Mr.. .EIklos' labOrers along the line OF
hts roa,I and that will influence them TO
vots FOR Mr.. Dayton, the man whom
M Flkins is running for Congress, II
h the. fact, that while they toll from
ann no untiI dark. either In the mine
or forest. at starvation wages, for him
10 6n his Golfers, he is riding about over
the state in his private palace car max
ing 9peeches and opening his Bari" to
dsfSst Hon. w. L. Wilson, the man
Who. above all other men, has labored
and sacrificed his time, talent, health
And came near loosing his life, to lift
khe burdens from the shoulders OF the
laboring mel Of this country.
Mr.. Elkins, by his actions, says that
the cars that We common people ride
in are not good enough for hlm. De Is
evidently afraid. II he gets ia another
car, he will have to rub pagGinst some
honest laborer. II there is man In the
State who has used his power, MS
money, time and Influence 70 Keep
doWn the prosperity that Is daWnlng
upon Us since the passage Of the wilson
bin, that man is Stephen b. ElKlnS ne
has reduced she wages OF part OF MS
men. He has shut other OF his WORKS
down. In other places be has put the
men on short time, everything lhui-
-. - 10 Il,
Above all is his going over this state
and wherever De can get small crown
together, for his crowds are always
small, he gets OF the calamity ho"i
20 perfection.
Every coal mine 10 this region IS run
ming contrary to law. Instead OF weigh
ing the coal as the law requires, as the
miners dig it, and paying them Ioi
every ton they dig, they dig ana HI
carts that the operators claim hold :
ten each, but which the miners say holo
very considerably more, paying ~ the
rate OF a ton per cart.
Some will say why do the miners per
init this? Why do they not KICK
Why don't they prosecute the compa
mics? Yes; why don't Mr.. ElKlns teal
down this great government OF our
and establish q throne and place MIN
self on il as king, as he would IKE u
do? Because be hasn't the power 10 Of
il. No, neither have the poor, homes
qaborers the power 70 prosecute.
II enc Of them opens bis mouth soou'
such things he takes very good chanc
OF being discharged, and possibly BLACK
listed so that be cannot get employ men
ARy where hereabouts. he will, togeth
ar with his wife and children, have 1
starye. They can't prosecute the com
pAnies for they have too much iRnuenc
with the officers OF the law, whose dut
a. is 10 see that the law is enforced. Il
the late strike officers OF tn
law. In order 10 stand
with the coal operators, went s
far out OF their way as to urge the DEP
mites forward with their Winchester
10 nut 40 end to the strife, when IL wa
their plain and sworn duty TO enforc
the laws and make the operators q
lust Wat the strikers were contenoln
for. But above and beyond all I'M
Republican politicians, with money II
vested 10 protected Industries, are tryln
10 take the last and greatestPrlVlleg
from their employees by trying 20 kee
them from going TO the polls and cast
ing their votes as they please and 10
whom they please.
.SAat is to become Of this country
We can'Tsay Tree people, II such Prat
tees are TO be permitted. No wdnde
the fathers OF our country looked viz
fear and trembling 10 our future. Dhei
predictions are coming true.
