A FIGHTER, NOT
IT HAS been aptly stated that residents oC the First
congressional district are "wearied of being represent
ed in congress by a male school niarni."
Thev are tired of pedantic instruction and egotistical
sounding brass, of trimming, of political bewilderment
and lusincenty.
The .First district should be represented by a man ol
brains, of courage, by a fighter for the rights of humanity,
a man whose legislative record shows him a militant figure
for the people.
Congressman Hawlcv has ever been, according to Sen
ator La Follette, "a faithful servant of the system." He
should bo replaced bv a faithful servant of the people.
Such a man is Robert Of. Smith, a native son of Jack
son countv, a self-made man, one of the ablest lawyers and
the best orator in the district, a born fighjter, a man of
courage, pertinacity and brains.
It "is seldom that southern Oregon has a chance to se
cure representation in congress. The chance is now of
fered. Lt should be eagerly grasped.
Bob Smith's majority in .Tackson county should be
large enough to elect him. As a matter of local pride, of
patriotism, and for the future welfare of the district, Bob
Smith should earn Jackson county almost unanimously.
SOME DON'TS
IN CALIFORNIA an insurgent, Hiram Johnson, heads
the republican ticket. Eost of the remainder of the
ticket consists of the old line "regulars."
This condition is reversed in Oregon. The ticket is
headed by the assembly nominee, "Jay Bowerman," while
a majority of the remainder are anti-assembly insurgents.
"I, lli c4-rtfnc nnnnnli! mn niniln t'nv "linVlllftllv" llV
XU UULU OLaLUS tlUUbtllO
leaders, who are lending support to those on the ticket who
are directlv at variance'with the principles represented by
the head of the ticket. It is another case of sacrificing
principle for partisanship.
Don't permit the party fetish to so blind you that you
will vote for a candidate opposed to your principles.
Don't vote for anv candidate you believe unworthy.
Don't vote for a candidate simply because he wears a
party label, opposed to principles of popular government.
Don't vote for a candidate who, having repeatedly iu
the past been a servant of system, now professes to have
no interests but the people's.
Don't vote for a candidate put forth by corporate in
terests, for their interests are not yours.
Don't vote for a candidate whose career has shown him
opposed to the direct primary and to Statement One, and
whose candidacy was promulgated in the hope of nullify
ing popular government.
A SOCIALISTS REPLY
TV. hn VHIfnr-
Plpaae crant me s:ace in your pa-
to answer an article in a local
r entitled. "No Wage Slavery."
writer takes issue with Eugene

Tho tvri.or takes issue with EuRenei
V Debs and the socialists for calling
the wage class wage slaves, and goes
on to say that "never In the history '
.i i.-iw-..! wnv, h-m there bepn
such unbounded prosperity as at
present " He further states: "Where
L tya mnn that now has an auto-.
mobile that belongs to him. that has
nnt been one of the down-and-outs
at one time or another?" etc.
The trouble with tne writer is inai
he is long on argument ana snon
on logic, for when he admits that it
is possible for someone to rise iroiu

inlts the facts of divergent classes
of a subject class and a master cla.s,
for it is Impossible for one to rise
from a lower class to a higher lt
there are no classes. Now, If there
are two classes there must be some
economic bases for them.
Tho economic basis for the wage
slave class lies in the fact that they
are a subject class. Just as much 30
as were the chattel slaves of the
south In 1SC1. John Adams In 177G
says: "That as to this matter, it
was of no consequence by what name
you call your people, whether by
free- men or slaves. In some coun
tries the laboring poor were called
free men, in others slaves; but tho
difference was only imaginary.
What matters lt whether a landlord
employing ten laborers on his farm
gives them annually as much as will
buy the necessities of life, or gives
those necessaries at short hand"?
(From "Lost Principles of Sectional
Equilibrium Barbarosa. page 39).
And the Charleston. S. C. Baptist
association memorial to tho state
legislature In 1835, In opposing abo
lition, put it thus: "It ampunts In
effect to this: whether tho opera
tlves of a country shall bo bought
and sold, aa in this state (South
Carolina) or whether they shall be
hirelings, and their labor become
property, as In other states."
So you see many of tho old slave
masters saw tnai mere wu uu "
