for Mr.: Littlefeld, 1t, favored him In
preference to- his opponent.
Another claim OF our opponents 10
that the entire Republican vote In the
state was reduced, and that. therefore,
it did not especially show itself in Mr..
Littlef1eld's district. The answer Is to
be found in this: The largest total
vote In the history OF Maine was cast
In this election. In Mr.. Littlefield' s
district there is less organized labor
than in any other district In that state,
yet his plurality was the lowest of
any congressional candidate.
In the other districts organized
labor and the people generally fol-
lowed out the policy as promulgated
in Labor's political program, even
though there was no DIRECT campaign
made by my associates and myself.
There is another sfde-light In this
campaign which may be told later and
when told will convey to the working
people and other citizens still clear
er knowledge of the deception prac-
ticed by one who poses as a friend to
Labor.
AS for the effect on Labor's general
campaign, there is every reason to
feel that moral victory was. gained
in Mr.. Littlefeld's district. Why it
fell short of a material victory has
been shown in this recital of condi-
lions and methods pursued by the
opposition. But even had Mr.. Little
field been elected by an increased ma
jority the fight would have gone on
with undated vigor in every congress
sional district in the country where
Labor has found it's present congress
sional representative Indifferent, hos
tile, or negligent.
The campaign in Maine has shown
how great are the forces aligned
against the interests of the people,
and it has also shown that Labor
needs only to lead the way and all
good citizens aid in the noble and
patriotic work.

GIVE SILVER SERVICE

tional Officer.

Niagara Falls, N Y, Oct. 4.-Gen-
eral President Huber of the Brother
hood Of Carpenters was greatly sur
rrised last Saturday afternoon shortly
after the session was called to order
when Delegate Mccarthy of San
Francisco on question of personal
privilege asked for and got the floor.
Delegate Mccarthy started by stat
ing that the Brotherhood had man
who was deserving of more than the
members of the unions could ever re-
pay, but that as slight token of ap-
probation the Order of Porch Climb
ers, composed of delegates to the con-
vention had tried to show in a way
that they were not unmindful of what
had been done for the organization by
the general president in the past, and
on behalf of the delegates he present
ed President Huber with beautiful
silver service. Tears came to the eyes
Of the general president when the sill
yer service was given to him by Mr..
Mccarthy, and it was some time be-
fore he was able to respond to the
presentation, the delegates applaud
ing in the meanwhile. Mr.. Huber
made very appropriate speech
thanking the Porch Climbers for the
gift and the kind words which accom-
panied 1t. The service bears the in
scription: presented to William D.
Huber, general president U. B. of C.
and J. of A. by friends and delegates
of 18th biennial convention held at
Niagara Falls, N. Y, Sept, 1906" The
service is one of the best that could
be purchased and has been placed on
exhibition ut the John A. Hengerer
store on Falls street, where it at
tracts large amount of attention.

HEARST AND HIS ENEMIES.

If there were nothing in the princi-
pies he is advocating to make the
campaign of William Randolph Hearst
for Governor of New York popular, he
should at least be loved for the enc.
mics he is making. One after an
other of that class of Democrats who
bolted Mr.. Bryan in 1896 and 1900 are
now preparing to knife Mr.. Hearst.
When there is an issue involved
which does not affect vest rights it is
perfectly safe to be a Democrat. So
long as the party made Imperialism
and the tariff the issues these boilers
of 1896 were glad to be knnwn as
Democrats, but the moment man
who stands for a change in the order
of things is nominated they invariably
get ready to give him the betrayer's
dagger.
Mr.. Hearst stands for ideas in Gov
eminent which, if carried out, would
make life uncomfortable for class of
men in both political parties who
have acquired wealth by questionable
means through their mighty influence
In politics. Possibly this is one of the
reasons why they are opposed to him
now.
But why should honest men be
afraid of Hearst? When we read his
papers we agree that it is fortunate
for the country that they have the
courage to expose wrong wherever It
may be found. They have taken q
popular side on almost every eco.
nomic issue. In Chicago they, more
than all other factors ARE responsible
for the progress of municipal owner
ship. In New York they have made
predatory interests seek shelter. and
have brought reformation to MANY

opinion throughout the country In be

GOV. JOHNSON AND STATE De,
VELOPMENT.

VEIOPMENT.
The Republican partisans of North
ern Minnesota seem to think that the
only issue before the people in this
campaign is the development of this
portion of the state.
They say that their candidate has
made this question a life study, and
for this reason is the best equipped to
carry on the work Of state develop
ment.
But it is in the Legislature where
the real work Is to be done. Candi-
date Cole was member of the last
Legislature, and it was to that august
body that Governor Johnson sub
mitted his message in which he ad-
vised that steps be taken to provide
for the drainage of swamp lands and
the making of improvements for the
encouraging of settlements in North
ern Minnesota. The Legislature did
nothing. Candidate Cole did little,
and we have no assurance that he will
have either the power or ability to do
anything If he should succeed in be-
ing elected governor next month.
The truth Of the matter is, Governor
Johnson If given the necessary au-
thority, by his two years experience
is richly equipped to carry on an ag-
gressive campaign in behalf of state
development.
The people know Governor Johnson.
His life and character are of the high
order. His heart beats for the op-
pressed, and he has both the incltna.
ton and the will to do the most good
for the greatest number.
Should Mr.. Cole be elected simply
because he is a Republican? Is that
to be the only qualification for tho
high office Of Governor of Minnesota?
Can the cracking Of the. party whip
put into the highest office within the
gift of the people of the state a man
OF admitted inferior ability than his
opponent? Should a man be chosen
Governor of Minnesota at the behest
OF a delegate convention whose acct
dental choice was at the expense of
one whose position on reform issues
were favorably known to every pro-
gressive and Impoverished member of
the PARTY? No! There must be other
reasons. The friends of Mr.. Cole
have not as yet made any of them
known
Governor Johnson has done well
during the past two years. He is en-
titled to another term, and the free
and independent citizens of this state
are expected to rally to his support,
irrespective Of their party affiliations.
Ills men, not partisans, the time de-.
mands,
Men with well-weighed ballot in
their hands,
Men who bend party to their stern de-.
cree,
Or, finding it but false, will crook no
knee
To scurvy tricksters, whatsoever their
state;
Men who opine that only Right is
great;
Men who are free, nor wear a party's
brand
Such are the men that times like this
demand.
