ON THE LIQUOR
vote for debs
FALLS SHORT
Not Over Half Million in
in Entire Country Instead
01 Million Expected
CIIK'ACIO, Nov. 0. The socialist
vote In Tuesday's election showed ' a
great falling off from the record in
lltO-1 in tho three principnl cities of
tho country in w1iich sosialirnt is strong
est. Chicago soeinlisls who polled 45,-
000 votes in 1!HI4, were given less than
1-1,0110 votes ill tin- returns, and the
more sanguine do not expect that tho
totals will exceed 20,000 votes for Mr.
Delis. Cincinnati and Cleveland, also
listed as strong socialist centers, ac
cording to the leaders of the party, poll
il a grenliy decreased vote.
While admitting the adverse figures
tnibiv, A. M. Simons, member of the na
tioiinl coininiltee of the socialist party
asserted that an increase was shown in
the vote this vcar in tin' smnll towns.
Mr. Simons said:
"Mr. CompiTs influenced the labor
vote on which the socialist party do
ponds to a great extent. His words
mused iiiiiny thousands of semi-socialists
of radical views to vote for Mr.
Bryan and nlso frightened many conser
vative labor men into voting for Mr.
Taft. Wo arn particularly pleased with
results on the Pacific coast, whore au
increased vote was shown in ninny
towns. We hnve received word of gains
ill Texas towns, in Missouri nnd a few
towns in New York." ,
The total voto for Mr. Debs, it is es.
timated, will not exceed .'00.000, ill
place of the 1,0011,0110 which was pre
dicted bv enthusiastic socialists. He
received -10:1,(100 in 1004.
