The labor argus. [volume] (Charleston, W. Va.) 1906-1915, 1910-09-29
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO VOTE.


We will take the republican ticket,
as II stands in this county and the
whole State. We will start at the
top and come down. First we have
Scott and Elkins who without a sin
gle exception have used the power OF
their position against every labor
measure that was brought before the
United States Senate, men who have
made millions through special prfvl-
lescs. These two men want our vote,
they could not rob you without it..
For wan. of space we will pass over
the next in rank who stand for the
same thing.
Now we Will come to our own coun-
ty, and will not devote much time
to such men, as they ask you to
vote for, for their records, their acts
in Office would stain the pages OF The
yellowcst journals that was ever set
to life. These men ask for your vote
because they could no, stain the fair
name of our state without it.
In this issue will be found a chal-
lenge from our Congressional nominee
to Gaines daring him to stand before
the working people and tell them why
they ought to vote for him. 1t is
needless to say that Mr.. Gaines side
steps and it is well for him that he
did for just how he would explain his
vote on the Hughes amendment and
many other labor bills would be
amusing Oh, but he says my fight
is with the Hon. Adam B. Littlepage,"
ye gods, two hearts with a single
throb, two souls with a single thought,
two corporation tools headed for the
same port.
Now lets have a look at the demo
Gratis. I hate to say anything about
these people, for they are such a nice
lot of fellows. and 1 think they have
some hope Of palming off some OF
their jack-potters On the people OF
West Virginia. Now if they palm on
enough Of these nice good pleasant
gentlemen we will have some real
reforms. Well the first thing they
would do would be to send Mr.. Chill
ton to the U. S. Senate; 1 think that
is the frame up.
Now Mr.. Chiffon is attorney for
every corporation in this section OF
the State. OF course that makes no
difference. the trusts need him as
chief mover in their court houses.
Watson, the Fairmont labor hater
who is to step into the shoes OF big
chief McGraw. needs him, oh. this feI.
low is a real trust buster. Oh, Well,
let's vote for MacCorkle, another
corporation lawyer. We all know that
he can serve the people and the trusts
at the same time. Oh, here we come
to Brawicy, bless his old wet heart.
Dave tell us just how you could cast
two wet votes out of three if the
people would make the mistake OF
electing you. Surely you would ad
nit that there is a chance for casting
reflections and there might be another
impeachment farce.
Now brothers. comrades and friends
if it We're not for the seriousness OF
this thing it would be a joke, Il two
ring circus under one tent.
Now these people hold within the
palm of their hand the power to make
laws under which You have to live
They represent the capitalist class.
them or their masters. If you do not
see it now you will see it some day
when you better understand. On
November Sth when you march up to
the polls TO cast your ballot put your
Y in circle beneath the clasped hands
The men below stand for you and
yours, for your loved ones. for tho
coming nation, for the brotherhood
of man.
