Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1910-11-07

The following reply of the Aberdeen
World to the inquiry of a working
man is the clearest statement of the
real issue TO be decided by the voters
Of Chehalis county that has yet been
published, and the Herald cOmmendS
it to the careful attention of its read
ers:
The attitude of The World on the,
subject that bOthers our correspond
ent is well known. and possibly the
query was meant for some paper that
has taken no part in this discussion,
il any such. whose advice is worth
anything, can lie found. This query
is one, moreover, that our correspond
ent must in tie end answer for him
self. He must weigh the arguments
presented on both sides. analyze them
try to unders t2nd motives behind
them. guage the character OF this
struggle. and look at it above all from
the broad standpoint OF the cOunty's
best interests. Then he will cast his
vote inteilgentiy.
So far as the labor phase of the
questions presented by our cores
| pOndent is concerned, we fail to see
where labor or the principles OF
unionism are involved at all in this
contest. No claim that they are has
| so far been made. The county COM
missioners, whoever they may be,
must comply with state laws govern
| ing the employment of labor and
working hours and working conditions.
Unionism is not involved in any de-
gree or manner.
The expressions of The Grays Har-
Dor Post, to which reference is made,
can not be considered as the express
sions of labor, and doubtless were
not so intended. If they We're, then
The Post is deceiving its readers and
supporters We acquit The Post of
any such deceit It's comment is mere
ly the voice OF The Post, must be
fconsidered as such and must be given
weight only as other press comment
is given weight
There is only one issue in this fight
whether or not Fred Rosmond, can
didate for commissioner. is his owrl
man or too for Boss Abel.
The voter knows the relationship
existing between the two men. He
must decide for himself whether or
not that relati-nship is atrong onouYh
to cause Bosn'.d to f1rect a any time
