VOTE FOR WARNER
The Party Has Declared for Him ana
the Majority should RnIe.

Are you little miffed because either
Bradley or Earle failed to pluck the CUB
ernatorial plum in the recent primary
election9 Have you told some Of your
friends that you are going to bolt Warner
This time? II so, forget it. Just stop and
reflect for a moment What difference
will third term make from political
stand point? Has it not always been a
strong tenet of the republican party that
the majority should rule and that the
greatest good to the greatest number has
been and should be the rule OF the grand
old party. Warner received nearly 1900
more votes in the primary contest than
his nearest competitor. Why? Simply
because there that many more republican
voters in Michigan who preferred to vote
for Warner and the principles which he
represents rather than for Bradley and
the interests he represented or Earle and
what he failed to represent.
In the last primary election Governor
Warner carried 20 counties out Of IS. II
you want to stand on the winning side
vote for the man who did that against the
combined odds Of two other would be
governors. Hemans is nice man. So is
Warner But there is subtle something
back Of the candidacy Of Fred M. Warner
that at once appeals to you and likewise
demands your vote, and that is the work
he is striving to bring about to make
wealth and corporations assume their pro
rata of taxation the same as the man with
the shovel and the man with the plow
Farmers, as a rule, stand by Warner for
bringing binding Irvine within their reach.
Travelling men stand by Warner for bring
ing two cent fares to their door and the
ordinary man just simply stands by and
says, well, I'm for Warner just on gen.
eral principles" The Allegan paper,
which short time ago was hammering
away at the governor with big stick,
has packed up its tent and marched over
into the Warner camp and many others
are doing the same. Just join the process

ORGANIZED LABOR
SUPPORTS TAFT.
Majority Of the Real Leaders and
Workers Will Vote for Their
Real Friends.
No Longer Any Doubt But That Tart
Will Get the Majority Of Labor
Votes Despite the INSCRIPTIONS
Fight Made by Gompers in Behalf
OF the Democratic Bosses.

LeaC RS OF organized labor are OPP
posed TO Samuel Gompers in his Efforts
TO deliver the labor vote TO Bryan, ana
there is every indication that Taft VIII
get the votes of most laborlng men. At
lenst three OF the most influential vice
presidents OF the American Federation
Of labor evidently disagree with Com
pcrs.
one of the men who called on Presi-
dent Roosevelt recently gave assurance
that John Mitchell is not for Bryan, as
intimated in n telegram alleged TO De
from him published in the last two
days. He declared on authority, said
TO be that OF Mr.. Mitchell himself that
the noted labor leader did not write
any telegram putting himself In the
Bryan column The telegram Is said
to be fabrication.
James Duncan. first vicepresident OF
the American Federation OF Labor. next
in authority to Gompers and man OF
great influence In the organization, has
written a letter to Willis Moore, chief
of the weather bureau. pointedly an
tagonizing the attitude of Mr.. Gompers
and asserting that each individual
should be allowed to vote without pres
sure from any one.
Daniel Keefe, sixth vice-president OF
the federation and president of the
Longshoremen's union, is out for Taft
and working hard for him. Keefe adj
vises labor people TO vote for Taft. Thus
three OF the six vice-presidents under
Mr.. Gompers are either supporting
Taft or are opposing any plan that Will
place the organization as body against
the Republican nominee. Mr.. Keefe
said recently:
Bryan has not been Endorsed for
president by the executive council Of
the American Federation of Labor
Neither has any one the right TO criti-
else a union man for voting for any
other candidate for president. In fact

rying about my room, and they attract

II am very fond of reaches he
said. Once. in my own home, l found a
roach struggling in a bowl of water. l
took a half walnut shell and put him
in 1t; it made a good boat; l gave him
a couple Of toothpicks for oars. Next
morning saw that he had fastened
a hair to n Of the toothpicks. and
had evidently been fishing. Then,
overcome with exhaustion, he had
fallen asleep. The sight moved me. l
took him out, washed him. gave him
a spoonful of boiled egg. and let him
go. That roach forgot my kind
ness. and now my home Is full Of
