MAGNUSSON STANDS Up
FOR UNIONS OF LABOR
Democratic Candidate for Secre-
tary of State is Friend
to Unions.
Claims that Labor Has Only One
Weapon to Achieve In
dustrial Justice,

The candidacy of DR.. P. Magnusseon
of st. Cloud for secretary OF state
on the Democratic ticket IS exciting
statewide interest among working
men. DR.. Magnusson has been a stu
dent of labor problems all his life. and
during the past few years has delivered
several strong lectures on the efficacy
Of organized labor.
How different is his attitude on tho
labor question from that of Julius
schmall. the Republican candidate for
the office, who glories in the fact that
he furnished strike breakers to st.
Paul boss printers to help break tho
strike of the Typographical union for
the eight hour day.
Our attention has lately been called
to the following extract of a speech
delivered by DR.. Magnusson recentlv in
St. Cloud, Minneapolis and st. Peter.
1t indicates the true attitude of Dr.
Magnusson to union labor:
"Original labor is the necessary COM
pliment Of organised capital, and up
to the present time the trades union.
and similar organizations have proved
the most-efkectivef means the Industrial
classes possess with which, to achieve

'open shop and the free American
working man who refuses to be bossed
by any organization; but the fact re-
mains that the open shop is open to
underpaid labor only, and that he who
class to resist oppression will be tossed
by the organizations of capital
10 be sure the unions have made
many mistakes, and have doubtless
sometimes been guilty of injustice; but
think Of the blunders and iniquities
committed by the government. Now,
no sensible person believes that our
political unions, the state and the
nation, should be dissolved just because
of these blunders and iniquities. They
call loudly for reform, but not for abo-
lition of government. Let the unions
develop to better things and outgrow
their imperfections.
Again. all the misery Of the strikes
is laid at the door OF the unions This
Is unfair. A strike Is in the nature of
an Industrial war, and by far the
greatest number Of industrial wars
have been forced by arrogant capital
upon labor. OF course there is suffer-
ing-war Is always terrible scouree
but 1t Is the working man who
bears the brunt of the battle and suffers
most, and it is the sublime testimonial
to his courage and loyalty to his cause
and his class that he dares. and does
and suffers SO heroically In these in
dustrial conhlcts."

COLORADO CITIZENS
ALLIANCE INSOLVENT

The Colorado Citizens Alliance is
in sickly condition. President and
Attorney George G. Manly, Of Denver,
has sent heartrending appeal to the
members saying that 1--WE can not
much longer consider as members any
who have not paid dues for 1906" and
that I'm the interest of economy the
old headquarters at the Chamber of
Commerce have be en- surrendered" !"
The president-attorney is anxious that
the members stay alive and bring or
send a dollar and receive their due
card for 1906. Mr.. Manly also sent
out a special bulletin, in which his
financial embarrassments and the in
difference of the membership is even
morefully set forth. The reaction
seems to have set in and the frenzied
fakirs are no longer finding easy
money for the purpose of creating
trouble. In fact Manly denounces the
Denver building contractors as Cow
ards" because they wouldn't stand for
the open shop and part with their
ccin. At Colorado Springs former
Citizens Alliance officials, in orde> to
neutralize the growing antagonism of
decent people, admit publicly that they
have not had a meeting for a year,
that they are down and out, and never
were attached to any national organi-
zation anyhow. In the Victor and
Cripple Creek district fully ten per
cent of the miners have gone away
and signs offering houses and stores
for rent or for sale are seen every
where. Business is bad and all sorts
OF schemes are being worked to boom
those discredited towns, but wVh it,
tie success. This information is not
second hand; It was. learned on the
spot by the editor Of this paper, who
was in Colorado two weeks ago.

Better birds have never been seen,
and there was no cau.e for grumbling.
for even when the wind dropped on the
last two days the English got such
'Snio pes" as no man could have brought

of the championship, which he has held

one occasion, 1t must be attributed
TO nervousness, which surprises SO

was beaten by bird last year by Mr.

of Tjoso who declared that out of the
175 shooters who took part In The COM
