BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON. April s.-How much
ice will the labor vote cut next fall2
Secretary Taft isn't the only man
who would like to know. 1t is tho
biggest problem now confronting pro-
fessional politicians. Bryan, Johnson,
Judge Grays friends are figuring on
the proposition and no one is taking
a deeper interest than those Repub-
lican Congressman hailing from doubt
full districts who see a menace to thei.
political futures in the latest activi-
les of the American Federation of
abor Organized labor claims to con-
rol millions of votes. If true it holds
he balance Of political power. Not
My can it swing the presidential cleo
ion, but it can control the complexion
the next house. How far this claim
true is the problem. Every politi-
ian is trying to figure out how far
he rank and file will follow the ad-
ice of President Gompers Of the
American Federation and other labor
eaders who met recently in Washing
on.
Demands Of Labor.
No names were mentioned in the ap-
cal they sent 10 members or laDor
Mons urging workingmen to vote only
or men who can be depended upon
o accede to labor's demands. But
ach candidates record is to be scruti-
lied and If he is hostile, or even in
lfferent, he is to be scratched.
Some inkling to the answer to the
,reat problem may be given in tho
abor forum on April 10 and 90, when
andidates are to have their trying ou
)efore the labor organizations. Mass
meetings are to be held under Presi-
lent Gompers call in every city where
worldngmen are organized. It is ex-
pected that as a result of these meet
ings laboring men will know how to
inc up.
Taft Will be Discussed.
Secretary Taft's candidacy is pretty
sure TO be the big subject of discus
sion.

nicable to organized labor's best in

A deed which has no parallel in
criminal annals was committed in
Denver Sunday morning when
Rev. Father Leo was assassinated
while in the act of performing his
sacred duties in st. Elizabeth's S
church. The assassin is a foreigner
and hatred for priests prompted
him to the commission of the deed.
He halls from Europe and is of
the anarchistic type. Ju S t e
should be speedily meted out, the
murderer made to pay the death
penalty for his atrocious act and
the affair hushed as soon as pos
sible. Too much newspaper pub
licity, and that in a disgustingly
sensational manner, is being given
the murder. The crime sent a
thrill of horror throughout the
land and is universally deplored.

Taft's position on the reduction
of tariff on Philippine sugar strikes
us as about right. We want cheap.
er sugar and this is the only means
of getting it. So long as the high
tariff prevents the importation of
sugar just SO long will we have to
pay the high price the trusts de-
mand. Here in Colorado where n
large percentage Of the sweet stuff
consumed in this country is manu-
factured we have to pay more for
it than people living in the east.
Why then should we be opposed
to any action that would mean a
material benefit to us just to pro.
tect an industry that only aids II
few thousand beet raisers? And
these have a fight from one year to
another to secure from the sugar

About the most plausible sug-
gestion we have yet heard to unite
the two factions in Denver and
bring about harmony among the
Democrats of that city, y,comes from
the state committeeman of this

the state central committee adopt
the plan of selecting judges from
the outside counties, these to be
neutral in the Patterson-Speer
fight, to act at the primaries in
Denver. Watchers can be selected
by both the Speer and Patterson
factions from among their ranks
to pass upon those entitled to vote
at the primaries. Then let the
delegates chosen at these primaries
be accepted by the convention as
the regular Democracy of the city
and county of Denver. The dele

The government has recalled the

pieces for several reasons, one of
which is that they won't stack.
We have found this trouble with
the old issue of tens and twenties
but can't say that it is due so much
to any defect in the manufacture
of the coins. The fault lies in the
number required for stacking and
the difficulty in procuring the
amount.
