PRINCE handles both Bryan and Haskell
without gloves, saying in part:
The duplicity of Bryan as a apro-
fessed friend of labor has been ex-
posed beyond the shadow of a doubt
and this exposure has in turn laid bare
the hypocrisy of those who want to
throw the labor vote to Bryan be-
cause he is labor's friend.
There never was, from labor point
of view, more timely exposure than
that of Haskell. for it. at a most op-
perfume time. lays bare the insincerity
and the absolute hypocrisy of Bryan as
a so-called friend of labor
Haskell Influence still Felt.
Although Haskell has been elimin-
ated from the front rank or surface of
the democratic campaign, it is impos-
sibe to sever Bryan from the in
fuences of this man and those whom
he represents: indeed. despite the fact
of the thorough exposure of Haskell as
a despotic foe of union labor and as a
| tool of the Standard Oil company and
as a promoter of paper railroads, etc.
Bryan has not in any sense impressed
an opinion against him. On the con-

ferred against him. Bryan does not

we assail Haskell as a most relent-
less and dastardly and two-faced foe

ago and we are of the opinion thai
Bryan knew this to be a fact long
ago.
