Socialism Defeated in Los Angeles
By Editor
As we go to press the news comes of the overwhelming defeat of Socialism in Los Angeles. The women doubtless helped to do it, and the McNamara confessions did their part. Many labor leaders have truly said that the guilt of the McNamaras would be a blow to labor unions, and labor unions and Socialism are in many cases, in the public mind, at least, one. The estimated vote is: Alexander (reformer), 100,000; Harriman (Socialist), 49,000. It is too bad that prohibition was defeated. Where were the women and Christian men? Attention is called to the beautiful poem on our first page, "Immanuel." We could not use it all there to good advantage. One stanza of it will be found in our Home and Fireside department, where it is used to embellish the story which reached us just in time for this issue.
