ROOSEVELT To AID THE FOE OF LABOR
Sends Taft and Cannon to
Speak for Congressman
LittIefieId, of Maine.

Washington, Aug 3-Announcement
is made that Mr.. Taft, the secretary of
war, is going into Maine to take the
stump in favor of the reelection of
Representative Charles E. Littlefield,
for whom Speaker Cannon also will
campaign.
This is regarded here as significant
of the fact that the administration has
definitely decided to fight the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor in it's efforts
to punish republican members of con-
gress. If there is a point in the United
States where the issue between re-
publican representative and the Amer
lean Federation of Labor has been
acutely drawn it is in the Second con-
gressional district of Maine, Mr.. Lit
tlefield's district
Has Taken Field.
The American Federation of Labor
has openly taken the field against Mr..
Littlefield. 1t opposes him because, as
member of the judiciary committee,
he for several years obstructed the
eight-hour labor bill and various other
measures desired by labor organiza-
tions. including the antiinjunction bill.
Mr.. Littlefield was also the introducer
and chief advocate of the bill abolish
ing compulsory pilotage, opposed by
the National Pilots association Sam

was enforced, has always been opposed
to the attitude of united labor in adyo-

The balloon remains balanced in the

side of the mountain at the will of the
engineer. For an ascent the balloon
itself furnishes the lifting force by

The wire cable passes through the

The slightest exertion would start my

alarmed me but which suppose came
from my stomach trouble.
II began to break ont on the face with
PIN pies and later with boils which con-

I do not have any eruptions and l no

have done for me and have recom-

those who are suffering from bad blood
