The Labor World does not pre-
sumo that any .laboring man has
fault to find with any government,
national, state or municipal, because
the laboring man is not given spec
ial privileges by the administration
that may be in power. The fault
Is found when the special privileges
are given to other classes. All the
laboring man wants is an administra-
ton of the government that does
not discriminate against him. 1t is
because change in the laws or their
administration which removes exist
ing Determinations necessarily with
draws special privileges from GER
tain classes who now enjoy them, that
the laboring man has II been accused
of wanting more than his just dues.
A square deal'' is the limit of his
demands.
Labor Gets a Square Deal.
1t, is because Mayor Cullum has
given the laboring man square
deal that the Labor World believes
his reelection will be for the best
interests of the class which it
esneciallv renresents His attempts
to remove discr;mina+ions in The
laws and thetr admin tst ration alone
should insure :his7reelection. The
average laboring man does not seek
office or sneciaI favors of. any kind
from any municipal administration.
He seeks an equitable: distribution
of taxes, a better sanitary condition
of the city in which his family must
reside, an orderly city free from. OBJ
vious temptations. to.~those who are
mot seeking them; and an administers
