Now is the time for all young Socialists to build up the Young Socialist movement. There was never a time so propitious for Socialist work as today. There never was a time when Socialism was more in the" air than it is today. The principal pastime of our "betters" today is to lie about Socialism. Teachers are instructed by their superiors that it is part of their business to lie about Socialism. In New York and no doubt in many other places a pledge not to join tho Socialist movement 13 exacted from the pupils before they are permitted to graduate from high school. This lying and misrepresentation is nothing new. Socialists are used to it. In the past, there was a very powerful man m another country who denounced all Socialists as "rascals without loyalty to their country." This was the late ,unlamented Kaiser. And all other powerful rulers said "amen." Certain gentlemen have been employed for many years in systematically lying and misrepresenting Socialism .'before .-whatever audiences that would take the trouble iTIIsliao'triem. Those renegades who are now widely praised by the reptile press as "real Socialists, who could not. bear the Socialist party," used to be denounced as wild men, as liars, as destroyers of the home and the state by the same agencies that now use praise for them as an excuse to assault tne socialist movement. The assault on Socialism now has become a thousand-fold more venomous than it was when the only professional anti-socialists were Peter Collins and David Goldstein and a few other K. C. members. ' The reason is, of course, the tremendous impetus given Socialism by the events of the last few years.

' 'MILWAUKEE (From P. 1, Col. 1.) day, on failing to locate their polling places and finding their old places closed for them, went home in disgust without attempting to locate their proper places, the nonpartisans being the heavy losers because of this confusion. Leads in 19 Wards, The 19 wards in which Hoan led the field were the Second, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth, Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Seven teenth, Nineteenth, Twentieth, Twentv-first. Twenty-second, Twenty-third, Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth, Hampel and Spaeth carried thQ Eighteenth ward in which Henry w Schroeder, Socialist candidate for alderman, was eliminated. The other two wards in which Socialist candidates were eliminated are the First and the Sixteenth. Jacob F. priedrick in the First ward, received 212 votes and Edwin Schendel in the Sixteenth 205. clean pluralities were given the Socialists in 13 wards, the Fifth, Seventh, Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth, Thirteenth, Seventeenth, Twentieth, Twentyfirst, Twenty-third, Twentyfourth and Twenty-fifth. Socialists nominated 22 out of i25 candidates for alderman in the primary election Tuesday. The nonpartisans, were furjniehed a. surprise. .in the Fourth ward where for the first time in the ward's history a Socialist candidate was nominated to oppose a nonpartisan in the final contest. John O. Steffen received 221 votes, Paddy G. Dorrell 110, Milton Murray 155 and John Koerner, incumbent 908. Another big surprise for the nonpartisan3 was the vote in the Eighth and the Fourteenth ward3, where both nonpartisan incumbents, A. S. Baranowski, of the Eighthf and Anton j. Lukaszewicz of the Fourteenth, were eiiminated. In both wards, as in tne Fourth, Socialist candidates will enter the final contest fQT Q first time, Jn the 191B priniar3r Brzezingki Socialist, was eliminated, as was Leo Krzycki, Socialist candidate in the Fourteenth ward. Both wards are settled largely by citizens of Polish descent, the nomination of two Socialist ca31ciidates being an indication of the chanse of sentiment among 1,273. Gauer Runs WelL In the Seventeenth, Paul Gauer, Socialist, obtained almost as many votes as his nonpartisan opponents combined, including George C-Campbell, incumbent, who received only 811. Gauer's total was 1,157. , Lyman Browne, in the Twentyfifth received only 190 votes against Charles C. Schad, Socialist incumbent, who was" given 2,218. " In the Nineteenth, F. J.

Adolph Harrer, Socialist, waa nominated for supervisor in' the Thirteenth district, receiving C9I votes as compared with 879 votes for his opponent, Stephen A. Wanta. Here another surprise was furnished the nonpartisans, Supervisor Albert Froede, who represented the district for years being eliminated. He received 501 votes, 100 less than the Socialist candidate. In the Eighteenth and Nineteenth the Socialist candidates were eliminated, William Connolly in the Nineteenth being about 150 behind John J. Mulhaney, who will oppose Benjamin Baden, incumbent, in the April 6 election. A. W. Foster and M. H. Bird, nonpartisan, will run in the final contest in the Eighteenth district. There was no primary for supervisor in the First, Third, Fifth, Seventh, Ninth, Eleventh, Fifteenth and Seventeenth districts, there being only two candidates in each of these districts. Racine, Wis. The Socialist vote in Tuesday's primary election in Racine was the heaviest ever polled here, having increased from 700 in 1918 to over 1,200. Many of the Socialist candidates go on the ballot for April 6. . Edward Hilker, president of the common council, on whom a fight was made by the women of his ward because of his alleged driving out of a teacher in the Jefferson St. school, received a 2 to 1 vote over his opponent.

Estimating the results of the work accomplished, we must

But during the eight months of work in this direction, all the elements for it3 organization have been accumulated. We have strengthened our position in regard to supplies, having been enabled not only to equip more efficiently the Soviet estates (2,524) already included in our system of organization, but also to nationalize, during the season of 1920, 1,012 additional Soviet estates, with an area of 972,674 desyatins. The combined area of the nationalized enterprises will probably amount in 1920 to about 2,000,000 desyatins within the boundaries of the present Soviet territory. A preliminary familiarity with individual estates and with agricultural regions makes it possible to begin the preparation of a national plan for production on the Soviet estates, and for a systematic attempt to meet the manifold demands made on the nationalized estates by the agricultural industries: sugar, distilling, chemical, etc., as well as by the country's need for stock breeding, seeds, planting and other raw materials. The greatest difficulties arise in the creation of the machinery of organization. The shortage of agricultural experts is being replenished with great difficulty, for the position of the technical personnel of the Soviet estates, due to their weak political organization, is extremely unstable. The mobilization of the proletarian forces for the work in the Soviet estates gives us ground to believe that in this respect the spring of 1920 will find us sufficiently prepared. The ranks of proletarian workers in the Soviet estates are drawing together. True, the level of their enlightenment is by no means high, but "in union there is strength" and this force if properly utilized will rapidly yield positive results. In order to complete the picture of the agricultural work for the past year we are citing the following figures: the total expenditures incurred on the Soviet estates and on account of their administration up to January 1, 1920, is estimated, to amount to 924,347,500 roubles. The income, if the products of the Soviet estates are considered atj firm prices, amounts to 843,372,343 roubles. Thus, the first, the most difficult year has ended without a deficit if one excludes a part of the liabilities which are to be met during a number of years (the horses and implements) . Of course, it is not the particular experience which the workers possess that has caused the favorable balance of the Soviet estates, this being mainly due to the fact that the productive work in the realm of agriculture under modern conditions is a business not liable to loss. And thi3 is natural ; industry in all its forms depends upon the supply of fuel, raw material and food. Nationalized rural economy has an inexhaustible supply of solar energy a fuel supply independent of transportation or the blockade. The fundamental element of production land does not demand any "colonial" means of restoration of its productivity. And . as to provisions. This we get from the earth under the sun! 7'"iiTfer eiht' months of work on the nationalization of our rural economy, as a result of two years. of titanic struggle on the part of the proletariat for the right to organize the Socialist industries with its own hands, is it not high time to admit that the most expedient, most far-sighted, and correct method to stabilize the Soviet power would' be to use the greatest number of organized proletrian forces for the work of nationalizing our agriculture?

SOCIALISTS. (From P. 1, Col. 6.) sider the calamity of a Socialist victory. Not only has it been suggested that in certain districts the Unionists and Republicans unite in the support of the same candidates, but it has even suggested that the two parties unite in the next campaign in pledging themselves to an aggressive and constructive program which will not end. with the mere passage of law3, but .will also provide ample government machinery and support for a determined betterment of the vast majority of the people of the island. The political situation was chiefly brought to a head by the unpleasant condition which Messrs. Brady and McAndrew discovered and to which they gave much publicity. Both of the older party leaders are firm in their belief that the last cane strike was not merely a fight to get better wages but a part of the political program of Santiago Iglesias to extend the influence of the Socialist party in the island. And they admit 'that the Iglesias program was successful in accomplishing both of its aims. Talks with Unionists leaders indicate that they are convinced that after the next election the party will pass from the control of the legislature. The only possible hope they see in saving the legislature from Socialist control is a union by the Unionists and Republicans in the cuppcrt
