But when. indeed. that storm cloud rises

Workingmen's Club

RALLY IN LABOR HEADQUARTERS.
Candidates Pierce and La

the Speakers.

The lasts shot in the battle for NUM-
cipal honors will be fired by the candi-
dates of the Workingmen's club in La
Dor headquarters this afternoon. Since
the beginning Of the campaign there
has been a healthy growth in the mem
bershlp of the club, and although there
has not been a general scramble of vot-
ers to get into the ranks of the Work
ingmen's club movement, the outlook,
according to J. D. Pierce, candidate for
alderman is not discouraging.
The clubs speakers have hurled a
generous amount of criticism at the al
dermen who took firm stand upon the
eight-hour question, and refused to al
low it to be submitted to the voters, but
attacks on a personal basis have not
been made. MIR. Pierce told The spy
man recently that he considered ms
chances of election more than a mere
possibility. He believes that men VINO
have voted independently in munlclpal
elections will support the clubs candl-
date despite statements of leaders OF
political parties to the effect that there
will be no boilers.

They are the only people in the
