The workingman's advocate. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1864-1877, 1876-10-14

lug" " oRkINGMEN NOMINEE. To day
feace at the head of our columns the
ana -tAe candidates for the State Senate
1 Legislature, who have received the en-
dorsement Of the workingmen Of Chicago
They are genuine representatives, of labor's
interests, and we trust the workingmen Of
Chicago and vicinity will take interest
enough III the contest to put their shoulders
to the wheel, and help to place them at the
head Of the polls. They are able to do so,
and it will be their own fault if they fail in
their endeavor. Let them remember that
growing after election will do no good. If
they 50 will, they have the power 10 elect
every representative nominated, 50 that they
can rest assured their special interests will
not be ignored in the next session of the
Legislature.
