The Socialist Candidate for Congress.
J. H. Walsh, Socialist nominee for congress, was born in Wisconsin October 7, '69, his parents moving to the state of Nebraska while he was but a lad of seven. His first activity in the political field was with the formation of the people's party, which was an outgrowth of the Farmers' Alliance organization. After the campaign of '96 Mr. Walsh aligned with the Socialist movement. He established the Judith Basin News at Lewistown over two years ago, which paper is now the Montana News, published at Helena. He is a member of the Typographical union and is always found working and sacrificing his time in the cause of the proletarian, to which class he belongs. With a thorough country school education, and the experience as a teacher for a few years, coupled with the advantage of the high school and other excellent educational features places him in a position to be of great benefit to the working class. Mr. Walsh is now making a lecture tour of the state of Montana, not in the interest of himself, but for the great cause of Socialism, which means the emancipation of the working class from the present wage system.
