the party for President OF the United States
The members of the party could hardly believe the
mitch of this kind the last thing expected
when Daniel De Leon placed Preston's name be
fore the convention last week. The nomination was
looked on as clever piece OF work, calculated to
take the wind out of the sails of the SOCIALIST
party by upsetting capastic and socalistsc traoi-
tons. The national executive committee, II was
announced, was preparing to nominate man as
