Mir. Taft in one of his recent speeches made th.s reference to the negro of the south: He ssId:s
 ~rhe greatest friend the southernne- gro Is likely to have is the broadmind eo Southern white man who sympa- thizes with the colored man and Knows bis value to the South. The time has some. In my judgment, when 1t is the duty of our party to make an earnest enort to win to our support the many Southorners who think with us on ev- cry living national issue and have only been kept from our ranks by the ghost of the past.
 The only trouble Is that so many utterances calculated to put wrong ideas In the minds of the negroes are put forth by Northern papers and speakers. Mir. Taft tells only the truth in the above.

 Your Washington correspondent at- tempts to discredit that part Of my interview in The Age-Herald Of last Friday, in which deny that portion of a story he sent you. to the enect that Judge Hundley had charged cer- tain people in Huntsvile or Alabama with stuf1ing ballot boxes: l agsin deny 1t. and I defy and challenge StoLer to publish the record complete, bear ing upon the facts stated in my n. teTview. and then let the public judge as to whether I am wrong or not.
 note in his story dated Washing ton. February 24, among other queer statements, he says: To-day some or inc points leaked out" Why did he not write all the news his versatile informant gave him; it would have been interesting reading matter for your Subscribers. I know all Judge Hund- ley asks for at the hands of your Wash- ington correspondent Is fair and honest treatment; this he has not secured.

The Florida Times Union asked re- gently of what use two political par ties were If they both proposed to stand on the same platform. A chorus has gone up from the press in answer. to the effect that. as The Portland Eastern Argus Dem.) put it. "It will not be quite the same if the Democ- racy makes genuine tariff reform the paramount issue" The question is will the party do this or go off after strange doctrines.

issue out before today. The press was
run the greater part of yesterday and
the girls who do the mailing worked
large part of the day and some of
them worked late into the night. Had

the issue would very likely have been
out at least a day ahead of time. The
press was run a little today and some

Tomorrow the forms will be taken off

Success in canning fruit depends upon
having the jars thoroughly cleansed and
sterilized; if fruit has once spoiled in a
jar the same thing will happen again, il
the jar is merely washed and not boiled.
To make sure that the jars are in good
condition, put them on the back of the
stove in a pan of cold water in which has
been dissolved a tablespoonful of Gold
Dust washing powder and let come to a
boil. The tops should also be immersed
for few minutes in boiling water and
old rubbers should never be used. After
the carr has been filed, shake, screw the
tops on and invert the cans to make sure
there ere no air holes.

ENDORSEMENT
WAS REFUSED
Tri'City Labor Congress, Contrary to
Claim Of MagiII, Never Passed
Resolutions
AFTER HIS NOMINATION
Only Basis for Fake Circulars is That
Subject Was Brought Up Prior
to the Primaries.

Members of the Tri-City Labor COLI
gress are indignant over the fact that
L. NJ. Magill of Moline, the republican
for states attorney, is mis-
representing the congress in his eff
forts to secure the votes of union men.
The candidate and his friends have
caused TO be circulated a fake letter
of endorsement The letter represents
that Magill has been given the en-
dorsement of the labor congress in his
campaign against r. R. Reynolds, the
democratic candidate.
What Facts Are.
AS matter of fact, Mr.. Magill has
never received the endorsement of the
labor congress for states attornty. He
was given an endorsement for the re-
publican nomination. The congress ex-
pressed a preference for him over j.
K. Scott and G. c. Wenger, the other
two candidates for the nomination, but
never has the congress acted on Mr..
Magilps candidacy since his nomina-
ton. and in reference to the campaign
against Mr.. Reynolds.
Letter Pure Fake.
The letter which is being circulated
is pure fake. The minutes of Aug.
6, at which the purported action of the
congress is represented as taking place,
show just what was said of Mr.. Magill.
Below is given an abstract from the
minutes of the meeting, prepared by
Jack Wright, secretary of the congress.
1t shows conclusively that the con.
gress did not enorse Mr.. Magill for the
Office
Here is the record of the proceed
ings: Resolutions were. presented TO
the congress for the endorsement of
L. M. Magill as republican candidate
for states attorney. After consider.
able discussion, endorsement was
changed to apply to the republican vot
ers of organized labor in this district
Moved that resolutions be adopted as
applying to voters of the republican
party at the coming primaries. Car
red"
And on this foundation Mr.. Magil
claims to have the endorsement of the
labor congress for the office,
Chickens to Roost.
And Magill now has another big
trouble on his hands. Some chickens
have come home to roost. When he
sought the nomination for state sena
tor, it happened that there were five
candidates of the Swedish nationality
III the different contests. Not
Iwithstanding that these men had
o perfect right to seek any
political preferment that they
wished, but toward the end of his
campaign Mr. Magill saw fit to issue
a card ridiculing the five Swedes,'
and making very odious comparisons
between the nationalities represented
in the race. This slur on the people Of
Moline has now been dug up by sons
|, of those same Moline people, and it i.
being hurled back in Magill's face AT
ter considering the fact that all hi!
hopes are based on Moline, Magill's pc
sition is readily seen to be Difficult
one.
