I'D rather be happy dad than a

This remark, made by Ex-Governor
Tom Waller of Connecticut, explains
why he STAYED off the stampede in his
favor in the Democratic state conven-
ton. He refused the nomination that
he might not embarrass his son,
candidate for appointment by Repub-
licans to office. II had to do it for my
boy" the ex-governor said privately to
his friends
When his boom first became promi-
nent Mr.. Waller sought to kill 1t by
public announcements that he had
twice bolted Bryan. When this failed
he reiterated again and again that he
would not take the nomination. New

ton hall men on the floor and in the
galleries leaped to their feet in q tu-

uraljzaiiOn Denounced.

SEATTLE, Oct. 29.-Organized labor
in Seattle went on record at meeting
last night as fayoring the democratic
candidates from top to bottom, as
against the republican policies out
lined in the national republican plat
form, as opposed to the naturalization
of Asiatics, of government by injunc-
ton and pledged itself to the demo-
cratic ticket, not because of the name,
but to further the interests of organized
labor. The meeting was presided over
by Frank w. COterill, president of
the State Federation of Labor, and
the hall was crowded to it's capacity.
Following the address of E. Backus,
representative of the Asiatic Exclu-
sion League, in which he dwelt upon
the Importance to labor of voting for
the party that would protect labor's
in terests through adequate exclusion
laws, resolution was read and pre-
scented by P. B. Gill, member of the
Exclusion League, and unanimously
adopted by the Central Labor Coun-
Gil.
The resolution is as follows:
Inasmuch as President Roosevelt's
"pclicies' have received the endorse
ment of the republican party and the
presidential candidate, William H.
Taft, has further agreed to carry out
said policies" it certainly behooves
all good citizens to look into the mat
ter and see whether such ''policies"
would be blessing or curse.
President Roosevelt in his message
says:
81 recommend to congress that an
act be passed specifically providing
for the naturalization of Japanese
who come here expecting to become
American citizens" Page l.,
Vol. Al, part 1, Fifty-ninth Congress
sional second session, Congressional
Record, December 4, 1906.
Do the working people of the Pa
cific Coast want the recommendation
carried out?
Do the working people anywhere in
the United States want it carried out?
If they do they should vote for Taft.
Believing that this question should
be brought to the attention of all vot-
ers in this state and on this coast, the
Central Labor Council of Seattle and
vicinity in open session assembled this
twenty-eighth day of October, 1908,
do protest against the election of
William H. Taft as President of the
United States, and further,
We commend the action of the dem
ocratic party and its candidate, Will.
lam Jennings Bryan, for guaranteeing
protection to American labor through
adequate exclusion laws.
