CALLS IT A GREAT BOOST
Socialist Editors Opinion Of Taft's
References to Socialism.

Chicago, June president Taft
has boosted" the Socialist party by
his Michigan addresses OF Friday and
Saturday, directed against 1t, in the
opinion of A. M. Simons, editor Of the
Daily Socialist and national commit

"The most important thing about the
presidents address is that he has pub
licly recognized the existence Of the
great socialist movement" he said.
This Is a great step forward. 1t is
something American statesmen have
overlooked heretofore. 1t has helped
the movement.
The president does not understand
socialism. He does not understand its
cooperative beliefs. He said social
ism stood for the cooperative enjoy.
ment of everything and anything, but
1t stands "only for cooperative owner

used"
