TEXT Or THE PLATFORM We, the Socialist party of the state of Oregon, in convention assembled, proclaim our allegiance to tht Socialist party of America and affirm our unfaltering ad herence to the principles and program of tht international revolutionary socialism. Wt bate our appeal upon tht following declaration at our platform principles: 1. Labor produces all wealth, 2. Labor's share it a mean and un certain portion of its products. 3. Tht capitalist class appropriates products of labor by tht privata owner ship of the means of production and dis tribution, by and through tht wage sys tem, being thus enabled to live in idleness and luxury. 4. An inevitable class war it . created by tht appropriation qf labor's products S, The glass struggle must continue to long at the profit tyttem endures. 0. The most efficient and potent weap on with which the people can successfully oppose tht capitalist class it tht ballot 7. If elected to any office tht Social ist's one and only consideration shall be tht working glass is this legislation fav orablt to tht working class? If not I am against it 8. Wt dtclart in favor of tht tqual suffrage of men and women. 9. In conclusion, we appeal to all workingmen to study the principlesof So cialism, to vote with their class at all elections, until they overthrow the powers of capitalism and terminate fortvtr tht class struggle and inaugurate the co-operative commonwealth, based on the fundamental principle: "To every worker I the full product of hit labor." .
