# Töö Lipp, Nimekiri nr. 1 (List No. 1), front page, Tallinn

Front page of the Tallinn socialist paper Töö Lipp, dated 4 (17) November 1917 (Julian and Gregorian). A black-letter headline 'Nimekiri nr. 1' (List No. 1) opens a party election notice with a six-point platform, and the next column is headed 'Maa ja wabadus kõigele rahwale!' (Land and freedom to all the people). The tell is the stack of unqualified slogans (end the war, land, freedom, autonomy) set as the page's lead, a party appeal in the party's own organ.
