Gonpers' Man for Taft.

Evidence is plentiful that the effect of
Gompers attempt to influence labor for
Bryan is not very productive. of results.
An illustration in point occurred at a
MONDAY meeting in New York Of the
Commercial Travellers Republican AS
sociation. John W. Armstrong, an or
ganizer for the International Brother
hood of Electrical Workers, who was
sent to Maine by President Gompers to
make speeches for the Democratic State
ticket, came out for Taft and Sherman.
In his speech he said
''The men whom l have met and con-
versed with in the American Federation
of Labor are. as rule, of the opinion
that il would be unwise to support Mr..
Bryan. The election of Mr.. Taft means
the resumption of business upon safe
and sound lines. | have an abiding
faith in the intelligence and loyalty of
the wurkingmen to vote for Taft and
the party and principles that made it
possible for our workingman to occupy
the eminent position he does as COM
pared with the position occupied by the
South, where the Democratic party has
opposed the enactment of factory laws,
child labor laws and the organization
of workingmen."
Vice President Philip Davis and Sec
retary S. +. Ingram of the Central La
Dor Union of Terre uaute, Ind, issued
a statement repudiating the announce
ment that Samuel Gompers is to speak
in Terre IIaute under the auspices of
the central body of organized labor.
Vice President Davis said: Members
OF the Central Union are divided on
party lines. and for this reason it is
not just that the union should invite
Mr.. Gompers to make Democratic
speech. Let him come at the instance
of the Democratic central committee.

Hitherto our national policy has been

ish measure than by any other nation
in the worlds history and this policy
OF the federal government has been

consequences have ensued First. un-
precedented consumption Of natural re-
sources; second, exhaustion of these
resources to the extent that large
part Of our available public lands have
passed into great estates or corporate
interests. our forests are so far depict
ed as to multiply the cost of forest
products, and our supplies of coal and
iron ore are so far reduced as to en-
hance prices and third, unequalled op-
portunity for private monopoly, to the
Axtent that both the federal and State
