can stand on the roof OF that build

families are huddled together in

Hayes says that he joked Berger
about his optimism, and warned
him that even the suggestion of
such a scheme would seandalize
the wealthy people in that exclu-
Isive Observation-Disclosures Berger's
dream is about to be realized.
The little ones of the humblest
shall be greeted by sunlight and
flowers instead of poverty; skilled
nurses shall be in attendance,
where it frequently occurs there
have been no attendants whatever
but darkness and squalor.
The Schandein mansion is two
and half stories high and has 100
rooms. Magnificent driveways
sweep around it. Trolley cars and
their changing gongs do not dis
.turb it.
It is an ideal place for just such
an institution as the socialists are
going to make 1t - and the only
objection to Berger's plan must
come from the rich people, who
may not like to have hospital in
their section of town.

| WASHINGTON. d. c., Feb. f.
The progressive federation has
evolved a plan to give the Ameri-
can people chance to choose
their next president.
Under the present system the
American people have a chance to
choose merely between a few can
didates-it would be almost true
to say between but two candi-
dates. The bosses of the big par
ties choose two men for president.
One or the other of these will be
elected. The people choose be-
tween the two.
The progressive federation pro-
poses to give the people a chance
not only finally to elect some can
didate-but also to decide what
men shall be candidates.
The plan is to give all progress
siye voters of both major parties
a chance to register their first,
Dental candidate, while at the
same time pledging to vote only
for progressive delegates to con-
ventions-delegates pledged to
vote first, last and all the time
for one or the other of the three
progressives finally settled upon
by the postal ballot as the first,
second and third choice of the
party.
The progressive federation is
made up of men who have been
long on the progressive firing line.
Most of them are editors of pro-
gressive periodicals. George H.
SHIRLEY, president of the Peoples
Rule League of America, is chair
man of the committee that sends
out the announcement calling for
a postal ballot. Here are some of
the other names that appear with
Mr.. Shibley's:

the elections within my party,
unless unavoidably prevented,
and that in 1912 l will vote
only for pledged progressive
delegates who have declared
for first choice, n second
choice and u third choice, for
presidential nominee.
THE widespread use of thi!
preliminary postal ballot, follow
ed by two or mere additional ones
before March |, 1912, is expected
to result in general agreement
as to which three of the progress
sive presidential candidates il
each party should be named at The
primary election. They will b(
named by voting for pledged pro-
gressive candidates for the office
of delegate to the county conven.
tons and to the national conven'
tons.
Thus the state and national
conventions of both the two great
parties can be carried for the pro.
gressive cause. We, the progress.
sives in the United States, who
posses nine-tenths of the votes
can control the state and nation.

parties.

ternity Hospital.
MILWAUKEE, Feb. Believ-
ing hit babies born In happy,
beautiful surroundings are moro
likely to make citizens who will
seek true happiness in high ideals,
than babies born in misery, the
socialist administration of this city
is arranging things so that no
more Milwaukee babies need have
their first look at the great, busy
world distorted by squalor.
The palatial Schandloin mansion
on Grand avenue, long deserted
has been purchased by the city
and is to be turned into a NUM-
cipally conducted maternity hos
pital for the poor mans wife, or
the unfortunate girl.
In this mansion, surrounded by
a full city square of beautiful
lawn, which is dotted artisticaily
with splendid trees, the socialists
expect to demonstrate that as :,
child is born so shall the man Cor
woman) be. The new maternity
hospital is located in the heart OF
the aristocratic section of the city.
Max Hayes, socialist and well
known labor leader of Cleveland,
tells how, a year ago last Labor
day, he was walking the streets
with Berger, seeking inspiration
for an address to be made in the
afternoon. They were approaching
the Schandein mansion and Berger
said to Hayes:

The plan for the postal ballot
is thus outlined in the announce
ment sent out by the committee:
AT the next primary election
within the two great parties the
progressive voters, who comprise
the decided majority of the cleo
torate, will wish to elect really
delegates and pledge
them.
" Heretofore no easily operated
system for doing this has existed.
The difficulty Is that usually the
for delegates to the
county conventions are not
pledged for a national candidate:
or that the pledge is merely for
a favorite son, leaving the final
unpledged as soon as
the first ballot is over. To enable
the voters of 1912 to overcome
these difficulties we propose the
use of preliminary
postal ballot by the progressive
voters, and pledge by them
as the their first, second and
third choices for president in
1912. Together with their ex-
pressions ON presidential candi-
dates, we ask that progressive
citizens forward to the progress
