Fate Of the Minor Parties

\ the early days of the campaign Just
l closed the country resounded with the
claim of certain protesting politicians that
the Democratic and Republican parties were
about to evaporate; that both of the old
organizations had lost their appeal. were
reactonary and unresp0nsive TO popular
needs, and the time was not far distant when
they would be junked 1t was even as
serted that new party would rise UP this
year 10 meet the emergency that existed
and provide the restless people OF America
with Il means OF rcdressing wrongs which
Democrats and Republicans alike ignored
ar actually countenanced.
This sort Of clamor had been heard be-
fore, OF course II made little or no i'm
preston upon the average man or woman
and yet a healthy curiosity existed in many
quarters as to tho showing which the Social
list, the Fermentation. the Single Tax and
The Prohibition parties might make II they
should poll heavy vote. it would be an
indication that nc unrest about which
The country received warning existed in
greater degree than was suspected II their
vote should prove negligible, 1t would mean
that the people a, large wore the victims

Although the tabulations arc not yet com
piete enough to show the exact vote of the

fcient figures are available 10 prove thar

They cut into the vote OF neither Of the
older parties except in remote instances. and

victory III single State. /, is doubtful IL
they defeated moro than 4 mere handful of
local candidates.
The Farmcr-Labor party. as most people
foresaw, was only AN incident in the cam
paign. The failure of the radical groups
which assembled in Chicago after the San
Francisco convention 10 coalesce upon
ticket and platform put them out of the
running as possible factor. If they had
come together and named u strong ticket
they might have been heard OF i'm The re-.
Turns, even though they failed To rcyolu-
tioniZe the nation. But the merger nro
gram collapsed and the Farmcr-Labor Marty
composed OF fragments, was destined IA an
obscure place In the roll call
The same was not altogether true Of The
socialist party, however. II has tightly
constituted organization in virtually every
state. 1t had po!led approximately 900 900
votes eight years ago and something like
100000 votes four years ago. With the en-
frahchiselnent OF The women and with radi-
callsm spreading in many quarters of ,h.
country, it seemed probable that the social
