The Wageworker has been asked
concerning the politics of o. NJ
Rudy. labor candidate for water COM
missioner. Rudy is a union man. He
is a registered republican. but he
scorns to be controlled by any polit!-
cal machine. Other things being equal
he votes the republican ticket. but
when unionism is at stake he does
not know what political partisanship
means. His qualifications for the Of
fee can not be denied. He has lived
in Lincoln for years. and holds a
responsible position with the Lincoln
Telephone and Telegraph Company
His employers speak of him in the
highest terms. and his fellow union
lists declare that he is all wool and
a yard wide. If he is not elected wa

the people of Lincoln don't want
the best timber when it is offered for

20 years.
