Tabor leaders in Chicago. represent.
Ing the enormous voting power Of the
organized workingmen of this city. are
determined to have proper recognition
In the municipal elections In Chicago
next spring.
This fact Is now well known on all
sides. and 1t is further generally admit.
ted throughout the domain of Union
Labor that Clarence =. DarrOw. the
able lawyer and strong advocate of the
principles that are dear tn organized
labor. would he the ideal candidate TO
head such u ticket.
Mr.. Darrow has also been recently
much discussed as n man who would
make II most available and successful
candidate at the head of the Demo.
cratic municipal ticket.
Mr.. Darrow's availability has been
urged upon the claim that he could
solidify the regular Democratic and
the Organized labor vote this time.
However all this may turn out. there
remain the two facts that the great
Union Labor vote of Chicago will bc
NeHIt~eIteu III INV
campaign, and that Clarence =. Oar.
row. the most popular representative Of
union labor In Chicago. will hav"
much TO say about this representation.
whether he be II candidate or not.
In this connection It may he mention.
ed. too. that whatever part Mr. barrow
may take In the spring campaign II

tail to any Carter Harrison kite.
That Harrison and his payroll bri.

reading the signs Of the times, or Of
placing n proper ana intelligent con
struction upon the meaning Of curren,
events.
The abject and treacherOus attemp,
to secure the prestige of Mr.. DarrOw''
name ut the sacrifice of the bright an,
capable city Attorney Owens. by th'
Harrison payroll brigade and the Uni
ted Order of Ingrates Is too fresh In tn

Everybody who has kept tab on recen
political developments knows that tn
Harrison payroll managers, KNOWN,
the Overwcenlng desire of their hos
to retain connection with the publ

included n tentative promise of III
nomination on the Harrison ticket fo
the City Attorneyship. Everybody
also aware of how these overturcs hav
been treated with contemptuous silenc
by Mr.. Darrow and his friends,

As n matter of fact, nothing--n6
even the prestige of the hOnored nam
of Clarence =. DarrOw--cOuld win owe
the labor vote to any ticket headed b
the name of Carter ii. Harrison.
The events of last summer. In whic
Harrison showed his true feeling 4

this city to be thus lightly forgotten
