The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1910-10-29

Inc IOllOW1nS communication has
been received by the Labor World
from a subscriber who in the letter
voices his reasons why his vote and
that of every working man should
go to James Gray as next governor Of
ALL Minnesota. His reasons are
logical and conclusive. To them the
Labor World would add but one other
reason. why Gray and not Eberhart
should get the votes of the working
men. This Is that Eberhart has
proved himself by affiliation,. by SEN
timent and by overt action the enemy
of organized labor, while Gray has at
all times while working at his trade
as a newspaper man proven himself
in sympathy with the working masses
the men who produce.
Here is the communication as re-
ceived:
To the Labor World:
l want to say that I am going to
vote for James Gray for governor of
Minnesota: =
First: Because he is known to be
a man of sterling integrity, of I'M
questioned ability and is in every re-
spect qualified to honestly and ably
discharge every duty pertaining to his
high office.
Second: Because his clear compre-
hensive grasp of public questions will
enable him to acQuit himself with
honor as chief executive of this great
state.
Third: Because that in all his ut
terances, both public and private, he
SHOWS conclusively that he has a pro-
found conception of the duties and
responsibilities of the position. While
he holds that capital honestly en-
ployed should be permitted to feel
that sense of security which is es-
sentlal to stimulate it's legitimate in
vestment, he yet insists that the well
tare and prosperity of the common
people, who are the bone and sinew
OF our state and nation, must be safe
guarded by those in power, against
corrupt predatory interests, trusts,
monopol1sts and seekers for special
privileges. -. :. E.=,.
Fourth: Because he is a progressive
man, keenly, alive to the living issues
OF the day., and firmly believes that
the ruthless greed and reckless
covetousness of a privileged few
should not be permitted to usurp the
prerogat1ves Of the many and de-:
pr1ve that many who constitute our
common people of their rightful in
heritance through such political ma
carnations, as standpatism, Cannon
ism, Aldrichism {, or other similarly
pernfciousisms in state politics. Such
vicious policies should be administered
q severe rebuke by every voter in
Minnesota, and when Eberhart, the
present acting governor and cand1-
date for reelection, forgets his al
legiance to the common people al d
suffers himself to be dictated to, and
ruled by representatives of trusts. and
other unholy combinations inin1ical
to the peoples rights, it is a duty
which every man in Minnesota owes
to himself and his state not to vote
for Eberhart for governor at the com
ing election. as 8

OF men to dominate B his actions sor

WHO WILL PULL STRING
> TO MAKE PUPPET DANCE?

Under the caption of ''Does
Minnesota Want a Rubber Stamp
Governor9'' the Duluth Even
ing Herald last Tuesday carried
the following editorial query:
Said Candidate 'Eberhart in st. Paul
Sunday: II will not use the influ-
ence of my office to dictate or in
f1uence legislation
It Is the duty of the governor to
lay before the legislature matter de-
handing their attention, and to urge
the passage of laws needed by the
people.
Eberhart's idea seems to be that
the governor is mere rubber stamp
convenience to be used perfunctorily
to affix signatures to the acts of the
legislature.
Does Minnesota want rubber
stamp" governor? And If it gets
that kind, will it not wish to know
who owns the rubber stamp?

FACTORS IN THE COMMERCIAL GROWTH OF MT.
STERLING AND ENJOY MANY YEARS OF HON
ORABLE BUSINESS SUCCESS.

Mt. Sterling, because of her location
at the gateway that opens to the rich
and prosperous Central and Eastern
Kentucky sections, with their varied
interests and diversified industries,
may justly be termed the metropolis
of these two important sections, to
which, in this era of Kentucky's rapid
progress, all eyes are turned. Mt.
Sterling, in a commercial way, has
forged ahead of all towns east of Lex
ington, and is rapidly gaining in her
commercial strength and social pres
tige.
These splendid conditions are due
partially to her aggressive merchants,
her business factors and the large and
elegant stocks of varied merchandise;
added to this, her natural advantages
of being in the center of the richest
and most prosperous section in the
State, make complete the best and
most favorable business town of it's
population in Kentucky. The stores
of this city are constructed and con-
Quoted CT metropolitan lines. Large
and comprehensive stocks are car
ried, the equal Of any in cities ten
times our population; hence in guard

ness men of our town have achieved a

Fronting the dawn of a greater des-
tiny for Mt. Sterling, and desiring to
exploit the various interests of our
city and section. The Advocate in this
Progressive Edition is pleased to call
attention to the several factors who
have contributed largely to our COM
mercial advancement in the past,
Among these factors none is better
known, nor more highly regarded,
than is Duerson's Drug Store, located
at No 10 Court street, facing the state
ly temple that overlooks our active
and thriving business district. Duer-
sons Drug Store was established years
ago and has enjoyed a steady trade
gaining a reputation and prestige as
it forged ahead in the march of prog
ress, until it has almost reached the
zenith of its glory. 1t is regarded
highly by the trade and holds firmly
in its grasp a large and ever increas-
ing clientele. This store, in fact, is
recognized as the leading drug store
in our community, and bears a record
for honorable dealing and absolute re-
liability.
A complete line of painting supplies
affords the public excellent advan-
tages in supplying their wants in that
line and at the lowest prices consist
ent with good merchandising. Every
thing that is reliable and useful can
be found in this department, so that
there is no need to go elsewhere for
that class OF goods. Then, a large
stock of pure, fresh drugs, toilet arti-
cles and druggists sundres find place
in this well arranged Drug Emporium.
Fishing tackle, also is speciality with
the Duerson Drug Store, and the an
gler can be served with a classy as

lowest prices.
1t is in truth a drug store for the
masses, well conducted and equipped,
meeting the demands or the most eX-
acting customer, and giving useful
service to the great mass of people,
who appreciate its honest service and
fair treatment.

Located so favorably and conven
iently, Mr.. Laughlin has built up a
most profitable business and con
tinues to move ahead, in the front
rank of the business procession. Mr.
Laughlin was formerly a citizen OF
Georgetown, Scott county, where he
was highly esteemed, but was favora-
bly, impressed with the many advan-
tages Mt Sterling offered and cast his
lot with us. He has proven a valuable
citizen and has the best wishes of a
multitude of friends.
