More Socialism from Chicago....

   From a Jan. 6, 1889 meeting of the Socialistic Labor party, at Waverly Hall in Chicago:

The Indianapolis Journal, “Vote for what you want, but do not forget that the bill of rights gives every man the right to keep and bear arms, and, when you want to vote take your little musket to the polls with you, and then your vote will be counted, not before. Take the ballot, but first put an idea, a strong and determination behind it and then buy yourselves a good Winchester rifle. Be prepared to fight for your rights. Men who are armed are bound to be free….”, January 7, 1889
