Henry, now the principal, arrived q
year after the first comers. Brother

There is every indication nov
that religion will be made an is
sue in the coming presidential
campaign. VIM. II. Taft is q
Unitarian and the belief of thi.
religious organization is repul
sive to those of all the other de
nominations, and the prediction
is made that because of it he will,
lose many votes in the election,
A Unitarian is one who denies
the doctrine of the Trinity. Mr..
Bryan on the other hand is a
member of the Evangelical
church and possess views that
are in accordance with the vari.
Gus Christian denominations, and
is certain to receive the church
vote in preference TO Taft.
Chairman Atwood of the Dem.
ocratic subcommittee on speak
ers, today in discussing the ques-
tion said "Taft's Unitarian
views deprive him of any right
to expect to receive the support
OF the Christian voters, while
Bryan's devotion to the church
ON the other hand furnishes an
appeal to every believer in the
Christian doctrines to support
him.

Chicago, Aug. 24.-Assuranc-
es that organized labor is earn
estly and enthusiastically for
Bryan and Kern were given to-
day by representative delega-
ton of prominent labor men who
visited Chairman Mack at Demo
cratic headquarters. In the party
OF labor leaders were John d.
Lennon, treasurer of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, and
John Fitzpatrick, president, and
Edward Mockels, secretary of
the Chicago branch of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. They
informed Mr.. Mack that organ.
lied labor in Chicago is solidly
for the Democratic National tick.
ct with the exception of the Soc
ialist vote, which is not very
strong numerically. Reports
from other labor centers were
also made and it is the opinion
of labor leaders that the labor
vote as n whole will be cast for
Bryan and Kern this year.
There were four hundred del
egates at this meeting" said
Secretary Mockels. 1--WE had
the fullest and freest discussion
of the political question, and the
only opposition that developed |
was that of four Socialist votes.
Not single expression was ut
tered in favor of Taft and Sher-
man. We are for Bryan this
year, and our fight will not be
half-hearted one. !"

hood of Locomotive Engineers,

Mr.. Bryan in his speech of &C
ceptance, delt the Republican
party some terrific blows, on
some very vulnerable spots. Mr.
Bryan charges Secretary Taft
with attempting to amend the
Republican platform, which is
an admission that the trust and
not the people wrote it. 1t is
we'll known that a motion was
made in the Republican NationaI
convention to provide for the
physical valuation of railroads
as a guide by which the amount
OF stocks and bonds should be
issued by the roads. 1t is well
known that the Republican Nat.
ional convention voted down the
proposition. A great hardship
on the the people of this country
results from the fact that when
a railroad is organized and it's
stock is sold, the money for that
stock goes into the pockets of
the organizers and promoters as
pure graft and then the crowd of
CRITTERS that organizes it, issues
bonds for building the road. SO
that all the proceeds of the stock
IS practically stolen and the
bonds go to the building of the
road. BY this wholesale steal.
ing and grating which has
characterized all the roads of the
country, the people are COMPEL.
ed to pay rates for transporta.
ton, high enough to pay the in.
terest on the bonds issued and
dividends on the stock, which is
practically all water. If the
railroads of this country had
been built on honest principals,
and if they were now built on
honest principals, the public !
could secure transportation at
one-half of what they are now
paying. Mr.. Taft has seen the
evil of this and has recently held |
a joint debate with his own plat |
form. This only shows how !
completely the Republican party |
has surrendered to corporations
and trusts. Mr.. Bryan not only
stands to correct this mighty evil |
but his party is united at his
back. Whereas the Republican
party is bitterly opposed to it as
shown by their vote in the Chi.
cago convention which voted
down the physical valuation
proposition by $50 votes against
112 showing that more than s to
! OF the leaders of the Republi-
can party are opposed to it.
