dozen United States Senators. and
twelve to fifteen members of the House
Of Representatives.
Fortunately the Socialist vote is so
scattered that its effect IS not seriously
felt. It is strongest in Massa chusetts,
where IT has for several years elected
members OF the State Legislature, ara
controlled several municipal govern
ments. 1t IS steadily increasing its
strength in New York Pennsylvania
Illinois, Wisconsin, and other StaIe5
where there are large cities Several
members Of the city council in Milwau-
kee are Socialists. and there IS one So
cialist in the city council Of Chicago
OF course, even at its present rate of
Increase. it viii be a long time before
Socialism could become an important
factor in such large States as New York,
Pennsylvania, Illinois or Wisconsin. and
II is the fact that Socialism is strong
only in the larger States that gives con-
ISOLATION TO the other parties.
Populism flourished for a time because
the bulk OF its voters were concentra ted
ii Western States OF comparatively
small voting strength. II is the tear
Of the loss OF a certain percentage Of
their votes 10 Socialism each year that
Is worrying the Democratic and Repub-
lican leaders, and has led many of them
10 consider seriously what can be done
TO prevent the spread Of the doctrines
which Socialism teaches.
The argument of the Socialists is also
pointed TO as reason why Mr.. Hearst
should be nominated He Is the cele-
brated trust buster" The Socialists
have no criticism 10 make of the trusts.
On the other hand. they contend tina;
these great combinations of capital are
but preparing the way for the advent OF
Socialism. that they are doing the work
necessary 10 be done before a reign OF
Socialism can be inaugurated. They are
destroying competition. and that IS the
thing which Socialism aims at; Social
ism looks forward 10 the time when all
kindred industries will be grouped TO-
gether under separate arrangements.
and they wish to have the people step
in and take control Hence the argu-
nent of some OF the Hearst men is that
he should be elected and bust" the
trusts. thus demOraiizing all forces Of
Socialism.

HEARST WOULD THROW
SOP TO THE SOCIALISTS
Argued That If He Is Not Nominated Party Will Poll
1900 600 Votes.

If the Hon. william r. Hearst is not
nominated for President Socialism viii
poll a million and half votes in tie
coming election.
This is the boast of Socialists. and is
being cautiously used by the supporters
Of the New York editor-statesman as IN
argument for the selection Of their fav-
orite as the standard bearer of the De-
mocracy. The nomination OF Hearst

Socialism. Laboring men who are ad-
vocating his candidacy will see that
there is redress for their grievances by
other means than a resort TO govern.
ment ownership Of all productive enter
prise If Hearst IS not nominated. many
laboring men Will regard his defeat as
an affrOnt TO their class. and rather
than support the nominees Of either of
the two great parties will throw their
strength 10 Socialism. and the Demo
cratic party would be the loser thereby.
Such an argument must necessarily be
used with care lest it might tend TO
show that there is in the Hearst fol-
lowing an element too radical and ire
sponsibie TO be trusted but it IS, new
ertheless. probable that the defeat Of
Hearst in the St. Louis convention will
50 displease some Of the labor leaders
that Socialism viii be benefited thereby.
As a matter Of fact, the rise II So
cialism is something which is causing
the leaders and thinking men of both
the old parties no small amount OF IN
easiness So Serious menac &c did the
Republican National Committee con-
sIoer the advancement Of Socialism that
at its meeting here last December II
appointed Il committee 10 confer and
affiliate with an organization in New
York for the purpose Of recommending
some plan whereby the spread OF the
doctrine may be stopped.
In 1880 the Socialists poIled approxi-
mately 10000 votes for their Presi-
Dental tickets. TWO ears later in the
State and Congressional elections they
nearly quadrupled their vote. bringing
III up TO almost $4,000 so that their
boast OF being able TO muster a million

not be an idle dream
one election yesterday Indicates at
least that Socialism. instead of declin-

fourth time, the candidate of the So
ciahsts polled more than 1900 votes
OUT OF total Of about 5000. His vote
was only 1900 less than that polled by
the Republican candidate. In 1902 the

member of the present House, and IN
that year the total Socialist vote IN
Milwaukee was 900 This year in d

An excessive number Of fire esca apes

regulation requiring all apartment
houses OF three or more stories in height
to be equipped with fire escapes.
C. NJ Campbell. who offered the re-
port on fire escapes that provoked the
associations resolution condemning 50
many escapes. claimed that the enact
ment Of the proposed regulation would
be hardship Oh the builders and would
subject them to needless expense He
could see no reason why apartment
houses three stories in height should be
equipped with the escapes II the regu-
iation did not apply to residences.
Copies OF the resolution opposing the
new rule were scnt 10 the District Com
missioners and to Congress.
