LABoR IN DEMocRATIc STATES.
Coal Miners In Alabama subjugated
Into Cringing Dependencies.

-
That there's Nrift within the Lutte
of the Gompers proposition to deliver
the labor vote Of the country to Dem
ocracy is becoming more apparent.
While Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Gompers are
making special appeals to labor, neither
refers to the deplorable condition OF
laber In the Democratic South. Mr..
John F. White, for six years president
Of the Iowa United Mine Workers, and
now one Of the national officers Of the
United Mine Workers Association. who
investigated mining labor conditions LII
the South. is not so reticent. In re-
cent address to Local Union No. 81 Of
Abba, Iowa, he told OF prosecutions Of
labor In Alabama where coal miners
strike was in progress He ID reported
as saying: saThe miners OF Alabama
have been subjugated until ajor!ty
have become bringing dependencies Al
most daily some OF the laboring men Of
that State were mercilessly shot down
for daring to assert their rights as
American citizens. Ninety-one members
OF the Mine Workers Association were
thrown into jail without haying conn
mitted any crime other than becoming
members Of the organization Ala
bama is q State absolutely under CEN
troll Of Bryan democracy.

The Republican Is party Of action.
1t rests upon what it has done, and
not upon what 1t possibly may do In
the future 1t has fostered everything
that has tended to make the country
great and prosperous. It has moved
with the people. 1t has kept abreast
OF the times. It has ever sbood ready
to modify an old policy or to adopt a.
new one when the business interests Of
the country have needed the modifca-
ton or the change. It has protected
American industries. 1t has protected
American labor by stringent immigra-
ton laws. It protected the credit and
business stability Of the country by
prompt declaring In favor OF a gold
standard, and writing it in the stat
utes When the time came 1t prompt
" seized upon the time and the OPP
portunity to begin the aAeedy construc-
tion of the great isthmian canal. It
has never hestated to assume re-
sponsibility. When the cruelties in
Cuba threatened the interests Of Amer
lea the Republican party resolved to
put an end to those cruelties. When
trusts sprang up it enacted law to
curb and control those trusts. When
commerce was at the mercy Of the
railroads, 1t provided fer a commission
to regulate them. When shippers were
oppressed by transportati companies
it promptly enacted a rate law. 1t has
met every emergency In war or peace,
met 1t in a wise, prudent and states
manllke manner. It is progressive when
progressiveness means .upbuilding. It
Is conservative when conservatism
means the nlaintenance Of peace, order
and prosperity. It has been prompt
without undue haste. Peace and pros.
perity at home honor and respect

thought that if a decision could be
rendered by October 20 to 80, it
would give time then to attend to the
duties prescribed by the law with ref
erence to the printing and distribu-s
ton Of these little ballots.
Claim Law Unconstitutional.
There are many separate reasons
assigned to allege the invalidity of
the primary law SO far as it relates
to the nomination and election of
United States senators, hut the main
grounds are two one a violation of
the state constitution in that the
pledge required of legislative candi-
dates to abide the result of the :pri-
mary selection Of a senator is an
additional requirement and qualifica-
ton for Office to those specified by the
state and therefore void; and second,
that by the manner of election OF a
senator, the election is practically
taken out of the hands of the state
Legislature, which is required by the
constitution of the United States to
elect the senators of the United
States. Other allegations against the
validity of the law are that it adds
to the general election laws, by In
Producing a new subject to be voted
for, and that the legislation is not
expressed in the title of the primary
law; that citizens of the state are de-
priyed Of their rights in that they
cannot become candidates before the
Legislature, fairly and upon the same
footing with other candidates for the
senate; that the provisions of the
law apply only to parties now organ
lied, depriying new parties organized
i thereafter from participating In the
Ielection of senators.
j Specific Grounds Assigned.
The affidavit and petition of the re
llator alleges that all of the primary
] law relating to the method Of nom
mating and selecting party candi.
dates for the United States senate Ii
unconstitutional upon the following
/ grounds:
I. That they each of them violate
and are in conflict with section 8
land 4 of article Of the constitution
q of the United States.
2. That they and each Of then
violate and are in conflict with sec
ton 1 of article IA, being the 14tl
amendment Of the constitution Of til,

CAMPAIGN EXPENDITURES.

Democratic Party Cannot Claim IN
sullied Virtue az to Source Of It's
Revenues. $=5z 5s.5 /.
(From Gov. Hughes Youngstown
Speech
s.Mr. Bryan also has much to say
with regard to corrupt practices and
campaign expenditures. But he omits
to give due credit to the Republican 4
party for what it has accomplished
with regard to these important reforms,
an accomplishment the more notswor- s
thy In the light of Mr.. Bryan's reiter-
ated criticisms OF contributions to Re
publican campaign funds. In the State
Of, New York Republican Legislature
In 1905 passed statute prohibiting
corporations from making any political :
contributions directly or Indirectly, and i
providing that officers, directors or I
stockholders participating In or con- 1
aenting to the violation Of the law /
should be guilty Of q criminal offense.
And know of no more drastic statute !,
in this country with regard to the pub
Hcity Of campaign contributions and 1
for the prevention OF corrupt practices
than that passed In New York under
Republican auspices. These were not
promises of an opposition party seek
ing power, but enactments by party
in power securing genuine reforms.
Proper recognition must, Of course, be
given to the patriotic Democrats who
supported these reforms, but they were
enacted by a Republican administra-
ton. Congress has also legislated
against political contributions by cor
porations. Purity Of elections and free
opportunity for the interrupted express
sion OF the popular will lie at the foun-
dalton OF every reform and cannot be
too carefully safeguarded. And there
should be federal legislation securing
proper publicity of and accounting for
campaign contributions in connection
with federal elections. But 1t must
fairly bearecognized that the skirts Of
! neither party have been clean If we
search Mr.. Bryan's following we shall
and not few who have sinned, and
/ also those who, If we may judge from
their local activities. are still nnrepent-
ant. The Democratic party cannot
claim unsullied virtue either with re-
/ gard to the source OF Its revenues or
LTD readiness to receive them.
