From the Appeal to Reason: Comrade Wayland Does His Part for Socialist Candidates
In this week's Appeal to Reason, Editor J. A. Wayland describes how he has been working, on his own time, for the Socialist Party candidates and asks the Appeal Army to do the same:
WILL YOU HELP
----------
Last week I rode sixty-five miles, circulating Appeals and pamphlets, about Girard [Kansas]. One evening after work I made twenty miles and left an Appeal and two pamphlets at every farm house. Don't feel to dignified to do such work, and the most humble can do it and by it do just as effective work as the most brilliant speakers. I intend to keep this up during the entire campaign, giving fresh literature at each covering of the same roads. I do this after my day's work in the office is done. Ten thousand men doing this two or fours hours a week would make a tremendous breach in capitalism this fall. J. A. WAYLAND.
Also from this week's Appeal:

REPUBLICAN PROSPERITY
The Seattle, wash., Times of June 26th, has the following headline describing the poverty that exists in that city:
"Live from Refuse of Barrels-Motley Crowd Daily Robs the Garbage Man in Alleys."
Fifty years ago who would have predicted such conditions, except in case of famine following famine, would have been put in an insane asylum. But our glorious republic has been captured by the same element that controls Europe and we have reached the shining portals where American families have been reduced to feeding out of slop barrels. Vote the old tickets some more, and more people will be reduced to the conditions. Hurrah for Rosy and Parker! Hurrah for the trusts! Hurrah for imperialism and monopoly! Will you believe evidence form your own papers?

Hellraisers Journal is on vacation!
Hellraisers will be on a vacation of sorts until September 22nd, and will appear in abbreviated form until that date. A complete vacation is not possible since the ruling class never took a vacation from their suppression and oppression of the working class.
There are no limits to which powers of privilege
will not go to keep the workers in slavery.
