HIs coMPETIToRs TALK.

Quoting from the East Mississippi
Times, four Of Mr.. Claude R. Horne's
business competitors had the follow
ing to say about him:
IF that man was my worst enemy
would feel like it was my duty as
citizen to vote for him for Railroad
Commissioner because know he is
capable. resourceful and honest and
thoroughly understands the problems
the Railroad Commission has to deal
with"
Another said:
Claude Horne is a man of strong
and positive convictions and if he is
elected Railroad Commissioner he
would sacrifice everything he pos
sesses on earth but his good name,
before he would knowingly do the
public or the railroads an injustice.
He has always been 'stickler for
square deal"
Another said:
"He is a business man in the
strictest sense of the word-alert,
progressive and aggressive"
The fourth said:
"He is a man who does things
a true friend and an honest, straight
forward, cool-headed business man."
For the purely business office of
Railroad Commissioner, Claude Horne
is opposed by a professional poll
tician or man who has made living
out of politics for twenty-odd years
and by third man who is practical

barber-shop experience.-( Political

10 Distrust of League of

SOCIALISTS INVITE REDS
Feeling Grows That Anarchy

BY WALTER DURANTY
Special Gable TO Erering Public Ledger

Copyright. 1919, ~ the ". /. times Co.
Paris, Jan. 9.-On the eve Of the
Peace Conference public opinion in
France Is tending to crystalline on
certain definite lines whose various
tendencies can now be gagged with
something like accuracy. 1t may be
said at the outset that. except as
regards extremists in either direction.
there is a fairly general unanimity
about the essential policy of the coun.
try. which was defined by Clemenceau
as safety first"
AS the Premier declared, this by no
means implies either distrust OF dis
approval of the League of Nations
proposal, and the sentiment. which the
Socialists for their OWL purposes have
done IN best to foster, hat there is
q conflict of views between Clemen.
ceau and President Wilson, has met
with little popular support.
The motives of the Socialist leaders
are perfectly obvious. Having failed
in their demand that organized labor
shall have separate and special repre-
sentation at the Peace Conference.
they now propose to hold a meeting
OF the Socialist 'Internationale" in
Switzerland parallel to and contem.
poiuiitouS Will TIE IIlttllHE ol ltlc
Allied delegation in Paris.
BoIshevik Menace Grows
In well.informed circles here tie
feeling grows daily stronger that Boil
ehevism is ono Of h greatest dan
gers with which the Allied conference
must cope. The ,mass of the public
does not yet realize the full extent
OF the danger, as the newspapers
avoid alarming news on the one hand,
and on the other are over-ready to
feature exaggerated stories emphasi2-
ing the utter disorganization and ruin
Of the Bolshevlk regime in Russia.
Even in France, England, and Italy.
there are disquieting symptoms,
whereof the dissatisfaction over the
rehabilitation question is not the sole
manifestation. In Germany the Spar.
tacans grow daily more dangerous,
powerful, and daring, and while the
Allies are hairsplitting over the con-
ference procedure and the exact sig
I n~ifcance of the League Of Nations,
the Bolshevik flood rolls steadily
westward across Poland.
Swiss Are Anxious
4 What Is really happening in hat d.
rection may be Judged by a leading
\ editorial in the Swiss journal De Geneve
whose neutral impartiality cannot con-
Zeal its profound anxiety. The writer
