man in the state running for the legis-
lature. John NJ. Tanner is a candi-
date for the senate from Douglas
county, and he, too, is Democrat.
The Wageworker hopes that both
Norton and Tanner will be elected.
Not because they are Democrats. for
The Wageworker doesn't care a rap
about their politics. Their unionism
is enough. At this distance the cleo
ton of DOC" Tanner seems assured.
So, also, should be the election of
Norton.
Mr.. Norton is the peer in intelli-
gence of any candidate aspiring to a
seat in the legislature. He is level
headed. thoughtful man who has
studied conditions and is acquainted
with the needs of the people. He is
not a lawyer anxious to enact COM
plicated laws for the purpose of MAX
ing litigation expensive. He is me-
chanic who wants some radical
wrongs remedied. He is a devoted
unionist. He is the head of family,
a taxpayer and a toiler He did not
ask for the nomination, and he made
no effort to secure it. If elected his
acceptance of the office will mean a
pecuniary sacrifice for him. But if
the union men want him to act for
them, and express that fact by elect
ing him-as they can do if they will
he will accept and do his best. 1t is
up to the union men to decide. If
they waat to be represented by one
whose cause is their cause, whose
ideas are their ideas, whose hopes
and aspirations are their hopes and
aspirations, they have the opportunity.
If they prefer to be represented by
professional politicians and lawyers
whose only concern for the laboring-
man is their votes, they have plenty
of candidates of that class to choose
from.
The union man who runs this
modest little union paper would
rather be represented in the legisla
ture by one union man like BILLY"
Norton than to be represented by a
dozen partisan Democrats or dozen
partisan Republicans. AS a matter
of fact, the union man who edits this
modest little labor paper can not be
represented anywhere by a partisan of
any kind.
In view of past experiences The
Wageworker sorrowfully confesses that
it sees almighty little hope of Norton's
election. There are enough union
men in Lancaster county to give
him good majority, but there is
vast difference between union men
and union voters. But the union votes
that Norton gets will be the measure
of the devotion Lancaster county
union men have for the real principles
of unionism.

INTERESTING, BUT UNTRUE.

The Lead, S. D., Register, social
list organ, reproduces one of The
wageworker's editorials on Taft and
Taftism, and after giving it's approval
asks: How much better is Bryan
than Judge Taft?" The Register then
proceeds to answer it's own question
by saying:
Go ask Bill Haywood, Charley
Meyer and the widow of George A..
Pettibone. When the three Western
Federation men were in need of a
friend with an eloquent voice and a
. trenchant pen to keep them from be-
ing murdered by as vilainous a crew
as ever cut a throat or scuttled a ship,
their friends implored Mr.. Bryan to
invoke his voice and pen against the
contamination of the dastardly deed
planned by the mine owners of Colo
RADIO and Idaho and their wicked al
lies. the Pinkerton thugs. But their
applications were vain, for Bryan
had previously been silenced by the
campaign funds contributed by the
very mine owners who were trying to
Kill Meyer. Haywood and Pettibone."
All of which would be interesting if
II were not SO silly, and worthy Of
thoughtful consideration were it not
as false as it is silly. 1t is quite true
that Mr. Bryan did not froth at the
mouth and talk about a million men
with rifles" like the Registers can
didate for President did. 1t Is equally
true that MIR. Bryan did not indulge in
frenzied rawlings like some of the fool
friends of the accused. But in quiet
and dignified way Mr.. Bryan. by voice
and pen. did demand that the accused
should be given fair trial, and he
did roundly criticize President Roose.
welt for his cruel and unjust "undesir-
able citizens letter
The editor of The Wageworker is
in position to know something about
these facts. because he happens to be
an associate editor of The Commoner
and reasonably well acquainted with
MIR. Bryan. his editorials and his
speeches. The files of The Com.
moner. which lie upon The Wage.
worker desk as the editor writes. bear
out the statement that Mr.. Bryan edi-
torially insisted upon a fair trial for
. the accused. did denounce the unfair
advantage taken of them. and did re.
sent President Roose, elt's attempt 10
PREJUDICE the case of the accused.
The charge that Mr.. Bryan had
previously been silenced by the cam
paign funds contributed by the very
mine owners who were trying to kill
Meyer. Haywood and Pettibone" is
such a palpable lie that it will receive
no thoughtful consideration, even from
advanced socialists.
The Black Hills Register is enjoying
q silly season.

THE TREAcHeRY OF DAN kEEFE

The treachery of Dan Keefe need
surprised no one, least of all the union
men of the country. Indeed, it would
seem that union men have become SO
accustomed to being sold out by their
trusted leaders that they really like
it.
Keefe entered heartily into the po-
ton of Labor. Only a week or two
ago he signed his name to an execu-
tive committee report re-endorsing the
"Gompers plan" That plan is too
familiar to need explanation here.
Then Keefe was invited to the White
House. A few hours later he saw
a great light" and announced that he
is for Taft. Coincident with his con-
version is the report that he is to be
made commissioner Of labor by ap-
pointment of Theodore Roosevelt.
The desertion of Keefe is only an
other one of the long list. He is only
one of a large number who have sold
labor's birthright for mess of po-
litical potage. He will not be the last.
T. v. Powderly is now holding a
federal job-and Powderly has lost in.
terest in the welfare of the worker.
There are others who might be
named. some living and some dead.
Keefe's treachery is not surprising.
But what about the man who tempted
him with a mess of pOlitical Dotta pe ?

Postmaster Novak desires to
call attention to the practice of
some patrons of rural delivery of
placing loose coins in their boxes
eacn time they desire to dispatch
letters, instead OF supplying them
selves with postage IN advance of
their needs. This practice impos
es undue hardship on rural car
riers in removing loose coins from
boxes and delays them on the
service of their routes. The post
master, therefore, urgently re
quests that patrons of rural deli
very provide themselves and keep
on hand a supply of stamps con-
sistent with and in advance of
their needs. 1t is also very desir
able that rural patrons place in
their mail boxes small detachable
cups of wood or tin in which to
place coins, when necessary, in
purchasing supplies of stamps.
