THE INCREASING
SOCIALIST VOTE

The fact that the socialist vote
in the United States is incre asing
makes itself m anifest at every
election of general Importance.
And so we find this vote one of
the noteworthy features of last
Tuesdays balloting.
In Schenectady,N. Y, the social
lists elected a mayor and all but
one of the city officers, together
with a majority of the county
board of supervisors.
Ia Columbus, Ohio, the socialist
indicate for mayor practically
tied the republican candidate for
second place the democrat being
the winner. A number of socialist
members of council were elected
in Columbus. Dayton md other
large Ohio cities, while socialist
mayors were returned in eight of
the smaller cities.
Beside the victory in Schcn-
ectady. the socialists developed
remarkable strength throughout
New York state, and made sur
prising showing in Mississippi.
Unquestionably the aggregate
socialist vote has scored another
tremendous advance.
Socialism first appeared in
national politics il 1892 the
time of Cleveland second election
being represented by the
socialist-labor party. and polling
Fl, l64 votes. At the next election
it received "6,274 votes. In 1900
there were two socialist parties in
the field--the socialist democrats,
who received 1854 votes, and
the labor socialists. who got &c.
439.
In 1904 the present socialist
party polled 402.2 83 vDtes, which
it increased in 1908 to 42O, 1893.
The great trouble about social
ism is that it is the embodiment
Of grievance, but it is not vet
certain in its own mind how that
grievance should be rcmedied. In
the meantime it is gathering fol-
lowers who vote their protest
against existing conditions, if
nothing else.
Socialism is certainly a force to
be dealt with in our political life.
We recommend the fact of its
growing strength to the conside1a-
ton of thoughtful citizens every
where. Atlanta Georgian.

BUYING uNO

MIR. H. M. Mccartney, the
genial land agent for the Southern
Pacific Railway company, was
circulating around town Tuesday.
Mr.. Mccartney is in charge of the
sales department Of the company
and has bren in Wells and Deeth
the past two weeks. While here.
he hunted up MIR. Mcclellan, to
confer with him over the Mary's
River and Tecoma Valley irriga-
ton project under the Carey Act,
and gave him the very gratifying
news that all the railroad lands
under the Mary's River irrigation
system that were put upon the
market by the company had been
brought by parties who were in
Wells, looking for land to settle
upon. Those parties came to Wells
to locate lands of the Pacific
Reclamation company. but were
disappointed in not finding what
they wanted there and VIII en- they
found out the Railway company
was selling its land under the pro-
ject of the Carey Act Reclamation
Association, as Mr.. Mccartney said
they almost fell over themselves
to secure it," AS the men buying
are all intending settlers, and none
buying over one section apiece il
means that the irrigation com pany
will have settlers upon part of the
land ready for water to be deli
vered as soon as the works are
con structcd.

INTEREST keen IN
POTASH LANDS

George Manson. ranchman living
on Currant creek, about ID miles
from the potash fields in Railroad
vall'y, was in Ely on business this
week. Mr.. Manson states that a
lively interest is being taken in
the development of the potash
fields by Tonopah and Goldfeld
people and that many locations
have been made in the interest If
San Francisco and Los Angeles
parties. 1t is reported that Hof-
meister. the SAL Francisco million
aire banker, has with his associates,
secured title to three quarter-sec.
tions of the potash lands.
The ground which is being taken
up is apparently the bed of an an
cient lake and comprises a terri
tory approximately seven miles long
by two and half miles wide, prac-
tically all of which has been lucat-
ed in l60--acre tracts u..der the
placer claim law.
A chemist from the government
experiment station at Fallon was
recently on the ground and after
making examinations and analyses,
stated that the surface indications
were not unlike those of the
famous German fields from which
the worlds supply is now largely
drawn. 1t is perhaps on this
agents report that Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson made his
recent assertion that potash had
been fonud in this coun try.
Preparations are now being
made to prospect at depth by means
of churn drill to see if deposits
of commercial purity underlie the
field. III this churn drilling is sue.
cessful, the erection of surface
works for the treatment Of the
product will speedily follow and a
great new industry will soon be
developed.
Secretary Wilson's assertion that
potash has been found in this
country has excited considerable
interest in the east and in the
course of an article on the subject
tie Boston NaWs Bureau has tna
following t. say in regard to
prices:
1T is estimated by competent
authorities that German potash
mines can produce muriate of pot
ash for between So ard $40 per
ton. The German syndicate pays
thu freight to New York which is
bout SIS per ton. That makes n
total cost # SIS per ton at the out
side. The syndicate gets $50 per
ton for this potash laid down in
New York, profit Of over 100 per
cent. If an American mine could

have to meet a $40 per ton freight
