Yesterday that the national conven-
ton of the SocialistLabor party in
this city had on Sunday nomi-
mated convicted murderer for
president of the United States-one
Preston, now serving a twenty-five
years term in Nevada for his crime.
The controversy that lead up to the
killing was one in which the Socialist
Laborites had taken a hand. and
Preston had been particularly useful
in organizing and maintaining "a
boycott on Goldfeld restaurant
and murder committed in such cause
only glorifies the assassin in he eyes
of the average ST., enthusiast.

announcement of the new ticket is

Leon. a great leader and light in his
party, putting the murderers name
In nomination 1t appears that
Preston is not yet thirty-five years
old-and he might encounter some
difficulty in reaching Washington for
Inauguration even If he were that age
and were by chance to be elected
But that is a trifle within the ST..
conception. Although Preston is
not OF the age provided In the con-
stitution for presidential candidates,
explained the nominator. that
makes no difference TO us. II Is for
the working people 10 elect him, and
