DAYS OF UK ACTION’.
Allan Benson, the socialist party
candidate for President, sometime
ago expressed the belief that that
party would poll about two million
votes this year.
He may be correct. But it is
very likely that he has an overesti- ^
mate of what is the socialist party j
strength throughout the United ,
States. It seems exceedingly prob
able that more than ever this elec
tion, a great number of socialist par
ty (we ddTit say socialist) \otes,
will be deflected towards Wilson, |
There is no reason to think other ^
wise. There is every reason to be- '
lieve so.
The socialist party vote and the
socialist labor party vote have had
two very vital points of difference.
The former was secured by regular
professional vote getting, the latter
through the distinct espousal of
socialist principles, however narrow
or intolerant of differences. Conse- ,
quently while Reiraer the socialist ,
labor party candidate will doubtless1
roll up not less than his previous
vote. Allan Benson may possibly poll
less than did Debs, and certainly
may not show a proportionate gain
in voting to the increase in the so
cialist or proletariat voters. There
is some reason for this conjecture.
These are in fact days of reaction.
The war in Kurope has not divided
more effectively radical opinion In
Kurope than it has done in the
ITiited Stat.-.i The socialist party
members are div: led on t h • vital
and such
noted leaders as Berger, as f iuuies
1 .award Russ 1 have adopted views
v.hi li arc t.ot only antagonistb to
another, but are at variance
"With the very rrin , whit b
i ... party has stood in the past with
:. ..ini to militarism. Some well
know,, sc-ialist writers, such as
Eastman, heretofore a singularly
< tear 1 it in’s iug writer and extreme
ly radical at that, has adopted, ac
r,;;iia to report, the banner of op
portunist compromise and an
nounces his loyalty to Wilson.
These are not isolated cases
cither. One could go down the
whole gamut of those prominent it:
the ranks of the socialist party, anil
show that they have been in many
cases trimming their sails and shap
ing their course by the winds of op
portunism as to preparedness, gov
ernment ownership, Mexican policy,
Wilson and a whole lot of other mat
ters at which they are hopelessly at
outs.
It is in evidence that a good many
of the publications issued by the so
called socialist leaders, make a spe
cialty of middle class measures
which can be regarded as nothing
else but palliatives and which sim
ply have, in the long run, the re
sult of side tracking the socialist
movement. They have, quite'a num
ber especially of late, devoted more
Ilian usual attention to the farmers
quite regardless of tlie bitter fight
the farmers have been putting up
against the demands of the agricul
tural workers and especially the
harvest hands.
Bearing these facts in mind, we
■can hardly believe that there would
be any* such a collosal following for
Benson as two million. If there is,
it reveals the fact that the move
ment is much more progressive in
■the I'nted States than the surface
indications would tend to show
The groat war in Europe has com
pelled a rush to either the Wilson
or the Hughes banner in the poli
tical situation it has evolved.
Accordingly, although Benson-s
contention that the vast mass of pa
cificists in the United States may
this year support him, and that
hence lie will get two million votes,
■especially because many disappoint
ed progressives will now fight un
der the socialist banner having been
deserted by their former leaders,
may be correct, it seems on its face
unduly optimistic. Men have this
year become unusually reactionary.
Unusually reactionary middle class
nostrums are being sedulously ad
vocated as never before, and quite
si large number who made a feature
of their socialism in former, years
may this year vote for Wilson, or it
;hey allow themselves to be victim
zed by their racial predilections, for
Jovernor Hughes.
BRIBERY?
The most interesting, if not start
ling, statement that has emanated
from the judicial mind of the repub
lican candidate for president, is the
declaration that he firmly believes
that the working men of America
are not to be bribed by any such
paltry considerations as an eight
hour day. The American working- j
man is too high minded a fellow, to
be tempted b> any such sordid con
siderations, There you have it
again!
These politicians will insist upon
placing the American working man
on a higher plane about election
time. While your bankers may be
affected by questions of an elastic
currency or any such legislation as
may add to the bulk of their wad,
while the materialistic farmers may
be concerned by the prices which le
gislation may effect for their pro
duct, while the infant and senile in
dustries of the land are concerned
about nothing else but tariff and
protection so that they can get a
lead pipe cinch on all the domestic
dollars, your American workingman
is not a victim of such sordid mo
1 tives at all. He is on the higher
! plane, a patriot, a selfsacrificing,
self •"ergotful altruist who thinks of
I everyone else and never of himself.
! And they how . bl ere these illustrious
self-sacrificing altruists about elec
tion tint" to beat the band.
And the pity ot it all is that
Thigh's lik-- the rest of the capital
's! i>e'.::ians have the right dope.
Th -y know that tii ■ work* :\s fall for
this bull quite r« gulerlv and while
after election they can regard the
workers who drop;), d their ballots
to elc.t the Hughes and the rest.
:>s a lot of suckers, they would drop
dead before letting fall a worif as
to the real opinion they entertain
of the easy marks that they so
belaud.
After tne workers, wit n neaus
swelling and chests thrown out fall!
for the soft stuff delivered by the
politicians, they awake one fmo
morning to realize that it is the day
after, and the very machine politi
cians that they have landed in office
are they who will devote the ma
chinery of government to the sup
pression of the workers’ efforts to
better their condition.
ft would be a cold day for the
class who now direct affairs, if the
masses voted as self interest dictat
ed. It would result in a good many
finding * themselves in the outer
limbo of disappointmenv -vliere there
! is weeping and wailing among the
j office seekers who obtain no office.
DEPORTATION.
The right to deport persons is not
| enjoyed constitutionally by the po
lice power, but it is an actual enjoy
j ment none the less. It is a usurpa
; lion of authority which is a charac
teristic with many persons who hold
authority.
It persons break the law they can
be prosecuted. What else are laws
passed for? It there is an inability
to prosecute, there is no reason why
| the law itself should be so grossly
, violated. Not only that, we can be
I assured that it is not in directing at
| tention to criminals that such usurp
i ed powers will be exercised. It is
quite a regular thing for police
authorities to deport any and every
person who is objectionable to them,
whether because of committing of
fenses or, because the ‘invisible’ gov
ernment, the employers object to
their presence. It is all very well
to rid *a community of macques and
gamblers. But deportation is only
practiced because the police au
thorities find it impossible to do
their duty. The abuse of the con
stitutional rights of the individual,
such as is this deportation process.
| is the last chapter in authoritarian
tyranny and a very ugly one at
that.
