HEERY is ENDORSED.
New Union Political League De-
cIares for Him.

The new organized Union Political
League met Sunday morning, and as
the State Journal on Saturday reported
would likely be the plan, Mike Heery
was given a sort Of informal endorse
ment for mayor. The committee rec
commended that union men support
Heery, and a committee was appointed
representing each ward in the city to
act as workers for Heery among the
union men.
It is said that this committee will also
arrange to play favorites" among the
councilmen, and viii try to turn union
strength to the Democratic candidates
in each ward of the city.
There was a large attendance of union
men at the meeting held Sunday morn
ing at 10 o'clock. No one without a
union card could obtain admittance.
All who were present were pledged to
secrecy as to what was done at the
meeting.
H. P. Miller. chairman Of the Demo
cratic city central committee, said to-
day Il understand that the meeting
did not take any official action about
the matter. The organizat ton has no
authority to act for the unions. The
unions are not pledged to any candi-
date That is where a mistake was
made before, when the unions tried to
endorse Lewis They mixed up the
unions in politics. OF course these peo-
pie who attended the meeting Sunday
may have as individuals indorsed
Heery. I understand that a committee
was appointed to take care Of the work.
/ was not present al the meeting
w. S. Bergundthal said: I am told
that Heery was indorsed. 1T does not
surprise me at all considering the way
the thing was worked. L think Mr
Heery gave the unions practically the
same promises l did. if he has been
correctly quoted. I do not think that
the endorsement will have much effect,
one way or the other. I believe the
union men will vote as they please.
They usually do, have noticed"
Politicians do not attach much inn
Dortance to the endorsement and
even union men say that it will not cut
a bit Of Ice.
