IF the republican party had done

Lorimer would have been impossible. .

The socialist party is the only po-

Both old parties are shot to pieces.
The best OF their politicians are try

REER

Alfred Hiles Bergen, baritone, is
native-born American who has had
a decidedly meteoric career He has
studied with some of the greatest
American vocal teachers and has
done special work in German lieder
with George Henschel of London.
His repertoire comprises some nine
hundred songs and several oratoros.
If we are to judge by the COMPARE

great artists as DR. Ludwick Wull-
