How the North Country Sees II

The north country is not as "dead
easy'' as some may think. 1t was we,
and not Enterprise, who nominated w.
q. Locke-and that before any other
man was in the field for nomination
for county commissioner. We had
nothing against Mr.. Mcdonald, he Is
u splendid man, but we thoug ght we
were and still think we are entitled to
a representative on the county board.
A court house proposition must soon
be considered, wherever it is decided
that che site shall be. Mr.. Locke has
not made his opinion on this subject
known, but from the cautious, business.
like way he handles his own affairs
we do not think any one need be afraid
OF his needlessly running the county
I'm debt.

OF such labels or trademarks by un-

The foregoing presents for considera-

No platitude can upset them. They
prove the records OF the Republican

standard, but that labor can look only
to the Republican party for assurance

LABOR LEGISLATION
Republican States Have Been Lib
eral In Legislation for
Labor.
Democratic States Have Done Little
to Make Labor Conditions Better
Within Their Bounds.

1t is a fact that every important step
for the benefit of American labor has
been taken either by Republican
Congress and administration, or by the
Legislature of Republican State, Of
course with the consent. and sometimes
by the advice, of the State executive.
Democratic Congresses have been no
tally negligent in this respect, and
Democratic States have either done
nothing TO make labor conditions bet
tor within their bounds, or have slowly
and reluctantly followed at a distance
In the trail OF Republican reforms.
