ed without consulting his following,
or without having his free and best
consent, then there would have been
scarcely amy Republican party left in
the southern part OF the State, and
I'm the northern part It would have
been chilled and demoralized. And
yet this was the demand OF the Lin
coin Republican party. The south
Iern Republicans OF the State viii be
heard from yet. and some dby prob
ably teach a severe lesson to the
domineering and arbitrary methods
of the Republicans Of the northern
part Of the State.
Swisher and his close friends had
these facts in mind all the time, and
while Mr.. Swisher was willing to sac
irfice his personal interest, he had to
consider his following before retiring
and have it satisfied and loyal to the
party.
Senator Elkins's action in this
whole transaction from the date of
the nomination until the retirement
of Mr.. Swisher, cannot be too highly
commended. He stood by the regu-
lar nominee as 1t was his duty. At
the same time he was willing to con-
slider the opposition and the difficult
ties surrounding the situation, and in
case 1t became necessary for Mr..
Swisher to withdraw, worked to
bring 1t about with his (swisher's)
full consent and entire satisfaction
to his friends and followers every
where, and especially to the 43 per
cent. of the entire Republican vote
of the State located in the southern
part of the State.

REGISTRAR ABSENT
Voters in Large Number Are
Thus Deprived of the
Chance to Register.

Many voters were sorely dis(o-
pointed, when they went to the
mayors Office to present themselves
for registration so they can vote at
the coming election. The cause of
their disappointment was the alb
sence of the registrar. Jasper S.
Kyle, who was out OF the city.
The cdlnty court had fixed Friday
as the last general registration day
in the county and the mayors office
as the place for the registrar in ttat
precinct to sit that day. These facts
had been widely advertised and vot-
ers gathered for the purpose of
availing themselves of the privilege
the law gives them, and 1t is little
wonder they were both disappointed
and worried.

REBUKES RICH REVEL Frs

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-The
wealthy diners who patronize the
terrace tables of the ST. Regis hotel
are wondering who spoke to them
last night.
Haggard and gray haired, an old
man walked up Fifth avenue and
saw the diners making merry.
Standing in the street, he cried
aloud:
Listen to me, you men and wo-
men. Listen to one who once pos
sessed fortune such as you are
now thoughtlessly sowing to the
winds in the never ceasing hunt for
happiness. Once | was as wealthy
as any one of you.
Some day you will all tremble.

warn. Look at me. Once i"
Then DR.. l. l.. Hill stepped out

Later Dr. Hill refused to disclose

was his answer; "but he is now

owners, directors and managers
who, recognizing their obligation to
the public, earn their salaries by
conscientious devotion to the work
entrusted to them, and those UNI
scrupulous "Napoleons of finance"
who use railroads as mere pawns
in a great gambling game without
regard to the rights of employees
or to the interests of the patrons.
1t Is in the interest of honest rail-
reading and legitimate investment
that the democratic party seeks to
ascertain the present value of the
railroad properties and to prevent
for the future the watering of
stock and the issue of fictitious
capitalization; and it is in the in
terest of both the railroads and the
public that it seeks only such re-
auctions in transportation rates as
can be made without wage reduc-
ton. without deterioration in the
service and without prejudice to
Legitimate investments. The demo-
cratic party insists that in the mat
ter of regulation of railroads both
the state governments and the fed
eral government shall act up to,
and yet within, their powers; for
nothing else will restore the conf
dence and good will that ought to
exist between the railroads and the
people. In dealing with manufac-
turing and trading corporations the
democratic party draws distinc-
ton between those corporations
and they constitute the great ma.
jority of all the manufacturing and
trading corporations-which are
engaged in legitimate effort to
supply what the consumers need,
and the very few corporations
which are seeking by conscience
less methods to take advantage of
the public on the one hand, while
on the other hand they bankrupt
competitors, Cypress the producers
of raw materials and deal arbitrar-
lily with their employees. 1t endea-
vors to protect the innocent cor
porations by visiting punishment
upon those corporations which are
guilty of attractions of the moral
and the statute law. Here, too, our
platform is specific and no one can
use its language to brighten any
business man whose transactions
are fair and whose income is hon
estly earned.
mo one can contrast the plain,
straightforward declarations of our
party with the vague and ambigu-
Gus utterances of the republican
leaders and the republican candi-
date without recognizing that our
appeal is to the judgment and good
sense of the voters who desire JUS
tice for themselves and insist upon
justice being done by others. Our
party, if entrusted with the power,
will remedy the abuses which have
grown up under republican rule,
and yet remedy those abuses with
due regard to constitutional limit
ations and without injury to any
legitimate business interest.

IN TI4ELABOR WORLD TODA Y

Rumors of possible widespread
trouble in the railway labor world
continue to crop out at various
places, and it is question as to
how long serious clashes between
various corporations and their en-
ployes can be averted. The strike
of the machinists on the Denver &
Rio Grande has caused the men,
bers of the international associa-
ton to decide by referendum vote
to strike on all Gould roads. the
officers to name the date.
The strike of tn boilermakers on
the Lehigh Valley road threatens to
spread to other lines If the man
agements countenance the repair
ing of boilers for the Lehigh.
The switchmen and some other
employees on the Lackawanna may
walk out almost any day, officials
at Buffalo declaring that no settle
ment appears to be in sight.
The engineers on the electrical
zone of the New York. New Haven
& Hartford and the New York Cen
trail lines have become aroused at
a proposed "readjustment" of
wages, as follows, 1t is reported:
Wages to be reduced from $3.S5 to
$3.50; hours of labor to be in
creased from 10 to II per day.
The Pennsylvania management
issued orders to officials that EN-
ployes must not be permitted to or
ganize, except those branches with
which agreements exist, such as
the engineers and conductors. Sc
cret conferences are being held by
representative of the "undesir'
ables" to map out lines of action.
1t has leaked out that railway
managers in Chicago are again dis.

improves materially this month.

HUNTINGTON, Ore. Sept. g.
Claude Kelsey, age eight, son OF
C. w. Kelsey, while playing with a
loaded brass shotgun shell was
seriously wounded. He had placed
the shell on a block of wood and
driven it in as far as possible,
then taking a nail and placing on
the cap, he hit 1t with a hammer,
causing it to explode.
A portion of it wounded him on
the hand and right leg above the
knee, also in the stomach. His
little brother and baby sister were
near by and the baby was slightly

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-Police-
man Winters arrested Gertrude

terday, charged with masquerading

looking young person, in mans at

that the person was a girl. When
locked up Miss Williams said that
she had failed to get job as a
woman and had borrowed her
brothers clothes, believing that
she would be more likely to be
given a chance to earn an honest
living as a man.

was arrested on the same charge

In declaring picketing unlawful
the supreme court of Georgia
struck organized labor the hardest
blow ever received in the south.
The case was carried to the highest
court by the machinists, who had
been enjoined by a lower court
from picketing an iron works In
Atlanta. The decision of the SUI
preme court means that henceforth
strike is badly crippled in the
state of Georgia from the outset,
and that the rights of free speech
and assemblage upon the public
highways are forbidden.
In every strike the employers
and the unionists engage in con-
test to win the nonunionists to
their respective sides. The employ
ers send out agents to lure strike
breakers and the unions send out
pickets to persuade the strike
breakers to join their cause. The
Georgia supreme court declares, in
so many words, that employers are
perfectly justified in taking men
away from the union If they can,
but II is all wrong for the union
lists to take men away from the
employer.
