THE DOWNFALL OF YOUNG.

Traitorous Teamster Said to be Serving
Time In California.
Lincoln union men will remember
Albert Young, an organizer of the
Transfers Union who visited Lincoln
about three years ago Young was
vice president of the international. and
in that capacity served as general Or
ganiZer. His work in Lincoln was not
productive of results, his manner and
talk not being such as to commend
him to the people of this city. Later
Young and President Shea became es-
tranged. and when Shea was put on
trial for conspiracy as a result of the
big strike in Chicago, Young turned
states evidence and sought in every
way he could to convict Shea and
other union Transfers In this dirty
attempt he signally failed. and after
spending what he got, disappeared.
Later he turned up in southern Cali
fornia under an assumed name and Sc
cured a position on an ice wagon. A
union teamster spotted him and called
him to account Young Immediately as
saulted him with pair of ice tongs

TREASON AND CONTEMPT.
DastardIy Attack Upon the Integrity
of Our Immaculate Courts


The circuit court judge of Bracken
county has shown shameless dis
regard for his OATH"
The judge has done absolutely
nothing to restore order or to protect
the liberties of the people
Now what anarchistic union man
is guilty of that incendiary language?
What greasy mechanic dare thus at
tack the integrity of our courts ?
What loud-mouthed labor agitator is
it that thus dares to inpugn the
character of a man who sits clothed
in ermine upon the judicial bench?
What walking delegate is it that dares
thus to hurl caiumny at our incor-
ruptible and interrupted judges?
OFF with his head, whoever he is,
o. it wasn't union man al all
1t wasn't an anarchist. nor a walking
| delegate. nor a loud-mouthed labor
agitator. nor a greasy mechanic
1t So happens that the man who
made the aforementioned attack upon
a Judge is the present governor OF
Kentucky
| o. that's all right, then, We
thought ii was some irresponsible la
boring man If it had been we were
going to demand that he be sent Il

Sangamon County, Ills, Unionists
Play the Political Game.
The trades unionists of Sangamon
county, Illinois, in which county
Springfield is located. played the po-
litical game for fair last week There
were two trades unionists on the pri-
mary ticket for legislative nominal
lions. Harry Wilson was endorsed by
the republicans and James F. Morris
by the democrats. The trades union
lists endorsed both and then got out
and hustled. As a result Wilson and
Morris were nominated, each leading
his ticket by a handsome margin
That's the way to play the political

county On primary day every republi-

primary day every democratic union
man should vote for Norton for repre-

In this way the nomination of these

and at the same time organized labor
