UNION LABOR SPOWER
Shown in Three Notable incidents
OF the Recent Elections in
the States
WHAT HAPPENED In CALIFORNIA
Also That Groundsweli in1 ''Rhody"
administration Indicates Its
View of Lilly White" Re
pubiicanism.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE impor-
tant part played by the labor vote in
many sections of the country in the re-
cent election has not failed to impress
itself on the minds of students of pol
itics here. The workingmen's vote in
many places puzzled both political par
ties, but indicates strongly that organ
lied labor is beginning to use the bal
lot as a means of immense power. TAX
ing last Tuesdays results as sample,
the unions in the future may nominate
their own candidates and act indie
dendently of the old parties or may
throw their votes to men who believe
in their policies and demands.
Union Labor Vote in California.
In at least three sections of the coun-
try the labor vote, cast almost as a
body, cut a most important figure. In
many other places it welded an indi-
rect influence that amounted to great
deal. In California the union labor
vote overturned two Republican repre-
sentatives and put union men in their
places. Representatives Kahn and
Loud both are to be succeeded by I'M
ion men who received the Democratic
nominations. The union labor vote came
near electing a Democratic governor in
California, the Republican nominee
receiving majority of only a few
thousand. The same interests some
time ago elected one of their number, a
musician, mayor of San Francisco.
Cause of the Rhode Island Slump.
A street car strike at Providence,
r. l., last summer caused the election
of a Democratic member Of congress
and a Democratic governor and eu-
tenant governor in Rhode Island. The
Democratic congressional committee
had made no pretense of claiming a
district in Rhode Island, and not
even the most optimistic Democratic
prophets attempted to claim the cleo
ton of a Democratic governor in a
rock-ribbed Republican state like
Rhode Island The change was brought
about by the labor vote
Upheaval in a Pennsylvania District.
In the Eleventh Pennsylvania dis
trict the United Mine Workers took a
hand and surprised leaders of both
parties. The miners elected George
Howell, a Democrat, to congress from
that district in place of Representa-
tive Connell, the millionaire coal OPP
orator, who has represented the dis
trict for years. The miners not only
elected Howell, but chose three men,
bers of the lower house of the legisla-
ture, defeating Republican nominees
by unexpected majOrities.

the Washington Leaders.
Washington, Nov. II. - Julian HI.
Bingham, collector of internal revenue
for the district of Alabama. has been
removed from his office and Joseph O..
Thompson appointed to succeed him.
The change was made as a result of a
political condition which recently arose
in Alabama. COlored Republicans were
excluded from participation in the state
convention, and Collector Bingham was
held responsible, at least in meas
ure, for their exclusion Postmaster
General Payne visited the White
House yesterday, and as he left the
executive offices he made public the
following statement defining the rea-
sons for the change:
''The change in the office of collector
of internal revenue for the district of
Alabama in nOwise reflects upon the
integrity or ability of Mr.. Bingham.
1t is one of those things which Oc-
casionally happen in politics. The po-
sition taken by the Republicans of Ala
bam3 az their recent state conventions,
as understood by the Republicans of
the north. is looked upon as a per-
version of the fundamental principles
OF the Republican party. and Mr.. Bling
ham is in measure held responsible
for that action; hence the change.
Neither the administration nor the
Republican party of the north will
stand for the exclusion of any Sec
ton of our people by reason of their
race or color, when. in other respects,
such persons have complied with the
laws and are eligible under the law to
full and free participation in political
action and are of a high standard of
