. two-thirds vote Of congress- to
nullify. The railroad companies
wanted favorable legislation, and
if they failed to yield obedience
to the favors asked by Teddy the
veto power could be used to re-
mind the railroad companies that
president of the United States
could block legislation that was
in the interest of the transporta-
ton industry.
Teddy got several thousands Of
dollars worth of transportation
from the railroad companies, and
that accounts for Teddy being
hailed as a trust buster,'' and
likewise accounts for the bill be-
ing lobbied through congress by
the representatives Of the railroad
companies appropriating $4,000
annually for railroad fare for the
president of the United States.
BY many, Roosevelt has been
hailed as man of the people, but
when the fact is taken into con-
sideration that Roosevelt was the
political boss of the Republican
convention of New York, the
thought should come to the de-
luded dupes who have placed
their trust and confidence in
Roosevelt that he must have been
backed by some powerful influ-
ences when he was able to Sc
lect himself as the temporary
chairman of the convention, name
the committees, draft the platform
and name the ticket for which the
Republican. part Of the Empire
state is expected to vote.
Roosevelt is paving the way to
reach the White House in 1912,
and If his political ambition is
satiated, the proud, sovereign citi-
zenship Of America will hear the
hoof-beats Of "the man on horse
back" as he proclaims himself, the
Gear Of Young Columbia.

cause he just floats through life
like a chip on the ocean, works
his ten hours a day, goes home,
takes glance at the evening pa
per, fills his pipe with non-union
tobacco, smokes awhile, then goes
to bed. Up in the morning, dresses
himself, eats his breakfast by lamp
light, then TO work again. p -.
Life at best is grind, but it
must be awful for the man who
lacks the nerve to fight for bet
ter conditions, who fails to keep
in touch with his fellowman, for
aside from the shorter work day
and more money there are social
features in labor unions; times
when the routine is forgotten and
the members spend an evening of
pleasure, but the non-unionist just
keeps on grinding away. Perhaps
some day he may wake up.

Massachusetts, is a great indus

Eben S. Draper, Republican, has
been governor during the past two
years. He is on record as bitterly
opposed to the working class and
he has shown it by his attitude on
all labor measures. He cannot be
elected without the votes of the

"The court Of appeals of Texas did

16 hours, he was entitled to enjoy

The doctrine Of fellow servant Is
very important. It means that when
any man enters the employ of a great
corporation he becomes responsible
for all the stupidity, carelessness or
recklessness Of all his fellow SER
wants.
He doesn't choose his fellow SER
wants. They are chosen for him, but
he assumes all the personal risk
which comes from working with
them.
There is still another doctrine
injured out of Justice.
And this doctrine Is called the doc
trine of contributory negligence and

POLITICAL FL0ck

Chas. Jesmore. one Of Eveleth'i
first citizens and the man to whom
ell signs point as the next sheriff OF
st. Louis county, spent several days
IN Duluth this week and reports great
encouragement in his campaign. He
has received assurances of supper,
from some OF the lifelong Republic,
ans IN the Zenith city. men whose
names carry weight with the greal
mass Of voters and who have tend,
cred their assistance to Mr.. Jesmore
10 the belief that, politics aside, he
Is the best man for the position. 4
One prominent business man said
to him Wednesday "Jesmore, you
know have always been Repub.
llcan but this time am going to give
you my vote and have secured the
same assurances from several of my
friends? The time has come to turn
the gang out Of the county offices and
we're going to drop politics long
enough to do it,
Judging by the promises made by
the Republican campaign managers
In st. Louis county there must be
about five hundred jobs on the sher-
IFS staff to be given out by the in
coming sheriff. In their frantic des-
peration to gain votes for their can
didate at all costs they have prom
1sed at least this number OF positions
as deputy sheriffs, ETC., as bait to the
voters. -. ,--.s@ ',.-..%
For the benefit of the victims of
this false pretense game it can be said
that there are just fourteen jobs to
be given out under the sheriff, in
Guiding jail and court officers under
his orders. So about 1876 of those
promised will have to go shy should
the day of reckoning by ANY mis-
chance come about: But, Judging by
the expressions of those to whom the
lure has been held out, there is little
chance of any one being deceived by
these specious promises. A campaign
promise Is an empty thing but the
most hollow mockery Of all is Re-
publican campaign promise-as many
dupes Of the past can testify to.
Mr.. Jesmore is making no promises
to win the plum. He is relying on a
past record of unimpeachable public
service, such service as the organ
lied workers of the county would be
glad to see again repeated.
g. Mr.. Jesmore does not need to as
sert his friendship for organized labor
in this campaign. He has proven it
in the past and every union man
should and undoubtedly will repay
him in the same coin Of the realm.
Union men, look up Jesmores rec
ord and he will not have to ask you to
vote for him. You'll be proud to
campaign for him when you realize
what he has done for union labor.

There is one class Of voters in

are being handed out broadcast
by the Eberhart campaign man.

These are the organized work.
ers Of the state who refuse to be
cajoled by any eleventh-hour pro-
fessions Of loyalty of the candi-
date Of the big interests. Their
memories carry them back to the
switchmen' strike Of last spring
when the chance was open to
those who were really-truly,
'cross-your-heart friends Of
unionism to come out and show
by their acts that they were all
wool and yard wide.
The records prove that when
the test came Governor Eberhart
was found wanting. When George
B. Howley, president Of the Min
nesota Federation Of Labor, with
tears in his eyes, pleaded with the
occidental chief executive to give
the striking switchmen q square
deal, to exercise his authority as
governor by ordering the railroads
to move the traffic which was
congesting in the yards of the
Twin Cities and at the head of
the lakes, Governor Eberhart
turned a deaf ear to the plea.
Howley came from the presence
Of the governor branding him as
IN: avowed enemy Of the union
cause and calling down upon him
the political enmity of the organ
ICED workers Of the state.
Since then Eberhart has by no
act known to Minnesota's work
ers evinced in the slightest de-
gree change Of heart. He stands,
by utilization with the railroad
and brewery interests, more Bit
terly opposed to a fair days wage
for = fair days work than ever
before and in this position invites
the opposition Of the Working
masses at the polls.
A word from Governor Eber-
hart last spring in the ear Of the
railroad managers would have
changed the whole aspect of the
switchmen's strike. It would have
gained for the striking railroad
employees modicum Of their tenn
perate demands. The word was
not uttered out Of fear Of. the
wrath Of the corporations in
volved in the strike.
The workers Of Minnesota will
not forget this action at tho polls
next November and can pay tho
governor back in his own coin by
marking their ballot for James
Gray, one Of themselves, a man Of
the common people, who goes in.
