A VICTORY FOR ALL OF US

EUGENE V. DEBS says the vote of eight to four fo acquittal in the second Masses trial is a "victory for all of us."

It is a vindication of the right of free press, it is a triumph for international socialism, and it opens up a great future of freedom and power for the Liberator.


Will you celebrate this victory by becoming a stockholder in the Liberator Publishing Company?

This is the magazine in which Art Young and John Reed and Max Eastman and Floyd Dell (the indicted editors) and a dozen other leading socialist artists and writers tell the truth as they see it—it is your magazine—it is the only popular magazine of revolutionary socialism in America.

Will you help sustain it?

It will cost $20,000 a year for three years to make the Liberator self-sustaining. One share of stock costs ten dollars.

Actually, if one-fifth of our readers would become stockholders, we should be in possession of that necessary fund.

We have 233 stockholders now. Will you join the list?

Send a pledge if you cannot send the money just now—for we must know our resources.

Yours for the Great Change,

THE EDITORS.
