or not. whenever a cross is placed in
the square preceding the name of any

There is great confusion in the

voting.

i, he may give to one candidate or di-
vide between two candidates OF three

the ballot should be marked and how

lowing quotations of section II of the
state law to regulate the manner OF
holding elections

The sherman Land Grab Exposure

In attacking James S. Sherman, re-
publican nominee for vice president
the New York World declares Nj.
Sherman was one of coterie planning
a gigantic fraud in New Mexican
lands 1t failed, through being
blocked in the senate.
''This is the story of Edmund Burke,
an attorney of Los Angeles, CAL, and
a former business partner of James
S. Sherman" says the report printed

The story, says the World, is pre-
scented precisely as it was dictated
by Mr.. Burke at Denver few weeks
ago in the presence of Thomas NJ.
Patterson. a former United States SEN
ator; former Governor Osborne of
Wyoming and w. J. Thomas, an at

The World states it has investigated
the facts set forth by Mr.. Burke

of the man from whom it obtained
the documents, and feels justified in

Humor aao Philosophy
BY DUNCAN N. SMITH
WHEN WE DON'T NEED HIM.

We scon at the work Of the doctor
And question his merit and skill,
Expressing opinions that maybe
He'll cure or perhaps he will kill;
Make light of his pills and his powders
And hint he is working for gain,
Then send in a hurry to get him
When smitten somewhere by a pain
When health is our portion abundant
And never a pain or an ache
Is gnawing away at our system
And keeping US thereby awake
We laugh at the cut Of his whiskers
And out of his skill take fall,
But when we get something like symp.
toms
We send in a hurry up call.
When we haven't the sign of a tooth
ache.
When we haven't q bunion or corn,
When we haven't a stomach that's balky
It's easy the doctor to scorn
But when forty kinds of diseases,
A sample of each in the stock,
Alight on u.s. then we surrender
And say he's a pretty good doc.
As patient as Job we surrender
And all of his potions endure
And take every powder and wonder
If more wouldn't hasten the cure.
Our faith in him then is mistaken,
Although we may mildly complain
That he doesn't make few passes
And scatter instanter the pain.

Chicago Labor Leader for Bryan.

John j. Fitzpatrick, president of the
Chicago Federation of Labor, has
come out squarely for William Jen-
nings Bryan. He declares that all
unionists should vote the democratic
ticket. His reasons for his attitude
in the political situation follow:
Il have looked calmly upon the po-
litical situation of this campaign. |
can come to but one conclusion, and
that is that unionists everywhere
should vote for William Jennings
Bryan.
Il do not question the integrity and
honesty of William H. Taft, and do
not say he is purposely foe to union
labor. | do say he is not a friend of
union labor
His very environments have been
such that he can never be friend of
unionists. His attitude when on the
bench has clearly shown this. On
the other hand the environments of
Bryan have made him a most stanch
friend of the people who work. He
is the commoner that we know him as.

bench is enough to convince all union.

When judge in Ohio he had occasion
TO appoint a receiver for a certain

iona in order. according to Mr.. Burke,
to secure secrecy
80 That Mr.. Burke. as the author
izei agent of the company. entered
into an arrangement with the mem
bers OF the land board of the territory
of New Mexico to acquire certain ter
al a cost of about one-tenth of their
value.
"a That Mr.. Burke went to New
Mexico and made the necessary ar
rangements,' giving to Solicitor Gen
eral Bartlett of that territory $500 in
cash, to A. A. Kern, superintendent Of
lands. a draft ON a Philadelphia bank
for $500 and to Governor Otero of New
Mexico draft for $4,000 which went
through the bank of Pueblo, Colo
These officials constituted the land
board of the territory.
50. That the land board in return
gave to the New Mexico Lumber and
Development company an option on
an extensive tract of land, embracing
more than 10000 acres, at the price
of So an acre.
sc. That the land board of the terri
tory printed for the company several
thousand blank applications, ad
dressed to the land board, each ask
ing for a grant of $50 acres, the limit
allowed an individual and that on the
back of these aDDlicatiOnS was nrinted
la power of attorney from the com
pany."
And since this revelation the repub
lican national committee has made
bold effort to print a denial from
Burke, but it was so unreliable in its
character that the Associated Pres:
has so far declined to handle it OF
transmit it to its papers, although
other news agencies in the control Of
the republican national committee
have endeavored to give it circulation

ployes of the road applied to Judge
Taft to have the order of reduction
| in wages rescinded.
81 will now quote from Judge Taft's
decision in that case the worknen
brought to him:
| "'They 1.-THE workingmen) are now
to be put in the attitude of either ac-
ceptlng or rejecting the proposition
of the receiver who employed them at
the reduced wages. If they are not
content with the wages they are not
compelled to accept them and may
retire from the employment. They
have no standing in this court to call
for an adjudication Of any rights
Further on in his decision Judge
! Taft held in effect that the preserva'
ton of the property and it's admins
tration in the interests of those who
owned it was entitled to first con,
sideration.
| ''The wages were cut. The men
working only half time and they
thought that that was a sufficient re
duction in their income.
1.-TWO other similar cases were tried
before Circuit Court Judges Caldwell
and Sanborn of Colorado and in both
of these it was held the receiver had
no power TO reduce the wages of the
men,
| This alone it would seem would
be enough to show that Taft's attitude
toward union labor and all the men
who work is not friendly.
THE attitude of this administration
fhas not beer friendly to labor. We
have known Taft as the injunction
judge for long while. We know
him now as the personal agent OF
President Roosevelt. a man who is
supposed to carry out the policies Of
President Roosevelt. 1t is reasonable
therefore, to suppose that he played
a part in the Danbury hatters' case
which involved the hatters' union.
"Mr. Taft found that his injunction:
were ineffective. They did not &C
complish the purpose he intended
they should. Some other methods t
defeat the unionists were necessar.
in the eyes of the present administfa
ton. Therefore the hatters' unioI
was brought into court and was de
cided. according to the provisions o
the Sherman antitrust law. to be al

Anyone who has studied this situa
ton can come to but one conclusion
and that is that Taft was party il
