raise the necessary funds to send

Whereever five or more eftn

back at
DO IT NOW. Then elect a dele-
gate or delegates. No Socialists
in the state ean complain of not
♦being represented, it will be their
fault if they are not.
Visitors who are .not delegates
are welcome to come and look on.
Delegates should be provided
With credentials from their local
eeeretary and must carry a paid-
up red card, because this gather*
infc like every other convention in
Texas will be strictly o na card
basis.
This convention will act in an
advisory capacity suggesting to
the membership of the state what
the best method of haadi'"g the
. enormous encampments next year,
what tactics ahall be employed in
the coming campaign, how best to
feature the questions of Land and
Money in mxt campaign, how be*;
to circumvent the Donk politicians
and keep the working «]«"■> out o!
the July primary trap, and take
such other steps as will safeguart
our movement including the seleo*
tion of oommitteea for suggestini
constitutional amendments am
platform planks.
Remember that Waeo is tho rail
road oenter of the state and the
convention will occur during the
great Cotton Palace, that the fare
is 1 1(3 from all portions of the
state, perhaps lower, and hotel ac-
comodations can be secured for
as low as $1 per day.
The convention will last two
days, November 11 and 12, and
will be the greatest gathering of
the kind in the history of the
South. The Land League will be
in cession on thi following day,
November 13, in the same place,
when important steps will be taken
looking towards the permanent
betterment of the actual farmers
of the South.
Among those who, will take part
in the convention will be Coving-
ton Hall, fresh from the timber
belt of Louisiana, State Secretary
T. A. Hickey, Stanley J. Clark,
Judge E. 0. Meitoen, E. R. Meit-

As I write cm Friday^ October
22, ex-preaident Chas. & Mellcn, of
the New Yortt. New Haven * Hart
ford Railway, is on the witness
stand before the Federal court in
New York and it is shown from his
testimony that he snd his friends
including Morgan, Sr., had milked
the New Haven Of over $100,000,
000 which they put in their own
pockets, while rolling atoek and
equipment of the New Haven deg-
enerated to the point where acci-
dents were a weekly, daily and
hourly occurence.
Morgan, Mellen, and all their
pale got by because of their con-
trol of politics in New England.
They owned the governors, the le-
gislatures, the judges and the rail-
way commissions of the states
through which the New Haven
railway runs.
The Bebel wants to distinctly go
on record now as saying that if a
similar control of the railway com-
mission in 1912, , would not have
existed in Texas 26 lives would not
have been snuffed out that morn-
ing and the 1200 shopmen m Hous-
ton the 600 in San Antonio, the400
in El Paso and similar aggrega-
tions of union shopmen along the
Harriman lines would have won
their strike.
The three members of the rail-
Way commission then officiating
were Messrs. Mayfield, .Williams
aud Wortbam. They were as black-
hearted tools of Julius Krutohnitt,
manager of the Harriman lines, as
any of the dirty $3-a-day gunmen
as he had in his employ.
The Bebel believes that the only
time when/ human life will be safe
either for the passenger >riding or
the employes working will be when
the nation confiscates the railways
by due process of Jaw in the inter-
est of the people and when that
good day comes, trains . win, not
be stalled at Hallettsville or else-
where while the engineer purchas-
ed a package of brap.

party can bring this good day
