..312e,elf mas not been lacking in his
..p--.,rwsnaner activities. Sometimes, in
as@s1 he has been jeered at by the OPP
ts7AsSitiop because in 1896 before he was
G. EA minated he was writing articles for
r. m. omaha World-Herald. 1t seems
.e-rszr7eus that the only thing man can
n without being rdicued by the Re
s5,Q,lcan press is to be federal judge
axa,5 issue injunctions against labor. as
IS fts AIr. Taft or to be corporation
zxayer and take fees from the Stand

.sc there go into the campaign two

& IL candidates are concerned, as the
Representative of the working element

II I'm who has fought his own fight,
N1TNsnl his own way, never held an ap-
