No one can deny the dignity and tho
sacred rights of labor, few indeed
will be found to assert that labor has
achieved all that it deserves, but let
us, Notwithstanding, continue TO ra-
spect the law and by orderly process
and the ballot attain all just de-
mands.
In securing congressional favor
such as pensions, public buildings
and improvements Mr.. Fordney has
been a hard worker and unusually
successful.
AS we stated in the beginning. this
is not intended to be a partizan edi-
torial. We have not a word to saw
against Mr.. Fitzgerald. From all we
can learn he is very fine gentleman
and would doubtless make a good
congressman. So too, perhaps
would the Democratic nominee from
the district, whoever he may be. But
Mr.. Fordney has made a good con-
gresham; he has attained to a posi-
ton of influence and effectiveness.
A new man would have to begin
where he began. Let us analyze his
principles dispassionately, give him
square deal, and not turn him down
unless there is a reason for it.

This Is not a partizan editorial and
it is not written in the interest, es-
pecially. of any candidate. 1t is put
forth merely as an explanation of our
position with regard to the candi-
dates for Congress in this district.
For some reason, presumably be-
cause we recently printed an adj
vertisement for Hon. J. w. Fordney,
we have been classed as a supporter
of the latter's candidacy by the
st. Johns News, special organ of can
didate j. w. Fitzgerald, and have not
been favored with any of the lauda-
tory articles about the latter which
have been appearing in most Of the
other newspapers of the county for
some weeks. This fact, too, in jus.
tice to ourself, we must state has
not inspired this article and, frankly,
We should have been as glad to get
the business as wA"e any of the other
publishers who needed the money"
and would have given Mr.. Fitzgerald
just as willing service.
The issue having been to some ex-
tent forced, we have thought it not
inadvisable to state our position as to
Mr.. Fordney and Mr.. Fitzgerald; the
latter standing as Taft candidate
and asserting that Mr.. Fordney is
to Mr.. Taft and the policies
If the present administration. Per-
'onally We have no axe to grind.
Both candidates are good men, but
We believe Mr.. Fordney's position is
lot clearly understood and our sense
If the logic and consistency Of the
ituation prompts the following COM
nent:
