| Transcript | illimitable field. It is the sole propagandist in the English tongue whose field is equal to the nation's boundaries. Sections and members- at-large may not fail, particularly during election time—and we are now in the midst of such a time—to spread this seed-replete organ of the Evangel that has brought and that holds them together—the noblest Spartan band in the land. Fall to, ye men of the S. L. P.! Ye salt of the earth, fall to! Our Tenth Anniversary (Editorial by Daniel De Leon in the Daily People, July 3, 1910.) The Daily People was the answer given by the Socialist Labor Party, the head of the column of the American labor, or Socialist movement, to the conspiracy against it that came to a head on the night of July 10, 1899, and was intended to bag, by muzzling, the Party. The answer was siven within a twelve-month of that July night. It was the logical answer. Long had the S. L.

The consequent result was the speedy realization 'of the Party's immediate aim—the establishment of its English daily. The Daily People was launched ten years ago, on Sunday, July 1, 1900. From the day that the approaching event of the launching of the Daily People cast its unmistakable, well defined shadow across the path of the conspirators, the conspiracy began to assume a mass character. The visionary and reactionary hostile elements above named reached out for further allies. Their kindred, 30 |
