Socialist Opposition to War

THERE is one element OF the New York
municipal campaign of more or less ma
tional interest. This is the candidacy for
Mayor of Morris Hillquit nominated and
supported by tho Socialists He has fatty
announced his hostility to the war and to all
the governments war measures, particularly
tho secctive draft system. lie is appealing
for votes on this platform, and is paying very
littlo attention TO the real issues Of the four
cornered campaign.
Considerable apprehension is being mani
tested in some quarters the possibility
OF Hillqut polling an abnormally large vote
1t is feared that his candidacy will attract
sufficient body OF malcontcnts to make his
vote ono of ominous significance; that it will
give decided comfort to tho enemy and give
courage to many opponents of the war who
up to this time have followed Attorney
General Gregory's injunction to keep their
mouths shut. Given candidate and a plat
form of this sort, it would be indeed remark
able If Hillqut failed to show a large vote
There are thousands of Germans alone in
New York who would rush to such a STAN
dard, inasmuch as they can do it in secret.
There arc other thousands of pacifsts who
have no other corner to brighten Then there
arc the members Of the Socialist party itself
All these things may be true, but we fail to
see wherein they give alarm. 1t should be
borne in mind that Woodrow Wilson owes
his second term in the presidency very
largely to the fact that "he kept us out of
war" His course during the first three years
OF the war was that Of passionate paciflst
and hfj candidacy appealed to millions of
people who revolted at the idea of this coun-
try plunging into tho bloody orgy
Hillqut in his fight may poll n large vote.
and doubtless will, but that will not alter
tho fact that we are now at war; that the
country is defeating the flower of its man
hood and the full measure OF its treasure to
tho issue. The HillQuit supporters cannot
change one OF these conditions. They can
not bring peace any nearer unless they go
out with other men and fight for victory
They cannot affect the policies of the govern
ment or shake the determination of this
country to win it's fight. They may protest
by their secret vote all they will, but thew
cannot accomplish any other result.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER rs. 1917.

Have Virginians forgotten the desolation
wrought in the Commonwealth by the War
Between the States? If not, do they want to
go through more bitter experience by leaving
the way open for German barbarism to dupli-
cate the devastation of Virginia homes with
tenfold more fury? The Liberty loan offers
the means of defeating this German purpose.
Can we afford to let it fail?

The Washington Evening Star makes the
mistake of saying that Virginia is dry by
constitutional amendment 1t is difficult
even for near neighbors, to understand the
intricacies of liquor legEs alton. For example
many newspapers have assumed that Iowa
was wet because the prohibition amendment
recently failed there. Iowa has been dry for
some years by statute. and probably will re-
main so. There are movements in several
OF the States that are dry by act of their
Legislatures to put prohibition into their Con-
stitutions which is usually not so easy a
proceeding as keeping dry statute on the
books.
