The assassination of President McKinley
was a national calamity, and no one deplores it more than the Socialist Party,
notwithstanding we are classed with the assassinator by the ignorant and uninformed.
If there were more Socialists there would be less
danger to the powers that be, and some day we hope to elect a President, and
when we do he will be safe as any Republican President.
Inclosed you will find money for two cards. I
had expected to sell your cards long before this, and would have done so only
for the national calamity. Later on, when the nation’s grief has subsided and
it is safe to tell people you are not of the G. O. P. crowd, I will sell the
remaining cards and remit to you. They have got to go. If I can’t sell them,
I will give them away and settle on my own account.
The day is coming when we will no longer be confounded
with Anarchists, and we won’t be afraid to “speak out in meetin’” for fear some
one will mob us. Yours,
M F.
