President of State Federation of Labor Does Not Like Can didate's Use of Name
 on Circular.
PAMPHLET IS MISLEADING
Republican Nominee for Governor An. pears to Be Hand in Glove With Labor Leader in Statement,
 But He Isn't.

Following a pamphlet issued by tho managers of George l.. Lll- ley. very carefully worded, with tho manifest object of bringing the labor votes over to the side of the republican candidate, no matter what the means. Charles ]. Donahue, president of the State Federation of Labor yesterday came out with the statement that he was for Judge A. Heaton Robertson. first, last and always, for governor. and urged the aboring men not to be deceived by the back page of the pam- phlet which brings Mir. Donahue's nams up in connection with bill which Mir. Lillcy claims to favor.
 Under tho caption State Lcgisla- tion," MT Lilley says he Is in favor of an Employers Liability bill. Then iu parenthesis it states.
 Charles | Donahue, president of ths state branch of tho American Federa- ton of Labor Is on commission which will report such bill to tho next legis- lature.'
 So far as MT. Donahue is concerned there Is nothing in the paragraph which is not perfectly true. But ho objects to this latest game of the Lil- ley managers to get the labor vote by making 1t appear that Mir. Donahue Is In favor of Mir. 1.illey for governor or in favor of his policies because they arc his.
 "Labor''s Friend Is printed in big black letters at the top of the front cover of the pamphlet. Under this ail- nouncement is the latest campaign picture of Mir. Llley The second and third pages arc taken Up with Mir. Lil- leys record in congress, where accord ing to the pamphlet lle favored every good and perfect thing and opposed ev- erything with the slightest semblancs to corruption and graft. In His Rec ord in Congress" probably through an oversight on the part of tho printer, the submarine boat investigation Is not mentioned, nor Is his strained relation- ship with James Schoolcraft Sherman. republican candidate for president. On the back page. taken Up with state legislation he Is in favor of ev- degree help the workingmen Tho pamphlet ia being distributed all over the state.
