AGENTS BOOST
FOR ONO
BUSINESS REPRESENTATIVES
OF VARIOUS UNIONS EXPECT
TO DELIVER VOTE OF ORGAN
lied LABOR FOR MAYOR.

The labor vote will be delivered
to J. T. ONO if a dozen or more bus.
mess agents of different unions in
the city have their way. They are
busy boosting the ONO campaign
and represent that they speak for
their several unions. A canvass
through the downtown saloons has
also been started for ONO
Just what influence has been
brought to bear is question but
one business agent of a well-known
building union stated last night
that he was tired of working and
would gladly accept political of.
fee. In order to properly boost
ONO he announced that he would
probably resign his Office as bust
ness agent for the next three weeks
and put in his time on the political
job. ..,,..
The city contractors are for ONO
almost to a man and are doing all
in their power to aid his cause. The
saloon vote is also for him, al
though this fact Is kept as secret as
possible.
When it comes to getting the
rank and file of the. labor vote it
will undoubtedly develop after the
primaries that Senator R. A. Hutch
inson has the majority on the re-
publican ticket. Mr.. Hutchinson is
not making promises of positions
but has merely stood on his record
as a friend to labor. On the demo
cratic ticket the union vote. is ex-
pected to go to N. J. Laumer, a
union man and the president of the
typographical union.
A week ago it looked as though
ONO and Laumer would be the
nominees in the primaries but the
active campaign of Senator Hutch
inson shows that he will not be
playing second fiddle at any stage
of the game and any forecast with
out considering him as more than q
possibility is mere guesswork. Lau-
mer still holds the lead for the dem
ocratic nomination, having the sup
port of the old line democrats pref
ty solidly, as well as big labor
vote.

The wheat growers of the north
west have been the slOwest to
move, but they are now aroused.
So are the cattle raisers of the
western ranches, who are up in
arms against the meat trust.
The climax of this big movement
is coming with the adoption of
plans to form a workable alliance
with the American Federation of
Labor. With the 100000 mem
bers of that body it is proposed
to extend the cooperative scheme
so as to reach the consumers direct
without dividing any of the wealth
produced with middle men. Repre-
sentatives of both the urban and
agricultural workers are now. and
have been for some time. preparing
the details to place this co-operas
tive movement into successful
operation on a national scale.

FRANK H. HITCHCOCK. POSTMASTER GENERAL.

The. postmaster general of the

lawyer like most members of the
Taft cabinet. He has not, however,
like many of the rest, worked ex:
clusively at the job. q
Mr.. Hitchcock Is statistician
and a politician likewise. When dis
covered by George Bruce Cortelyou
Mr.. Hitchcock was stringing fig
ures together and adding up coli
umns In subcommittee of a com,
mittee on statistics in a statistical
division of the statistical depart
ment of the statistical branch of
the department of agriculture. Cor,
telyou pulled Hitchcock out of this
rut and made him head clerk in the
newly chreated department of COM
merce and labor. Mr.. Cortelyou
had just been created head of that
newly-created department.
Mr.. Cortelyou Is a good executive
official. Frank Hitchick has been
spoken of occasionally as first
carbon copy of George Bruce Cor
telyou. Anyhow, Hitchcock Is a
good executive official. The only

THREE MILLION FARMERS
/. AGAINST Wheat CORNER

the necessities of life had their
heads cut of, and while the agra
rian unionists are not advocating
action quite so drastic at this time,
they do intend to demand of con-
gress that the Chicago wheat pit
and the bucket shops all over the
country be abolished.
From the headquarters of the
Farmers Educational and Co-opera-
tive union at Fort Worth, Tex, the
campaign against gambling in farm
products is being conducted. The
union now controls more than 5000
warehouses and elevators and is
adding to the number each day.
These buildings are to be used for
the purpose of storing grain, cot
ton, tobacco and other products.
Warehouse certificates will be CIV
en- to the owners, which will be
negotiable paper. The products will
be sold directly to consumers
through cooperative exchanges,
without the Intervention of specula-
tors or middlemen.
The plan is already in practical
operation in local way in some
sections of the country. The farm
ers of the south very largely con-
troll their cotton and every season
their grip on that commodity be-
comes stronger. The unionists de-
clare that in two or three years
