tory Of the movement in Germany
that we have sustained such reverses.
In the first Reichstag of the Empire,
elected in 1871, we had fewer mem
bers than in the parliament of the
Confederation elected in 1867. Then
our representation rose from 2 in 1871
to 9 in 1874 and to l2 in 1877. Then,
in 1873, il fell to 3. In 1881 il rose
again to IL and in 1884 to "a. But in
1887 il was reduced to IL. Since then,
in 1890, 1898, 1898 and 1908, our dele
CATION grew to 35, TO A, to 90 and to
81.
Twice in these thirty-six years our
popular vote has fallen of-in 1878,
when lost56,OO0, OF Is per cent Of
our total; and in 1881, when we lost
$4,000, OF about 35 per cent.
This time, altho we have as yet no
full and definite report, it seems fairly
certain that the decrease in our rep
resentataion is not due TO any loss in
the popular vote. According to all the
dispatches so far received, the Social
list vote is at least as large now as in
1903 and probably somewhat larger.
The total vote is largely increased.
The various capitalist OF reactionary
parties made an extraordinary good
campaign, following methods learned
from the Social Democracy. They got
out hundreds of thousands of voters
who have hitherto stayed at home.
Also, in critical districts, they made
combinations in advance TO an extent
unknown in past years.
The principal gain was made by the
National Liberals; so far they have
gained Is new seats and will undoubt-
edly get still more next Tuesday. The
Conservatives have gained 10, the
Radicals 2, the Cleyicals one. and
some of the numerous smaller parties
have also made gains.
As in 1908, we carried five of the six
districts in Berlin and all the three
in Hamburg. Richard Fischer Heine
Singer, Robert Schmidt, and Ledebour
/ are our representatives from the
former city and Bebel, Dietz, and
Metzger from the latter. Bernstein

ity in America in its ability to an
alize the German elections, gives the
following summing up of the situa-
ton: There can be no doubt that our
party in Germany, as a parliamentary
party, has suffered a great deal The
Social Democratic party of Germany
after the election of 1903, had SO re.
representatives., but during the last four
years they have lost four seats by
death, resignation, etc. At the time
of the dissolution of the Reichstag
there were still 30 SocialDemoerats
in that body. January 25, 1907, the
Social Democrats elected only 30 mem
bers as compared with 50 in the gen
eral election of 1903. On Feb. ) the
party compeles in 20 DISTRICTS In
Germany an absolute majority is nee
esary for an election, and where this
is not determined by the first election
Stichwahl( secondary election) is
held between the two candidates hav.
ing the highest number of votes. The
chances are very slim that the Social
Democrats will get more than 20, or
at the utmost % additional seats in
the Stichwahl, because all the other
parties usually unite against the So
cial- democrats. Even the Centrists,
who are in the opposition, have given
this order. The strength of our party
in the next Rcichstag will not exceed
so or possibly SO seats. We have lost
about three-eighths Of our strength
in the Reichstag.
This looks like n voritable disaster,
but il is not IL we know the conditions
in Germany. In the first place heavy
vote was polled while the vote Of
1903 was light. With a full vote the
Social Democrats could have lost two
thirds of their seats without receiving
single vote less than in 1908. The
Berlin Vorwaerts claims that our vote
has increased 10 to Is per cent. The
antiquated method of distributing the
representation gives no adequate meas.

A condition of affairs is prevailing
in official circles in Butte, that for
low down, contemplate graft, and the
infiiction Of brutal murder and suffer
ing on the working class, and the sub
merged unfortunates of society, is the
equal Of the atrocities Of the "dark
ages" The Milwaukee railroad is
building in Butte. Their people have
had about 1000 men working between
Butte and Lombard. They collect 81
a month from these men for hospital
dues. II man quits the job, whether
he has worked one day or ten, it
makes no difference; he pays the dol
lar just the same. When he is dis
charged he has no standing at the hos
pital, so if he is taken sick the eoun-
ty has TO take care of him. One de-
plorable case has come TO the surface
in connection with one of the vast
army Of the workers Of the world,
sick, helpless and friendless. He was
feeling bad, quit his job and came to
town, and was taken down with pneu-
monia. He lay four days in the back
end Of a saloon on the floor. The sa-
loon tried to have the county doctor
come down and see him and he re-
fused. The police tried to get a doc
tor and could not. After four days
complaint was made to Alderman Am
brose. He told the informants to get
the county doctor, but he could not
be obtained. Alderman Ambrose then
called up the city doctor, and asked
him as a special favor if he would not
go and see the man. The city physi-
clan did so and sent the sick man to
the sisters hospital, and charged it to
the city. Now the city has no juris-
dietion in a case of this sort, and no
funds for such work; and the state
law is such that the city cannot use
the city funds for an emergency hos
pital. Here is case Of cold, brutal
shirking of duty and humanity by city,
county and corporation.
Alderman Ambrose, the socialist of
course, had another similar case come
under his consideration. A man was
working on the Butte, Anaconda and

y BRUTAL OFFICIAL NEGLECT

Pacific road on the section, and the
road collected so cents a month from
him for sick benefits. He was taken
sick and came to the saloon next to
Ambrose barber shop. On being asked
what was the matter with him he said
he did not know, that he was sick and
was waiting for an order from the
road TO go TO the hospital. He lay
in the saloon eight days before he
got the order, and the yard master of
the Great Northern had to get the
order for him. The saloon keeper sent
him to the hospital, and the mercy hos
pital refused to receive him on an or
der from the b., A. p. road, sending
a telegram to the superintendent that
the man was drunk, which is a lie
that can be proven by fifty men. He
was not drunk. He was sick and dy-
ing, and they turned the man out with
out medical care of any kind. And he
had TO walk back down to the saloon
because he had no place to go, and
he tainted when he reached the saloon
door. Alderman Ambrose took the mat
ter in hand, and went and saw the
agent at the b. A. p. depot. He wired
to the superintendent at Anaconda
and stated the case The superintend-
ent replied that the doctor at the hos
pital said that the man was drunk, and
that settled it. Alderman Ambrose
took the matter up with the county,
but could accomplish nothing. All that
could be done was to arrest the man
for a vag and send him to the county
Jail to have him treated there. Upon
taking him to the Jail it was discov.
cred that he had Bright 3 disease. The
Butte reporter states that there are
hundreds of cases in that city just
like these quoted. The county collects
$4,000 a year on the poor fund. The
county doctor receives $500 a month
and people are dying in saloons, the
only mercy hospital that will give
them a harborage. The Butte papers
refuse to print thing about the facts
Perhaps the working men will get
their eyes open some day and vote in
stead Of die.

The result Of the German Reiehstag
elections has been a disappointment to
the Socialist and surprise to every.
body. We were not alone in expect
ing a socialist victory as a matter of
fact, the correspondents for the capi'
talist papers predicted larger Social
list gains than the Socialist press ven.
tured to expect.
The outcome of the voting on Jan.
25 is that only 29 Social Democrats
were elected to the Reichstag getting
q majority over all in their respective
districts-and that our candidates In
rs other districts, running first or Sec
ond but not getting a clear majority,
will be voted for in the second ballot
to decide between hte two highest in
each district, which will take place
next Tuesday.
In the last preceding election, held
in 1908, we elected So members on first
ballot and entered the second ballot in
l22 districts, carrying 25, so that we
had 81 members in all. In 1898 We
elected So members altogether.
OF the 76 districts in which the So
cialist candidates enter this second
ballot, we face National Liberals in 20
Radicals in %, Conservatives in 10
Cericals in 5, and various parties in
the others.
The latest dispatches show that the
Liberals, Conservatives, Clericals and
some of the Radicals have formed an
agreement TO cast all their influence
together in the second ballot against
the Social Democrats. Our comrades
on the other hand, have decided that
in those districts where a second bal
lot is to be held and the Socialist !;
not one of the two candidates, Social
ist voters should stay at home, except
in cases where Radical is in thu
field and the comrades of the district
may deem IL best 10 support hin
against the reactionary alliance.
This means that the capitalist, land
holding, official, and electoral elements
are more solidly combined against the
Social Democracy than they ever were
before. II also means that we shall
probably have less than 80 members
in the new Reichstag.

The legislature has formed a new
judicial district by cutting Carbon
county of from Park and Sweetgrass,
and uniting it with Yellowstone and
Rosebud. Sidney Fox, young strip.
ling of lawyer from Red Lodge has
been made judge of the new district.
The division has been made solely
with view to the reelection of Judge
Henry in the Sixth judicial district.
Judge Henry's unfriendly attitude to
labor received a severe blow with the
supreme courts decision on the eight
hour law. The large increase in the
socialist and labor vote, and the pull
ing down of the republican majorities
in Park and Carbon counties has af-
fected the business and capitalist in
terests Of this district with consterna-
tion. Henry by his antagonism of the
labor interests has created a bitter op-
position among the working class vote;

recollection under presept conditions
would be a matter of extreme doubt.
The big corporation interests in Park
and Carbon counties look upon il as a
calamity that Henry should be forced
TO the rear, with the extremely un-
pleasant probability looming in the
future Of his place being taken by a
socialist judge. And there is ample
ground for their fears. The working
class of Carbon and Park together
could have put a socialist on the bench
for the next term. But how the ca
