But we do not think that we can suspend our activity with regard
to the speediest possible opening of the Constituent Assembly.
We address an energetic appeal to all the deputies; in the name of
the fatherland, in the name of the Revolution, in the name of the
duty which devolves upon you by reason of your election, come,
all, to Petrograd! On the 1st of January all the deputies present
will decide on the day for the opening of the Constituent
Assembly.
We appeal to you, citizens! Remind your elected representatives of
their duty.
And remember that your salvation is solely in your own hands, a
mortal danger threatens the Constituent Assembly; be all ready to
rise in its defense!
THE REVOLUTIONARY SOCIALIST FRACTION OF THE CONSTITUENT
ASSEMBLY.
On the 3d of January the League for the Defense of the Constituent Assembly
held a meeting at which were present 210 delegates, representing the
Socialist parties as well as various democratic organizations and many
factories--that of Putilov, that of Oboukhov, and still others from the
outskirts of Narva, from the districts of Viborg, Spassky, and
Petrogradsky, from the Isle Vassily.
