PREDICTS TWO MILLION
VOTES FOR SOCIALISTS
Reviewing Old Parties, Berger
Says He Has No Reason
to Change Views.

Victor Berger. socialist representative
in Congress from Milwaukee. clings 10
his estimate Of two million socialist votes
at the November election. and In an
interview gives his reasons for believing
the socialists will poll this vote.
Representative Berger holds that both
old parties have become practically the
same in principle. but that differences
amounting to sharp cleavages exist within
each Of the parties. That the platforms
of the republican and democratic parties,
adopted at the Chicago and the Baltimore
conventions might easily be exchanged
is one of the illustrations he uses to
show the close approach Of the two
parties at the present time.
President Taft he characterizes as a
conservative gentleman. with a judicial
temperament and practically no eXecu-
tive ability-a man to whom the repub-
lican party is a fetish. The republican
party. he says, always has been the favor
tie organization of capitalism, and Presi-
dent Taft simply wishes the party to full
fill its mission.
Doubt as to Roosevelt.
1.-THE opposition in the republican par
ty,' says Representative Berger, rs rep
resented by former President Theodore
Roosevelt. Where Mr.. Roosevelt stands
on all the great questions of the day no.
body seems to know. l doubt whether
Mr.. Roosevelt himself knows. because.
with his brilliant but very erratic mind
he may revise and change all of his prin-
ciples and convictions by tomorrow after
noon. At this time 1t does not appear
that he will play much OF a part IL he
does rum unless he is satisfied to be the
moi n find 0f Mont ion hat
on its way to nowhere in particular"
He criticises Gov. Wilson. citing past
writings and utterances OF the democratic
nominee and saying these will be brought
up to plague him during the campaign.
He says the nomination Of the SCHOOL
master candidate" was brought about by
the cooperation OF Roger Sullivan Of II
linois. Tom Taggart Of Indiana and Boss
Murphy of New York, aided by John r..
Mclean and Hearst and his papers. and
that with such a following Gov Wilson
is bound to find his candidacy badly
handicapped. although he believes the de-
sire of the average citizen for a change
will work to the benefit Of the democratic
candidate.
Sees Gain for Party.
THE party that is bound to gain from
this evident disintegration and deteriora-
ton of both of the capitalist parties. :
says Representative Berger. rs the
political expression Of the working class.
the socialist party. 1t is the only political
organization that seems to have a posi-
tive goal. 1t Is the only party that is in
accord with the economic trend of the
times. 1t is the only party that attracts
not only the intelligent workingmen but
also the student Of political and economic
conditions of all walks of life. Under
such circumstances there is nothing that

LAKE CHARLES. La, July S.-Bitter-
ness between Louisiana lumber mill oper-
ators and non-union workmen on one
side and union men on the other that re-
suited in a battle with a death roll of
four yesterday at Grabow. was reflect

war. William Haywood of Denver, act

semi-monthly pay day. Yesterdays battle
was precipitated when union men from
De Ridder attempted to have a meeting
in Grabow.
James CreeL editor of socialist paper
in St. Louis, arrived in Lake Charles

"Burgoo" on Native Heath.

In the neighborhood of Vincennes it is
said that the burgoo stands on its native
heath. Kentucky barbecue artists claim
they have the burgoo par excellence, but
the Hoosiers hold up their hands in hor-
ror, because in the blue grass belt they
put squash and young ''simlins'' into the
pot.
The country representatives are longing
for their wide districts. and the. city men
are beginning to feel the time is near to
get back home and give few free picnics
up the river for the babies Of their dis
tricts. They want to head the free ice
fund, and see the boys again. They
want to mend their fences. In other
words, the time is come to stop this fool
ishness about making laws and investi-
eating trusts.
