MUST TRUST ROOSEVELT
There ls No Other Alternative for the
W0rkiugmen,

WOrkiugmen,
Wage earners, though saving little. are
taking a deep interest in the campaign.
They have compared the records of the
two leading Presidential candidates. and
have found Parker wanting in sympathy
fer the workingmen. Rooseyelt's record
speaks for itself He has never lost an
opportunity To show by word and deed.
that he is heart and soul in sympathy
with the toiler. In this connection the
following extract from an editorial in
the Western Lahorer, of Omaha. one of
the best known organs Of union labor in
the West, is interesting:
The workers Of the doubtful States must
trust Roosevelt because they know him
and because Of what they know him to
have done as asscmbymun at Albany, as
governor Of New York and President Of
the United States II the workers IN the
doubtful States will read parker'S letter
OF acceptance they will fail Ia fud any
comfort for labor In that. and will Ger

document is the work of Il designing kuave

ling all his other expressions ia which he
has expressed nothing tangible in any of
his promises or propositions, wherein moth
ing is hut what is not and the very fact
that the auti-union solid south is anxious
for his control Of the government should
be sufficient TO alarm all iherty-loving
generous-hearted and faii-mindcd men.
We must trust Roosevelt. There Is no
alternative for the workers OF the United

MINERS LIKE ROOSEVELT.
William Little Tells Why the Presi'
dent Should Re Elected.

DemOcracy's campaign managers are
trying their utmost to show that Presi
dent Roosevelt is not the friend Of the
wage-earner. but are meeting with re-
bluffs on every hand. All the big, pros
porous labor organizations are non-par-
tsau, strictly ignoring politics as a body
but influential members are not chary in
expressing their views individually. Will
liam Little, member of the executive
board Of the United Miners Of America,
is as careful an observer of public senti-
ment as can he found in the great army
of tolers. He travels extensively. and
has become convinced, after talking with
representative labor unionists through
the country, that there is nothing or
nobody in it but Roosevelt" as he. terse-
~ sizes up the political situation. In an
interview in the Labor World of Pitts
burg, printed in its issue of Sept. >,
