SOCIALISTS SHOW STRENGTHRegulars Hold to Kicking G�e­Long Signal Drill PerfectsTeam Formations."Heavy signal work, light scrim­mage and wind sprints was. the orderof yesterday's practice on" Marshallfield. \Vith the plan of perfectingthe plays already given to the teamand saving special formations ,for theIllinois game, Coach Stagg expectsto keep the team hard at work.The scrimmage yesterday resultedin one lone touchdown, Sauer beingshoved over after several good rushesof the Varsity hacks. The regularswere held in to a kicking- game hyStagg's orders and did not attemptto score until the last. No goal kickwas attempted.The practice developed the factthat tackling must be emphasized "allweek if the team hopes to make acreditable showing in this departmentagainst Purdue. Long runs by theFreshmen showed "Saturday's tack­ling weakness stiltcontinues. Inter­ference will also come in for its shareof attention. With improved tack­ling. improved interference, aridfumbling lessened, chances forcleaner and more satisfactory foot­ball will be greatly improved. Andthis will of itself mean a good record-.for the season.Pardue Is Hopeful.The Purdue defeat Saturday ·byWabash made the fifth time in thepast five years that the Boilermakershave been forced to bow before theLittle Giants. There seems to 'be ahoodoo hanging over the team atLafayette. Pat Page saw the gameand reports the team to be strongerthan the score would indicate. Ath­letic Director Nicol of Purdue hasadvised Mr. Stagg that Purdue root­ers will make ul> an exearsion trainto Chicago Saturday and asks for1,000 seats. The Purdue military bandwill accompany the team. Mr. Nicolwrites. "Purdue will be there in forceand will bring a whole lot of" confi­dence. I n spite of our defeat "byWabash last Saturday, we witl makeChicago touch the high places if theyexpect to get our scalps,"It is likely that Coach Stagg wi11keep many of the regulars out of the.garne. The Illinois game wilt de­cide Chicago's chances to remain inthe running for the Conference Cham":pionship and the regulars will 'besaved all possible chance of injury.All of the substitutes will probablyget in to show their' ability. Lawlorwill be given a good try out at quar­ter, Fitzpatrick, Walker, Goddard,Canning. Sellers, Kennedy, and oth­ers who are fighting for positions willalso get in.Cheering to Be Improved.Steps will be taken by Cheer Lead­er Paul Gardner this week to perfectthe rooting. It is felt that the lackof concerted cheering can be reme­died by system in the leading andnew men will be tried out this week.\Vhile Saturday's game developed afair amount of Maroon noise, the In­diana supporters gave Chicago a closerun for honors and Chicago cannotafford to permit Purdue to lead inthis respect, especially with the gameon the home field.Author Describes Methods Used inDetermining Exact Power of Par­ty in Country.A study of socialism in the UnitedStates at present is the context ofthe article in the latest number ofthe Journal of Political Economy byProfessor Robert F. Hoxie, of thepolitical science department. In hispaper Pr of c s sor Hoxie attempts tofind out the exact amount of influ­ence that socialism as a creed exertsin the election of so many office hold­ers in the country at the present time.and what other influences have be-enbrought to bear in these elections.Mr. Hoxie predicts that the unex­pected strength of the socialists intimes of peace and quiet foretells thefuture consequence of the party in theUnited States.After enumerating the various so­cialistic office holders and finding outwho they were, he sent out lettersto all kinds of people of all partiesin the several socialistic communitiesand compiled ,his paper on the an­swers received to the question:"What is the inner nature of thistriumphant Socialism?" and "Werea major ity of these office holders ac­tually elected on a socialist ticket anda socialist platform?"Reasons for Success.Prominent ��ong anti-socialisticexplanations, according to Mr. Hoxie,are the present evil state of city gov­ernment, ring rule for control of of­fice, unequal distribution of taxes, in­fluence of foreign element in our pop­ulation, the growing strength of tradeunions, high prices of food, politicaldiscontent and the several local con­ditions, such as local option issues,city indebtedness, etc."In the majority of cases,' saysProfesor Hoxie, "socialistic doctrinesand agitations do not rank as essen­tial factors. In the course of this in­vestigation enough reliable informa­tion was obtained in regard to forty­two representative localities to allowof fairly positive generalizations. Inregard to these cases the followingstatements may be made. In not morethan sixteen of them was socialismthe sole or predominant issue, and inthese long-continued organization,education an dagitation figured inmore than eleven. Not one was foundin which socialism of the ultra-radicaltype could be proved to be the mainissue. The nearest approach to thissituation occurred in some of themining towns, in two or three citieswhere industrial conditions were tem­porarily bad or labor contests wereon, and, curiously enough. in one ortwo little places in the 'bush' wheresocialism was apparently 'the newthing.'Socialism is Strong.Mr. Hoxie, in conclusion, declaresthat rite does not intend to make lightof socialism. He characterizes themovement as young, vigorous, demo­cratic and as being certain of successin the future insofar as it will estab­lish democracy more firmly in theUnited States.Assistant Professor Hoxie tookhis bachelor degree at the Universityof Chicago in 1893. He taught inCornell and Washington and Lee uni­versity before becoming a fellow atthis university in 1903. He was madeassistant professor of political econ­omy in 1908.•Ilt......THE DAILY MAROON' . *"::1The Alpha Delts 'had an informalhouse dance last Friday night.
