follos price utah oat 14 1915 mr robert crockett Cioc kett editor sun city deal sir bir in view of the fact it that at the more intelligent of the worlds population irig 1 long since aln e recognized the woith of socialists and that as an organization owing to its stand on all things Pert pertaining to the betterment of the lium humin in race the are to be praised and respected for the results attained so far conceded bj b our opponents that as c socialists lowa lists the individual will nill rank on an uve ige higher both mentally and anor allet than a non socialist considering that capitalistic capit governments hive endeavored to outdo themselves ves in honoring members of the socialist boci alist part it seems strange that in this dand ajr d and ago age we ae as a socialist local ind it necessary to call bour our attention i ion to the above and that we resent tha slur you impi IMP by repeatedly pro fi c gnp the word socialist chene t r Y you 0 u seem to hive irive occasion sion to N vilify I 1 W C of the news advocate 1 if mr benfer had bad LA ever or given us any reason to suppose that he wis ts a so calist either bj b T word vord or in his newspaper pa per we should not raise an adv objection to your using the word yord Y ord in the manner vou do ont knowing thit he is not a dues paying member of the party is sufficient evidence to us that we have no claim on him if any anything thing further were needed to disprove him a socialist 1 we e would tall i all your attention to the support he bavy the progressive part in the last C r no do socialist would do that because it would meta but one thing the necessity sity of reading the guilty ole out of the tile party varty DISGRACE therefore wo we cr only come to the conclusion that you are using the word solely as an insult and reflecting upon not only the law abiding so 0 o aalst citizens of this town tori who ho we e venture to state will average in all respects with others b bat ut also the three million socialists of the U united acted alted states estimate that two million are disfranchised by capitalistic legis laj lal tion and also the thirty million socialists cia lists of tho the world we are not so simple as to presume that you do not know better than to use tho the word in the way you do we realize that placed ia in the position you are economic p pie ssuie make siou do things that 3 ou N so do were you free to exercise your own judgment and while in a way we perhaps should overlook the insult for this reason wo cannot fail to see that for this very vry reison the insult becomes that much the greater because knowingly ou revile us through another party for the sake as we tako take it tho benefit which jou think ou may reap at our expense As far as 3 ou and mr banter are concerned political we socialists begard you as one you both stand for the capitalistic system of society with all the misery and degre depreciation dation it entails both of you no doubt sincere in your our attacks upon the evil effects of capitalism as you seb see them horn poni a our respective viewpoints but for reasons perhaps best known to our ives never neer touching upon the causes tor

receipt of a a corn com tion from the local socialist organization criticising criticizing critic ising this paper for having referred to benfer of the news advocate as a socia socialist hit and reminding us that m man any thou sands of respectable members rs of thit organization are in r reality insulted b our allusions to any connection between benfer and that org organize tion it seems thit the attitude ot of benair in supporting the progressive croad during the recent election was too much for the that tho p ogress ives are looked upon as looters and gi gl and therefore taboo to the tile sp socialist ic le formers is the burden of the complaint the ver er fact that benfer is deemed un unfit alt for affiliation with the local boci soci socialists alises that SOCI socialism allam possesses some adeila ide ils which are creditable it would seem seeta that the efforts of benfer to corin condict tet his parasitical graft hooks with the tile socialist structure have not met with favor our sincera is extended the socialists cia lists and ve ue that our sole justification in so representing benfer vas his ou otan n claim which now appears to be like so many other 0 his
