Socialist Vote Rising as Wealth Gap Grows
Professor Charles J. Bushnell warned that socialism could seize power as wealth concentrates among a few. He cited one twelfth of national wealth controlled by United States Steel directors and six men dominating railroads, while 10.9 million people remain in poverty and 4 million are paupers.

The piece notes rising socialist votes in Europe and predicts America may soon follow. Daisy Burhbark’s Ava daisy named official flower of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition.
