to organize it in order to compete With
organized capital. I believe in the
principles of arbitration and | believe
that arbitration is best met by organ

DO you think that eight hours
ought to be legal days work IN all
trades?'
Il believe that with the wonderful
progress made in labor-saving ma
chinery in time it will not be necessary
for the workers to labor even eight
hours | am q. strong believer in doing
everything possible for the laboring
man. Laws should be made to pro-
tect the workingmen wherever posi-
BILE. Capital can take care of itself.
am also a strong believer in the prin-
ciple that every person should have
ample time for recreation and study.
Which committee do you THINK
ought to run your campaign, the Nc
kinley committee or the Independent
Republican committed"
Mr.. Hoibrooll smiled. Il do not
know what will be DONE said he
Can you contribute, as silver man,
to a committee that will use it to
further the interests of McKinley?'
Il will not be able, l am afraid, to
contribute to any committee this year
as Should, was the reply, with smile
accompaniment. 1.-The committees are
not organized yet as they should be,
and at this time ] do not know what
l shall do l shall try, however, to do
the right thing"
HE VOTED WITH BRYAN.
Mr.. Holbrook again reverted to his
silver record and proudly announced
that he was a delegate to the trans
Mississippi congress held in st. Louis
~ <,1a I,
thirty solid votes for a resolution, Of
fered and advocated by William j.
Bryan, demanding the full and COM
plete restoration of silver without
waiting for the consent of any other
nation. Mr.. Holbrook is also president
of the Provo Bimetallic league, which
was organized in June, 1895.
MRS. HOLBRooK NOT IN POLL
TICS.
Mr.. Holbrook's wife is not in poll
ties. She is thoroughly domestic in
her tastes and finds the greatest hap
pineSs in assisting her husband in the
conduct of his business affairs and in
caring for her children, five in number
-four girls and one boy. In politics,
however, she is up-to-date, and gives
every indication in her conversation
that she is about as well posted on
current issues as her husband. She is
a daughter of Ira n. Hinkley, presi-
dent of the Willard county stake, and
has been a sharer in Mr.. Holbrook' s
joys and sorrows for many years.
She discussed her husbands candi-
dacy with me freely. L was very
much surprised said she, when he
was nominated. | never suspected
when he left home that he would re-
turn a nominee. L know that he did
not expect to be so honored, but now
that he is in the race 1 suppose we
will have to make the best of it. 1t
will be over soon. Am I a Democrat
No, am not; but my father and two
of my brothers are. Will l vote for
Mr.. Holbrook? Yes, I will have to do
that, for you know he has been great
favorite of mine for many years. 1
thought he was out of politics until
his nomination, and [ know he thought
the same; at least, he said he was out
of politics, but now he is in deeper
than ever"
OF one fact my interviews with Mr..
and Mrs. Holbrook made me certain.
That one fact is that in case of Mr..
Holbrook's defeat at the polls Hon. w.
H. King will not receive any warmer
congratulations than those Lafayette
Holbrook and his sensible wife will
extend to him.
