FOR THE LEGISLATURE:

The above are the nominees of the
reform ticket for the Legislature from
this county.
The workingmen can. rest assured
that if they are elected it will not be
necessary to send large delegations to
st. Paul, at a great cost, for the pur-
pose of preventing anti-la Dor legisla-
ton.
Nearly all of the candidates are we'll
known citizens. L.-aa
Samuel F. Snive1y.
Mr.. Snively's activity in questions
touching the welfare of our city and
county are well-known to the people of
this city, and entitle him to a generous
portion of their confidence and graft
tude. z&A
When those who attempted to un-
justly profit at the expense of the pub
lie succeeded in getting control of the
machinery of this party Or that party
to further their ends, Mr.. Snively never
hesitated to act Independently Of
party, for what he felt to be right.
While Mr.. Snively has given gener-
ously of his time, his energy and his
money and fought stubbornly for the
peoples interest, no one has ever heard
him claim credit for it, for he always
was giving the credit to others, and in
this he never forgot to mention the men
who lived in modest houses and toiled
for their daily bread
In proof Of the above, we here give a
portion of an interview Of the Evening
Herald of January 9th, 1900, with Mr..
Snively:
. In speaking Of the combat with the
old gas and water company Mr.. Snively
then said II occupied a position in
this combat that qualities me to state
that to the man who lives in a humble
home and tolls for his daily bread is
due great credit for the rightful solu-
ton Of this question.
The contribution of from 25 cents, so
cents and upwards, as we'll as Of his
own voice and vote gave evidence of
his loyalty to his city and his neighbor,
apart from any hope Of recognition,
politically or otherwist"
Mr.. Snively has agreed to become a
candidate for the legislature only after
repeated and urgent requests, and the
Labor World hopes that the voters of
the 50th legislative district will not pass
unnOticed this first opportunity to re-
ward Mr. Snively by giving him their
vote and their influence.
If we can't lay aside our party pre-
judices and show the man who has
risen above party to do good for us,
hor hot ind ;,
man to sacrifice for his fellow man as
Mr.. Snively has done. .< s......
So when on the ballot you come to
the legislative ticket, put your cross
opposite his name, and when you have
elected him you will find that you have
a, man in the legislature whom party
ism, bigotry Or prejudice cannot severe
from the right. - : s. - -,
Samuel NJ. Kelley.
AS might be expected we are more
than interested in the election of S. NJ.
KELLEY to the legislature, for many
sound and iustifiable reasons: because
many years of association With him in
the labor cause has proved him to be
man one can trust in anything. where
labor>interests are at stake: a man who
can be relied upon to do his best for
the advancement of workingmen. skill
ed or unskilled. :.:. ae.@
Mr.. Kelley did not claim a nomina-
ton because he was a prominent labor
worker, but because. his party owed
him that .recognition,@ and if a mere
political party recognizes that aim
and gives him that recognition, in what
way should workingmen repay the OBJ
legations and respect they owe him?
The only way workingmen can show
their gratitude to Mr.. Kelley is by vot-
ing for him on election day, thereby
proving that they are not unmindful Of
what he did for them when they re-
Quired his help. Now. then. like other
candidates, his name is before the peo-
pie, it might be just as we'll to tell who
and what he is.
He was born in ZaneSVille Ohio
January Is. 1916, and is 54 years of age
He is a battle-scarred veteran of the
civil war. and served in every engage
ment of the old Wisconsin Eagles from
Island No 10 to Mobile. Mr.. Kelley
was in the thickest of the fray at Vicks
burg, and to use his own expression,
he says: 1T was the hottest day he
ever saw in his life He served under
Gen. Banks, on what the Confederates
called Banks cotton raid,' up the Red
river He was made a prisoners of-war
under Cen Pricein Missouri, but es-
capped in eight. hours to the northern
lines Just twenty miles away.
