She was a featured speaker at the Socialist Party Convention, held jointly for both Territories in Oklahoma City.

From the Appeal to Reason: Mother Jones to Massachusetts Socialists

From this week’s Appeal:

FROM MOTHER JONES.
—–

Through the columns of the APPEAL I desire to give expression to my deep appreciation of the thoughtful and kind consideration of the Massachusetts comrades during my recent illness. Your letter to Comrade Hogan, instructing him to spare no expense and that you would foot the bills, bears within itself a deep sense of comradeship which is worth much to us in the movement. I have never yet had to call on the comrades, having always felt that the Socialist movement had no right to pay my bills. My life work is consecrated to the oppressed and suffering ones of the human race; nevertheless, I feel a deep sense of gratitude to our Massachusetts comrades who so promptly and generously offered such substantial assistance.

While life remains I shall always be with you in the conflict.

MOTHER JONES.
