MASONIC HALL MEETING.
Senator Wisbard and Mr.. sulzer the Favorites
Among Number Of Speakers.

Masonic Hall was crowded last night
with representatives of union labor. the
occasion being addresses by members of
the Legislature. ID. f. Kennedy presided.
and in calling the meeting to order
said the time had been when the
workingmen called on Legislators before
election to make promises. But now, he
said, they called upon them to speak
after their records have been made. The
members of the Legislature pres
ent were Senators Wishard. CranOr
Suchanek, Farlow, Franks. Deery and Sui
ger. The speeches of Hench. FaflOw.
Franks, Stuart and Suchanek
had nothing of attractive mer-
1t or profit. being devoted to
ard made a very acceptable speech to the
audience ana was loudly cheered. MI.
Deery made detailed statement of what
labor Legislation had been Accomplished
and what had not. He was compelled to
confess that the latter class vas the larger.
MIR. SuIzer won much respect by his short
speech. He said he had voted for the meas
ures because of their being just. He lived
in q small town. he said, where labor or
CARNATIONS are not very strong. and had
neither been asked nor gwen pledges,
but proposed TO vote In such manner
as was consistent with justice and the
welfare of humanity. He sits in the Leg
islature, he said, next to the veteran labor
leader from south Bend. Mr.. Suchanek.
and they are in full accord on all matters.
with the exception that his friend from
South Bend thinks that all good things
must smanate from the Demo-
cratic party, while he is equal
ly convinced that nothing good can
come from any other source than the Re-
publican party, land So" said the speaker
Mr.. Suchanek's name is called before mine.
and never have to inquire any further on
ordinary legislation except that when
my friend votes aye invari-
ably vote nay. Great applause.
But on labor legislation 1t is different. /
then closely watch for what my friend
votes, and do in all matters of that kind
just as he does. as 1 know that he
has studied those questions and occu-
pies the right position on them" Mr.. Sui
ger said he had done ell he could to
bring his party to vote correctly on labor
legislation, and that results justified him
in asserting that his work had not been
done in vain.
