"A ProInlunctIon Plank. ,,

Chicago, June l9-"That isn't an
anti-injunction plank the republican
convention adopted. Its a proinjuuc-
ton plank. The only difference between
the republican psrty's principles now
and before the convention is that the
people who are to be enjOined shall have
notice."
This is the opinion of Samuel Com
PERI, President of the American Fede-
ration of Labor, on the platform adopted
by the republican convention yesterday.
The executive council of the federation
will adjourn this evening until July
when they will meet In Denver and
there Try to get their anti-injunction

Germ himself.

FRIDAY EVENING. JUNE is. 1908

The nomination of Secretary Taft for
the presidency by the national rePuo-
licsu convention at Chicago yesterday
and BY the exact vots predicted by the
managers was forsgOne conclusion and
caused no surprise to those who from the
beginning have seen that Presldent
Roosevelt would manage and control the
convention and name the candidates.
The PRECEDENT had complete mastery
over the convention, which did bis Did
ding II the letter-the members vleiDg
with each other in their subserSiency to
their masters will. De forced the NOM
iuation of Secretary Taft and dictated
the platform, and would brook no inter
ference. The large majority Of the con-
ysniion delegates we're Oficeholders and
obeyed instructions literally. Mr. TAFT
is good man and an eminent public
servant but 1t is difficult d observe any
where evidences of his popularity. de
has no following throughout the conn
try such as have had many other candI-
dates and he must, in great measure,
RELY on the president for his support in
ths election as be did for the nomination.
The naming of Mr.. sherman, OF New
York, for the second place on the ticket
was. it is also believed, by the order OF
President Roosevelt. Mr.. Sherman was
the leader of the ''insurgents" and the
presidents idea is to cOncilists them and
win their support. That he will use
the whole power of the administration
for the election of Taft and Sherman,
even resorting to Perniclous political
activity, no one who knows the presi-
dent will doubt. Still the ticket Is
weak one and a united democracy can
defeat it at the polls next November.
