SUN HAS RISEN
FOR SOCIALISM
NOW THIRD STRONGEST PARTY
AND MUST az REckoNED
WITH, SAYS RUSSELL.

NEW YORK. Nov. i0-"Tuesday.s
eltcion marks the turning point In the
history of Socialism in the United
States"
This was the declaration to-day Of
Charles Edward Russell. Socialist au-
thor. magazine writer and late candi~
date for governor OF New York. In
Tuesday's election Russell polled "a
vote heavy enough to lift the Social
lists to the rank Of the third strongest
party In New York.
Until Tuesday" Russell said. So
ciaiism had been hard. uphill bat
tie In the United States. But from
now on. as indicated by Tuesdays re-
turns. II Is going to wage a winning
fight. Hereafter. In every election, the
Socialist vote will have to be rcck :
oned with. Our party is now, In every
State In the Union. with the possible
exception of Vermont. the third strong
est party.
In the returns we received at Tues
days polls could be seen the result Of
two elements that have been working
for US. One was the existing economic
conditions and the other the Changing
political conditions. II was the former.
however, that helped us most.
Heretofore our greatest Difficulty
has been In getting an audience for
Socialism. The average workingman
was fairly prosperous and. had no need
to investigate its claims. Hut with
the increased cost Of living and other
adverse economic conditions he was
forced - seAk rsmedy. and hs found

intelligent forecast or the result re-

tell whether the county vote--usually
largr-~ean overcome that cast In the
cities. especially as for some reason
the Republicans voted largely In Ia
vor OF the amendments even in the
counties. thus cutting down the ma
jori,ies.
II is consequently believed that with
only unofficial figures at hand the
amendments extending the term Of
the Legislature and affecting the
reading Of bills We're killed, and that

commissioners. nave a slight chance,
though II passed at all by "A very slim
majority.
Lieut.. Gov. Ellyson. chairman of the
State central Democratic committee,
Thursday morning explained why the
vote on the amendments had not
been announced when the results of
the congressional contests were made
known.
In almost every precinct. even
whore everything was Democratic, the
issue was Democrats against Repub-
lfcans. and particularly was this true
In the mountainous sections or the
! State where the Republicans are
stronger.
consequently when the votes were
counted, they were counted with the
view Of ascertaining the congressional
result. and when this was given OUT

The fate Of the amendments will
soon be known. however. for the To-
cal boards are now busy. and sup-
