PARCEL POST COMPETITION

Nobody wants t. put the express companies ut OF uslnea The
public will be very much pleased ii they continue n existence as con-
pcitors If the parcel post, rendering adequate public service at reaon-
able rates. There are many avenues for business still open to the
express con1Hnic. that they can handle to better advantage than the
government al and il is refreshing to see that at least n company
has awakened to the possibility and started to develop what ought 20
be a profitable rev field of activity.
The Adams Express company has organized an "Ordcr and Food
Products Burcau' and in tine collection and distribution of farm prod
uUs is already rrovng a strong competitor of the parcel post. Its agent
in the cuc, where the system is underway have been ordered Ito collect
butter. egg. chickens. vegetables, irunI,, etc." from the farming dis
trcts and send them to the nearest city at rates equal t" or below
those OF the parcel post. The supplies are unloadcd at the express offices
and dealers can come and buy or housewives Ia get them. and the net
proceeds are rcmitted to the producers. The company is prepared to fiji
regular orders for customer, and has planned to carry the business 70
a length not as vet contemplated by the pStphice department.
We see no reason why the inn5vaU"n should not be a good thing
for all Concerned. The new business ought to more than offset the
loss Of business the parcel post entanel: it sinplhes the marketlG
problem for the producers. and it ought to result in a substantial saving
to the consumers. 1t is a much more sensible and admirable way t'T
the express companies to hight the endorsements of the parcel post
ian the old method OF lobbying and pulling congressional wires to sill
or restrict the government system. The old plan was fore-doomcl L"
failure. but the new will have the hearty approval and cooperation
of the public.

A REST IN BIG SHIP BUILDING

The troubles OF the Vatcrland in entering and leaving this port
lend added interest to the reports from the other side that the building
Of big ships is likely to halt for a while. The Naterland is $50 feet
long, and it is freely predicted that ten years will elapse before the
lOOfoot ship is a reality.
There has been a marvellous development in the last quarter OF a
century. From the City OF Paris, of 10000 tons, to the Natrland, IF
$4,000 tons is almost unbelievable. \ continued progress at the sal

SOCIALISTS OF OKLAHOMA
ELECT TWO STATE
SENATORS

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Nov. g.
The Socialists have elected at least
two state senators and one represent
tative, and the Socialist vote is in
creasing as the returns come in.
At present it is dead heat between
the republican, democratic and So
cialist candidates for governor and an
official count will be necessary before
the result will be known.
There is still a chance that later re-
turns will elect one Socialist congress
man. Hundreds of township and
county officials have been elected.
The Daily Oklahoman, that has per-
sistently suppressed all mention of the
Socialists during the campaign, says
of the result;
''The Socialists polled heavy vote
in all southern counties of the state
and in a number of cases ran ahead
of the republican ticket.
ain one or two western counties the
Socialist candidate for governor, Fred
w. Holt, received more votes than
either Fields or Williams" The two
latter were the republican and demo-
cratic candidates.

Winfield r. Gaylord, for congress,
lost his district by the narrow margin
of 500 votes. Victor l.. Berger lost
by the smaller margain of 200 The
fight against the two Socialist con-
gressional candidates was unusually
bitter.
The fact that the Socialists have
gained back the two most important
county offices over desperate opposi-
ton gives the party the greatest cause
for evidence of the solid growth of
the movement in Milwaukee county.
The district attorney-elect held the
office during the term that expired
two years ago. He was elected when
the Socialists first captured the coun-
ty four years ago. His fine record
gave his opponents no chance to cam
paign against him on any other issue
than Socialism.
Edmund T. Melms, the sheriff-elect,
has been county organizer for years,
and is responsible, as much as any
individual, for the splendid organiza-
ton in Milwaukee.

BERGER SAYS NATION
is REACTIONS VICTIM

MILWAUKEE, Nov. 5.-Victor l..
Berger, former Socialist congressman,
who was defeated for that office in
the election on Tuesday. made the fol
lowing statement today:
There was a wave of reaction and
darkness spreading over the entire
country.
Whether the human race is sick
on account of the worlds war-which
is having its effect on the people of
the United States-or whether CAPT
talism and expansion must run it's full
course before it is finally abolished,
do not know.
st may be said that the daily press,
more than any other single agency,
must be held responsible for the blind
actions of the voters. The daily press
methodically misrepresents, lies and
blindfolds.
''In Milwaukee, the Socialists held
their own and no more. w. r. Gay
lord, in whose district there was a
three-cornered fight, came near an
election, and was defeated by less
than 300 votes
81 was hit hard by a combination
of the democrats and republicans.
During the last week the democrat
was dropped by the non-partisan
committee and all voters which that
committee could control were trans
ferred to Stafford to defeat mel
seem to be the particular object Of
capitalistic fear.
THE Social-Democrats of Milwau-
kee have elected eight assemblymen
and a state senator, besides electing
the sheriff and the district attorney.
$50 much is clear-a great deal of
agitation, education and organization
must be done during the next two
years"

FIRST WOMAN SOCIALIST
WINS IN CALIFORNIA

Comrade Estelle Lawton Lindsey, of
Los Angeles, will represent the Sixty
first district in the next California
legislature.
T. w, Williams, state secretary
writes from Los Angeles:
Mrs. Lindsey is the first Socialist
woman legislator ever elected. She is
a newspaper writer and former writer
of the Cynthia Grey" column in the
Los Angeles Record and other Scripps
papers.
Kingsley was elected two years ago,
and during his term introduced scores
of bills, among them the eight-hour
bill. Following the introduction of
this bill the eight-hour agitation CON
tinued until universal eight-hour
bill was placed on the ballot in the
election just passed.
The eight-hour bill was the most
bitterly contested measure in the cleo
ton. 1t was defeated 2 to 1, however.
The Socialists, it's most militant cham
pions, lacked publicity avenues to
make the right a winning one, but
they consider the result a credit to
their work, even though the bill did
not become a law
The Socialist vote, with incomplete
returns at hand, is certain to be phe-
nomenal, though the head of the
ticket ran far behind, due to the fact
that Hiram W. Johnson had the trade
union Endorsement. Socialists are
elated by the heavy vote.
