Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1904-10-26
ENDORSED BY LABOR.
Congressman Van Duzer's Efforts Ap-
preciated by the Unions.

is canvassinG the eastern districts Of
the State this week and reports from
his meeting at various places indicate
an increasing popularity for the able
young Nevadan.
Governor John Sparks, whose candi-
dacy for the United States Senatorship
is of chief interest to the voters of the
State, is in .Tonopah and Goldield,
with Senator Newlands. The latter
part of the week the distinguished can
didates will be in Reno. Next week
Representative Van Duzer will go to
Tonopah and Goldfield, returning north
a few days before election.
While the enegertic representative
is out hustling among the voters there
are coming to him unsolicited, endorse
ments of his work in Congress on
various lines. Labor union leaders
and organizations have voluntarily ex-
pressed appreciation of Representative
Van Duzer's consistent and loyal sup
port of organized labor. A few Of
these endorsements, which we print,
indicate Representative Van Duzer's
standing it'll the unions. Authorized
representatives of union labor at the
national capitol during the session OF
Congress had opportunity of watching
every member of the House and
Senate and they distinguished their
friends, of which Van Duzer is one,
from their pretended friends and avow-
ed enemies.
The following resolution speaks for
itself:
Office of Iron Moulders' Union, 215
Washington, D. c. Sept 2, 1904.
Whereas Iron holders Union 215
of North America, located at the Ma
tional Capitol has had opportunity to
watch the course pursued by Men,
bers of Congress touching legislation
affecting labor, and
Whereas, the union has noted with
c. D. Van Duzer to organized labor
and the laboring classes generally by
the measures he had introduced
advocating and voting for since he has
been g member of Congress.
Therefore, this Iron MOulders' Union
No. 215 of North America, does duly
and voluntarily endorse the Hon. &
d. Van Duzer and recommend him &c
the labor organizations of his district
as one who has been the constant
friend of the labor classes and if re
elected,in our judgement, the interests
of labor will be safe in his hands in
the future as they have been in the
past.
