The Socialist vote in 1928 was 267,835, The Socialists cast their largest vote in 1920 when Debs received 919,799 votes in a total vote | that as more than ten millions less than last| year. Their best showing was in 1912 when | it wa 7,011 in a total of 15,000,000—22,000,- 000 less than last year. That means that in 1912 the Socialists cast about 6 per cent. of the votes—six out of each 100. Last year they ecast about seven-tenths of one per cent. of the votes, Several things enter into the cause of this vast shrinkage. One, cf course, is the prosperity that doubt we recent more than of the camp of the major But, probably, more than anything else has been the failure of Socialistic principles when applied to government in Russia and elsewhere, and their failure to meet/adequately the crisis of war when | it broke in the last decade. Socialism began to| decline in the United States more than ten years| ago, when such men as John Spargo, Charles Ed- ward Russell and other intellectual giants aban- doned - it It might be said that this is not Another, no | intensiveness | last y have had in was the aign years usual parties ar, ,nul destroyed by lin the louse. These are prf‘_\ml upon another little flyike insect. This in turn preyed upon by another-—a sec- aphid, or plant |insect i ond p ite. And both primary and secondary parasites become the victims of still another in- sect, a tertiary parasite. This is as far toward ad infinitum as the entomologists have traveled. One of these steps in the direction of ad infinitum is the Aphelinus Mali, a Marco Polo |sort of an insect who appears to be widely ltraveled. Sent over to kill plant pests, he was c d by hand from Washington to Paris in \ 11920 possibly a sort of goodwill offering to en- ‘|courage the debt settlement or something of the |sort. He multiplied and spread through the |apple orehards of France. The same year he took a trip to Uruguay. Next he traveled to Italy, Germany, England, Spain, Belgium, Hol- land, Switz nd, Austria, the Argentine, Chili, New land, Australia, Scuth Africa and Japan. So far he has avoided Russia, India, Turkey and a few odd places on the globe, but with the world-touring habit so well confirmed, they can- not hope to escape his visitations much longer. It is now Judge Harding sure enough. He tock the oath of office Monday, and is on the |job. That will improve the situation a lot.

When Congress decided that the mahogany barricade which divided the white coats from the black must be replaced by brokerage offices, the Waldorf ceased to live for many of the more romantic habitues of the corridors, and there were melancholy suggestions to be heard— year 1918—that the hotel might as well be torn down.

W. Jermane, Seattle Times and its Washington correspondent, insists that the drys who contend that Gov. Smith’s wetness cost him more votes than any other in the last election are all wrong. He declares that his religion was more disas- trous. In his telegraphic correspondence in the Times recently, Mr. Jermane, who supported Mr. Hoover for the Presidency, said that Prohibition was a cloak for weéligious intolerance to operate under without detection. He added: In formal statements of dry leaders since the election, prohibition was said to have been the biggest issue of the campaign, and to have explained the sweeping Hoover victory almost in its entirety. 1 do not believe that to be true; and I think I know something about last year's issues. Mr. Jermane declares that “Wild Bill" Dono- van is convinced that he is heing opposed for Attorney-General in Mr. Hoover's Cabinet more on account of his religién than because he does editor of the issue convenient 1 not believe that Prohibition is the best solution of the liquor prohlem in the United States. His record as District Attorney and Assistant District- Attorney shows, it is id,. that he ‘has been an effective Prohibition enforcer. Mr. Jermane thinks that not only was r('-Y ligious intolerance more effective in the late campaign inst Gov. Smith than Prohibition, but he thinks that there has Reen no let-up on that issue since the election. He thinks, further, that Mr. Donovin will not be Attorney-General, and declares that Mr. Heover has told friends ‘that the Attorney-General will be a dry Pro- testant. He says the President has offered Mr. | Donovan the position of Seeretary of War, ‘but the latter has refused it,begause he would rather be Attorney-General, and believes that he would be appointed if it were not for his religion.

When Mr. Box’s letter to Governor Roosevelt was made public the reaction was one of indigna- tion among the rank and file. This feeling was reflected in the newspapers of the South and the Texas Representative was both ridiculed and as- sailed for his attempt to drive 15,000,000 voters out of the Democratic Party and turn it over to a million or two of those who left its ranks at a critical time. Mr. Box's ultimatum failed to elicit a fayorable response except from men of the type of the Rev. Mr. Upshaw and his fol- lowers. Interest in Gov. Smith’s radio talk was evi- dent, and his emphasis on the need for constant and continuous Democratic efforts to influence the Nation's po has found a response already in Georgia, where it is proposed to keep county, district and State organizations not only intact This result is due in large part to the ov.
