self into the legisla tive fight, and he
would not be supported by the citi-

On election day these men went
about the city Of Duluth, particularly
in the First, Second and Fourth wards,
and buttoned- holed every leading poll
tician they could meet, making asser-
items about MCGEE, that we are sure
they could not repeat in Two Harbors,
and live there in happiness.
The poison they spread had its ef-
feet, and many Duluth citizens voted
against the Two Harbors candidate on
the strength of statements made by
the leading 60 citizens Of that viii
lage.
Now the Duluthians are sorry. They
see that they have been the victims Of
treachery and deceit. Returns from
Lake county indicate that Mr.. MCGEE
was mighty strong there. He polled a
higher vote than either Miller or Hugo,
and rather than being an unpopular
citizen Of Two Harbors it Is learned

pendent citizens of that village who

cerned about who the representative.

THE LABOR UNION IN POLITICS.

THE LABOR UNION IN POLITICS.
The entry Of the labor unions into
the political arena is causing a great
ft1rore all over the country. The move
ment has hardly got started, but has
been heralded throughout the land.
Men Of all classes, that believe right
and think right favor the plan and say
that the movement is a good thing and
that labor is justified in trying, to
protect its interests. The union men
will read all kinds Of. stories in the
newspapers, some setting forth that 1t
is a bad~thing,9 etc. But pay no atten-
ton to such articles. Most Of them
are written by space filters at so much
per column and dated any old place
that fits the story. We read one the
other day telling how this political
would disrupt the American

SOME FRIENDS DON'T
LIKE OUR QUESTIONS
Many Citizens Take Exception
to Union Labor's Methods
of Pledging Candidates.
Fearful Lest Labor Well Seek
Only Glass Legislation
Jealous of Power.

Not a few well meaning citizens
are very much alarmed over the fact
that organized labor has a number of
candidates for the Legislature pledged
to work and vote for several measures
dsired by labor.
These very much concerned friends
don't like the idea Of questioning can
didates. They fear class legislation.
They are afraid that labor will carry
the thing with high hand and crush
every one else. How ridiculous. If
labor was so unfair it would have
grasped the reins Of government long
ago, and there would not be a cor
porals guard of the other fellows left
to tell the tale.
All labor asks is its own. It is
wrong to imagine that union labor de-
s1res legislation to benefit labor only.
In all of the political demands of labor
there Is not one that bears on the
question Of organized labor. Their en-
actment into law would benefit all
Workingmen.
1t Is also wrong to assume that a
small faction of the people is trying
| to control political affairs. Whatever
legislation we ask for is to benefit all
the people.
Strange to say those who are COM
! planning about union labor entering
/ politics, are usually those who have
been a part of political machines :ir
the past, and are jealous of we'll organ
lied workingmen when they butt into
the political game.
1t may be true that Secretary Dea-
con of the state labor political com.
mittee was trifle blunt in submitting
the questions to the candidates. HI
asked for a straight Eyes or Mo- an.
sWer, and some of the candidates
didn't quite like that They wished
to trim, and make this or that qualif1.
cation. This is what we have beer
getting for several years, and whe1
we reminded members of the legisla
lures Of their pledges they did no
hesitate to mention their qualifications
with the results that we. were not get
ting legislation. This time we knew
what we wanted, and we merely asket
candidates whether they were for O.
against US.
