rank and file control the party. Which do you prefer?

Comrade Bertha S. W'ilkins, man­ager of the I.os Angeles Socialist gave one of the best condensed write-ups of the National Socialist convention published in the United States. The front page presented a fine typographical appearance in make-up that is so seldom seen in Socialist publications.

his urging of an acceptance of re­duction in wages, and his fit of ang er at Debs for his questionable acts leads the average laborer to ask what is the matter with that man Mitchell? It can be answered in one word.

Sounds O u r Sentiment*.

The Krie People, one of the best Socialist papers that comes to our exchange table, sounds our senti­ments to a "t" in the follow ing par­agraph in an editorial in repaid to the national platform:

The Krie People is not going to take a seat on the fence in this con­troversy. It has well defined views on the subject and will not hesitate to express them, but we may state that while the platform contains much that we would wish to see ex­punged, we have no intention of pushing the controversy to such limits as will in the least interfere with the propoganda work for the great campaign ahead of us, lieliev-ing that the subject is in no sense important enough to justify this. We believe it nothing short of crim­inal folly, under present circum­stances to attempt to spoil the So­cialist ship for this "hap'orth of tar." Honesty and sincerity of pur-DOM cannot be made an excuse for the mulish obstinacy that invites disaster at a critical period like the present.

While there is a strong feeling that the platform is not what it should be, there is a greater work staring us in the face at ti e present than monkeying oxer technical points—the work of propoganda. Herron's literary production would do for a state paper, but possibly it is none the less good for a platform and a lengthy propoganda docu­ment; in fact it recites the laborer's la^ef ro in (lenesis to Revelations, and the absence of the word "revo­lution" must have been an oversight for it contains everything but that.

However let us lav this time-tak­ing trouble aside until after the na­tional campaign, and then we will need something to "chew the rag about" and it will be a very good thing; and alter three years of chew­ing the next convention will be bet­ter posted as to what to adopt in the national platform

Old partyites should not make the mistake that when Socialists get in a fight among themselves that they are about to "bust" up. Such is not the case. They are simplv arranging the preliminaries to a more perfect order of solidarity. It is the same as the prize fighter in the ring with his trainer; he is net­ting ready to whip his opponent.

The report from Boston that Heinze would sever his connection with the state of Montana, as ar­rangements had been made to buy his mining interests by the Amalga­mated, caused some long faces in this state among the boodle poli­ticians. It's a sad blow to some of the "barrel, booze and boodle" M O

pie and their anti trust independent movement.

The letter of Eugene V. Debs criticising Mitchel l , the labor fakir, for urging a reduction in wages fo the miners, surely harpooned the fakir under the short ribs from the way he yells A hu-t bird alwavs flutters, and his request that the men quit work a hall hour during the funeral of Mark Hanna, which was, we are glad to say voted down,

Debs Speech of Acceptance.

In the councils of the S icialist party the collective will is supreme. (Applause.) Personally I could have wished to remain in the ranks, to make my record, humble though it might be, fighting unnamed and unhonored side by side with my comrades. I accept your nomina­tion, not because of any honor it confers—because In the Socialist movement no Comrade can be hon­ored except as he honors himself by his fidelity to the movement. I ac­cept your nomination because of the confidence it implies, because of the duty it imposes. I cannot but wish that I may in a reasonable measure

'meet your expectations; that I may prove myself fit and worthy to bear aloft in the coming strife the banner of the working class; that by my utterances and by my conduct, not in an individual capacity, but as your representative, I may prove myself worthy to bear the standard of the only partv that proposes to emancipate my class from the th rail -dom of the ages.

It is my honor to stand in the presence of a very historic conven-tion, and I would that K a r l Marx might be here today ; I would that Lassalle and Engels, the men who long before the movement had its present standing wrought and sacri­ficed to make it possible for me to stand in this magnificent presence— I wish it were possible for them to share in the glories of this occasion. We are on the eve of battle today. We are ready for the contest. We are eager for the fray. We depart from here with the endorsement of a convention that shall challenge undisputed the approval of the work­ing class of the world. The plat­form upon which we stand is the first American utterance upon the subject of international Socialism. Hitherto we have repeated, we have reiterated, we have followed. For the first time in the history of the American movement we h ^ e ' real­ized the American expression of the movement. There is not a line, not a word in that platform which is not revolutionary, which is not

clear, which does not state precisely and properly the position of the American movement. W e leave this convention standing on this plat­form, to throw down the gauntlet to the capitalist enemy, to challenge the capitalist oppressoi to do battle for the perpetration of a system that keeps in chains those in whose name we meet to day. (Applause.)

There is a republican party; the dominant capitalist party of this lime; the party that has its repre­sentative in the white house; the partv that dominates both branches of the congress; the party that con­trols the supreme court; the party that absolutely controls the press; the party that gives inspiration to the subsidized pulpit; the party that controls every force of government; the party that is absolutely in power in everv department of our activity. And as a necessary result we find that corruption is rampant; that the congress of the United States dare not respond to the demands of the people to open the sources of cor­ruption from which the lava stream llows down the mountain sides; that they adjourned long before the hour struck for adjournment in order that they might postpone the inevitable.

There is a democratic party — ( A Voice: "Where?") —a party that has not stock enough left to pro-< lain its own bankruptcy I laughter and applause); an expiritig party that stands upon the crumbling foundations of a dying class; a party that is torn by dissension; a party that cannot unite; a party that is looking backward and hoping for the resurrection of the men who gave it inspiration a century ago; a party that is appealing to the ceme­teries of the past; a party that is trying to vitalize itself by its ghosts,

by its corpses, by those who cannot be heard in their own defense. Thomas Jefferson would scorn to

enter a modern democratic conven­tion. He would have as little busi­ness there as Abraham Lincoln would have in a modern republican convention. If they were living to­day they would be delegates to this convention. (Tremend u o u s ap­plause. )

'The Socialist party meets these two patties face to face, without a semblance of apology, without an attempt at explanation, scorning to compromise, it throws down the gage of battle and declares that there is but one solution of what is called the labor question, and that is by the complete overthrow of the capi­talist system. (Applause.)

You have honored me in the mag­nitude of the task that you have im­posed upon me, far beyond the power of my weak words to express. I can simply say that obedient to your call I respond. Responsive to your command I am here. I shall serve you to the limit of my capac­ity. My controlling ambition shall be to bear the standard aloft where the battle waxes thickest. I shall not hesitate as the opportunity comes to me to voice the emancipa­ting gospel of the Socialist move­ment. I shall be heard in the com­ing campaign as often, and as de cidedly, and as emphatically, as revolut ionary, as uncompromising­ly as my ability, my strength and my fidelity to the movement will al­low. 1 invoke no aid but that which springs from the misery of my class; no power that does not spring spon­taneous from the prostrate body of the workers of the world. Above all other things I realize that for the first time in the history of all the ages there is a working class move­ment ("Hear , hear," and applause)

perfectly free from the seiitiiiicn tality of those who riot in the mis ery of the class who are in that movement. On this occ asion above all others, my comrades, we are ap­pealing to ourselves, we are bestir­ring ourselves, we are arousing the working class, the class that through all of the ages has been oppressed, crushed, suffered, for the one rea­son that through all the centuries of the past this class has lacked the consciousness of its overmastering power that shall give it control and make it master of the world. 'This class is just beginning to awaken from the torpor of the centuries, and the most hopeful sign of the times is that from the dull, the dim eye of the man who is in this class

there goes forth for the first time in history the first gleam of intelligence the first sign of the promise that he is becoming conscious of his power; and when he, through the inspira­tion of the Socialist movement, shall become completely conscious of that power, he will overthrow the capi­talist system and bring the emanci­pation of his class. (Creat Ap­plause. )

'To consecrate myself to my small part of this great work is my su­preme ambition. I can hope only to do that part which is expec ted of me so well that my comrades, when the final verdict is rendered, will say, " l i e was not a candidate for president; he did not aspire to hold office; he did not try to associate his name with the passing glories, but he did prove himself worthy to be a member of the Socialist party; he proved his right to a place in the International Socialist Movement of the W o r l d . " If when this little work shall have been completed this can be said of me, my acceptance of your nomination will have been so much more completely made than I < ouid hope to frame it in weak words that I close not with the decided ut­terance, but with the wish and the hope and the ambition that when the fight has been performed so far as it lies in the power of an indivi­dual to perform that task, that my acceptance of the honor you have conferred upon me will have been made and that your wisdom and your judgement will have been vin­dicated by the membership of the party throughout the country.

From the depths of my heart I thank you. I thank you and each ol you, and through you I thank those you represent. 1 thank you not from my lips merely. I thank you from the depths of a heart that is responsive to your consideration. W e shall meet again. We shall meet often, and when we meet finally we shall meet in much large numbers to ratify the coming of the Socialist Republic. (Creat and prolonged ap­plause. )
