MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Nov. 3.-Milwau-
kee threw off the yoke of Socialism in
yesterdays election and Victor Ber-
ger, the party's boss, gives women the
credit. 1t is estimated that $4,000
women exercised the right of franch Sc,
and almost bodily they voted Rcpub-
ican ticket, with the result that the
Socialist incumbents of county offices
were displaced. SO complete was the
Socialistic rout that only one Socialist,
Mayor Dan Hoan, now holds office
Berger did not hesitate to place some
Of the blame on the shoulders of Sena-
tor Robert NJ. La Toilette. He SAID that
the alliance of La Toilette followers
and the Nonpartisan League combined
to cut the vote of Debs and the Social
st candidates.
"There were several new elements IN
this late election in Wisconsin," Mr..
Berger said. There was the woman's
vote. There was also the alliance of
La Toilette with the Nonpartisan
League and the State Federation of
Labor.
Hurt Debs and Party Ticket
GAS for the alliance. it evidently did
rot bring La Toilette much, but it hurt
Debs and the Socialist party in the
state. And what is more. that alliance
had a tendency to hold otherwise pro-
gressive voters in the Republican
column and to have them cast their
votes for Harding and Coolidge, which
leaders in that alliance.
"In Milwaukee we were up against
the other factor, woman voting for the
first time.
"Now, it's been the experience every
where that woman suffrage at first al
ways helps reaction. Women on tls,
whole lack political experience and are
less ready to take up the duties Of
democracy than men. However. that's
q matter for the organization to take
care, Of.

Republicans. Democrats, drys and vets
united to accomplish this feat"
Like Berger, Edmund 7. Melms, for
mer Sheriff and Socialist Organizer in
Milwaukee County, lays the Socialist
ceteat to the vote Of the women and
the independent candidacy Of Thomp-
son. Il have been told that there were
Mcver so many split ballots cast as in

this was due to this fact he said.

Il have been greatly interested in

of Christmas Seals during the coming
holiday season. The success of that
effort is indispensable to the carrying
out of the farreaching plans of the
Association In its fight against tuber-

THE American people, in common
with the nations of Europe, are be-
coming aroused to the critical impor-
lance of the problem of vitality and
conservation of health as, the neces
sary factor In re-establishing the
world after the devastation and de
structjon caused by the war. OF ak
the preventable diseases, tuberculosis
takes perhaps the first place in impor-
lance. For that reason | view with
keenest sympathy and approval the
