SEES ERROR IN QUOTATION
CONCERNING THE DE6s VOTE

PASADENA, Nov. 17-[Editor Her
add: Why does The Herald, in quot
ing an eastern paper allow it to go
forth in it's columns that the Socialist
vote will probably reach S00,000-yet
will only be a 25 per cent increase?
Seeing the Socialist vote in 1904 was
only 100000 odd, this anticipated 100000
would represent nearly 100 per cent in
crease.
l am sure The Herald would not
wish to quote misleading statements,
