 T wish to say that no matter what labor may do under the pernicious tn- fiuence of MT. Sampel Gompers and those associated with him in this campaign. if am successful the polIti- cal position of labor organizations will not deter me In the slightest from doing what can to aid proper legisla- ton in the future and will not in any way diminish my constant interest In the securing to those who earn their livelihood by the sweat of their brow. as near an equal opportunity for prog ress toward better things as human society can afford them. I am conf- dent that many of the wage-earninB class will support the Republican tick ct because I know their intelligence. and am sure that they are able to de. termine their real interests and will not be led astray by the fustian and buncombe of such appeals as those which Mir. Gompers Is now making to his supposed followers"

If the Standard oil Company were anxious to bring about my elec- | tion. should take 1t That the last thing that would be done would be to advertise It's support of me. Therefore
 this publication which Mr. Bryan Is l now making so much of 1t seems to me has but little significance in at- | tempting to show that the Standard oil

 me. That is not the way things are done.
 There is gentleman from your city with a very lively imagination growing even more lively as the re- sponsibility of the campaign grows
