DEMOCRATS ARE
PREPARING FOR
CONVENTION

Boston, Aug. 17-More than the ordi-
nary amount OF interest was attached to-
day TO the meeting OF the Democratic
during the afternoon for the purpose OF
arranging for the Democratic state con-
Nention.
While IL was not expected that the cam
didates Of Dist-Atty John S. Moran and
Henry NJ Whitney for first place on the
ticket would figure formally In today $
meeting, the respective attitudes OF the
two men was the cause OF considerable
gossip among the state committeeman
who arrived i'm the city during the day.
While these two men were the princi-
pal topic OF conversation previous TO the
meeting there were no indications that
the matter would even be mentioned dur
iyg the session, IL having been tentatively
decided that the date OF the convention,
the chairman 10 preside over II and the
committee position OF the member-at-
large Of the resolutions committee would
be the extent OF the business transacted.
Chairman Josiah quincy OF the state
committee, expressed the opinion today
that oct. would be the date selected
for the convention which will be held in
fremont Temple in this city.
Among the state committeeman early to-
day there seemed TO be no fixed idea as
10 what member OF the party would pre-
side over the convention. Mr.. Quincy
was mentioned for the place, but he in
timated that he does not care TO be Sc
lected Former Congressman John +.
Thayer OF Worcester, Congressman VIII
liam s. McNary and George Fred Will
liams OF this city also were named as
probable selections.
one OF the most interesting features Of
the proposed state ticket is said TO be
the probability that a labor union rep
resentatlve will receive recognition by the
Democrats. the office most frequently
mentioned as the berth OF the labor men
meing that of Secretary OF state.

DOUGLAS SOCIETY.
: <>>>>>><><<<<><> .

It has become a most popular fad in Douglas for the young ladies to go about the streets without their hats; with the parasol as a shade for the sun. This fashion no doubt originated in the west where the freedom is so complete that one reaches more nearly the primitive state, but only lately the fad has become prevalent in the east, when at noon time hundreds of young ladies may be seen going to and from their lunch without a head covering. This fashion leads up to the subject that has been agitated on numerous occasions, as to why women insist on wearing hats when in reality they are so much better looking without them. Protests are made repeatedly by ladies of prominence, and Dr. Woods of Philadelphia is quoted as saying Did you ever think how much bet ter our wives and sisters look without their hats? Can you think of Diana or Venus or Niobe all in tears wearing hat? Can you think of the calm fea- lures of the Minerva of the Pantheon or of the head of anything by Leopas or PraXiteles or a style by Michael Angelo or a Madonna by Raphael. over shadowed by the inventor of some mil liner?" Another party suggests that Dr. Woods is quite right and that a woman could hardly conceive of a St. Joseph or an archangle, or a Caesar in a derby hat or a "stovepipe."
 Mrs. Edna B. Maddox, sister of Mrs. J. D. Fox, who has been a visitor in Douglas for six weeks, left last Tues day for Los Angeles and San Fran cisco. Mrs. Maddox will return to her home in Fl Reno, Okla. by way of Salt Lake and Denver where she will spend a few days. Mrs. Maddox s a member of the faculty of the high school of Fl Reno, and will resume her duties there this fall.
 The social evening at the Y. M. c. A. last Monday was held in the read ing and reception rooms which accom-. modated the largest number of people who have ever been out to witness the excellent programs rendered. The fol.
 lowing is the program:
 Piano solo, Mabel Born.

 took this occasion to express their deep gratitude and appreciation of his

OF 81 cents a day. How can "a
father use trust tobacco when he
knows that his money goes to en-
slave American children. and that
by a sudden reverse of fortune his
own child may soon be one of the
little tobacco slaves. This is not Il
question of unioniSm: it is one of
humanitarianiSm. The union label
Is the only guarantee that tobacco
Is made by fairly paid labor.

OUR GREATEST WARRIOR.

The strongest, most logical and
nnrelenting warrior in the battle
for labor and the right on one side,
and against capital and oppression
on the other, is the silent, never
housekeeping little label. 1t stands
for all that is just, right, good,
pure. 1t is a protector of the weak,
in that it demands that justice
shall be done to the father and
caretaker of the young and help
less. 1t is right, because it insists
that the workman shall receive pay
commensurate with his ability and
hours compatible with human en-
durance. 1t is good, because it
stands for workmanship that is of
the best, thereby guaranteeing cN-
cellence of any article to which it
may be attached. 1t is pure be-
cause it is the champion of goods
made under pure, sanitary CON
ditiOns, prolonging the life of the
worker and helping to lift above
the filthy plane of the Sweat-Shop
those who are compelled to labor
that others may live in ease.
Therefore, support the little fight
or by demanding that his image
appear on everything you buy. In
SiSt on the label.

The object of the unions is not

though the unions do go down
deep into the causes of misery and
despair. Organized labor wishes
our country to lead the world i'll

in religious liberty, in the concep-
ton of all that makes men noble,
women beautiful and children
bright and happy. Organized la

1t is the duty of union men to
support and encourage their duly
elected officers, and refrain from
commenting in public places on the
manner in which they administer
the affairs of the union. If their
actions are open to comment, go to
your union meeting and declare
your sentiments. Remember that
your officers in the performance of
the duties devolving OH them, often
have to make great personal Sacri-
fees in your behalf. Encourage
and do not discourage them.

1T is by our experience and mis-
takes that we profit. The man who
never makes mistakes never
amounts to anything. But the man
who makes a mistake, sees it, ac-
knowledges his mistake, is the man
who is going 10 profit by it. We
are always glad to extend the hand
of friendship to those whom we
know to be our friends. And or
gained labor does not forget it's
friends, either, nor its fool enemies.
Let us all unite in building up our
city. Its prosperity means much
to all.

1t is strange that men exist today
in this age who are so foolish as to
listen to the silly plattlc of men
whose only object in fighting the
label and organized labor is to
make fat jobs for themselves, when
all around them is to be seen man
utacturelS who are pushing theta
bel and increasing their business
continually. Take, for instance,
the union piano factories. They
are behind in their orders and
working their employees overtime,
while the "open shop factories
are barely running full time. Then
look at w. l.. Douglas, the union
shoe manufacturer. His success is
well known by every intelligent
person i'll the land. His success
has been due to no other reason
than that he has always put the
label foremost on his product and
let it do his advertising for him.

If you are a trades unioniSt in
spirit as well as name YOU will be
loyal to your employer and guard
his interests as well as your own.
If you cannot do this. cease work
ing for him. DO not take his mon
ey in wages and try to knife him
at every turn.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 2, 1906.
THE DAY WE CELEBRATE.

The first Monday i'll September,
the marching legions of the men
who toll will impart a potent les
son to the world, with their force
of numbers, and will impress upon
the people throughout this broad
land the Importance of those who
earn their bread by the sweat of
their brOwS.
In marching thousands they will
demonstrate their being as the
greatest factor III the progress of
the world, and i'll their might they
will bid all those who are against
them to beware of the consequent
ccs which must befall those who
seek to down the right and renew
the days of bondage and slavery.
The personnel of the men as they
march will amply show the kind
of stuff the toiler of today is made
of, and the outpouting will be the
greatest assertion of labor's power
that has yet been made in this
broad land. In every city and
town throughout this country there
will be marching workers and out
ings in honor of Labor Day, max
ing up an aggregate of millions,
who will observe the day as labor's
own holiday. The silent mill, the
la IA ,f,.ip ,,f,1 e.,
for one single day will amply show
what ~ part labor plays and what
happens when it takes even one
brief day of holiday.
The resolution of the American
Federation to go into politics this
year, and to fight to the end those
who, by false promises and base
treachery, have in the past beguilcd
them, and the knowledge that all
those hundreds of thousands will
stand as one man against the enc
mics of labor, will give the politi-
cal crooks of the country Il mighty
jolt, for they will see in those
marching battalions the army which
will bring them to defeat and OBJ
hviOn. With all these points to
be considered let the unionists of
Charleston and vicinity turn out
in their might and show the public
what mighty factor they are.
Every good unionist should real
iZe that his presence in the line of |
march on Labor Day adds lust SO
much to the advancement and soil
darity of labOr'S cause
1t is one thing to be IA trades
unlonist, to hold your card and
regularly pay your dues; it is an
other and better thing to be a
Jealous and devoted unioniSt. ever
ready to do your best for the adj
Vancement of the cause.
You pay your dues and YOU are
a member of a labor union for the
purpose of holding up your wage,
securing shorter work -day and |
better conditions all around. The |
parade is one of the great agencies
by which all this is accomplished.
Ever keep in mind that as a
union man you are receiving the
benefits of uniOnism, and for those
benefits you are always prepared
to carry out your obligations. To
be numbered among the paraders
IS an obligation-never lose sight
of this great truth.
Turn out on Labor Day, and
turn out strong.
