ve1t's criticism of the supreme
court delivered at Osawattom mie,
Kan, was endorsed by Gov. Had
ley in an address before the
American Federation of Labor, in
session here, today. Hadley took
Rooseyelt's criticism as his prin-
cipal theme, and applied it as fit
ting the distinction usually shown
to the special interests as against
those of the working class. Had
ley said he did not understand
why the supreme court should be
above criticism.
"It is a mistaken idea" he
said. that makes it appear to
be high treason to talk against a
decision handed down by the su-
supreme court.
Every one knows that the
judges We have had have shown
more consideration for the rights
of private interests than they
have to those of the individual.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 15.-The big
gest fight in the internal history
of the American Federation of
Labor is expected when the name
of President Samuel Gompers
comes before the convention, now
in session here, for reelection.
Gompers has strenuously fought
the plans of socialistic members
of the federation for declaration
by the organization for socialism,
and it is known that S5 socialist
votes out of total of 36S in the
convention will be cast solidly
against the little cigarmaker.
While admitting that the So
cialist faction in the federation is
stronger than ever before, Comp
ers declares that he is not worry
ing overt he final outcome.
In addition to the socialists
who claim they have nothing
against Gompers personally, there
is faction that feels that no
one should have a life job" as
president of the federation.

OIL D SYSTEM TO
Be REVIVED

The Rotary club made one
long, loud and lusty howl at the
street car office yesterday because
cars are run through from Point
Defiance to South Tacoma.
Now it will be changed and the
Point cars will stop at Jefferson
and switch back as they used to
do. And South Tacoma will come
up Pacific avenue as of yore.
The change was made two
years ago because the people
kicked and wanted through cars.
Now some more kicks put the old
plan back. Manager Bean says
the people can have it any old
way they want it.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 15.-

the East and Middle West, lead

he had little expectation that the
decline would reach the Pacific

'Thomas Lee Woolwine, candidate
support of a large majority of the
Lincoln Roosevelt league, get the
Democratic nomination without op-
position, and the unanimous indorse-

Such was the enthusiastic prophecy
made at Democratic headquarters yes
terday afternoo, where the subject OF
Mr.. Woolwine's candidacy was exten-
sively discussed by a number of the
leading members of the central COM
mittee.
"Mr. Woolwine already has 1000 sig
natures to his petition" said T. H
Kirk of Pasadena, "and everywhere
his verificatiop clerks go they report
having received the most enthusiastic
encouragement.

trict attorney. He will have absolute

information from a reliable source thai
the league in all probality will put
up no candidate against Mr.. Woowine
and quietly 1 believe, the league will
instruct it's members to write his name
on their tickets.
Another unusual condition which
makes Mr.. Woolwines candidacy ex-
tremely propitious. believe, lies in the
fact that the machine Republicans are
seriously divided in their sentiment
relative to Mr.. Woolwine, and great
many old-line Republicans, who would
not think of supporting a reform fac
tion, will vote for Mr.. Woolwine at the
general election because of their warm
admiration for the heroic stand he took
during the recent memorable anti-Vice
campaign.
"The Good Government forces un-
doubtedly will indorse Mr. Woolwine's
candidacy, and the effect, l predict,
will be the largest vote polled by any
county candidate"
