Is dally gaining In strength, and this
has made a republican victory more
certain than ever. The republicans

MOST UNIQUE CASE

Candidate of Radical Socialists In Ne

' World nrurs WUlo of, the Proxy
Man.
New York, Sept 24. An unique
figure In the present presidential cam
paign is August' Gilhaus, who Is seek
ing to go to the White House as pres
ident by proxy for Martin R. Preston,
now serving a 25-year sentence in a
Nevada prison. Preston was nominat
ed by the socialist labor party an or
ganization entirely distinct and much
more radical in its tenets than the
more important party headed by Eu
gene V. Debs but by advice of attor
neys refused the honor. Gilhaus, a
New Tork civil engineer, was then
selected as Preston's proxy, and Is
now engaged In carrying on his novel
campaign. 1
Although the socialist labor party
has been reduced to a mere handful In
numbers. It Is still sufficiently strong
to support a dully paper In thin city.
The real head of tho party Is Daniel
Do Leon, a South -American by birth,
and formerly a college professor by(
profesplon. While a man of wide
scholarship and quiet in his personal
demeanor, .Do Leon Is far more' revo
lutionary In his doctrines than Debs'
or any of the leaders Of the orthodox
socialist party.
Gilhaus, the proxy presidential nom
inee, has for months spent his entire
time In pushing his candidacy, n!
though little Is heard of him by the
public at large, lie has no "red spe
cial" In which to travel abo-tt the
country, but does most of his cam
paigning In the slums of Kn;it ell'. ,
where he appeals' In rou;;h but fj.ee
ful language to tl.u pulsion of the
world's dlslnheriti'd. Y;t, despite Ms
rndlcallsm, he U wi!,-rend and philo

of a wjlllp-j martyr to a cause he
deems sacred.
Twenty years ago riilhnus was a sta
tionary engineer In New York City,
according to .his story, . working for
wages, living a band-lo-mouth flxst

of the philosophical German that In

ulative doctrines. One winter In Now
Tork changed the course of his life.
He went to hear Henry George In a
campaign speech, fell under the Influ

The answer to his telegraphed demanl

night, and Roosevelt-llke, was concise,
convincing and fruit-bearing. The;

Roosevjlt precipitating . the ., lengths

to comment on the answer now, but
stated he might find answers to Roose

for Cincinnati.
Haskell Seems Eliminated
It seems certain today that Gover
nor Haskell will be eliminated from,
the graft charges. It Is openly assert

eliminated before, but Influential dem
