THE SOCIALIST VOTE.

The first presidential prediction has been made It emanates from the presidential nominee for the 1916 campaign Allan L. Benson of Yonkers, N. Y, the Socialist candidate confidently that he will receive 100000 votes next November
 That would be 100000 votes than the Socialist party president would be greater
 gain proportonatey, however than that of last cleo tion Eugene " Debs after receiving 42OOOO votes in 19O made jump of than 100 per cent in 1912, and got 9O1 OOOO votes out of about 15OOO,0OO cast.
 But there is subject of political speculation more du- swept the Socialists from their mOorngs. MT Ben professes believe that he will poll big vote by way popular protest against Socialism, he insists is going establish the rule of kndliness in pub lie international affairs yet this is precisely where the Socialists Europe have fallen down since the war began. Nearly all of them to be fighting supporting their countrys military policy willingly The new internatIonaism" and "the brotherhood of man" have lost their power party slogans Even some of big armament.
 The Socialists in fact, have shown in time of crisis that they are and super humanar ians but human beings very much like other As organizations Europe shot pieces the Socialist party in America gives convincing sign of strength.

We told sometimes that there is little real patriot the United Native citizens accused of selfshness and newcomers of indifference. Some

REPAIRING THEIR BLOCK
Odd Fellows To Remodel The Front
And Put In New Heating System

Odd Fellows To Remodel The Front
And Put In New Heating System
The most important change which
has been made on Railroad street for
some time is the change now under
way on the Odd Fellows block. Not
only has an expensive and complete
heating system been installed for the
whole building but the front of the
store is to be entirely remodelled. The
heating system is known as the vapor
heating system and is the very latest
word in heating. An engineer from
Boston has charge of the work for
which the c. H. Goss Co., has the con-
tract. The front of the stores will be
improved by having the entrance
from doors at each side instead of in
the center. The stone work will be
removed and entrance to the base
ment will be through iron doors. The
new front will be level with the street
as are the other stores on the street,
there being only one step to the door
which will be allowed. A fine new VEN
tilating system will be installed and
both stores, the one occupied by H. J..
Goodrich and the one TO be occupied
by Charles Locke will be redecorated.
A. L. Bragg is the contractor.
