BARRIERS, OPPONENT ELECTED.

Ex-Representative Eubanks of Cleve-
land was swept into the Ohio legisla-
ture on the recent tidal wave. This col
ored gentleman was responsible for
defeating the proposed bill to regulate
barber shops and provide for sanitary
inspection, introduced a few years
ago. Eubanks vowed it was sin
lister move of the BARRIERS unions to
put his race out of commission,
but he forgot to add that the BARRIERS
union is alone responsible for present
conditions, which the non-union col
ored workers also enjoy.-Toledo

THAT LABOR DINNER"

The much advertised and much
talked about labor conference din
ner" at the White House was pulled
off on schedule time. If Presiden
Roosevelt is proud of it, certainly
the rest of us have no particular rea-
son for complaint. But Secretary
Loeb's contention that it was ''pri-
vate affair" does not jibe we'll with
all the talk about it-most of which
issued from the White House. It is
SO clearly apparent that President
Roosevelt engineered the whole affair
for the purpose of administering a
snub to the American Federation of
Labor officials who supported Bryan,
that it is only natural that organized
labor should be- interested. To sup
pose for an instant, that President
Roosevelt thought that the ignoring
of Gompers at an affair of this kind
would not be considered snub is to
indict his judgment. But Theodore
Roosevelt is nothing if not impulsive,
so it is reasonable to suppose that he
acted on the impulse of the moment
when he announced the dinner, and
then felt that he had to make good.
Doubtless he regretted the action af-
forwards.
AS labor conference" the dinner
must have been considerable of a
joke. T. ". Powderly, who wrecked
the once mighty knights of Labor by
his executive inability. and who has
been a federal officeholder for years
on end, was one Of the guests. Samuel
Gompers, who has been president of
the American Federation of Labor for
a quarter of century, was not in
vited. The most conspicuous labor
leaders present were Stone of the En-
gineers, Hannahan of the Firemen and
Morrisey of the Trainmen. These men
are really successful labor leaders, but
they are in no wise identified with the
American Federation of Labor An
other leader present was Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Clark, who is
a member of the Order of Railway
Conductors. This organization is mo-
affiliated with the American Fedora
ton of Labor. The men who have
been most prominently identified will

For the Purpose of Holding a
National Convention.
RELATIVE OF TAFT'S
Is a Member of the Delegation
From California.
Criticises Republican Candidate
for Action in Oklahoma.

Columbus. O., July 13.-Prominent
Prohibitionists today declared that
there will not be any bitter fight over
the endorsement of the anti-saloon
league by the national Prohibition
convention which opens here on We'd
nesday. The sentiment of the men di-
recting affairs in the party is epitom-
lied by the national chairman. Charles
r. Jones of Chicago, who said today:
mo delegate will have the temerity
to introduce a resolution endorsing the
anti-saloon league. The sentiment of
the convention is against it. There
will be no fight on this proposition.
Some of the anti-saloon men Will
bring the question to the attention Of
the convention and 1t may come up in
the state convention which convenes
this afternoon, but the general opinion
seems to be that there will be no seri-
Gus contention over the subject.
The delegates from the northwest
are coming in two special trains from
Chicago. New England delegates will
start from Boston on special train
A special train is also coming from
New York.
The contest for the nomination for
president started today in earnest.
when many of the delegates began
coming in According to higher Off
cials of the party. Sayborn Wright of
Georgia must state his position or he
will have no show for the nomination.
Mr.. Wright has an enthusiastic fol-
lowing, but he has not yet said wheth-
er he would accept the nomination.
Rev. S. H. Taft of California arrived
today as a delegate. He said:
''I am a relative of Judge William
H, Taft. the Republican nominee for
president but 1 would not vote for
him if he were my father. Any man
who would advise the people of Okla
homa to vote against the prohibition
clause in the constitution must reform
very thoroughly before 1 could give
him my support"
Some of the Indiana delegates who
want to go outside the party for the
nomination advance the somewhat
| Governor Hanley for president. He
will be acceptable to the prohibition
lists, although Republican Others
want to nominate Governor Glenn OF
North Carolina and others are talking
| of Congressman Charles E. Littlef1eld,
of Maine, who supported the bill to
prohibit the transportation of liquor
in interstate commerce under certain
conditions.
The national committee has in its
war chest $4,000 and contributions
are coming in very fast especially
from the south. The largest vote poll
ed by the prohibitionists was in 1892.
when their candidate secured a total
of 209.469.
Chairman Jones estimated today
that the vote will pass this high water
mark this year because of the marked
increases in prohibition territory es-
pecial1y in the south. He estimates
| that the number of people embraced
| in prohibition territory has grown
since the last national election from
| 20 million to 40 million. Platform
| makers say today that all issues will
