Sullivan on the Stump.

The advent of Roger c. Sullivan,
democratic national committeeman,
into the campaign arena as speaker
Tor Bryan and Stevenson. will add Ger.
tainty to the prophecy of democratic
success in Illinois. 1t will also set at
rest the last remnant of the campaign
lie that Sullivan is lukewarm in his
allegiance to Mr.. Bryan. Roger Sui
Ivan is business man with large in
terests at stake, for which reason his
arguments will carry conviction
throughout the state.
To say that the democratic party
is a danger TO the commercial inter
ests of the nation sounds ridiculous
and far-fetched when thousands of the
leading business men of this country
are voicing the necessity of change
in our administration and advocating
Mr.. Bryan's election.

Lewis Denies 1t,

The republican organs and orators
have been claiming that T. l.. Lewis,
president of the mine workers union,
said that he was for Taft. This was
done to try to stem the tide of wage
workers flowing to Bryan. Mr. Lewis
having had his attention called to the
republican claims. issued circular let
ter few days ago denying them. He
says in this circular:
Il am not responsible for interviews
appearing in the newspapers alleged
to be from me that l favor any partic-
ular candidate. | have declined to eX-
press or to give any statement polit-
ically for or against any candidate or
issue, nor do l intend to do so. This
letter will be my answer to all who
ask me for advice along political lines.
The United Mine Workers did not
elect me international president to in
fluence your political preferences or
direct you how you should cast your
vote on election day. All my time is
required to look after the interests of
the United Mine Workers. Those in
, terested in the subject matter of this
letter will please refrain from writing
me in connection with politics if they
hope to get an answer. We have
among our members prohibitionists,
populists, socialists, democrats and re-
publicans. From what l know of our
members, you are fully competent to
decide for yourselves how you will
vote on election day"
Thus is another republican false
hood nailed The party that descends
to such methods of campaigning ought

Attempts to Intimidate or Unduly In
fiuence Voters.

Reports are abroad of several differ
influence employees of big concerns to
vote for Mr. Taft. One of these comes
from Gainesville. Pa where the LUX
ems Iron & Steel company has adopted
the scheme of placing Taft button
in the pay envelope of each of its
workingmen. A similar means of in
timidation is being used by the Coates
vile Boiler works and also the Worth
! Bros company of the same place. The
! inference is clear that in each of these
! instances the employers are endeavor-
ing to induce their employees to vote
the republican ticket.
| Another plan of intimidation is be-
ing tried by the National Tile COM
pany, said to be a branch of the trust,
at Anderson, Ind. This concern has
| csted pictures of Taft and Sherman
| ir front of the pay window in its Of
| Zee where, when the workingman
comes up to get his weekly wage, ne
! l., confronted with the suggestion that
bis employers are for Taft and the
il timation that they desire him TO
vote the republican ticket. This con-
Germ has also informed it's employees
| that if Bryan is elected, not wheel
I, il their shop will turn. A similar
scheme is practiced by the J. w. Sef-
ton Manufacturing company, also of
Anderson. Each of these concerns
employs between three and four hun
bred men and according to reports the
men strongly resent this attempt to
coerce them and are determined to
vote the democratic ticket.
One need go no farther away than
Moline to verify this last desperate
attempt to inundated the working
men into voting for Taft and Sher-
man. The Dispatch a few evenings
ago said:
Local factory men confirm the story
coming from all over the country that
business would suffer in case Bryan
should surprise himself and the world
| by being elected president. Here is
an incident illustrative of the feeling
in business circles: A few days ago
a lumber salesman offered some hard
wood lumber to one of our Moline
,, factories at very favorable price.
He was informed that the company
would not buy any more lumber until
after election. The salesman then Of
