Alderman Cromwell say that he has

third ward, yet David Cohn will not
concede. it by any means. Joseph
Mannheim and Harris Bennett are
working 'energetically for the Demo-
cratic nomination in this ward.
Alderman Trevillion is 80 confident
that he will be successful in the fourth
ward that it is hard to get him to come
out of his grocery store, yet N. J.
Miller and Fred Little both say that
they will make it lively for him.
The bloody fifth is the center of at
traction. Four Republican candidates
with their sleeves rolled up, their
skirts girded about their loins and their
knives unsheathed, are looking forward
for the primaries.
1t looks very much as though Mr.
Cutliff will secure the nomination In
the fifth. Joseph Gibson and w. E.
McEwen are engaged in friendly
contest. Whoever the party decides
upon at the primaries will secure the
support of the entire voters of the

ton of the state. The Pepin Star, Of

treatment in Duluth as follows:
"While he was a stranger In Duluth.
yet upon his arrival there he was taken
in charge by unknown friends and
brothers who did all that could be done
for him and his family while there,
and evidence of their esteem and kind
ness followed him even to his narrow
house beneath the ground. s

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 6.-The 21st con-
vention. Of the American Federation of
Labor was called to order at precisely
10 o'clock Thursday morning in St.
Thomas College Hall at Scranton, Pa.
with President Samuel Gompers in the
chair.
The headquarters of the delegates is
at the Jermyn Hotel. The delegates
marched from the hotel to the hall
headed by Lawrence's band.
The address Of welcome was deliv-
cred by John H. Devine, chairman of
the local committee on arrangements.
President Gompers responded.
The standing committees were ap-
pointed by the chair Immediately after
the opening and it was not long before
the entire convention was ready for
business. The first day passed with
over twenty-five resolutions intro
duced. Delegate John B. Lennon, of
the Tailors' National union has the
honor Of presenting the first resolu-
tion. which was for the purpose of
creating a. defense fund. It is in the
form Of an amendment to the constitu-
ton. It declares that the executive
council shall declare a levy of not over
81 cents each year upon each member
of the American Federation of Labor
for defense purposes. This money will
be expended to unions that are in need
Of aid during any trouble. 1t is ex-
pected that the resolution will he
adopted.
Resolution No. 2, calls for the aid of
the Federation to the Tailors' union
in its efforts to abolish tenement house
labor.
The next four resolutions are in the
interest of the Tobacco Workers union
The most important Of these four is the
endorsement of the boycott on the Am
erican and Continental Tobacco compa-
MES.
Resolution No. z Is in the interest OF
the postoffice clerks of the United
States and is as follows:
BY Post Office Clerks Union No. S7O3
Whereas, the post office clerks
throughout the country are denied the
protection of the eight-hour law be-
cause they are not specified therein;
and .-u.
-HS / Whereas, the hours of labor required
Of the post office clerks are regulated
by the postmasters in whose offices
they may be employed; and
Whereas, the members of Post Office
Clerks union No. s703 have in the past
few years been required to work hours
ranging from nine to fourteen per day
and have been denied a Sunday II

Whereas, we believe that the only
remedy for these conditions can be

States of America; therefore, be it

Resolved, that we appeal to the Am
erican Federation. of Labor to take
such action as lies within their power
to bring about the enactment of an
amendment to the present eight hour
law as will bring the post office clerks
within the jurisdiction thereof.
Another important resolution calls
upon all union men in the country to
not patronize any restaurant, store or
MOTEL that purchases from the National
Biscuit company, the great cracker
trust that has done so much to en-
deavor to disrupt the Bakers union.
Resolution No. 10 which calls for the
enforcement of the trade autonomy
clause Of the constitution will cause
more debate than any resolution now
before the convention. This matter has
been giving the Federation consider
able trouble during the past few years.
1t has stirred up trouble between the
printers and the machinists, and the
firemen and the brewers and many
others.
Resolution No. II will be of interest
to the organized workers in Duluth.
It prevents trades assemblies from
levying bOycOtts and is as follows:
mo Central Labor union, or other
central body of delegates shall have
authority or power to originate a boy
cott, nor shall such bodies indorse and
order the placing Of the name of any
person, firm, or corporation on an un-
fair list, until the local union desiring
the same has. before declaring the boy.

to the central body for investigation,
and the best endeavors on it's part to
effect an amicable settlement, Viola
ton of this section shall forfeit char
ter"
Resolution No. IA is an anti-anarchv
resolution and is as follows:
whereas, anarchists and anarchistic
by dastardly assassination, has
brought upon the people Of the United
States a sad calamity, plunging the
nation into grief; and
"Whereas, the red hand Of anarchv.
teachings are menace to our free in
stitutions; and
whereas, the American Federation
of Labor. with unbounded 1ove of our
glorious country and unsullied flag, de-
sire to take high stand against the
infraction of law and order; therefore,
be it
Resolved, that the Legislative COM
mittee of the American Federation of
Labor be, and is hereby, instructed to
frame law to be submitted to- the
congress of the United States, making
it treason against the United States
for any man or set of men to promul-
gate anarchistic teachings, and cap
ital crime for any person to kill or at
tempt to kill the president, vice presi-
dent or the cabinet of the president Of
the United States, with the view of
relieving this country from the menace
of such deadly teachings and acts.''
Other resolutions Of more or less Inn
portance were referred to committees
and will be reported on later. I'D I.

CONTEST Is CLOSE

TION IS NEAR AT HAND s
Every Candidate IL Confident and
Looks Forward for Happy Re-
turns-SOme of Us Will He Dis

Friendly and Whoever Wins Let
Us All Bow to Will of Majority.

II you doubt whether we are going
to have a hot political campaign or
not, just drift about among the poll
ticians, and it will be found that there
Is as much difference in opinion as
there can be under the circumstances.
In the mayoralty contest the candi--
dates, or rather the workers for the
candidates have got them all guessing.
OF course Mayor Hugo is the natural
favorite for the Republican nomination,
but Captain Stevens is showing them a
trick or two. He and his lieutenants
are out with hammer and tongs. It
would not be advisable to gamble on
either for the nomination The Demo-
cratic contest is no less lively. Some
people who differ with Truelsen in
politics, and who are afraid that If he
secures the nominatioa, that he will
carry everything before him are en-
deavoring to throw cold water on his
campaign. Mr.. Truelsen answers them
by saying that he Is not doing very
much talking now, but watch, "the
old man get the votes" The Grass
weller boom is still on the advance. He
has behind him the workers in the
Democratic party. This counts for con-
siderable. They are working like bea-
vers and expect to land the plum for
their candidate. They reason their
success In several plausible ways.
Then again do not look lightly upon
Doctor Murray's candidacy. He has
got more real workers with him than
all of the others put together. The
Doctor has not been shouting very
much, but a canvass of certain portions
Of the city will indicate that he has a
good following. The western portion
of the Fifth ward belongs to Doctor
Murray and do not let this be forgot
ten: The Sixth ward will bring him
many friends, and he is equally strong
In other portions of the city. /
The aldermanic contests are warming
up some. DR.. Cullum will smile when
he asked about the situation, while
