1e has always stood for Democratic
principles, and. no one has worked

IF the most liberal contributors to the
cause and personall..organized through
out the Union and conducted an asso-
citation OF congressional clubs for the
purpose Of electing Democratic con-
gress.
Labor can expect nothing from the
party In power. Still. those of the toll
ers now of the Republican rank and
file must be given strong reasons for
making change.
Having taken small part in the
canvass of Mr.. Hearst for congress,
was made to know how labor regarded
him. l do not alone judge from the
many hundreds of Endorsements he re-
ceiyed from labor organizations all
over the Union, but also from the vol
untary aid of great labor leaders desir-
ing to show their devotion by increasing
his majority. need not cite the Hon.
Eugene Schmitz, twice elected labor
mayor of San Francisco who crossed
the continent and made strong and
brilliant fight for Mr.. Hearst. He Is a

great work Of Mr.. Hearst in the cause
of labor. And there are many like him.
Were Hearst named for president la
Dor leaders would flock to him again
and thus assure his election as easily
as they did that immense majority of
$4,000 rolled up for him in his congress
sional district,
Who else can 30 unite these toilers?
Yet Hearst is not an enemy to capt.
tai nor to corporations. He believes in
both. He has never attacked either as
such. Only their abuses have called
for their condemnation. His position
on this subject was well stated in his
acceptance Of the nomination for con-
gress in work ingman's district. 1t is
sound and strong.
He believes in every legitimate en-
largement and improvement of capital,
and that labor and capital have COM
mon interests so commingled and inter-
woven that one cannot be injured with
out the other suffering. 1t is the UNI
just distribution of the products of the
Joint operation Of capital and labor, and
the efforts Of criminal combinations to
absorb of such products all but scant
living for the toiler, against which he
protests.
Hearst Is one Of the financiers who
would suffer from financial depression
In this country. His businesses are
large and ramffying and of the kind
that must be affected by financial dis
turbance. He Is in every sense Of the
word one Of our greatest captains Of
industry.
What do we greatly need in any
president at this particular time in our
country's history? A strong. positive
business man with extraordinary exec
utive ability.
E The daily disturbances in the de-
partments OF government show that
underneath there Is a seethfng mass
Of incapacity or corruption and that
the methods long in vogue IRE crude,
imperfect and costly: Abuses incident
to long continuance in power of one
party render the Introduction Of q
thorough business system necessary.
The management Of the affairs Of
the government requires much more
than an able jurist or resourceful
politician; it requires q chief exec
utive in fact as well as in name. No
an enemy of Hearst-and he could moi
. redress wrongs and pursue evil doerl
without having them-but will admi
that in his business career he has .
keen insight, calm judgment and al
executive ability seldom equaled.
