MAT 11, 1920 REDS CAUSE UPROAR AT SOCIALIST MET struggle in behalf of human civili zation "The socialist party co-operates with similar partita in other coun tries and extends to them its full support."

THE IMPROVED Committee Demand for Distribu tion or Wealth Does Xot Satisfy Those Who Want Holshevism. MALTED NEW TOItK. May 10. The Illinois delegation to the convention of the socialist party of America, shouting for the radicalism of German, French, Italian and Russian socialism, today tittacked "conservative" leaders and their platform demands for popular administration of private property "for the benefit of all." Following introduction of a "dec laration of principles" and party plat form drafted under leadership of Mor ris Hillquit, the "fighting minority from Chicago" led their state's repre-sentatives-into what may develop into a party warfare of threatening aspect, it was stated tonight. J. Louis Engdahl, Samuel H. Hol land and William F. Kruse, all of Chicago, the last two under sentence for violation of the wartime espionage act, captained the radical element's ' troops today. When the "Hillquit platform" was submitted with the motion that it be adopted, Holland Sained the floor amid a tumult. Forriicn Radicalism Wanted. "I don't like this platform," he cried. "It contains nothing but nice phrases. He have had no opportunity to consider it. Yet Hillquit has the audacity to move its adoption. What are they trying to do? Throw it down our throats?" Hillquit stated he was following ordinary parliamentary procedure in moving adoption of his committee's programme, opening the way for de bate. He said, the programmes of the indeDendent socialist parties of Ger many, France. Italy and Russia had been studied, with resultant elimina tions until the tentative platform submitted had been brought down to its present size and shape "to meet the needs of America in 1920." Kngdahl in reply declared the plat form bore "no resemblance to the programme of our comrades in Ger many and Russia." The convention finally voted to go into committee of the whole to con eider the platform tomorrow. Debs Likely Candidate. The convention set Thursday after noon for the nomination of candi dates for president and vice-president. Eugene V. Debs, now serving 10 years for violation of the espionage laws, already has been proclaimed as the party's probable candidate for presi dent. A movement to induce James H. Maurer, president of the Pennsyl vania state federation of labor, to ac cept the nomination of vice-president was started today. Scott Ncaring, formerly professor of economics at the universities of Pennsylvania and Toledo and Seymour Stedman of Chi cago, general counsel of the party, are leading candidates for the vice presldrntial nomination. Mrs. Kate Richard O'Hare of Kansas City, now nervinpr two years in state prison at Jefferson, Mo., is also mentioned. Uivixlon of Wealth Wanted. The convention voted to send a tele- prum of greeting to the striking miners of Kansas. The "Jlillquit platform" includes the following "declaration of princi pies" over which the principal fight is being watred: "The socialist party of the United States demands that the country and its wealth be redeemed from the con trol of private interests and turned over to the people to be administered for equal benefit of all. "The socialist parly desires the workers of America to take the economic and political power from the capitalist class. "The socialist party, when in con trol, proposes to reorganize the gov ernment so as to change it from a tool of repression into an instrument of social and industrial service. "The socialist transformation can not be successfully accomplished by political victories alone. Dnlon .Mrricer FftTOrfd, "The socialist party does not Inter fere in the internal affairs of labor unions but supports them in all their struggles. In order, however, that such .struggles miprht attain the maxi mum of efficiency and success, the socialists favor the closest organic, co-operation of all unions as" one, organized working-class body. "The socialist party promises to make family lffe fuller, nobler and happier by removing the sordid fac tor of economic dependence of woman on man. "The socialist party adheres strict ly to the principle of complete sepa ration of state and church. "The socialist party seeks to at tain its end, by orderly and consti tutional methods. Violence Is not the weapon of socialism, but the short sighted method of the ruling classes. The socialists depend upon education and organization of the masses. "The intellectual and spiritual dom ination of the privileged classes has been so strong that they have suc ceeded in persuading their credulous fellow citizens that they, the despoil ers of America, are the only true Americans. "The sociaists emphatically reject this fraudulent notion of patriotism. "The socialist party gives its serv ice and allegiance to the mass of American people, the working classes, but this interest is not limited to them alone. "In modern civilization the destinies of all nations are inextricably inter woven. "The socialist movement is a world Xine Measures to Be Voted on at Primary Considered by Cham ber of Commerce Forum. . Nine measures to be voted on at the forthcoming primary election were discussed at the meeting of the mem bers' forum of the Chamber of Com merce yesterday, sample ballots for the referendum measures being dis tributed and the various bills ex plained by C. C. Chapman. ' Among the five proposed amend ments to the constitution to be voted on the speaker mentioned particu larly the state indebtedness limitation measure and the Crook and Curry counties bonding amendment, urging the passage of both. The good roads bill, he said, if passed, wourld make it possible for state roads now planned to be carried to completion. In considering the four tax meas ures to be voted on the speaker ac knowledged that in their entirety they added a considerable burden to the taxpayers, but nevertheless held that the merits of the four bills de manded their passage. A serious crisis in education throughout the state would result if either the higher education or the elementary school measure failed, he said, and the meas ure for educational aid for returned soldiers, sailors and marines he char acterized as a debt of honor. Justice and humanitarianism call for passage of the measure to provide a school for the blind, he said. GARS COLLIDE, TWO HURT TWO WOMEX IXJCRED WHEX AUTOS CLASH.
