THE NOMINATION.

"whom the gods would destroy, they
first make mad" This old axiom
never had better illustration than has
been given at the national convention
held in Chicago this week when Will
liam Howard Taft, the open and avowed
enemy of the working classes was
named for the highest Office in the gift
of the American people.
Taft's record, from his first appearance
in public life has shown him to be with
the oppressor and against the OPP
pressed. No opportunity has been
allowed to pass where he could show
his hostility to union labor, no chance
allowed to go to waste to give an adj
vantage to the the combinations seek
ing to destroy the workers. AS a Judge
of the supreme court he went far out of
his way to rake up excuses for giving
the unions the dirty end of the stick
| and we may expect in the future the
same treatment at his hands. 1t would
| be sheer folly to expect anything else.
During the past three months three
decisions have been handed down by
| the supreme court branding union men
as outlaws, forbidding their exercising
rights guaranteed them by the constitu
tion and giving their enemies the right
i to do just what they are forbidden.
Every one of these decisions are based
upon the decisions of VIM. II. Taft, and
but for him would not have been made.
| Union men are bound hand and foot,
denied the right to even talk to one
another, to withhold their patronage
from an enemy or give it to their
friends and VIM. Il. Taft is the man who
bound them.
Does it not require supreme gall for
this man to come before the American
people he has repeatedly slapped to
sleep and ask them to give him greater
power to do them up?
If there is union man in this broad
land so lost to shame and his duty to
his fellow man as to support this man,
we hope he will get all that is coming
to him-and he surely will.
Just as long as we place the power
the Tafts, the DePews, the Platts and
the horde Of SINNERS now drawing
their big salaries for misrepresenting
us, just so long will we get it in the
neck.
During the present session of con-
gress the common people have had no
word spoken for them-not one-but by
two men, LaFollette of Wisconsin and
the blind man from Oklahoma. Our
peerless Delivers, our venerable
Allisons, and the whole pack of them
have been too busy pulling the wool
over the eyes of the voters to say q
word for the bone and sinew of the
nation.
Whenever we vote for our own inter
ests instead Of those of the men who
are doing us up, then we may hope fol
something that will better our con.
