that the South was wrong on the ne

there should be no objection to social
equality. He said that Nebraska had
mo law against miscenation. and that
the marriage Of black people with the
white people there was of frequent

DIRECT LEGISLATION,

With the initiative, referendum and
imperative mandate in force the ma
jor1ty will make and unmake all laws,
regardless of political machines, rings
Or cliques, whether there be three or
a dozen parties in the field, and
whether a majority Of the legislature
and the governor are elected by a
plurality vote consisting of less than
one~fourth the voters, or by a major
ity vote; and also regardless of
whether or not some corporation rules
the legislature.
With the initiative and referendum
in operation when a majority Of the
electors want a certain law enacted
they petition for it's submission to a
vote, and 1t must be submitted; and
if majority of all votes cast are in
its favor, it becomes the law.
He who opposes this method of
making and unmaking the laws
stamps himself as opposed to the peo-
pie ruling themselves, hence, in favor
of machine, rule. No man can offer
an objection to this that will not if
carried to it's legitimate conclusion,
also be an objection to a democratic
form of government, and an argument
in favor Of a kingdom.

LABOR is FOR BRYAN.

There is no question but there shall
be a landslide of Republican labor
votes to Bryan next November.
Why shouldn't the members Of Or
ganized labor vote for him when he
and his party are the only political
source from which labor can hope to
obtain any relief.
Laboring men are not fools, and
they will not soon forget the very
generous treatment their representa-
tives received at the Democratic ma
ton convention; nor the contemplate
treatment their just petitions were ac-
corded at the Republican convention.
1t Is the fear that labor will re-
membS tRese things that is now
worrying the Republican leaders
throughout the country.
1t Is the consciousness that labor
will remember its friends and vote to
defeat it's enemies, that is actuating
the Republican press in it's rabid de-
nunciation of President Gompers, for
doing his duty.
The members Of organized labor re-
member too, that when they were
trying to defeat their arch enemy, C.
Z. Littleheld, candidate for congress
in a Maine district, Mr.. William H.
Taft was one of those swho rushed
to Littlehelds assistance against them.
In the light Of such transactions
It is incomprehensible how Republican
leaders could possibly expect labor
be it Democratic or Republican,, to DO
otherwise than support William Jen-
nings Bryan.

THE UNVARNlSHED TRUTH.

The Republican party by it's silence
on labor issues, and its record in
congress has no claim upon the stuff
rage Of union labor The Democratic
party, whose congressional leaders
have ever been active in support of
labor measures, and whose platform
is clean cut and consistent express
sion of the hopes Of labor has every
reason to receive the solid vote of
those American citizens who believe
in according labor the recognition it
deserves from a government such as
OURS
The charge that Mr. Gompers seeks
to deliver the labor vote is unadulter-
ated rot Mr.. Gompers has not at
tempted to deliver the votes Of union
labor to any political party. He has
been too long in the business to
destroy his usefulness by such a futile
move. Union labor has the. intelli-
gence to use it's own Judgment in
such matters, as it does in directing
its course in the field of industry. It
has been kept fully informed Of the
attitude of Republican congress and
Republican party convention, and
it will govern it's action at the polls
next November accordingly.

that he was available gubernatorial
timber at the last two Republican
state conventions. .., %zs
However, there is a new jacobson
in the Minnesota political arena. The
old jacobson has taken down his flag
and surrendered. No more do we
hear him rail against the interests
which have prof1ted by favor from
the peoples law makers. No more Is
his voice raised against the greed and
evarice Of the predatory class.
Yes, there is new Jacobson in the
field. It is not the valiant and tru-
culent Legislator of a few years ago.
It is the meek and suppliant candi-
date for chief executive of one Of the
greatest states in the union, who has
completely capitulated to his long
time political foes that lust for office
may be satisfied.
Mr.. Jacobson did not surrender to
the interests yesterday, nor at the
state Republican convention which
nominated him. The deal was con-
summated two years ago, and shortly
after the defeat Of Mr.. Jacobson at
the Dulu h convention.
The story of the transaction can
not here be told. save that immediate
ly after that memorable convention In
the Zenith City Mr.. Jacobson accept
ed freq passes from the railroads Of
the state, and during that campaig
used them in his travels Throughout
the state.
That was the crucial hour in Jacob
sons political career, and like many
der the encouragement Of that which
would have been but temporary de-
feat had he remained true to his con-
victions.
From that day to this Mr. Jacob
son has not uttered a syllable against
tire mighty influences which have pol
luted the government Of this state.
His. acceptance Of favors. from these
influences we'll warrants the claim
that jacobson has surrendered.
There is no desire to make an un-
just charge against Mr.. Jacobson.
People in a position to know claim
that they can produce the numbers
of the passes. If this is calumny let
Mr.. jacobson deny the charge. It is
up to the Republican nominee to prove
that he is not the candidate of the
''interests.''
