BRANSFORD Is FAVORED

Official denial WAS made Yesterday by
the Socialist party to the statement at
tributcd to Murray J.. King. Proml-
nent Socialist. and printed III INC organ
of thc federal bunch TO the effect that
the Socialists would support the Park
ticket ut the coming election. Inc dc,
NAL comes in the form of signed
statement issued from the Socialist
eadquartcrs.
This settlement not only denies that
the Park ticket viii receive the support
of the Socialist ticket, but declares that
fhc members Of the Socialist party are
bitterly opposed to Park and ms Ticket
As "A marty, the Socialists Will support
neither the American nor the Citizens
ticket As individuals they VIII vote
for Mayor John S. Bransford aud a
majority Of the American ticket, MS
is made clear In the following state
mcnt.
"Thc Socialists will soon hold q con.
vcntiou at which time the question OK
which candidate will be supported VIII
be discussed, hut | eau assure YOU tnat
neither ticket will be given Soeiallstic
party support. as our platform aosoi'lte'
" forbids such a move,
"Thc members of the Socialist party
are bitterly opposed 10 Park and his
ticket. The record Of Park is such that
no Socialist or union laborer can NoIc
for him. Park is colonel of tho national
guard aud Socialist has no use for the
military in any form. He not only
voted against the eight hour law, but
worked to defeat the same. HIS atti'
tude toward union labor has always
been against the workers and nc is
being Judged by his past record.
HSpeaking as an individual mcmbcr
Of the marty. If the members as Indlvld"
uals should east their vote tor either
candidate. Bransford Is the most wor-
thy. His record during the trouble be
tween fhc police and Socialist speakers
shows that The city council, OF which lie
is the head, stopped the police from IN
tertcring with our speakers and tney
have cniovod the privilege OF speaking
on the streets from that time to the
present.
1.-The statement attributed 10 Murray
i. King, who is quoted in the Herald
Republican this morning as SAYING The
Bransford ticket would not receive q
single sociaistic vote, is not correct,
What nc did say WIS that neither ticket
would receive the support OF the Social
lists ms a party, which is correct.
''Chc Socialist party has increased
It's membership by an honest, straight
forward, businesslike manner and do
not intend TO lose what they have
gained by underhanded work of any
description. We stand for tho primer,
pies of socialism as set down III our
national and city platform.
"Henry w. Lawrence will receive the
full support Of the Socialist PARTY by
every Socialist casting his vote fol
him, but he is the only man on the
Park ticket that will receive the party
support and in the main part of the In
dividuals also. If all Socialists are true
to their party they cannot cast a single
vote for any other member Of the Park
ticket. D. b, DAVIS,
Financial Secretary Socialist party OF
