in a wave Of boos. There were so many
outbreaks that the speaker had TO re-
quest that they be dispensed with.

also described the electors as "evening
dress rowdies," and said their action
was due to "a pernicious, undemo-
cratic, un-American spirit, which we
Socialists are determined to combat
and TO crust"

Mr.. Hillquit continues:

merce has done US the great honor Of
singing out the Socialist candidate for
a special and venemous attack. The
Business Mems League has proclaimed
the Socialist candidacy "a dangerous
menace, ard mos. notorious ring OF
sweating cloak manufacturers has com
bined for the moral and financial sup
port Of one of our opponents. In the
closing hours of this campaign let us
publicly extend our thanks TO these
predatory powers for the frank ac-
knowledgment that Socialism is a dan
gerous menace to their parasitic exist
ence.

astonishing how very corrupting even
