Democratic Oklahoma with its ten
electoral votes carried for Benson. a big

Democratic South. a Socialist United
States Senator from Nevada and from
six to eight members Of Coneress-these
are the claims the Socialists are making
two weeks before election.
Socialist leaders believe that this year
they are to make the most impressive
showing In the history Of their party.
However. they. like the managers OF the
two older parties. admit that the un-
usual number OF cross currents In this
campaign makes representation exceed
ingly difficult. They do not know ex-
actly how such issues as the war. pros
rerity, preparedness and the Adamson
law are going to affect them. But what
they do feel is a steady swing to social
ism In the last four years. and they viii,
be surprised II they do not poll 100000
votes. In 1911: their vote was $4,000.
First Time State II ClaimeA.
This Is the first year In which the
Socialists have actually claimed a state
for their Presidential candidate. Morris
Hillquit. international secretary and one
OF the leaders OF the party. told a SrN
reporter yesterday why the Socialists
claims to Oklahoma were made. -Four
years 2 the Socialists cast 42.cS3 votes
In Oklahoma, 1876 per cent. of the total
vote. the highest percentage they at
tanned anywhere. In the primaries n
month ago the Socialists. said Mr.. Hill
quit. cast more than 10000 votes. more
than either the Democratic or Republic
ran primary vote. Unlike In the East.
the Socialist movement there has found
great strength anon farmers. one of
the State problems being enant farming.
A good part of the Benson campaign IL
being directed at Oklahoma.

that we are to get here our first Social
list electoral votes"
Texas = arother State where the
farmers. Mr.. ~illilauii says. have shown a
leaning toward socialism. Tho vote OF
the party four years was about the
same as that for Roosevelt. IL they do
not carry Texas the Socialists say they
stand a chance OF being the leading mi
nority party In that State anyway.
In Nevada. also normally Democratic.
they cast 16.i7 per cent. OF the vote four
years ago Since then they have made
great Roadway among the miners. &c
much 80 that they believe they are to elect
Grant Miller United States Senator.

These are the Congress districts they
are claiming: The Twelfth and Twen-

A STUBBORN PROGRESSIVE.

The vision which Francis J. Honey, a leading progressive of the state of California, entertained of the men who robbed" Colonel Roosevelt of the Republican nomination in 1912 ap- pears not to have undergone any change or modification in the four in tervening years. In his sight they were crooks and robbers and second story men then. and they are crooks and robbers and second-story men now. He has ibeen able to find noth- ing in their careers since to warrant him to shake with them as restored souls nor does he find that their pos sitions in the Republican party have undergone any change. MT. Heney will remain without the fold into which the colonel has galloped and vote against the Republican candi- date.
 Mir. Heney belongs to that class of progressive voters who marched on to Armageddon in earnest, and took part in the battle of the Lord for the Lords sake. He was one of the men who believed thoroughly that the time had como when the crooks and rob- bers and second-story men. whom Colonel Roosevelt identified with such ripping defiance of the law of libel. should be rcbuked and driven out of public life. The burning of bridges

which took place then by men of known courage and conviction thrill- ed the country and drew to- their standard other men, who were not or iginally enrolled in tke progressive party. but who felt the justice of the excoriation. Like the gold Demo- crats of a previous political genera ton, they meant what they said and said what they meant.
 It is yet to be explained upon what theory Colonel Roosevelt is justified in abandoning the Heneys of his old army of enthusiastic recruits; to what an extent ana how the crooks and robbers and second-story men of four years ago have become entitled to a place in the ranks of the armies of the Lord battling at Armageddon. We quite understand that with him it was Q question of beating Taft at any cost four years ago. and of beating Will son at any cost this year, but does this carry with it an assurance that four years hence, assuming for the sake of argument that Mr Hughes presidential term will expire at that time, 1t will not then be case of beating him at any cost? Perhaps the crooks and robbers and second story men will look out for that in due tine.--New Haven Journal-C Cour- fer

Murray Crane "con- demns the Payne-Aldrich Bill as un- just to the people" Uncle Joe Can- non demands minimum wages for working women. Only through Re- publican triumph can the Progressive principles. of 1912 find fulfilment.
 And MT. Wilcox can hint at sack cloth and ashes! He can even speak of welcoming Progressive callers "as Lincoln would have greeted the Con- federate States" after the rebellion, "as if they had never been away"
 Those who stand at Armageddon and battle for the Lord never go away. They stand fast. It is the errant Re- publicans who are "pussy-footing' into camp. fanished prodigals, snifing the savor of the fatted moose calf.-New York World.
