'
Seated in a semicircle around Sey
mour Stedman, defense counsel, and
Algernon I,ce, of the Socialist state
committee, a witness, the Assembly
judiciary ewnmittee heard read into the
record what may be described ns "a
general history of Socialism from 1SGI
ot 1020."
In quizzing his "pupil" Air. Sted- 1
man drew from Mr. Lee differentiations
between socialistic and anarchistic doe- i
trines.; uames of leaders in both move- '
ments and n history of the development I
of socialism in T.uropc, with special
reference to Russia. J
Assemblyman Louis A. Cuvillier, a.
committee member, asked if it were uot !
true that German money had been paid
T.enine and Trotzky to overthrow the
Kerenskv Government. When Sir. T.ee
rclipd in the negative. Mr. Ouvillipr
rontra,Hcted him. snung he "had it on1
the authority of tho State Department.''
It was brought out that proceedings
, rexoko the charter of the Anvnean
Socialist Society after its conviction in
connection with publication of a book
by Scott Ncariug, had been dismissed.
"not on merits, but because the at
torncy general's office was not ready to
proceed. The defense showed, however,
that a motion to reopen tne proceeamRs
had been denied. The society operates
the Hand School of Social Science, ot
which Mr. Iec is educational director.
Cross-examined, Mr. I.ee described
the workings of Internationales he had
attended and dt lined bolsheuks as the
"majority" and menshevikh as the
"minority." In reply to a question
from the committee he denied that the
fotmer could be defined as those who
wished to overthrow government by
force and the latter as those who did
not.

Mr. Idoyd. who urged every Iioiisp
liecper to keep a budget and to save on
the nonessentials.
Following Mr. I.loyd. Mrs. Henry D.

said that all the clubs seemed to' have
the idea that the thrift movement did
not belong to them.
"Women hate the word 'Thrift.' AVe
all think that we nre thrifty, because
we believed our mothers were thrifty.
I5ut the same ideas which were real
thrift ideas learned in the war should
be used now in an effort to create u

FACE BITTER FIGHT
Dologation to Harrisburg Likely

paign, Opening Tonight '
DECISION IN MAY PRIMARIES
The same forces that conquered the
Vare organization at the September
primaries last year nre preparing to
upset the Vare legislative majority from
this city nt the May primaries.
At. the last session of the Legislature
the Vares controlled thirty-one of the
forty-one Philadelphia members of the
Stntn House of Reproscntnthe and five
of the eight Philadelphia members of the
Senate.
As important legislation affecting this
city will come up in the next legis
lature, Moore supporters arc getting
ready to upset the Varo majority at
Harrisburc just as Vare control wns
pried off this municipal gov erumect here:
i The fight ngalnst the Vare legislators
will be started tonight by the Twenty
sixth ward Republican Alliance, which
will bold a big rally in the ward to
night. The state senators whose terms ex-
1 pire this year are Edwin II, Vare, First
district: William J. McNichol. Third
district; David Martin. Fifth District,
and Augustus F. Daix, Jr. Seventh
.district.
I The re-election of Senator Vare is
virtually conceded. although Alliance
lenders assert bis old-time majority will
be cut. Senator Martin, once the all
powerful city leader of the orcanizatinn
and now chieftain of the Nineteenth I
ward, is about to step' out of the arena, i
Alliance men arc preparing to put
up a strong candidate against one se
lectcd by Martin and David II. Lane for
the Martin toga. It is' believed the
Vare organization will lose the state
senatorsbip from the Fifth district.
