PRESIDENT Wilson addressed an appeal

Of a Democratic Congress to support
the policies of his Administration. In

replied by changing a Democratic ma

Republican majority of two in the Sen
ate and forty-six in the House of Rep.

The Presidents appeal said in part
If you have approved of my leader

Monumental Stupidity
ON Part of Their Enemies

Morris HillQult and Meyer London,
two Of the six Socialist Congressional
candidates. opened their campaigns yes.
terday afternoon with speeches to
large audiences in the New Star Casino
and in Clinton Hall. Both men bit
terly assailed the Republican and
Democratic parties.
Mr.. HillQrit, speaking at the New
Star Casino said that it was the first
time in four years that he had ad-
dressed the voters of the Twentieth
Congre ssional District in behalf Of his
candidacy.

sleep of twenty years. | was dazed
and bewildered by the changes that
had taken place. had lost my polit
ical bearings"
The candidate then described how he
had gone to the editor of one Of "our
great conservative dailies' and asked
him what had happened in the last
four years.
"When my interview was closed l
knew enough" declared Mr. Hillquit
But little had happened in American
politics in the last four years. They
the two old parties-arc the same hum
bugs they were four years ago and
twenty years ago-always manufacture
ing new and meaningless issues, al
ways engaging in sham fights, always
dividing the people and always OBJ
tanning the rule of wealth under one
label or another.
Fortunately for the ultimate sue
cess of socialism, the old parties grow
ever more self confident brazen and
stupid in their policies, and their most
monumental stupidity is their open
fusion IN the political districts in
which socialism is strong. 1t is of
tremendous Importance for our cause
to have the old parties throw off their
hypocritical mask of -partisanship
and to reveal themselves before the
working class as two rapacious bodies
with one reactionary soul. The old
parties may have their little family
quarrels, but they are one in uphold
ing the capitalist rule in the United
