me Labor World is In danger Of
oelns dynamlted. Just beneath us in
the Manhattan building the Dunn
neadquarters have been established.
we like their company, but If such
stfong campaign reports appear again
as were published this week we are
naoie to get the full benefit Of Mr..
Dunn's explosive vocabulary Of wrath,
"hlcn ne Is In the habit Of letting out
every time one Of Van SAINTS ap-
po1ntees makes report.
On this night, Saturday between
the hours of seven and eight the Demo-
crafts Will elect delegates to the ST..
LOUIS county convention to select
oeleeates to the state convention, which
Will select delegates to" the national
convention to nominate candidate
Tor president of the United States.
Every member of organized labor is
expected to do his duty tonight at the
democratic primaries. Now is the
time to show Wall street that the
Democrats OF this trust ridden coun-
cry are for a progressive democrat for
president Of the United States. Turn
out amt elect Hearst delegates. This
Is your duty, and do. not neglect it.
The st. Paul Globe gives Mr.. Roose-
welt and Secretary Of Navy Moody a
hard roast this week on the PROPOSE
ton OF the Federal government as
Stunning control of all wireless teleg-
raphy as operated from the coasts of
the United States. The Globe says
that Mr.. Roosevelt intends first to &C.
qu1re the plans and ask congresses
consent after. This is fast becoming
a one man government, and at last
the Globe is beginning to recognize
this fact. We are in favor of the gov
eminent control OF all such public utili-
ties, but It Is matter for the peoples
representatives to decide, rather than
the president Of the United States, as
to- whether the proposition is desir-
able one.
The local Democrats will meet to-
night to elect chairman to succeed
the late Joseph Mannheim, who had
charge Of the arrangements for the
state Democratic convention.
=
The loss of Joseph Mannheim to the
local Democracy is almost irreparable.
He was one Of the most indefatigab1e
workers in the party. He was chair
man of the congressional committee;
president of the Bryan and Hearst
clubs, and chairman of the committee
On arrangements for the state Demo-
cratic convention. He carried on the
work with which he was entrusted with
a will and spirit that were character
tstic of the man during his entire life.
The local Democracy will sorely miss
him.
r. D. Haven has denied that he will
be a candidate for county treasurer
Many Of his friends want him to run
for sheriff, and will listen to no other
proposition. If Mr.. Haven is wise he
will enter the. race.
As matters now stand Mr.. Bates has
decidedly the beet.of It in the race for
sheriff ofss:St. Louts County. IT Is now
conceded by liberal Republicans that
MI, .Armstead sWillv,not do. They can
not afford TO- lose the labor vote in
the coming election. If Armstead is
elected a: large number Of union men
have declared their intention of knit
ing the entire ticket.
We asked local politician this week
what there was new in politics, and
he responded by saying. wait until
the state convention has been held.
There will be something doing in this
county that will make the oldest in
habitant think that he never saw a
campaign before. On account of our
interest in the convention we can not
show our hand now, but just wait and
you will see.''
