Dor costs nothing save asscant supply

are regulated only by their ability to
stand UP under fatigue and hardship.
As they break down under excessive
labor, towards the expiration Of their
terms their ranks are constantly re-
cruited by others. generally Of the me-
gro race, whose conviction for crime
means an increase in the states in
come, not burden onstaxpayers.
1t is with labor OF this class that the
free white labor OF the North. en-
ployed In coal mines. has to compete.
The price paid labor necessarily de-
ponds upon the price which can be re-
ceived for the product. In competition
with the convict slave tabor OF the
South the American born. the Irishman
and the weishman has in turn been
forced out OF the labor field in the coal

ceeded by the italians. the Slavs and
the Huns Yet the same competition
has kept down the profits of the coal
operators, notwithstanding the cheaper
labor which they have been compelled
to install.
1t Is In states which are absolutely
controlled by the Democratic party.
and in those states alone, that this In
famous system of contract convict la
Dor Is in force. The low wages and
the low standard OF living In the East
ern coal mines Is due to large extent
to this diabolic system, and the unfair
competition which results from It, The
bitterest enemies that the coal miners
of the United States have to night are
the Democratic legislators, in the DEM
ocratic states. who invented and who
keep in practice this system OF slave
labor In coal mines. There is the prop
err target for the attacks of organized
labor OF this country.

Why?

There are three men whose interest
in the present campaign In washington
Is immediate and vital. and whom the
fusIonist voters are expected to sup
port. These are Senator Turner. Gov.
Rogers and ex-Mayor Ronald. why
should any citizen OF this state vote
to advance the political fortunes Of
any Of them?
Senator Turner has worked and vot-
ed persistently in congress against the
interests OF this section and this state.
II is not wonderful. The tenure by
which he holds his ONCE Is not one to
evoke loyalty 10 his constituency. The
arguments upon which he relies are not
such as can be set forth in words,
Therefore his policy has not been
shaped as that Of man who guards
and studies the interests OF his people.
From flrst TO last. In all the stirring
events OF the last few years. the voice
and the vote OF Turner have been at
the cali Of those who would cripple the
great Pacific Northwest and check or
turn backward the prosperity that is
now flowing throughout all its borders.
why should any man Of Washington
vote TO help sustain the political COM
hination OF which he Is at once the boss
and the almoner7
why should any citizen vote for John
r. Rogers7 His portrait has been
drawn In a few strong lines He Is
"a great man In small things. "A little

nothing to command the sufrrages OF

The Hawaiian Democrats.

II ,s announced from Honolulu that
Prince David win be the Democratic
candidate for delegate to congress from
Hawaii. This shows that the Hawaii
ans have somewhat longer memories
than Il is convenient for the Demo-
cratic politicians of this country to pos
sess. Prince David is the male repre-
sentative OF the discarded and abol-
ished monarchy OF Hawaii. The mon
archists Of the island have never lost
their hope of an ultimate restoration OF
the royal family to the throne. They
recall that It was Democratic presi-
dent who withdrew the original treaty
of annexation from the senate, and
sent his paramount commissioner to
haul down the American flag which
was floating over the Hawaiian islands
They recall that the Democratic party
a few years ago was in hearty accord
with the policy OF Democratic presi-
dent who exerted all the power which
ne possessed, short Of using the mill
tary and naval sforce OF the United
states. to tear down the republic which
had been set up in the Hawaiian
islands, and to restore the monarchy
which the people of the ISLANDS had
abolished They remember that the
only thing which stayed him from using
force to restore the monarchy was the
obstinate refusal Of Queen Liliuokalani
to agree that in case she was put back
on the throne by American bayonets
she would refrain from wreaking bloody
vengeance upon the men OF American
birth, resident In those islands. who
had swept away the corrupt monarchy
and instituted republic.
The Hawaiians remember all this. al
though the Democratic politicians Of
this country pretend to have forgotten
IT, Thus II is that Prince David.
under the new order OF things, turns
naturally to the Democratic party.
which is always facing to the rear. and
cherishes the not unnatural hope that
Democratic success in the coming cleo
ton in the United States may be fol-
lowed by an abandonment Of the Ha-
waiIan islands. and the restoration Of
Queen Liliuokalani to the throne of her
alleged ancestors. This is'the purpose
for which Prince David seeks election
as a delegate TO congress. and this Is
the reason why delegate from Ha-
wall made possible the nomination Of
Bryan at Kansas City, by casting the
deciding vote which placed IS to In
the Democratic platform.
