Aid in Democratic Party.

Labor is interested in the rule of the
people. 1t favors the election of the Unit
ed States senators by the people 1t ia
vors the initiative and referendum upon
important public questions. And here
again labor has had the support of the
Democratic party. Here in Utah in 1S93
the Democrats being in power there was
submitted to the vote Of the people an
amendment to our constitution permitting
the initiative and referendum 1t was
adopted by the people. Thereafter. the
Republicans being in power. they suffered
this constitutional provision TO remain
dormant. and it has been left to the
Democratic party. in its present state
platform, to demand such laws as will
carry the constitutional amendment into
effect.
And in this connection. il is pertinent
to consider the position of the Republi-
can and Democratic candidates for con-
gress. The National Federation for PeO-
pies Rule has been sending out certain
questions to candidates for congress,
these questions having been endorsed by
Samuel GomDers and the labor represent
tation committee of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor.

MRS. WILLIAM THAW
 DENIES STORIES
SAYS SHE HAS NEVER BELIEVED THAT HER SON WAS OF UNI SOUND MIND-HARMoNY IN THE FAMILY.

New York. August 4.-For the first time since her return to the United States after her sons arrest for the murder of stan ford White, Mrs William Thaw today expressed a desire to make statement for publication. While in the office of Clifford Hartridge, her sons attorney, she said;
 Ut was not on account of any influence on the part of my son that I changed my views about his case. When came to New York l began to 1aok into the mat ter and study it. From my own obserya- tions and from all that I could gather. concluded that my son Is absolutely bright and have taken his view of the case.
 Another impression that I wish to con- tradiet Is that there has ever been any disagreement or misunderstanding be- tween either my son and myself or be- tween Harrys wife and myself. We are all on the best of terms and are working heart and head together. l really do not see why l should be called upon to deny all these silly stories of disagreements. Evelyn and myself have often visited Harry together. l am sure that neither of us has acted as if there was any i'll feeling existing between us. If l have appeared otherwise, I am sure that 1t must be understood that I am burdened with the greatest sorrow of my life
 Mrs. William Thaw and Mrs. Harry Thaw drove to the Tombs this afternoon and spent about an hour with Thaw, who seemed to be in the best of humor He said he had never been in better physical condition In his life.
