HILLQUIT EXPECTS BIG
VOTE IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK-Morris Hillquit, So
cialist candidate for mayor of New
York, predicted an extraordinary in
crease in the Socialist vote, which he
said would be interpreted through
out the country as vote for peace.
He denied that special efforts were
being made to appeal to the German
and Irish vote, as was charged by
John Spargo, who recently resigned
from the Socialist party.
Asked about the significance to the
Socialist PARTY of the detection Of
Spargo, William J. Client, J. G.
Phelps Stokes and others, Hillquit
said that those who had resigned
were merely a few intellectual"
who had not taken with them single
one of the 5000 local organizations
of the Socialist party throughout
the country, nor any considerable
body of voters.
Dayton Vote Revelation
"The first and only concrete proof
Of the political strength of the So
cialist party after the DETECTION of
Spargo and the Others" said Hill
quit, "has been that of the primary
election in Dayton, Ohio. There the
party fully accepted the anti-war
position of the Socialist party at
large. The primary campaign was
to large extent made on that issue
and, as a result, the Socialist candi-
dates received in the primaries al
most as many votes as all the other
parties combined.
The sentiment in New York, so
far as the. masses of silent voters
are concerned, from what l can Judge,
is very similar to that prevailing in
Dayton and other industrial centers
in the middle west. In no part of
the country, so far as I know, has
the detection of the few intellectuals
headed by Spargo and Stokes af-
fected the rank and file of the So
cialist party membership"

PLEASE DON'T LAUGH

The American Alliance for Labor
and Democracy--the Gompers- Russell
bunch--is going to send delegates to
Russia to tell the Russian people
what a great democratic country this
is and how very nice the government
treats the workers, and how "free
and independent (stick out your
chest) the horny handed son of toll
is. The delegation will beg of the
Russians to keep up the fight along
side the Allies and after the war
some good, kind American capitalists
will go over to Russia and give ca
the Russians some work so that they
won't starve.
But if we know anything at all
about the Russian situation we are
of the opinion that Russia will be
about to put the boots to capital
just about the time this noble o.
delegation gets there. 1t looks to us
as if the Social Revolutionists were
gaining the upper hand over the So
cial Democrats and in that case it
will mean an end to the war with
Germany and also the declaration of
a democratic republic, the abolition
of privat property in the means of
wealth production, transfer to peas
ants of all stock and machinery on
estates, control by the workers of all
industries and the naturalization of
all industry. In other words it
would be a Socialist republic and the
