MELLON To AID.
SEN. PEPPER
nv GEORGE r. HOLMEs

Today is a memorable day in the
career of Andrew w. Mellon, re-
puted to be one Of the three richest
men in the United States.
For the first time in his Il years
he will appear tonight on a political
platform in Pittsburgh to plead the
cause Of candidate-Senator
George Wharton Pepper.
He is breaking the habit of a
lifetime, and the fact that he -
doing so is perhaps the best indica-
ton Of the tensity of the big Re-
publican fight in Pennsylvania and
the Administration interest there
in. All the speeches that the Sec
rotary of the Treasury has ever
made in his three score and ten
years could probably be numbered
on the fingers of one hand.
Mr.. Mellon will ask the Repub-
licans of Pennsylvania to renomi-
nate Senator Pepper in Tuesdays

torial ambitions of Gov. Clifford
Pinchot, the bone dry" candidate,

PITTSBURGH, Pa, May 8. - (5y
Mail)-RecentIy the socialist press
Historically broadeasted the claim that
the membership Of the socialist party
had shown an increase of 1000. Like
many other reports, this one would
have been "interesting II true" II
would then have been phenomena in
the working class movement worth
studying.
But George R. Kirkpatrick, socialist
party secretary, in his official report
to the Pittsburgh convention, made
the interesting confession.
There's Nothing to It,
"No communication has been given
out by the national office justifylng
the inference in our press that our
party membership is this year aver
aging an increase of 1000 over that
of last year."
Thus the socialist membership boom
bursts quite comically. The mass
membership conventions addressed by
Eugene V. Debs in all parts of the
country, the $4,000 donated by
Abraham Cahan. editor of the New
York Jewish Daily Forward, for Or
ganization purposes, the launching Of
the partys weekly, the American Ap-
peal, edited by Debs, have not brought
the results that some socialist editors
have frantically claimed for them.
Actual Figures Interesting.
Some of the actual figures are in
teresting. The socialists officially ad-
nit that they lost about 1000 members
following their disastrous participa-
ton in the .LaFollette campaign in
1924. The early months of 1925
pushed the membership down to bed
rock showing for the first three
months Of that year, as claimed, an
an average monthly membership Of
1854.
The average membership for the
first three months of this year 1920
is placed at 9,772, which would be an
increase Of is members, 1t must be
remembered, however, that these were
the months leading up to the present
convention, when all the states wanted
to make a good showing in the Off
cial report. This led them, as is the
custom, to purchase blocks of dues
stamps, upon which the membership
estimates are based, altho they may
be good part of the rest of the year
in disposing of these stamps.
The best that can be said is that
the socialist party membership, in
spite Of the tremendous efforts exert
ed as outlined above, have merely re-
suited in the membership remaining
stationary. One Interpretation of this
effort is given by Secretary Kirk
patrick in his report as follows:
Members at 81 per.
