Jubilant Democrats now refer, sar castically to "Armageddon, and the battle there Armageddon has not been located at any particular time or place. From time immemorial there has been an Armageddon and battle has been waging there It shall go on until the right shall triumph. The bat tie can not be ended by one election day, or by many election days There can be no set time for the cessation of hostilities. They will proceed un til all matters in dispute between right and wrong have been settled and set tied right.
 St. John the Divine, in his his al fusion to Armageddon, may have hat in mind either Megiddo or Esdraelon, both famous fields where men strug gled for physical supremacy, now the tight winning and now the wrong. But in the end the right shall be crowned a. Armageddon.

THE SOCIALIST VOTE

The Boston News Bureau; which is close to the financial interests and the stock market of New England, has been doing some close figuring as to the total vote of the Socialists secured in the recent election. The figures made public by the Boston News Bureau cannot fail to prove of interest to the Yuma Socialists who may not quite agree, however, with the con- clusions reached by that publication.
 Says the Boston News Bureau:
 The other minor development carry ing a future potency is the vote cast by the Socialists. Here there is lack ing the almost positive assureance of growth displayed by woman suffrage; Socialism's future capacity for an eA pansion that shall alter political status or control is a debatable matter. But of considerable recent growth there is no question.
 Its measurement is confined wholly to popular vote. Eight years ago it's perennial candidate, MT. Debs, mus tered 4O2,0OO, tripling his count of 1900. In 1908, however, his vote in- creased only to 42O,OO0, or but 4 pel cent; perhaps Mr. Bryan was too great a counter attraction. But after this Hull, the party has in 1912 more than doubled it's total of 1908, polling a new indicated vote of 9S0,O0O, or close to the million mark predicted by it's lead CTS.
 The Socialist vote in ten representa- tive states shows this year an indi- cated gain of 133 per cent, and for these ten states it equals the totai vote attained throughout the country in 1908:

presidential election of 1852, when Scott, the Whig nominee, carried but four states.
 The old Whig party, be it said, had never any such hold as the modern Republican party. That makes the col lapse of the latter by contrast the more pregnant and surprising. The Whigs had hopes to the last The Republicans can have none. But yes terday they made bold to stand up against the world. Today there is none so poor to do them reverence. With it's armor on, instinct with lie, it's lines of battle, it's flags and tro- phies yet visible, the G. O. P. sinks as some great wall of stone and iron be- fore a tornado into heap of shapeless ruin. It will never rise again.-Henry Watterson in the Louisville Courier Journal.

THE PROGRESSIVE PARTY NOW
 ON A SOLID FOUNDATION

The returns of the election, though incomplete and subject to official re- visions which may make many import ant changes, prove one thing with absolute conclusiveness-tha the Pro- gressive party, in thirty-five states, is now either the first or second party, while the organization which sup ported MT. Taft at the polls is rele- gated to the third position.
 What is the practical meaning Of this fact? Simply that the Progress sive party has now put down solid foundation upon which it can build, securely and triumphantly, for the flu ture. It means a solid, legalized eX- istence, and leading, fighting chance for the party in the future.
 If the Progressive party had such a legalized existence in the late cam- paign, it would have boiled last Tues day a vote which would have vastly exceeded the vote that it did cast though this vote, founded upon great ideal, a great principle, has astonish- ed the politicians and aroused the en' tire country.
 The four and one-half million who cast their vote for Col. Roosevelt. went to the polls on their own in itiative-on their own inner impulse, and out of pure enthusiasm for great cause Having accomplished this great beginning, it now devolves upon the supporters of Progressive principles to perfect their organization, to as semble and put into effective action their political artillery, and to turn a solid front to the enemy, with an intense determination to convert the moral victory of this election into the practical victories of the future.
 This the Progressives can certainly do. They have had all the enthusiasm in this election. What they want now, and what they will have, is an eff fective organization based upon the practical advantage, the working posi- tion, that they have gained in all these states of the Union.
 The Progressive party is no Tor asking for recognition. It has got it.. It will build on it, and will win. But the duty of hard, solid, constructive work devolves on every member of the party who believes in the principles he has voted for.-New York Evening Mail

BOOSTER MARCHING SONG

At the Progressive jollification din ner at Phoenix, last Wednesday, the following booster song was introduced and sung by all the guests to the tune 0f Marching Through Georgia: Fill another bumper; let's have a
 booster song; Sing to the Progressives, and help the
 world along; All join in together with chorus loud
 and long,
 While we are marching to victory. Hurrah. Hurrah! Just watch our party
 grow; Hurrah! Hurrah! Just watch us make
 it go; We'll have a great new party, whose
 progress won't be slow, While we are marching to victory. AriZona's a dandy state state-the fin
 est place on earth; You bet your bottom dollar we'll boost
 for all we're worth. When the Progressives get in, pros
 perity will have no dearth, While we are marching to victory. Hurrah! Hurrah, Aren't you glad
 you're here? Hurrah! Hurrah, They come from fal
 and near, While the Bull Moosers join in the
 chorus loud and clear, While we are marching to victory. Now the thing for us to do is work
 with might and main; See that everybody knows and gets
 our message plain When they understand that we arc
 working for their gain, Then we'll go marching to victory. Hurrahl Hurrah! We're mighty glad
 we came. Hurrah! Hurrah! Progressive is our
 name! With this great, new party plutocracy
 we'll tame,
 And go marching to victory.

CONSIDERED A CLASSIC

President Taft put over about the cheeriest, breeziest Thanksgiving Day proclamation this year that has hap, pened in quite a while The document came out a couple of days after cleo tion, and the Capital City people won- dered at first what the president was so gay about. Finally, it dawned on them to consider it solely in the light of literary classic, without reference to the things which happened on the fifth instant.

THE SCIENCE OF LISTENING

President-elect Wilson is not letting the public into his confidence, and has caused it to be known that, for time, he will continue to listen to sug
 gestions from all sources. Perhaps, the whole country is more or less di- vided in opinion as to what ought to be the course of the party coming into power, but in the Capital City, if one is to accurately measure con- flicting views regarding the available gentlemen who should have the cab inet portfolios, the ambassadorships and the thousands of other lesser posi- tions, then indeed must be a listener

 In Pennsylvania, once the keystone of Republicanism, the Socialists made l their most notable accessions, perhaps reflecting the recent change to a moro cosmopolitan makeup of that state'F electorate In at least two Pennsyl- vania counties the Socialist vote toppei that of the old-line Republicans. Tho Socialist leaders acknowledge retro gression in only two states, Massachu- 5etts and Oklahoma. Both of these instances are significant, especially that of Massachusetts in view of th> recent intimate acquaintance forced npon it with one extremist type O.. lnti-capitalistic agitation.
 A minor party that can command in this country a million votes, or one seventeenth of the total, might super sicially be considered something of 9 political factor, and, in view of it's ten cts, disquieting one. There are however, some distinct and encourag ng qualifications
 One is, of course, the character of he electoral mechanism. Another is he conspicuous fact that after hay ng boiled more votes than ever before, the Socialist party has actually elect ed fewer candidates. It has lost its one congressman, and also control oi ! few communities. It has, in thi year's miXup of party conflicts, suf cred from it's own diffusion. In tht solated sections where it's strengtl has been at all concentrated, it ha' naturally drawn against itself a more jr less non-partisan opposition from all sides. It's voting strength is toe ;catered-and promises long to remain so-to yield results in action
 Then there is the almost inevitable diffusion of sentiment. Dissension within the party upon abstract be. iiefs, even more pronounced when ii comes to translating these into action las been a consistent sequel in Europe Oisagreements in this country have happened quite as naturally. Socialism nay complain that some of the capi talistic parties, especially the newest one, have stolen much of their thun- Ter; but it cannot itself present a suf ficiently definite and harmonious front to make likely any immediate andslide in it's direction.
 It has grown, indeed, but only to re feal more clearly how scattered it is both physically and mentally, in place md in thought.

Arrogant special privilege and heed less, ruthless BoSsism learned a lesson that was worth while to teach.
 Stolen nominations will not be priz- ed so much hereafter. It is one thing to run a steam roller over a lot of helpless delegates after binding them to the floor of a Barnes-Penrose-Gug genheim convention. It is another thing to run a steam-rOller over anti Taft presidential electors at the polls they do not flatten out-New York Press.

AN EXTRA SESSION?

Will there be an extra session? This is the season for rabbits in Mary land, and guesses in Washington, D. C., and the question propounded is vital.
 When MT. Cleveland came to the White House he deferred an extra ses- sion until the following August. The Democrats ever afterward declared that in the delay he made mistake, and they insist on an extra session along about March 4. It is safe guess to say that the extra session will be pulled off, because the Demo crats are anxious to "get at things" ,"

THE FIGHT HAS JUST BEGUN

The first general engagement of the struggle between PROGRESSIVELY and dREACTIONARISM is-eyer.
 But the FIGHTING has just BE- GUN.
 The ISSUES upon which the PRO- GRESSIVE PARTY made the fight this year are FUNDAMENTAL, they reach down to the bedrock of POPU- LAR GOVERNMENT. With WILSON in the White House they will go on precisely as they would have gone on if ROOSEVELT had been the victor.
 With the returns all in, the PRO- GRESSIVE PARTY is shown to be the party of OPPOSITION As a national organization, the Republican party dis appears The pitifully small showing made by the Taft ticket relegates that once powerful political organization to the rear. The FIGHTING on the floor of Congress will be carried on by the PROGRESSIVES. The standards in the battle for the coming four years will be borne by the PROGRESSIVE leaders.
 The things for which the PROGRESS STVE PARTY contends are as SURE TO WIN as this nation is to endure. Indeed the nation will not endure if, in the long run, the reforms the PRO- GRESSIVES now champion, are not achieved.
 PROGRESSIVES everywhere may well take heart from the result of the first fight in which they have engaged. The FUTURE of the party is assured. Its following cannot fail to increase and its ultimate success may be count ed as SURE because its CAUSE is righteous and is founded upon prin- ciples which MUST and WILL prevail. Manchester (N. H.)
