against this particular candidate, for9
all that was necessary was to put a
cross in the ring in front of the op-t
position candidate. II
Day in and day out, week in and
week out the campaign was steadily
waged against this man. 1t was not
simply because of his party; nor be-
cause his decisions had sent men to
cells for what they believed was exer.
cising the right to privileges guaran-
teed them by the state constitution
and the constitution of the United
States. These men may have exceeded
their rights. The supreme court of
the state said they did. Let it go at
that. But he was candidate we
wanted to beat, and his adversary was
an entirely reputable lawyer, standing
as high in the estimation of the COM
munity as our antagonist.
! The day of election came and the
judge we were trying to defeat, with
the aid of the labor vote in addition
to or own strength, was triumphantly
elected The labor" vote did not ma
terialize. 1t was voted, all right, for
the registration did not disclose any
great array of ''stay,at-homes." But
the labor vote did not throw it's
strength against the man who had so
often decided against it in his court
room. If labor had gone soldly against
him, no possible detection from our
strict party ranks would have saved
him. for the labor vote, so far as num-
bers was concerned would have over
whelmed him.
There are two sides to this granting
of injunctions, you know. Both great
parties are now getting out state plat
forms protesting against the abuse of
this power. But suppose we say, for
the sake of argument purely, that this
judge was absolutely right in every de-
cison that he made. Even if this
were admitted (Which | deny) he was
a Judge whom labor had ever reason in
the world to wish to retire to private
life.

ANOTHER MAIL ORDER PHASE.

The following sidelight on the mail
order question, from an exchanges
contains more truth than poetry:
A dry goods merchant was starting
down town, when his wife reminded
him of his most important duty dur
ing the day: "Now, my dear, be sure
and don't forget to send to the city for
that new Stanhope, so we can have it
by Sunday. You know our old buggy
is getting so it's not fit to be seen"
Just a few blocks away the mer-
chant who handles vehicles and i'm
plements was sitting at breakfast with
his family. The conversation drifted
around to the near approach of
school. "And that reminds me, John"
said the lady who sat at the head
of the table, q must be going to the
city no later than next week. | must
get goods for the children's school
clothes and then to see about fall
suit for myself, and while Pm there
perhaps I'd better see about new
rug for the parlor and some lace cur
tains for the front windows"
An hour or two later the towns
leading grocer stepped into the bank
to buy a draft, which he was going to
send to catalogue house for
swell" bedroom suit. "How's busi-
ness?" asked the banker ooh, not
so very good" replied the coffee and
sugar merchant, resignedly. Things
are little dull just now"
Before the banker finished writing
the draft dapper young man with
grip stepped and asked how every
| body was. The banker seemed glad to
see him. He was the representative
of big printing establishment in an
other state He and the banker
chatted a few minutes, after which
! the young man inquired casually of
his friend behind the window If he
wanted anything. 'Well, yes" replied
the other good-naturedly. 81 believe I
do. Print us $4,000 checks, 5000
drafts and a couple of thousand letter
heads" The Young man thanked him
cordially for the order and bustled
out
That night the local business men
had a meeting in the town hall to dis
cuss the growth of the mail order evil
| All of the gentlemen mentioned in this
narrative delivered short talks. They
all agreed that the farmers were guilty
of treason to their home merchants
when they persisted in, buying their
goods of mail order houses, and the
meeting closed by adopting strong
resolutions against trading away from
home. --. .-

To ENTER POLITICS
Representatives, Of Organized
Labor to Meet in Raleigh.
WILL MEET APRIL z7Tn
Thirteen Different Labor Organize
tions VIII he Represented-The
Call II Authorized by Brother
hoods Representing 10000 Voters
State and County Tickets May
BE Put Out.

For the first time in its history
organized labor is to take a hand In
North Carolina politics, and will de-
mand certain rights which they be-
lieve they cannot get otherwise. A
special to the Charlotte Observer
from Spencer, n. c., gives the follow
ing account of what the labor unions
propose TO do in the political arena:
Organized labor proposes to make
itself felt in North Carolina politics
this year, as Is shown by call to all
union men in the State to meet at
Raleigh April 27th. The call was
authorized at a mass meeting of un-
ion men held in Salisbury April 11th,
at which the position of unionists
was discussed from political stand
point. 1t was decided to call the
meeting for April 9th, when it is be
lieved that a representative atten-
dance can be had at Raleigh. All
union men in North Carolina are in
vited and urged to be present for the
purpose of devising ways and means
whereby the laboring men might Sc
cure such consideration as they be-
lieve themselves justly entitled to
and which they believe can only be
obtained through Statewide organ
lied movement, and with proper eff
fort. The farmers of the State are
invited to attend and participate in
the convention.
$50 far as is known this is the
first time in history when organized
labor has attempted to enter politics.
The leaders declare that the action is
taken as a matter of self-defense and
in defense of various corporations
and industries served largely by un-
ion men and which, it is asserted,
have suffered greatly at the hands of
professional politicians.
THE call is approved by the fol-
lowing brotherhoods and unions rep
resenting, it is believed, approximate
ly 10000 voters in North Carolina:
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, Division 375; Order Railway
Conductors, Division 221; Interna-
tional Association of Machinists,
bFOIueTuOOu OI DidChSLuilnS: -1io
erhood of Boilermakers, Brotherhood
of Railway Car Men, Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen and Engineers,
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen,
Brotherhood of BARRIERS, Brotherhood
of Painters, Brotherhood Sheet Metai
Workers, Typographical Union, Or
der Railway Telegraphers.
while it is not definitely known
what will be done at the meeting at
Raleigh, it is believed by some that
the various unions will put out a
State ticket in the coming campaign.
1t is also limited that a county ticket
is more than a possibility in many
counties where union sentiment is
strong"

Ger the light OF day as IL fades away
Forever beyond recall.

VIRGINIA REPUBLICANISM.
Curious Phase of Politics in the Old
Dominion.

(From the Richmond News-Leader.)
Many times this newspaper has
expressed the conviction that a re-
spectacle minority party in Virginia
would be a public .,essing. The
News-Leader staff correspondent,
who is reporting the proceedings of
the Lynchburg convention, says that
the delegates are Virginians, that
they are there for business. The
negroes are not enough to give the
convention even a tinged appear
ance. All of which leads to the con-
clusion that the Republican party
in the State of Virginia is stronger,
in character at least, than it has
been since the war. That being tn.
case, the question may we'll be ask
ed, Why does not the party organ
ize in other districts as it has done
in the Ninth and make serious
fight against the Democrats? The
most interesting answer that We
have heard is that the bosses in the
Ninth are abundantly satisfied with
the situation as it exists. It is esti-
mated that the Federal patronage
enjoyed by the Republicans of Vir-
ginia-inside the State and in Wash
ington-amounts to 100000 a year
This is controlled by the oligarchy
in the Ninth and we are Informed
that many Republicans from that
section hold Federal Offices in Other
parts of the State. Why, then
should the oligarchy wish to create
other Republican districts and there
by be compelled to divide author
ity, honors and spoils? This is {
very pretty political study.
