THE CANDIDACY OF HON. ADAM B.
LITTLEPAGE.

The announcement of Hon.
Adam B. Littlepage as a candi
date for the democratic nominal
ton for governor appears in this
issue. He needs no words OF COM
mendation to the people here
among whom he has spent his life.
lie will enter the campaign with
the blessing and cordial support of
this county, and with a record as
runner that will bear close in
spection. AS far back as 1883, he
came within $50 votes of being
elected prosecuting Attorney, al
though Golf carried the county for
governor by over 1900. In 1906
he lost this county by only little
over 300, and ran also ahead of
his ticket III Boone and Logan,
carrying the district by SO. He is
an interchangeable worker, a fine
hand-shaker and mixer and a good
speaker. With Fayettc and Kama
VIVA as starters, he will have l16
votes; to this he will add, without
extra effort, strong support in
Clay, Nicholas, Summers, Green
brier, Boone, Logan. Putnam and
Roane. He has now more certain
votes than any candidate yet men
toned and can cover more ground
and do it well. than the best of
them. de is an earnest democrat,
and would make such a canvass as
the needs of the party demand. IT
elected he will nuke a splendid
governor, fair to all interests and
rellglously devoted to the upbuiid

markets of the world. The
worst enemy to such development
is the extremist, who, welding the
power Of the chief executive.
would either unnecessarily cripple
the business Of the railroads, coal
companies and other investors of

laDOrlng classes of those fair con-
dltlons OF wages and environment
to which they are justly entitled.
L believe in the Inherent light of
the people to vote upon all uues

that the people should have the
right to pass, by baiior, upon the

ment, knowing as the prohibition

The people should be left free to
select those who they believe are
best fitted TO represent them and
protect their interests. II honored
with the democratic nomination
for governor, 1 shall put forth nv
best efforts, and use all honorable
means to secure the election of the
entire ticket. 1 am the candidate
of no organization and no faction.

pledged to no interests; but with
an abiding faith iii the honesty of

Victory is within our grasp, and

UNIoNIsM VS.. POLITICS.


You will hear it persistenty
ars ued, Politics must not be
brought into the union" If the
argument is intended to be, that
political parties must not be
brought into the union, we must
heartily agree; but we want the
one who advances this agreement
to stop and consider, and he will
agree that it is absolutely necessary
that the union enter politics-and
enter politics with its whole heart
aud its full energy.
Their ale two kinds of politics
the selfish politics and the patrio-
tic politics. They are known by
their fruits. The former exist for
the sake of plumber, for the offices,
slnecures and soft snaps; the latter
for the welfare of the people; it's
whole heart in the common veal;
while the heart Of the other kind is
for public patronage.
Now, the entry of the unions
into politics is for the purpose of
enforcing patriotic politics. 1t
will never do it completely The
boss will be liable to slip in and
endeavor to make trouble and dis

think, are very often unconscious
of their position), arguing that the

UNION MEN STAND READY.

Whatever the case, now is not the
time to become faint-hearted and
declalm against the necessity for
all men Standing together in de-

through their Organizations. They
must do their best toward strength
en1ng the weak spots in their
armor and stand ready all the
time, resolved not to become dis.
couraged even though things look
dark and dismal.
We are not going to be shot to
pieces even though there are Ger.
tain short-sighted interests that
hope to see that result, as financial
depression becomes felt more keen.
ly, tor we believe that we have
not quite reached the bottom oil
the depression. This is not said
In any pessimistic spirit, but be.
cause the conditions seem to war.
rant that belief. In the heavy
manufactures of iron and steel
business will be slow to resume.
Railroads, for instance, use about
TO per cent of these products in
equipment requirements. The,
all have mere engines and cars than
they can use and will not buy
until trafic needs or ordinary de-
probation forces them into the
market. And, SO it is in other
lines OF like character. Other
business LOOKS more promising and
Will help some. So we must do
the best we can for each other
while things look threatening.
We can hell those who are unfor-
tunate as far as we are able and
maintain the strength of the
brotherhood every where as we did
when times were good and work
plenty.
Numbers of our men are out Of
work; others in danger of loosiny
their employment, but those who
have work ought to see the need
for doing all they can for their
fellows, for in doing it they are
doing as much for themselves. r.
may not appear that way, but it is
true.
There are many men in the SER
vice who are with us and we need
them now more than we did. Let
every man settle down to woIk
tor membership. This is bette,
time than ever for there are MANY
men without work who could lend
their efforts toward getting cvely
man in the organization where be
is needed to protect wages and
working conditions. Think this
over and get to work wherever
work can be done. Let every MAJ,
know we want him and that he.
needs us even more than wa do

While it is true that there ar,

Is that there will be no Concerted !
to revise existing condi |

in business for the worse. Bnt
let US not wait for trouble. LOT
