n NE Of the local labor journals a
Few days ago grievously
offended a German union baker
who took exceptions at what
he thought the unwarranted dragging
OF his trade into the local labor contro-
versy Of the building trades.
The labor editor, in treating a current
topic on the labor situation. in which he
pointed out the necessity OF organized
labor, the closed shop. high wages by
reason OF the extOrtiOnate prices asked
for every commodity that goes into the
home, said:
After the lsboring man has paid the
butcher, the baker. and the candIestick
maker Notwithstanding the union Ia
borer Is paid high salaries, he has little
or nothing left TO lay away for a rainy
day"
The German baker had never heard
the old adage, The butcher, the baker.
and the. candlestick maker" and the use
Of the name OF his trade appeared 20
him that his organization was being
censured for high prices and had some
thing 10 do with the labor trouble.
He went 10 the labor editor and. in
broken English. told him so. The labor
editor attempted to explain what he
meant by the old adage. but it was too
complicated Tor the big German. who
met the explanation with the argument
that there were no caudlestick makers

of his age in the State who has done
more faithful or effective work for the
democratic party than M. L. Shipman
and if faithful and loyal party service
counts for much his friends will ex-
p~erience little difficulty in carrying
him through. He has done fine work
as chairman of the county senatorial
and congressional executive committees
and has also been a member of the State
committee since 1900. The splendid
fight ha conducted in our congressional
district in 1904 increased the demo-
cratic majority from the narrow mar
gin of 1873 to sS8 and last year it exceed
ed 900. His newspaper, The French
Broad Hustler, is recognized as one of
the strongest opponents of democratic
principles in our section of the State
it has never departed the faith in a
single instances.
The friends of Mr.. Shipman feel con-
fdent of his nomination. He has q wide
acquaintance owe the State, having
served four times as calendar clerk Of
