December 5. Incidentally the reault of thla earae election la expected to hare consequences of National Im portance. Three. National question are in volved woman su!Traee. Socialism and labor union closed-ahop principle. By the sudden gift of political power to the women of California they are plunged Into the middle of a campaign In which. o far. Soclallro and labor unionism combined hare had the dom inant Totee and the dominant vote. It la to the rote of women that May or Alexander.

Victory Weald TIel Party. National Socialism la the Brat phase Involved In the result. because the ticket now dominant represent all the principles of the National Socialist party: the local party hae the financial and moral aupport of the whole Na tional party and a Tlctory for Social ism In Los Angeles would be cracking ona of the hardest nuta presented to Socialism In America. National labor unionism la Involved In the second phase, because It haa aligned tta vote In thla campaign with that of the Socialists. It meana a fusion of BO-called proletariat interests aa In Milwaukee a year and a half ago, when the Socialist administration trained power. Involved In the labor union phase la the long-drawn-out content to trans form Lo Angele from Ita widely known character aa an "open-shop city to a "closed shop" city. It la the first time In a struggle of many yeara of growing Intensity that there has been an attempt to wrest control of municipal government for thla purpose. I alma Ceatrtbate nt. In aupport of thla ticket It 1 esti mated that the union of the country have contributed $100,000 to the elec tion of llarriman and his ticket and of thla $50,000 alone has been contributed by the Pan Francisco and Northern California labor union. Labor union ism would introduce the aame realm In Lo Angele that haa Just been ter minated In San Francisco by the elec tion of Rolfe over McCarthy. The third and minor phase of Na tional Interest la the attitude of tha women themselvea on the two fore going questions. Alexander la a pro gressive Republican and one of the leaders of the party responsible for the recent radical alteratlona In the slate's fundamental law. lie waa a supporter of suffrage, aa were all the progressives. The Socialists have lona- advocated eniial sufTratre and In the constitutional .lection campaign they argued hard for It. Both sides claim credit for the victory. Both sides ask woman'a support, on the ground that each waa Its first, most faithful and most power ful friend. It Is a delicate question to present to the new women voters. WtMi Fear Seelalta. Into this question comes a query fmm half a doxen state East and. West soon to pass upon equal suffrage con stitutional amendment, aa to whether woman's support of the Socialist pro gramme would not defeat the suffrage campaigns in these various states, so the suffragists of Los Angeles and Cali fornia are urging women to vote against ttoclillsm. that the ballot may be conferred on their sex In other state. In Its local scope the campaign In volves questions of radicalism that are also watched throughout the country. Los Angeles ha been making greater strides In the last ten yeara towards a pure democracy by frequent changes In Its freeholders'- charter, than per haps any American city. It waa a pioneer advocate In the recall, the Ini tiative and referendum and the non partisan election system. It has lone been committed to municipal owner ship of public utilities by gradual ab sorption or by Immediate purchase, and Ita great municipal project was bring ing water from the Sierra Nevada Mountains. In the neighborhood of Mount Whitney. ISO miles, and for which the city Is bonded to the extent of $ J. 000.000. This and other works are approaching completion. Its scheme of municipal ownership and projects, therefore. Is well advanced. a-lallat riaaa Well Laid. There Is no dispute aa to the attitude of the Socialists In the labor union and closed-shop situation. Harrlman and his candidates promise Immediate re peal of the antl-plcketlng ordinance. They promise a crusade against depart ment store, which they say underpay their employe, especially the women. They are prrarhlng a gospel of better times, brotherly love and supremacy of the unions. They are likewise preach ing pure socialism on the street cor ners at a score of meetings every night, and once a week from four to six tnousand persons part the auditorium to hear their candidates. They seem to have unlimited finan cial eupport and have thousands of canvassers working all over the city, particularly among the women. Thla campaign ha been In progress for nearly a yesr. It Is a seemingly well planned political roup, and to make It more efrVctlve. the opposition to Alex ander, which largely represents the so tailed "liberal" element, has been en rolled In the Harrlman ranks. Thus, with the sincere Socialist estimated at tiMin. with the labor union voters allied wltn them estimated at $040. and the liberal elements at $000. the Socialist ticket was able to cast Z0.000 vote at the primary election October $1. At the same election the good gov ernment organization was able to cast but 1T.0OO for Mayor Alexander and his ticket. A third candlriate. W. C. Mushet. received $000. Of this a large proportion Is Irreconcilable with the Alexander administration, and another part belong to the liberal element, which will probably swing Into the Harrlman organisation.
