LABOR UNION TEN:
Republicans VIII Attempt to Carry
on CAMPAIGN Work Among Them.


on CAMPAIGN Work Among Them.
CHICAGO, Aug. 12.-Republican cam
paign work among labor union men
will be carried on directly by labor
representatives from Republican ma
tional headquarters. On this subject
Chairman Hanna said today to a rep
resentative of the United Associated
Presses: THE laboring element who
are working in the interest of the Re
publican ticket will be allowed to con-
duct their own campaign by their own
methods, and to dictate their own pol
icy. They will receive Che cooperation
of the national committee and accom-
mediation and assistance at these head
quarters. While strongly approving
the individual plans of employers to
supply their men with all facilities to
be informed how to vote for their best
interests, it is my purpose to reach
these employees through the labor or
ganization l have mentioned. We will
not do labor campaign work through
employers at all. We shall deal direct
with the men because we can get more
out of them that way. The astonish-
ing feature of this campaign is the
great demand of the people to be en-
lightened by all kinds of literature. 1t
augurs well for our success. The next
thirty days Will be campaign OF
printed matter, and after that hosts of
speakers will take the St. Louis plat
form for their text and give the pro-
lection and money ~planks equal prom
inence."

publican state convention. called to
nominate candidates for Congress. the
Supreme court and the presidential
electors for Wyoming, convened this
morning in this city, but was forced to
adjourn tonight until tomorrow, with
out accom- lisihing any work beyond
making a permanent organization, be-
cause of the failure of Che committee
on resolutions to make a report on the
financial issues. An interesting hitch
in the proceedings took place early in
the day when a delegation from Uinta
county, representing the Bryan and
Sewall Republicans of that county,
claimed seats in the convention. A
contending Mckinley delegation, how
ever, was seated, the leader of the
Bryan delegation protesting as he left
the convention in the name OF the re
publicans of Uinta county against the
action of the convention. During the
recess of the afternoon district conven-
tions were held and Judicial candidates
nominated. They are:
Richard H. Scott, Laramie county,
first district; NJ. G. Brown, Albany, sec
ond district; E. e. Enterine, SweetWa-
ter county, third district.
A night session OF the convention was
held and the report of the committee
on resolutions was awaited until $3.50
O o'clock, at that time the committee sent
word that no report could be made to-
night and the convention adjourned I'M
til 10 o'clock tomorrow The hitch in the
committee is on the question of adopt
ing the financial plank of the st Louis
platform. or affirming the free silver
plank of the last two state conven-
tons. or the adoption of a compromise
financial platform.
