THE RAILROAD MEN DID 1T.
st. Paul, Nov. 1O.--Commentlng on the
result of the recent election in Iowa, a
local railroad publication declares it was
largely due to the railroad employees vote.
Let there be no Mistakes" it adds; cor
porations were not in the fight. Railroad
employees of the state of Iowa would con-
troll, if united, not less than $4,000 votes.
They are not yet united, but they are
sufficiently so to turn 10000 Or 90, 900 votes
nd 10 ha 20 .,lno Thn
power which has been put forward in
Iowa has exerted Itself so silently and
with so little movement that no one, not
n the secret has known OF its existence.
Railway employees have awakened to a
of their own strength. They
lave learned that their cause is not the
cause, and that they have moth
ng to gain and everything to lose by the
% icy of oppression of companies from
whom they get their work, their salaries
md their bread and butter. Republican
SIN and Democracy, in the abstract, have
10 interest for them. They are not swayed
~ party motives, and are no more under |
he leadership of party bosses than of
but whatever the party may |
,e or whoever the man may be that strikes
It their very means of living, that party
# that man will feel the weight of their
nmity at the polls. The great counter
'alance, long needed, to the granger vote
as been found. 1t is the vote of organ
zed railroad men,
