Bryan is not to receive the solid labor
vote of Minnesota. Contrary to the re-
peated predictions and efforts of Demo
cratic labor leaders there appears to be
. big split in the ranks of organized
labor, and Taft will receive his due
share of votes from the union men.
Fifteen Of the most prominent union
in Minneapolis have signed a cir
cular letter declaring they take ex.
ception to the methods used by the
Bryan element Of the organizations, and
many believe the labor men Of the State
will exercise their individual wills
when voting and win cast their ballots
for the Republican nominee.
