The election Of Governor Van SAINT
by SO large a majority was indeed a
surprise to even the genial governors s
most sincere admirers. The last few
days evidently changed the sentiment.
Mr.. Rosing had the strongest hopes for
his election. He had received assur-
ances from many counties in the state
that he would get a large Republican
vote. 1t failed however to materialize,
and Mr.. Rosing was defeated.
Rosing, however, need not feel bad.
He fought good fight. His argument
on the stump was in line with that
Of all true advocates of a real gov
ernment by the people. He was logical
and consistent and no man will ever
regret that he voted for the Demo-
cratic standard bearer.
Bede's election by a large majority
was also a surprise. Bede's success
was due to the success of his party.
Captain Fay put up splendid fight,
and if he had more experience as a
platform speaker there would be a diff
ferent story to tell today.
John Lind's success in Minneapolis
was received with joy in Duluth. There
are some who will claim that his was
a personal victory, which was perhaps
true to some extent. But if John Lind
did not stand for something good and
noble. in politics he would not have
been elected.
Two more Democratic county COM
misioners will help to balance things

the principles advocated by the Demo-
cratic party in it's platform.

are nice genial fellows, and so long as

THE AFTERMATH
! s.> j.. OF GOAL, STRIKE,


Now that the cosl ~ iri pro-
cess Of settlement, many things in
connection with that contest come up
for discussion.
The contest has uncovered some new
situations.
It has been discovered by the general
public that the coal operators have been
violating the laws of the United States
and the state of Pennsylvania without
fear Of punishment.
1t has been discovered that there is
a tariff duty Of 81 cents on antracite
knows how.
It has been discovered by the poll
ticians that q sentiment against trusts
ard tariff-sheltered monopolies is grow
ing in sections where least expected.
1t has been discovered that men who
have never before entertained such Il
thought have been brought to declare
in favor Of government ownership OF
control of mines and railroads.
These are significant developments.
They all lead somewhere.
And who will deny that they lead in
the right direction?
Timorous souls deplore the tendency
toward populism and socialism,"
They need not fear. There Is nothing
dangerous in a name. Nor Is an epi-
thet any defense against the truth.
The American people are capable Of
doing their own thinking.
Democracy has stood the stress of
many storm.
It is an old law axiom that every
wrong has a remedy. Publicity often
uncovers the wrong, and agitation
brings the remedy.

huge sign, that can be read as far az
the naked eye can see with this inscrip'
ton: THIS is A UNION FACTORY
their money and reputation on the 10y
atty of union labor in order to combat
with the tobacco trust, it seems that
union labor, and every enemy of trusts
for that matter should support them.
It is hard for an independent tobacco
company to get a foothold, but it ought
to be an easy matter if the union people
practice what they preach. B. D. and
Wineberry are on sale in a number OF
places in Duluth. They ought to be in
every store, and will be if you demand
them. Merchants must cater to the
wants Of their customers.
The tobacco trust is making des.
perate effort to discourage jobbers in
handling union tobacco. The trust is
an open and avowed enemy of unior
labor. It does not wish to see any kind
of a demand for union goods. The
workingman who refuses to use union
label tobacco is simply supporting the
trust and helping to destroy union
labor.
Is this not apparent to every person
who is giving the trust question any
thought? So then to be consistent enc
mics of trusts and loyal friends Of labor
you should insist upon your dealer
handling both B. D. and Wineberry
union label tobacco. The label appears
at present on the box. The firm has
recently decided to place a small label
on every plug. The next shipment to
Duluth will come that way.
Here is an opportunity to strike 8
blow at one trust, and it is up to us to
do it. Will we do it? Will we be con-
sistent in our advocacy of labors s
cause? If we are not how can we ex-
pect to command the respect and SYM
pathy of the people who admire earnest
ness, sincereity and consistency?
We do not write this for the purpose
of advertising the Monarch Tobacco
Company. We only admire their fight
for union labor know tne1tz
chants say about the apathy Of union
labor on this question, and we simply
wish to arouse the true union men to
the duty expected Of them.

WILLIAM BARKER,

"No, William Barker, you cannot

Six months later the young man stood

the old man.
LAY, old man." proudly exclaimed
William Barker. Il am here, your
daughters equal and yours!' The old
mans lip curled with scorn. A deris-
i've smile lit up his cold features; when
casting violently upon the marble CEN
ter table an enormous roll OF green
backs, William Barker cried: "See. look
on this wealth. And I have tenfold
more! Listen, old man! You spurned
i, me from your door. But I did not de-
spair. I secured contract for furnish
ing the army of the-with beef" Eyes,
yes!" eagerly exclaimed the old man.
"-and I bought up all the disabled
coaling horses could find"
Il see! I see!" cried the old man.
'And good beef they make, too."
''They do! they do! and the profits
are immense"
II should say so."
"And now sir, claim your daughters
fair hand!" boy, she is yours. But
hold! Look me In the eye. Through
out all this, have you been loyal?"
ITO the core" cried William Barker.
"And," continued the old man. in
voice husky with emotion, "are you in
favor of a vigorous prosecution of the
war;"
II am! ami"
'"Then, boy, take her. Maria, nv
child, come hither. Your William
claims thee. Be happy my children!
and whatever our lot in life may be,

Although the rank and file of the
union men have no objection to the dis
cussion Of economic problems in the
union hall, there are certain so-called
leaders who at once raise hue and
cry about "disrupting the union." But
what they really fear is the disruption
of the old political parties. In a dis
cussion with the socialists, whether in
q union hall or elsewhere, democrat
or republican has about as much show
as a SNOWFALL in a furnace. Hence it
Is best for the old parties to muzzle

telude the union into doing this, sew
