CHARLEY FEAR
AS A PROPHET
The Western Editor Says There is
a Plan to Side Track John
Michel by the Politicians.

The leaders of the Republican
party are fearful lest ohm Mitchell
should consent ia accept the De.
mocratic nomination Ior the Vice
Presidency ON the ticket to be
headed by William J. Bryan.
Already two unsuccessful attempts
to sldetrack him by giving him an
appointment hhave been made, but
our John remains free from any
entanglementS, and states that he
will refuse all such offers from
those now in power at Washing
ton, writes Editor Charles W.
Fear in the current issue of the
Missouri Trade Unionist.
The republicans are we'll aware
of Mitchell's strength in debatable
states, and realize if he consents to
accept the Democratic nomination
for Vice President, along with
Bryan, their chances for success,
especially with Taft at the head of
the ticket, will be very meager in
deed. The Democrats, too, are
well aware of Mitchell's strength
with the toilers and are hoping
that the former president of the
United Mine Workers can be pre-
vailed upon to accept the second
place On the ticket to be nominated
at Denver.
Bryan and Mitchell would do
more to solidify the labor vote
against Taft than any other one
combination that could be picked.
just imagine the wave of enthusi-
asm for the Bryan and Mitchell
ticket would sweep through the
Republican strongholds of p enn-
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Iowa, and other states where
thousands and thousands of union
miners swear by "Our Jonny
Mitchell!" And in the cities-in
factories, where Mitchell's name is
received, where even little children
have learned to love the name of
'John Mitchell,' and tell stories
of his efforts in their behalf. And
on the railroad-the train crews,
all for John Mitchell.
There is no wonder HUncle Joe'
and strenuous Teddy" strive to
find a berth for John Mitchell, for
they fear his strength.
And well they may, for should
the Democrats succeed in securing
John Mitchell for the second place
on their ticket with Bryan, the
result would be complete victory
for the Democrats Labor organi-
zation would become political
clubs for the time being, an union
men, of all party affiliations would
undoubtedly break away from
their party moorings long enough
! to cast one vote for "Our John. -
! Mitchell's hold on the people is
stronger today than it was when
he successfully guided the move
ments of the United Mine Work.
ers. Firm, powerful, a giant in
tellectually, there need be no fear
that the Vice Presidency would
not furnish ample opportunity fol-
Mitchell to exert d powerful in.
t1uence over national legislation.
And as VicePresident Mitchell
could continue his efforts for hu
manity's uplifung-the life am

that troops are ready to spring to

operators say is threatened.
