Representative Boutell, Of Illinois
asserted in defense of the protective

that as a result some industries must
be protected.

WRITES ON LABOR VOTE--BE.
LlEVES HOWEVER THAT
BULK or IT WAS HIS.
.FLAYS TAMMANY HALL
Intimates That Treachery Was Used
in New York-Describes Labor
inc Mans Condition In
Strong Terms.

Lincoln, Neb, Nov 2O.t~The
labor vote and how was 1t cast?' is
discussed exhaustively by William
Jennings Bryan in the current issue
OF his paper published today The
defeated presidentia lcandidate ex-
presses thanks for the sincere, earn
est ard effective support of Samuel
GCmpers and his associates, and de-
clares his belief tha, the bulk of the
organized labor vote was cast for
the Democratic ticket.
Mr.. Bryan says:
Until the returns are all in and
tabulated. it is impossible to make
any Intelligent estimate as to the
relative influence eXerted by the
various causes which contributed to
he party's defeat. and it is not fair
to announce conclusion until a sub
stantial foundation can be laid for
such {; conclusion. While an adverse
vote in a city containing large
lalor element might be accepted as
prima facia evidence that the labor
ing men did not support the ticket,
closer inspection of the returns
might show that the labor vote was
actually cast for the ticket, but that
losses in other parts Of the city over
came the gain.
Employers dictated Vote.
"Afler forty-eight years of almost
continue Republican rule, the wage
earno are. living SO near to the
hunger line that few weeks loss
of employment brings the family face
TO face with want. The election
comes in November, just at the be-
ginning of the winter, with fuel to
buy, house rent to pay and warmer
clothes to provide for the children.
"Tha laboring man Is under q con
slant duress. A laboring man who
has but little, II anything, laid upI
for the future must have a strong
heart to defy the expressed wish of
his employer and cast his ballot for
something which he believes to be
permanently good, at the risk OF
passing through period of idleness
before that good can be secured.
"Folr months elapse between elec.
tion snd the inauguration-four cold
mcEths. BE not too harsh in judging
the man who bends to the lash, sur
renders his citizenship when his con,
science tells him that he should re.
sist Injustice and vote for better con.
ditions. Be not too harsh in iudg-
ment--eyen in the holiest war there |
are deserters; even when free gov
ernment is at stake many have |
turned back rather than endure the |
dslips and priyations called for
by the struggle.
Hatred Of Labor.
Let us rather be thankful that |
there were as many heroes among |
laboring men as there were-even If /,
there were not enough. 1t is also
true-iet it be admitted with a blush |
that there are those who are so
prediiuced against the laboring man
as TO be alienated from the Demo. |
cratic party by the very fact that our
platform contained labor planks."
