Prediction of W. W. Beattie, Former
President Of the Telegrapher's
Union.

An enthusiastic Taft and Sherman rally
was held at republican headquarters last
night under the auspices Of the Iowa Re-
publican Club. Several hundred persons
attended and speeches Of purely politi-
cal nature and all predicting the election
of the repub' lean ticket next month were
made by Judge f. P. Seeds Of Iowa
Joseph D. Sullivan and William H. Flem-
ing. William Jennings Bryan was Sc
verely arraigned by all Of the speakers.
judge Leeds spoke Of him as a man OF
words and not Of deeds, and declared
that he has been dealing in fallacies. and
that he has never accomplished one act OF
legislation for the benefit Of the people
he claims to represent. He a.so made
the prediction that Taft would carry Iowa
by a plurality OF at least 1900.
The necessity that republicans in this
city who have votes In the states return
to their respective homes and cast their
ballots was emphasized by Mr.. Sullivan
in his address. Mr. Fleming told Of the
political history Of Iowa and said that
many OF the laws passed by Congress
since 1852 had been aided by sons Of Iowa.
He said that state will always be loyal
the republicans.
Promises Bryan Big Labor Vote. :
W. II. Beattie. former president of the
Commercial Photographers Union. in an
address before about $50 members of the
ton last night in the Munsey building
said that IS per cent Of the labor vote OF
the country would go for Bryan. Mr..
Bea;t.e said he had been a republican
until the Chicago convention turned a
deaf ear to labor.
From the time since I first voted
have cast my vote for the republican
party" he said. but on the third Of No
vember l am going to vote for William
J. Bryan and for the protection OF labor
with the Manufacturers Association,
headed by Van Cieave, arrayed against
us. trying to choke the very existence
out Of us. I can see no reason for any
iaborng man casting his lot WITH the
republican party. Van Cleave and his
association are part Of the grand old
party. Their actions have been upheld
by republican Judges and by the lead
ers of the party. The party and the
trusts, which are hand in hand, are now,
labor. If Taft is elected it will mean
the death Of organized labor for four
years. Every move We make would be
throttled. 1t behooves every labor1ns man
to cast his vote for the reign OF democ-
racy II he does not do SO he will be the
loser
Others who addressed the meeting were
George v. johnson Of Washington state
NJ G. Brink of Pennsylvania and William
H. Moore Of Maryland.
