CHICAGO SOCIALISTS
GREET MAYOR SE|DEL

CHICAGO, June 19.-The greatest
crowd that ever attended a Socialist po-
litical meeting in Chicago today greet
ed Emil Seidel, Socialist mayor of Mil
waukee It is estimated there We're
5000 persons at the gathering, which
was held at a north side amusement
park.
The meeting originally had been
called for the purpose of raising money
for the Socialist press of Chicago. but
resolved itself into an official opening
of the Socialist campaign for the fall
elections.
Several thousand dollars were raised
for the eight Socialist newspapers pub
lished here in as many different Ian
guages.
OF all the speeches Mayor Seidel's
was the mildest. The Chicago leaders
were bitter in their attacks upon prom
inent politicians of the old parties.
They arraigned Senator Lorimer, Lee
ONeil Browne the legislative minority
leader now on trial charged with
bribery in connection with the election
of Senator Lorimer; Mayor Busse and
States Attorney Wayman. The recent
scandals in high official life were
pointed to as evidence that the time
was at hand for the sweeping of both
old parties out of office at the fall
elections.
The slogan of all the speeches was
MAKE Chicago a Socialist city like
Milwaukee"
AGAINST COMMISSIONER
Mayor Seidel pointed the way for
the Chicago Socialists in his speech on
How Workingmen Govern a city"
He termed the commission form of gov
ernment a "plutocratic plan for keep
ing plutocrats in power"
In giving the Chicago Socialists some
practical advice on how to carry on
their plan y as to win next fall, May
or Seidel -:
1T is not Nsential that the workers
he instructed in Socialism. Socialism
is a phase of civilization, growth
anyway Talk to the people in their
own language, not in isms and ologies,
Show the people that the reason there
are houlevards in front of the homes
of the rich because the rich furnish
graft for the politicians and the poll
ticians furnish the boulevards in re-
turn"

night they had abandoned these
propositions before the onslaught
our speakers and our editors made.
We had the record all on our side-a
clean and honest record, that attract
ed thoughtful attention, careful
perusal and finally the approval OF
the public.
Now. They have no issue of state
wide Importance to stand on, and
their only hope lies in an unaccount-
ed for question that the Republi-
cans are sore and are going TO turn
out their congressional representa-
tiyes, and turn the. legislature over
to the Democratic party. That Is
where they will fall down. The Re
publicans of West Virginia are going
to do nothing of the kind. The Dem-
ocrats have nothing to offer them.
When a fellow comes to you and
wants to trade with you, it best to
ask him first what he has to offer.
Besides, II there are any quarrels In
the Republican household we are
able to settle them ourselves with
out calling in Bill Chiffon and John.
McGraw, Democrats, to settle them.
There is nothing so seriously wrong
in the Republican organization but
what it can settle itself without out

Republican victory in West vir-
gfnia next month have frightened
fifty per cent. over what they were
ten days or two weeks ago. The
truth Of the matter is that each day
of the present campaign has seen the
Republican chances grow substantl-
ally better. The same cannot be-
truthfully said OF Democratic
chances. Their prospects were
brighter at the opening of the cam
paign than they have ever been
since. They have grown less and
less bright each day, because of al
lack OF issues as we'll as a lack oil
organization. The Republican man
ayers do not deny that they ex'
pect the enemy to make some gains,
but as for carrying the legislature
and a chance of electing. perhaps
one congressman, they concede moth
ing further.
There is no issue OF statewide
paramount for which, or against
which, the Democrats are contend
.ng. Each local issue is being treat
ed directly as 1t seems best. Tariff,
taxation and state administration ex-
travagance have been rabooed by the
Democratic managers, spellbinders
and editors. But they are hopeful
3asing their hope on Republican dis
| affection In certain localities they
| argue that they will profit by wet
and dry fight, but in others they adj
nit they will lose by reason OF that
proposition. In several districts they
aaye been reduced TO the pathetic
condition of trying to get the voters
to overtop the legislative govern
ment because OF the dog law or the
game law. This is a fair sample OF
tho dire straits to which they have
lccn reduced, by one of the finest
ought campaigns that the dominant
party has ever managed in this state.
State Chairman Matthews. in a
.alk with your correspondent today
declared his absolute sureness of a
Republican victory. I'VE have
waged a short, sharp campaign, and
1t will result in decisive victory for
our party. We have appealed firs
and at all times to the intelligence
Of the voters. In no campaign. with
in my recollection, has there been 81
much material laid before tn,

Girl KILLS SNAKE
WITH Riding CROP
Serpent CoiIed in Trail Attempts
to Spring on Miss Bessie
Ashton

Miss Bessie Ashton is the heroine of
the latest snake story, word reaching
this city from the Yosemite yesterday
that she defended herself against a
rattlesnake on Saturday afternoon and,
after a short. sharp encounter. sue
ceeded in killing it with her riding
crop.
Miss Ashton, who is the second
daughter of Mrs. George F. Ashton,
is spending a few weeks in the valley
with her cousins, Mrs. William r:
Smedburg and Miss Cora Smedburg and
a party of friends. The Smedburgs
are camping for the summer and 1t was
not hundred yards distant from their
camp that Miss Ashton, on returning 6
from horseback trip, came across the
reptile coiled in her path. Miss Ash
ton was walking and leading her horse,
and she nearly stepped on the snake
without seeing it. She jumped hastily
back as she heard the warning rattle
and caught brief vision of the snake
coiled to spring. The only weapon of
defense at hand was the small silver
and she used it vigorously. The strug-
lengthy.
Miss Ashton came off victorious, and
when she reached camp and told her
story an incredulous little party started
out to see. One ambitious youth the
following day presented her with the
skin and six ratt1es as a souvenir of
one of the really thrilling incidents of
her summer outing.

GIRLS SLAYER IS
DOWNCAST At trial
Murderer OF Belle OF Butcher
town" Sits in Court With
Head Buried in Arms

George Besser, the longshoreman ac-
cused of the murder of Elsinor Fieber,
1.-The belle of Butchertown, sat yester-
day in Judge Dunne's court with his
head buried in his arms, the picture of
misery and detection, while testimony
connecting him with the crime was in
troduced- According to the evidence
Besser loved the girl and shot her be-
cause she would have nothing to do
with him. He murdered Miss Fieber at
her home, 81 Dore street. the evening
of January 29 in the presence of her
brother, William Fieber. and John
Dougherty, a former deputy sheriff.
Elsinor Ffeber was in front of
looking glass dressing her hair for
dance when Besser entered. According
to the testimony of Fieber, which was
substantially corroborated by Dough
erty, she turned to Dougherty and said:
What do you think of this fellow.
Jack? He said this morning he would
slaughter you and me and Lena Smith
if / would not have him.
We'll, Else" calculated Besser. And
without another word he drew his re-
volver and fired three shots at the girl,
killing her.
Lena Smith testified that early the
morning of the shooting Besser entered
her room in Valencia street, where FL
sinor Fieber had slept the night before,
and, after hitting his victim in the face
with his fist, said that if she would not
marry him he would kill her, Lena
Smith and DoA gherty. He repeated the
threat later.
There was considerable sparring dur
ing the trial between District Attorney
McNutt and Hugh O'Neill who is con-
Quoting the defense.
Now I shall go into the bathtub,
said O'Neill at one stage. referring to
the subject upon which he was about to
cross examine a witness.
1T wouldn't hurt you bit" inter-
posed .McNutt.
O'Neill was deeply angered by this
remark. and assigning it as error, asked
the protection of the court Judge
Dunno suggested the lawyers better
settle the matter in the corridor.
