%ocratic bosses and ward heelers. The
president placed in his cabinet, Mr..
Baker, a municipal socialist from
Ohio; Mr.. w. B. Wilson, a state So
%cialist from Pennsylvania, and anoth-
er state socialist from Texas to head
the ~postoffice department.
Socialists Get Government Jobs.
The administration followed this up
with the appointment of hundreds of
state socialists to fine salaried posi-
tons. DR.. Frederick G.. Howe was
given the appointment as commission
err of immigration of Ellis Island, the
best paying place in the immigration
service, $4,000 a year salary, and large
powers. DR.. Howe is famous for just
one thing, he is a worker, writer and
speaker for state socialism. In his
"S~ocialized Germany" he says that
this nation is a hundred years behind
that country, all because Germany has
socialized eight billion dollars worth
OF private property.
Frank Walsh, of Kansas City, who
as chairman of the federal commits
sion of industrial relations, made a
report that so pleased the socialist
leaders of this nation that they sue
cessfully lobbied through congress a
bill to spend $10O, 900 for free distri-
button of this thoroughly socialistic
document, and who appeared before
the resolutions committee at the dem
ocratic convention in 1916 with a So
cialist platform which he sought to
have substituted for the committee
report, and who is one of our most
radical state socialists, is a great
friend and adviser of the president.
Mr.. Walsh is at the head of an organ
ization which is seeking to convert the
democratic party to socialism, and he
is meeting with great success. Sena-
tor Lewis, former democratic leader in
the senate, has joined the Hearst
Dunno forces in Illinois, which means
that the next platform of the party
in that state will declare.
No greater fraud was ever imposed
upon the American people than the
u. S. socialist commission which went
to Europe last summer. This COM
mission was appointed and approved
by Mr.. Wilson. 1t was composed
largely of socialistist who had bolted
from the socialist party, largely be-
cause they could not boss that red
flag organization. They succeeded in
securing a meal ticket from a lot of
soft marks through the plea that they
were needed in Europe to make the
socialists of the allied nations see
things a la Wilson, etc.
The Change in 1"The Appeal"
The Appeal to Reason, published at
Girard, Kansas, by the Waylands, and
the socialist organ of largest circula-
ton, a paper whose circulation has
been suppressed in Canada, as the
Hearst papers are, suddenly changed
it's name to "The New Appeal" and
likewise changed its policy. After
supporting the St. Louis platform for
many months it suddenly became a
Wilson socialists organ. Soon after
this it's editor was drafted, but m
how he escaped any service with the
army, and he, too, made a trip over
Europe, reported at the time to have
the endorsement of Woodrow Wilson.
He was supposed to represent the So
cial democratic league, a new organ
ization formed by the New Appeal
staff, the main object of which is to
convert the democratic party to So
| cialism, and at the same time retain
the so-called appeal Army" as vol
unteer force that gives time and cash
to get subscribers for the organ.
The boiling socialists, some single
takers and a part of the prohibition
party, amalgamated last summer into
a high sounding name, "The National
Party" adopted a socialist platform
with single tax and prohibition as side
issues, and announced a bombastic
political program which was to result
in electing many congressman and
holding the balance of power in many
states in 1920. What they did in the
1918 elections was to endorse the dem
ocratic party everywhere. They en-
dorsed Senator-elect David l. Walsh
in Massachusetts, because they want
ed, first, to defeat the Hon. John w.
Weeks, and secondly, because they
