Unions.

George B. Howley, president Of the
State Federation of Labor was in Du-
luth last Saturday, looking over the
local labor situation. He conferred
with prominent local labor leaders
about several matters of interest to
the building trade unions. Mr.. How
ley was very well pleased with the
conditions in Duluth. =:
In. discussing the political situation,
Mr.. Howley urged labor men to sup
port only the candidates for congress
who were known to be favorable to
labor legislation. This he considered
to be of great Importance in the next
election.
Mr.. Howley said the convention of
the State Federation which is to be
held at Winona, June 8, will be one
of the largest and most successful
ever held in the state. A number of
important questions are to be taken up
at the convention. In his capacity us
president, Mr.. Howley has been able
to do a great deal for the unions Of
the state. Although not an active
aspirant for reelection, his friends
have been urging him so strongly to
accept the office for another term
that he will probably do so. . .

right to apply society's principle IN

LABOR VOTE A FACTOR !:
IN COMING CAMPAIGN
Can, Elect Any Candidate it Chooses
or Defeat One Not Of It's. -
= Choice.

Is there a labor vote in this coun-
try? The meager success which has
attended efforts in past years to or
ganize and deliver en- bloc any consid-
erable. preponderance Of what would
naturally be regarded as the voting
strength Of labor has seemed to JUS
tify. the dictum Of most politicians
that there Is no such thing as a labor
vote, says the Washington Times.
They say, that labor is5,stoo indie
pendent OF control, too much divided
among the vartous PARTIES and too
little disposed to set itself of in "a
Class apart to become a soltdihei
Political interest. But will it continue
thus divided? Samuel Gompers and
his, associates In the management of
the American Federation OF Labor
movement to enforce <labor's demands
through. political activity believe they
have made such progress In the last
three years as to warrant expectation
that next November labor will elect
that candidate for president whom it
favors and defeat any man 1t opposes.
There Is no doubt of the grave con-
Germ which politicians Of both parties
feel about the situation.
Just how labor feels toward Presi-
dent Roosevelt is uncertain at pre-
sent Some have latterly found them
selves out Of work; others are dissat-
isf1ed with the president because of
his insistence on Taft, whom labor
does not fancy; stil others are re-
serving opinion till they know just
what the president proposes to con-
cede to labor in the contemplated re-
vision Of the Sherman apti-trust law.
AS that revision measure is now un-
derstood by labor, it is not liked, and
the dislike Of it has tended to weaken
the hold which the president formerly
had on the workingnan. -: : -.
Labor has a, kindly feeling: for, Fair
banks and Knox both Of whom are
regarded as effective and practical
friends, on the basis OF their records.
Fairbanks has the advantage of an
extensive acquaintance with labor
leaders, because his home city Of In
dianapolis Is headquarters for more
big national organizations than any
other city, and the leaders, at least,
have found him a useful friend and
supporter. = =: :. ~. 49, -
On the other hand Taft and Can
non are decidedly unsatisfactory to
labor. Cannon Is regarded, rightly or
wrongly, as the =, one immovable
obstacle in the way Of the labor lests-
lation which is demanded. Not only
is he charged with being personally
antagonistic to the demands Of labor,
but he is declared to use his power
as speaker, In making up committees.
to prevent such legislation getting
friendly or even fair consideration.
E Politicians Of both parties are con-
vinced that labor is nearer to effective
organization into a political phalanx
than ever before. Perhaps It will be
broken up again by various influences,
but at this time It is not denied that
Samuel Gompers is one Of the men
to be reckoned with. because OF the
appearances, at least, that he has q
great force OF voters at his back.

Insist That Government by Men
Only is Not Government of r.
the People.
GIVE WOMEN FRANCHISE
Democracy q Form Of Govern
Where Power Rests in the
Whole People.

WARREN, Ohio, May 2o.-we call
our country democracy, and pride
ourselves upon its being one. What
Is. a. democracy? A democracy is a
form Of government where the final
power rests in the people. Not a
part Of the people; that makes an
oligracy or monarchy; but where it
rests on the whole people.
Men Not tho Whole.
Are the men of this country the
whole people. No. Therefore, 80
long as the men alone are the source
OF power Of the government, 1t is not
a government of the people, for tho
people and by the people, it is not a
democracy. 1t is merely a country
under class rule, the class being men,
who, after all, represent but half Of
the population, half Of those that live
under the laws they make.
A Question Of Right.
You may say that women are just
Some are; others are not. Many Of
the slaves of the South were better
off, in material ways, before the Civil
war than they were afterwards, but,
that did not make It right for the
owners to hold them in slavery Just
SO, the men of this country have no
right to hold the women in political
slavery. And one Of the worst things
about slavery was the bad effect, it
had upon the masters. The political
slavery Of women is not uplifting to
the masters. '~'
Progress the Slogan. J.
This is the day Of progress. A
country must progress, or it will fall
behind, and another will take It's
place. A democracy cannot progress
unless its people Is growing in INTEL
ligence and moral force. We that be-
1ieve in democracy claim that the use.
Of the ballot is the chief means Of
developing in the citizens this intelli-
gsnce and moral force The women
are deprived Of this great means Of
development and therefore must fall
behind. Can the race advance and
develop as it should, when one half
hangs like a milestone about the neck
Of the other half? Give woemn the
vote. and let them grow with the
men.
Protection the Watch Word.
You may say that women don't
want to vote. Some do not; others
do. And. many Of these others not
only want to, but need to. for tha
protection of themselves and their
children. Is it right that those that
do not want to should say to these
others that need to, I'VE do not want
to vote, so shall not vote?"
Those Who Oppose Us.
Do you know what people are most
against women's voting9 It is the
women Of means, in comfortable cir
cumstances, who do not need it for
the good Of their bodies and do not
realize that they need it for the good
Of their souls, and who are afraid to
let their working sisters have It..
Why? Because they are afraid of the
people, afraid of the workingman,
afraid Of democracy. They think that
the women's vote will strengthen
the workingmens vote, the popular
vote, and they are afraid. And thew
may we'll be afraid, If they do not
trust in the people, for the real peo-
pie are going to win, and the day Of
their victory will be hastened when
women can vote.-susan w. F1tzger-

SLOVENIAN STILL STONING THE
GOVERNOR

On Friday night N. B. Broward, pres

large crowd at the big tent in this
city.
1t was understood that his talk
would be upon the question Of drain
age, and many went to hear him on
that important question.
He was presented to his audience
by Mrs. Carry Nation and introduced
as 'Our dry governor" and proceeded
for time to deliver a very fair imita
ton of a prohibition speech.
Has the governor an idea that the
people of this county have forgotten
his position on the dispensary, when
in the legislature he was at the head
and front of strong movement to re
Quire the entire state of Florida to GO
into the liquor business?
Only a short time ago a keeper OF
blind tiger at ca Breeze was arrest
ed, was tried and convicted in the
criminal court OF record OF VOluS1a
county. He was fined one thousand
dollars for his violation of law
The case was appealed, and pending
decision the blind tiger keeper at
tempted to fee the country. The Off
GERS went after him and brought him
back.
The verdict and judgment of the
criminal court were affirmed.
Then what happened? The board

thousand dollars to a fine Of ten, and
turned the criminal loose.

as his attitude toward the primary
