Socialists Lose In Elections.
emperor William met Il notable de-
feat In the United States last Tuesday,
when I'm Chicago and New York the
Socialists were thoroughly whipped Mt
the polls. Supporting the Socialist
nominees for judges In Chicago and
for mayor and other city officials In
New York, were al the forces Of pro-
Germnnism, paciflcism and disloyalty,
md though they cast n d%lsgracefully
large vote, the defeat administered to
them was decisive.
These elections were looked upon.
and rightly, as n test of the loyalty of
the two largest cities In the country.
Most OF the Socialist candidates were
openly anti-wnr men and some OF them
In their prediction u%ttcrances came
dangerously near the treason mark.
Hence the victory of loyalty and pa
trlotism is cause for genuine rejoic-
ing.

verses have been due to lack Of team
