Socialists Expect
To Win, Is Belief
Of Rival Parties
See Indication in Hillquit's
Modified Views on
Peace

The political leaders In all the camps,
who are closely watching the campaign
Of Morris Hillquit, the Socialist candi-
date for Mayor, saw indications yester-
day in a letter issued from the hiliqult
Headquarters that the Socialists were
beginning to entertain real hope that
their candidate could be elected in the
four-cornered Mayoralty fight. The let
ter was written by Mr.. Hillqult in re-
ply TO an article by William HARD IN
THE New Republic and defines his
position on the war.
The fact that the Socialist candidate
appears to modify to a marked degree
his previous strong public utterances
on the peace issue indicated to the
leaders that he and his followers were
beginning 70 believe that he had a
chance of being elected.
Hllquits Letter
Here is the letter:
81 do not advocate AN immediate sep
arate peace, withdrawal by America
Nothing that | have ever said or writ
ten could justify such sweeping as
sertion. have always tried TO make 1t
clear that the peace | advocate Is a
general peace, negotiated peace Tor
all belligcrsnts on the basis OF the
familiar formula. No forcible annexa-
ton, no punitive indemnitles, free de-
velopment Of the peoples and a guar
anty of permanence of peace resting
upon the principle OF universal d!sar-
mament and an international Organlza-
ton for the settlement Of disputes.
IL hold that the United States can
and should take the leadership in a
defnitive move for such a peace, and
that the time is ripe for such move.
/ want America TO act, not 10 withdraw.
IL do not urge Americans to vote for
anti-war candidates pledged TO the CO.
operative commonwealth while Ger
many spreads ruin through Europe. In
common with all the Socialists of Amer
lea, Russia, Italy, and with the ever
growing numbers OF the Socialists in
England. France, Germany and Austria,
urge the people OF all countries TO
vote for anti-war candidates pledged to
the cooperative commonwealth, so that
no country will spread ruin through
Europe or elsewhere. ! believe war
must be ended by peace. Mr.. Hard seems
10 think that peace must be brought
about by wGT."

The general is inclined to mourn
the passing of the old board as that
of great and historic institution. a
wholly natural attitude for one who
has served in it so long and so faith
fully. While a great many of his fel-
low citizens will decline to share his
grief on this score they will join him
in regretting that the change should
have been decreed to coincide with
municipal election.
