VOL. III. HELENA, MONTANA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 3,1905. NO. n H. Lynch Answers Frederick Heath

To The Montana News: I received a bundle of your papers containing consecutive issues from March 15th to April 12th, inclusive. There must be a dark gentleman in the woodpile somewhere, as these are the first I have received for a month. 1 note Comrade Heath's letter in regard to an article that I wrote in Spokane, and which was reproduced by the Weekly People of New York. The phrase to which Comrade Heath takes exception appeared among others of a like expression, with reference to what appears to me as a peculiar species of Social• ism now obtaining within the So• cialist party, in some sections of the United States. Obviously, Comrade Heath has placed an improper construction upon my assertion, as I never even intimated that any of the Socialist aldermen of Milwaukee introduced a bill in the interest of the small gas manufacturers of that citv. Mv •imitation, as nearly as I can now repeat verbatim, read as follows: "Among other things, the Socialist aldermen of Milwaukee are inter• ested in cheap gas for the small manufacturers." The article emanated from a letter written by ('umrade Welch, social• ist alderman of Milwaukee, in an is• sue of the Social D—IQCf tic Herald some two months ago. while in the heat of the city campaign there, who in explaining the benefits o4 "Municipal < (wnership" for the 'people' pointed out that the small manufacturers would be among those benefited. " At the time I called your attention to the article, ami requested that you reproduce it. Mv current issues of the Herald, with other Socialist literature, are immediately placed in propaganda service, when read. m The matter opens up a discussion in a more general wav. bearing upon ditlerences of opinion on tactics now abroad in the Socials! party. Little is gained in arguing the merits and demerits of the contend• ing faction's premises; results must be consulted. Comrade Heath will first agree that opportunism serves best as a political lly-paper in the mustering of so-called Socialist votes. If so, he will also admit that slumps in the Socialist vote, in America, occur with greater fre- ipiency where opportunism obtains, and that opportunism, where it pre• vails throughout the world, has its counterpart, a weak working class movement. Does Comrade Heath know of any method by which the Socialists will gain possession of the means of producing wealth other than by con• fiscation? Why resort to sophistry via a veiled platform? Is it not just as reasonable to de• mand Win.
