radical men. The program OF this
faction calls for:

NEW YORK, June 10-"This muir

rector" of the official forces who for
four weeks have sought the mur-

A high police official yesterday also
declared:
This case will be cleared up when
three persons-two women and a man
are either arrested on a perjury
charge or placed in the House of De-

lar will. A successful organisation of
the existing liberal progressive con-
viction would. in our Judgment, in
troduee q real two-party system into
American political life.
Our platform Is single minded in
its purpose. 1t seeks to accomplish
not all things, or even many things,
but goes straight to the accomplish
ment Of task which it considers of
supreme Importance at this time.
Through 1t we declare that just as in
1860 the paramount issue in American
life was the abolition Of the special
privilege of chattel slavery, so the
paranount issue Of 1920 In the aboli-
tiOA Of economic privilege, which has
grown more powerful than slavery
ever became.
WOULD ABOLISH PRIVILEGE.
"The principal sources of the power
OF privilege are two: The ownership
land control of the means of distribu-
ton. Our platform, therefore, pro-
poses to abolish privilege by taking
away the sources Of its power. To
accomplish this purpose If proposes
public ownership OF transportation
and the principal basic resources OF
the country, and declares that all
lind held out Of use for speculation to
aid monopoly should be forced into
use by taxation.
After years Of secret slavery the
Republican and Democratic parties
ccme into the open and reveal them
selves to the nation as nothing but
the right and left wings Of the same
bird of prey. 1t In no longer possible
for anyone even to pretend that there
~ any difference or any issue between
them.
.There is not q word In either Of their
platforms that might not have been
written and unanimously endorsed
by n convention exclusively composed
Of corporation lawyers and wall street
banker,. Confronted by the gravest
srisis in the history of civilization,
they have demonstrated, even to their
own adherents, that they are without
vision OF statesmanship, the courage
of leadership. or the conviction OF
patriotism.
COMPARED TO PICKPOCKETs.
"Over the trail OF these national
failures is to be drawn the red herring
Of international relations. This is an
ancient trick of reaction. II II sue

RUSSIAN SONGS
PROVE POPULAR
Emma Destinn and Ber-
nardo Olshansky De-
light Audience. (

Nine. Emmy Destinn, dramatic
soprano. and Mr.. Bernardo Olshan-
sky. barytone, shared honors In the
fifth Concert Diplomatiaue" at
Polls Theater yesterday afternoon.
under the management of NJ. +.
The program was opened by Mr..
Olsbansky, who sang three Russian
competitions brilliantly. making q
deep Impression on the audience.
In the two romances, Evening
Bell and Death" by Gretehaninow,
he displayed Il warmth OF tone, per-
feet shading and n true sense OF
the dramatic, which left his hearers
in an expectant mood for his later
numbers.
Nine. Destinn's first number was
the beautiful and well-known Caro-
Mic Ben by Giordani. which.
though well sung, would have been
far more effective without notes.
However. as this seems the popu-
lar style among the leading artists
this season. there is nothing to do
but try to forget il. In the "Ru-
salka Song" by Dvorak, sung with
out notes. Nine. Destinn proved her
self the really great singer she is.
cinfs ''Tosca," she rose to tremen-
dous heights and richly deserved
the applause which she received
Nine. Destinn included in her pro-
gram two songs OF her own, name
ly. Souvenir" and Maiden Song"
While her voice Is essentially dra-
matte. she displayed in the latter
song beautiful lyric quality
which came as pleasant surprise
/ after listening to her work in the
Arioso from the opera "Dubrovsky."
iIy NapravniE. and "rCltima Cam
zone" by Tosti, the question came to
mind 'Is there anything this artist
cannot sing and sing well?" As en-
cores she included the Czec cho- -Slavak
war song and the S!oyak song by
Karol Kovarovic.
Mr.. Olshansky's French suite was
well night perfect. and the first of the
| three Rumanian folk songs. sung ia
the original language. was so exquis-
iteIy done il had TO be repeated.
Those who heard this great and
practically unheard- of 0arytone are
indebted to him as much as TO Nine.
Destin for a charming afternoon. MIR.
Olshansky, although born in Russia.
