VINCENT EXPLAINS CANDIDATE FOR MAYOB ON THE SOCIALIST TICKET MAKES STATEMENT.

Rohert Vincent, the nominee of the Socialists for Mayor of Oakland, la a. deep thinker and a faithful' student of political economy. In the course of an in terview with a represents! tive of T11K TRIBUNE. Mr. Vincent waa asked why he was a He replied: 'U am a Socialist because I believe that all human beings should have ti f.iir chance to make the most of themselves.

This. chance will always be denied to a large majority under'a competitive system, With the sources of wealth monopolized by a few private owners." "Do you Soclal.sts believe that all the nation's wealth should be equally divided, or that all wealth. Including homes and personal necessaries, should be owned by the public?" was asked. "Socialists believe neither the one nor the other," replied Vincent. "The Socialist party Is not a dtviding-up party.

There is too much division now, and It does not do justice to most people. Socialists don't believe in small plants. The larRer the plant the greater the economy In production and distribution, the lew) labor required, the more leisure for the, workers, providing all the means of production and distribution, including- land, factories, workshops, stores, railroads, and alt so-called public utilities were owned by people tlvely. Every adult should be guaranteed the chance to do his or her share the necessary" labor, and the certainty of receiving his or her share of the social product. This share of the product Would bo the worker's wage under socialism, to dispose of to suit himself.

He could build and furnish a home, buy food, clothing, books, music, pictures, an automobile whatever each person thinks necessary for his -Comfort and convenience and these things would be his own private property, tjnly the productive land and. capital would be publicly owned under Socialism. The last census showed thit the average annual product of eacn was worth njearly $2. BOO, hut his average annual wage was only about $440. Under Socialism, his' wage would equal hia product, or $2.

BOO. instead of J440. In a few word3 I have given you the essence of Socialist belief." "But you don't conduct your own business on the Socialist plan," was sug-rnared "I can't; no man can." declared Vincent. "1 am doing business under the competitive system and must follow the custom whether it suits me or not or else go out. of business and take my chance of getting a living by wage work.

However, I employ onlv union help, pay the best wages In mv line, and give mv tmpldyes, a percentage of the profits. That is the -best any man can do under competition. Things will be! done better when the workers wise enough to vote for a better system." Replying to the statement that the municipal platform --of the Socialist party ooes rot aeciare ror-ino municipal ownership of the water M. Vincent aid: "Our platform endorses the program of International Socialism, which declares for the public ownership of all public Utilities and all the means of producing distributing wealth. Wherever the ociallsts are in power they move as rapidly as possible towarfl that end, but tlvay never waste, the energies of a cam-cairn over some simple local issues nni thus divert attention from the main issue." "Do Socialists believe.

In low tayes?" was asked. "No: Socialists believe In hothir of FUSION Linen Napkins, regular S1.75 $1.48 doz-n CASH. E35 ie.hSri'-" wa8T the reP''- We leave that Prty' Aoesa't uruiei stand the economic Question, nor elaon the working class to tax-fj stood for )ow es last scrim? that P'atform this ux Party is a liberal tax party. Socialists believe in -tine streets and bridges and up-to-date sewer systems, good parks and play-grounds for children substantial public buildings, fine school houses, well furnished, and good wages for teachers and other public servants. These things and low taxes don't go together.

Low taxes mean limited idle workers, a crowded labor market and low wage. Besides, a true labor- party will concern itself with servmg the comfort and convenience of the puohc and in providing employment' for the unemployed, Instead of using Its votes to lower the taxes of the capitalist ciass, which by the- last census possessed ninety-six per cent of the nation wealth, leaving only four per cent to the wage-working class." "But is it fair, Mr. Vincent, for a party-composed of wage-workers, your own showing, possess but little, to 'ote taxes upon thosewho happen to wealth?" was asked. He replied: "We need the Improvements, do we not. for the comfort and convenience of' the public? And who should pay for thorn if not the people who possess the wealth? Further, isn't it better to have all our people employed at good wages than to have them idle and poverty-stricken, while public improvements lag and the rich escape with a tax? Besides, you make the mistake of inferring that Socialists are all without property.

The Socialist party, like all political parties, has a majority composed of wage-workers, but I can name several Socialists in thi.s county who are worth from $25,000 up to a quarter of a million eacn- I have considerable taxable property myself. But all Socialists; rich or poor, vote for a program that has for its central purpose the emancipation of the wage-working class from a condition of economic dependence upon another class, and in the mean time improving the living condition of the workers when ever possible, and we are willing to pay our slts-ro of taxes to carry out our plan, and want others to do the same. would have the municipality do everything for the people that could be done coliectirely better than by private enterprise. For instance, the city supports a fire department to protect the interests which private insurance corporations have in property owned bv individuals, for that is what it amounts to. Jf there were no fire department, there would be no Insurance.

Let the city insure the individual's property and use to maintain the fire department the profits that now go to enrich private insurance companies, and appropriate for other public improvements the fund that is now used to maintain the, fire department." "But how about municipal meat markets. Mr. Vincent? That's ffiyour own line," was the next suggestion "The municipality can furnish meat or any other food supply much better and cheaper than It can possibly, be donerTjy a private individual or corporation." declared Vincent. "I am ready to give up my private business when ever the -people1 decide by vote to give themselves the best possible service. When that, time comes I will get the good service with the rest, together with an- equal opportunity to procure a comfortable living." "Why is it that your municipal platform says nothing whatever about improving our public schools?" was asked.

"We leave all local talk on that subject to the people whose past votes are responsible for the present Condition of our schools." was the reply. I "The general plan of Socialism, which we endorse, demands the abolition of child labor and the education of every" child, furnishing books free, also food and clothing when necessary. Although the schools of Oakland are today overcrowded for lack of sufficient school buildings, still the Socialists know that that Is not the main reason why 4000 children of school age are out of school In this city. The main reason is that the parents need the children's labor to eke out a miserable income. Socialists would make it possible for the parents to support the children In comfort and, at the same time, provide schools and teachers for the children's education." Mr.

The Sunset Mills will make a specialty of "Nutro" rolled oats and wheat, articles of food which they claim are unequaled and are bound to become very popular, as there is merit in every' grain of these cereals. The Sunset Mills supply the trade only and the business of the San Francisco mills extends in all directions in; this The Oakland mill will make a bid for Alameda courity patronage, and will undoubtedly meet with the success they anticipate and deserve. The principal articles to be manufactured are: Corn m-al, buckwheat f.our, cracked wheat, flaked wheat, graham floor, out meal, rye flour, rye meal, rolled oats and whole wheat flour. The very' latest machinery has -been put in these mills, and everything is modern in the manner in which all the cereals are utilized in manufacture.

WHISKEY VS. COFFEE. A Woman Experiments. Some families have sad experiences with -whiskey. Frobably twice as many families' i have sickness and distress caused by coffee and the cause not suspected half the time.

A woman from Tacoma, says: "One of our family had become so ill that the doctor finally pronounced him incurable from enlarged liver. He recommended a sea voyage, which might prolong his life, but said It was only a question of time when he would die fsrfm the disease. "He was dreadfully, nervous, thin, cculd r.ot sleep at night, lost flesh-and strength daily and everything ho ate or drank soured on his stomach. He was so weak and faint he could hardly walk about. "I finally came to the conclusion that coffee made the mischief, so took coffee, 'away from him altogether and next morning gaye him Postum Food Coffee, He steadily began to get better and has never had a sour stomach from that time.

He now sleeps all night where he used to suffer the agonies of death. He has gained over twenty pounds and is well and strong. "My little toy was given coffee at an early age and he began to have spells of sickness at times. I did not suspect the trouble until my experience with Postum opened my eyes, then I took coffee away from him arid gave him Postum steadily. If you enouid see hirn now and see how well rnd strong he is you would not believe it was the same puny boy he was when he was drinking coffee.

"Art acquaintance of ours carried Postum with him to the gold fields- of Alaska. He says he met some men up there who had run out of Tostum and oould not drink coffee. They offered him as high as twenty dollars a pound for the Postum. He said. It was worth forty dollars a pound to him, for it gave him strength to endure the hardships and that he would not part with it at any price until he could get more, "Now about my own case.

I was a sick, nervous woman and did not suspect it was coffee, but from the experience I had gained about two years ago I quit coffee and took up Postum Food Coffee. My appetite improved. I can eat anything, have no indigestion, and have gained about forty pounds in the two years, know a man whose eyes were so affected by Coffee drinking that he wag going blind. The doctor suspected coffee to be the trouble and ordered him to qiiit and take on Postum Food Coffee. The change produced i great change in ha eyes.

He grsduail) got better and has now left off hia glasses altogether. He -would have been stone blind if ha had not quit coffee and taken up Postum."
