LABOR DECLINES
CAMPAIGN GOLD BRICK
Cannot Be Deceived Into Voting for
Bryan and His Hollow
Promises.
The Democratic candidate Ignores
Pointed Questions Regarding the
Deeds of His Party Towards Or
CANNED Labor and Representative
Unionists Denouncs Him.

The professed friendship OF Bryan
and the Democratic party for labor is
being relentlessly exposed. During the
last few weeks the veil has been torn
asunder and Bryan and his platform
maker, Haskell, have been thoroughly
exposed to the world.
THAT Bryan's record as a friend
of labor Is the fimsiest Of all public
men in this line there can be no posi-
bic doubt" declares The Labor World
of Pittsburg. "He has never been any
thing else than a talker and he has
talked so much that he has espoused
all shades and angles of the great la
Dor question without performing a sin
gle act in the interests Of the wage
worker. He is just the same Bryan
to-day that he ever was and the other
night in New York when asked to deny
that he ever made the statement that
American working men were public
beggars,' he refused to answer It. He
made the statement when fighting in
Congress against the demands Of the
lass Workers Union.
Bryan Does Not Answer Questions.
"A number of the most direct and
important questions on his attitude to-
ward labor's real interest have been
submitted to Bryan and so far he has
not condescended from his pedestal to
offer a definite reply. He has been
asked Are you aware of the fact that
since your nomination, and your in
dOrsement by the executive officers of
the American Federation OF Labor, the
governor of Alabama, one of your
friends and allies, has used his power
to crush the labor organizations in
that State, placing troops at the dis
posal of the mine owners, and will
you, now that the matter has been thus
brought to your attention, publicly re-
pudiate and condemn Governor Co
mer's hostility to organized labor? This
is by all means q most vital question
to every trade unionist in the country
who intends TO vote next November.
THE following questions have also
been submitted to him
"'Is ii not a fact that at the present
time, in the State Of Mississippi. in
the city of Vicksburg. to be exact, the
members of the unions concerned with
the river shipping are on strike, and
that the Democratic administration of
that city is trying to break the strike
by sending honest, law-abiding strik-
ers who refuse to 'scab" to the chain
gangT'
Assuming that you are ignorant of
these facts at present, will you not, as
leader Of the Democratic party, make
immediate inquiries upon the matter,
and. If you find the facts to be as
stated, will you openly and %unequivo-
cally condemn the Democrats of Mis-
sissippi who are responsible for those
and repudiate them?

Wabasha Herald: Governor johnson
is the one man III public life
upon whom the people refuse to
draw party lines. He is a democrat
Of the old school, clean IN his life,
cultured in his character and in
tellectual beyond the pale OF politics.
He has been and is Minnesota best
governor. He did not want the Office
but the people wanted HIM. Compare
him with Jacob F. Jacobson and Mr..
jacobson surely suffers by the con-
trast. The man who has met both
men will not, if he be free to vote as
his best judgment directs, vote for
jacobson. He can't do it and be a
xood citizen There are many who
win not have chance to see Jacobson,
as his managers are keeping him
under cover as much as they can. It
is the honest belief of those who have
made thorough canvass of the state
that jacobson will be showed under by
a vote of thirty to forty thousand.
That will be the end of Jake and it
will be Minnesota's compliment to
johnson, Minnesota's best governor.

s. P. Casey, democratic nominee
for county treasurer, is one of he
most expert bookkeepers in the state.
Mr.. Casey has been bookkeeper all
his life. For more than twenty five
years resident of Little Falls, he has
had charge of the books of some of the
largest mercantile and milling con-
Germs in the city and with bookkeep-
ing in all its branches he is perfectly
familiar. His qualifications for the
position of county treasurer are
admitted, and his honesty and
integrity unquestioned. Mr.. Casey is
by nature quick at figures an accurate
and rapid accountant, a thing of much
Importance in an Office where, besides
general bookkeeping, interest pay
ments on state lands, etc., must be
figured. S. P. Casey will make a
first class treasurer in every respect.

The splendid campaign Governor
Johnson is making but deepens his
hold on minds and hearts of the
people. He is conquering partisanship
and prejudice and proving to the people
OF Minnesota that no mistake was
made in 1904 and 1906. There has
been talk of a detection. We have
been unable to find It, Like the
million frogs, the detection has always
been somewhere else. In our judg-
ment, the prospects are good for a
victory which Will set the mark for
years to come Attorney General
Young says the interests nominated
jacobson. That should be enough for
the voters. Morrison county should
and will endorse the able administra-
ton of John A. johnson. and should
do 1t by decisive majority.

aOOsIER CRITICISM OF TAFT.

Indianapolis News, Ind The
remedy for all present abuses in the
body polite that Judge Taft offers is
to keep the republicans in power.
They alone know how to handle these
delicate matters (Just look at the
present state of thlngs!) The dem
ocrats must not be allowed to manage
affairs because they had no ex-
perlence. Is such plea worthy of a
presidential candidate? As though
half the people of the country could
not be trusted to govern it because
forsooth, for some years they have not
done so! This is like the mother 8
advice to her daughter to learn to
swim but not to go near the water.
OF course democrats In the Senate
and House all these years count for
nothing. Everything democratic Is
incapable and unknowing. Dem
care and caution and think that an
day or a week, by law. How can he
know this? He has just told us that
the democrats have had no experience
in government. By what occult
process, then, does he arrive at their
conception of things?
As little impressive is the statement
that the republicans are not re-
sponslble for the abuses that have
resulted in the conditions that
surround us today these are due to
human nature, ambitious men turning
progress (great prosperity as he has
said elsewhere) to their vicious pur-
poses. So the republican party is
responsible only for the good, and
everything evil is the result of human
nature! But Mr.. Taft does not allow
that Judgment for the democrats.
In 1898 it was the mere prospect of
the democratic party's tariff that
brought on panic; no evils of human
nature about it. Surely 1898 and 1907
cannot be SO different. Either human
nature operated in both cases or
neither, and if democratic ''pro-
spects'' and the feeble German Wilson
bill wrought one panic the DINGHY bill
and II years Of republican rule
wrought the other.

SOME STRAW VOTES.

Albert Lea, Mimi, Oct. ia
straw vote taken by L. NJ. Kaplan of
about one third Of the city but con-
fined to the business district, gave the
following figures: Taft 1866, Bryan
1913; jacobson III, johnson i84:
Chain 26, Debs 10; Haggard :, Moore
2. Many Taft men voted for John
son, while about all the Chain and all
, the Debs votes were IN favor of the
governor. A few Bryan men gave
preference for jacobson, and now and
then Chain man declared for the
republican candidate for governor.
AS this is about one third the vote
of the city, it appears that Bryan will
get far more votes than Parker four
years ago and that jacobson will get
practically the same vote Cole received
two years ago.
In the country the Jacobson vote is
sure to be much larger, as estimates
on townships carried by johnson two
years ago give Jacobson good
majorities.
