The Socialist Party came into existance, not to Reform, but
to Socialize the industries and means of distribution and this
is the essence of the working class movement. Capitalism
may be depended upon to reform itself, which' it does time
after time and has done over and over again, striving only to
prolong its own existance. There will be many a mighty
cleaning of the Augean stables by a hundred Ilurcules' one
after another. "With all this running about, here and there,
and turning this side out and then the other, the Socialist
Party shall not concern itself.
It has its own aims and its own ends and it our first, last
and most immediate purpose to get control of city, county, state
and national governments and to use the legislative powers to
better conditions of the farmers and the wage earners and
free them from the fear of poverty. What shall we say then
to the little minds who would make hard and fast lines of
conduct for all the rest! Why simply this. That by doing
as they do they but write down their own limitations; pro
claim their own narrowness of vision, their own small capacity
for greatest usefulness. The wordly disputes of the sectar
ians; the yammering of the dogmatists, serve only to delay
the coming of labor into its own. The Socialist, whose under
standing is clear, who follows the profession of his own
heart, should be ready at all times to forward every act with
in his power that gives any promise of awakening class con
sciousness among workingmen and bring about solidarity of
working class action all along the line of cantast between the
dispossessed masses and their capitalist masters.
A PLATFORM THATlSs SOMETHING
THE SOCIALIST PLATFORM ADOPTED IN THIS
STATE WILL BE THE ONLY POLITICAL PLATFORM
ADOPTED THIS YEAR THAT HAS ANY MEANING.
It is the only platform that will be lived up to, or will ever
become law.
This does not necessarily imply that all the other platforms
will be of the railroad variety, "built only to get in on and not
to ride on." None of the others can be carried out.
Whether expressed in the form of a regular platform or not,
all the other parties will declare for regulation or restriction
or destruction of great industries. None of these things are
possible.
All will declare for greater economy in government and
lower taxes. This plank will be plainly dishonest, for all in
telligent persons know that as the functions of government
ft:iml liiMilinn muyr nlun nvrmiwl nrwl ut fai ia nirmrmTr' '
- j. ...... .... .. v. . . ..it.ow it..).' i i ...u, , (1 . .... llu 4.111 J
is concerned, all other parties will spend more in obstruction
and restriction than in construction, and nearly all money so
spent is wasted.
It is probable that one of the cant phrases hurled at the
Socialist platform will be that it is not "practical." If prac
tical means capable ot realization, then it is the only practical
one Ihat will be oil em I tins year.
J he things it stands for will come to be. Some of them
will be taken up by those who now denouce them and carried
through in the hope of "stopping Socialism." Some of them
Avill come when a majority of the voters see the necessity and
ut'niiiiiuiiiy in nociaiisiii.
But all of them will come. This is not because the persons
wiio wrote the Socialist plattorm picked out the most popu
lar tilings. Some of the things in that platform are not good
political fish bait. Other parties are much more anxious about
pleasing the public than the Socialists.
But the things in the Socialist platform will come to pass
because they are a part of the things that must come with the
dovelopement of forces now growing powerful in our society.
Some of these things have been in Socialist platform for more
than half a century. Some of them, that were laughed at as
"impractical" a generation ago, are now approved by a ma
jority of the population. The things that were the foolishness
of our fathers are the wisdom of today.
The Socialist platform is the only one whose plunks make
a complete structure. The planks in the other platforms are
drifting loose on the Hiver of Doubt and its numerous tri
butaries, that How into the marsh of stagnation.
The Socialist platform is a social program, closely knit to
gether and forecasting the steps which society must take to
further the interests of the peoplo who produce the weatlh
of this state.
It is a good platform for the young to study, because it is
an outline of the institutions that will exist when they come
to manhood.
