unoreanized labor. those who have

than they have ever been before In
a political campaign and all repub-
Iican efforts to check the tide have
up to this time failed And 1t is la
Dor that holds the balance of power
in this country.
Labor has not been getting a
square deal from the republican
party Even when the boom was on
and the tendency of wages was up

to increase the cost of the necessi-
ties of life just little more than
they increased wages, with the re-
suit that the harder men worked

found it harder to make both ends
meet. /.
And now in the days of industrial
depression labor has learned that
republican policies do not fill dinner
pals or furnish work. Labor witness
es the great harvests and yet finds
it difficult to get bread. More than a
million men in the north are out OF
work and multiplied thousands are
working on Short time. No wonder
the republicans are alarmed when
they behold -labors wonder sMpon
preached by the republican apostles.
Get back to New York. the pres
ident is reported to have told Rey-
notds, land tell every one of them
that they had better vote for Taft IL
they want any work at all" But la
Dor is not to be bluffed by any
threat like that. Taft is pledged to
continue the Roosevelt policies and
if the Roosevelt policies can do any
thing for labor under Taft's admin
istration, it ought to be able to do
something now And it is useless to
threaten a panic as a result of Bry-
ans election, because labor has suf
fered from the Roosevelt panic
The republican arguments are flu
tile in the presence of industrial con-
ditions in the United States. Republi-
canism is not affording opportunities
for labor, but it is increasing the
price of labor's bread, and labor is
onto the fraud the republican party
has been practicing on it for so many
years.
Labor knows now that trusts cur
| tail production, thereby diminishing
ate scarcity in order to increase
employment, and this is done to ere
prices. Labor knows that the repub-
lican party and the trusts are insep,
arably bound together, and that it is
compact against labor, and labor
knows that it will not come into its
own until this unholy alliance is
shattered.
This explains the attitude of la
Dor in the present campaign. and it
explains how it happens that this
year labor is going to record its
voice and vote for William j. Bryan.

Z ANp SULTAN.

Just, a little more than two years
ago, on September 4, 1906. in an adj
dress before the ~Iroquois club at Chi
cago. Mr.. Bryan said:
The honesty of a party's purpose is
shown not merely by its platform or the
speeches OF It's candidates and supporters,
but By the character Of the men who are
intrusted with the party management.
Illinois represents a case in point, and l
take this opportunity to state my position
In regard to the national committeeman
from this state, Roger Sullivan. What is
the objection to Sullivan? He Is a high
official in a franchise holding corporation
which is constantly seeking favors at the
hands of the government. He is familiar
with all the methods employed by such
corporations TO gain from local and state
governments special favors and privileges,
l do not regard IL as a compliment TO be
endorsed for the presidency by a conven-
ton which endorsed Mr.. Sullivan. 1 told
them in advance that / did not want such
an endorsement, and / repudiate It. When
the life OF a party and its chances for sue
cess depend upon establishing its eharac-
ter, those who are not with the people are
against them and those who refuse to
speak out must expect their silence to be
construed as acquiescenee in corporate
domination.
Today Mr.. Sullivan Is vigorously in
trusted with his party's management
in Illinois. He represents and speaks for
Mr.. Bryan, Just as "Fingy" Corners and
Pat" McCarren and Boss" Murphy
speak for Bryan In New York, as Has
kell represents him In Oklahoma. as
Tom" Taggart is his confidential ad-
wiser in Indiana and Nose" Wetmore
and Ed" Butler conduct his campaign
in Missouri. Bryan denounced all
these men in his former campaigns.
They have not changed. The change
is In Bryan, who has made associates
Of corporation bosses all through the

THAT ARMY oF NoNKorERS.

The size of the vote that will be
fo~recasters have to make varying al
lowances. as the records since 1895
show fluctuations in the numerical
strength of the electorate that can not
be explained by ordinary methods of
calculation. Conditions since 1895
have been abnormal and they raise
the interesting question whether the
total vote for Taft and Bryan will show
an increase OF a decrease from the
vote of 1904.
The total vote in 1896 for all presi-
Dental candidates was, in round num-
bers, 13, zoo, 900, an increase of
l 800, 900 over the vote of 1892. 1t
broke all previous records both as to
size and increase. Eight years later,
in 1904, the total vote was only 49,
520,521, or about 100000 less than
in 1896 and 44O, 900 less than in 1900.
In 1904. Mr.. Roosevelt polled AIS, $50
votes more than Mr.. Mckinley did in
1900, while Judge Parker I polled
1,2S0.162 votes less than Bryan did
in 1900. Computing the natural in
crease in population there should be
fully 100000 more voters in the
country today than there were in 1896
and no expert election statistician can
tell whether they will all vote.
For twelve years there has been
no change in the total presidential
vote in any election at all commensur-
ate with the natural increase in popu-
lation, and four years ago the change
was actually the other way-a de-
crease from the total Of 1900.

INSULTING THE woRKMEN.

In one of his speeches at New York
the other day Mr.. Bryan declared that
any union man who voted against him
would do so because he had been
bribed or Influenced by a pecuniary
interest. Continuing he said:
There may be among the labor leaders
some who will be Indifferent to these things
because OF arguments" that are not re-
vealed to you. But If any laboring man
wants to betray the laborers let him come
out and dc ; as a friend OF the monopo-
lies, let hin not betray labor with a kiss
and pretend to do Il in the interest of
labor.
1t requires a peculiar brand of
nerve or egotism to assert that it is
treason to labor to vote against Mr..
Bryan and 1t is a g%ratuitous insult to
laboringmen to inform them they will
not vote against Bryan unless they are
bought or bribed. Workingmen may
ask what Mr.. Bryan has done for them
that he should declare a vote against
him a betrayal of the labor u

If William II. Taft is elected president
the greatest office the electorate of the
greatest republic can bestow on one of it's
number will be graced by a man Of dig
nifty and accomplishments and of the best
patriotism; by a statesman Of the highest
attachments, of rare training for the work
in hand, and of international distinction.
If Taft is elected, the great moral awak-
ening experienced in the Roosevelt adj
ministration will be continued, and the
new standards Of business and political
honesty will be upheld.
If Taft is elected, all legitimate interests
will feel entirely safe so far as executive
policies and acts are concerned, but there
will be no cessation of the national move
ment against illegitimate business methods.
II Taft is elected, the intricate affairs
In the Philippines, the tremendously i'm
portant project Of the Panama canal and
the relations with Cuba will be left in ex-
perienced and familiar hands.
II Taft is elected. relations with Japan
and China, which must be kept strong and

trade on the Pacific and the destiny Of the
Philippines, will be intrusted to a man who
enjoys the acquaintance and the conf
dence Of both of these great nations.

The attitude Of Virginia and the Virginia

a matter of concern to us, is not for us to
c~ritlcise, our Virginia friends being en-
tirely capable of deciding for themselves
what their course in politics should be. We
content ourselves with pointing out that
the signs OF republican Roadway in Vir-
ginia are not to be ignored. The state will
support Mr.. Bryan. but unless there be a
change in the present trend of affairs, it
may not be democratic four years hence.

Mo1sE.ELMER THoMAs-FrNK DEAL.

A great many dificult fests Of po-
litical a%crobatics have been attempted
in Nebraska, but nothing more perilous
than the present effort Of the Bryan
Shallenberger combination to ride the
Anti-Saloon league and the Liquor
Dealers association at n and the
same time.
The spectacle presented by the
officers of the Anti-Saloon league and
of the liquor dealers organization
appealing simultaneously to their fol-
lowers to vote for the demo-pop candi-
dates and each vouching for their fidel-
ity to the interests they represent is
unique, If not Unprecedented.
If an eleventh hour combination Of
church and saloon could give the cleo
ton to the double-dealing candidates
somebody certainly would be fooled.
Either the church people, whose
motto is, THE saloon must co." would
be fooled or the liquor dealers, whose
motto is, 1.-THE saloon must go on"
would be fooled.
The great body of our voters, how
ever, who simply want law enforce
ment and a square deal for all inter
ests concerned are not likely to be
fooled by any such political trick.

Low Rates, Increased Traffic.

The maximum 2-cent passenger fare law
in Michigan is also shown to be helpful
rather than hurtful to the railroads. 1t
has been in effect since the first OF the
year. and the state railroad commission
now calls attention to the fact that while
earnings from freight traffic nave fallen
off ~ to II per cent from a year ago, pas
senge revenues on the 2-cent basis have
declined only II per cent. This means, OF
course, that passenger traffic has ma
terially increased as a result of the lower
rates and would have caused an increase
in revenue but for the business depression,
whose effects are so strongly shown in the
freight traffic returns,
