A BIT PERSONAL.

The Wageworker begs pardon for
obtruding little personal matter right
here, but it can not forbear expressing
it's pleasure at having accumulated
few enemies. It is really very proud
of the enemies it has made although
not quite so proud of them as of the
staunch friends it has made. But the
mere fact that it has made enemies
is sign of progress, a sign that it
is really amounting to something. 1t
rejoices in the enmity of those narrow
souled members Of unions who, having
good jobs, don It care whether the other
fellow has anything or not. 1t rejoices
in the enmity of those frantic shouters
for "personal liberty who would deny
every man but themselves the right to
express an honest opinion if that opin-
ion did not square with their own. 1t
rejoices in the enmity of those to whom
truth is unknown and who have no
regard for fairness or squareness. 1t
is being boycotted by men who prate
loudly of free speech and free press,
and who, while profting from those
very things would suppress free press
because they can not control it's utter
ances or the opinions Of the editors
thereof,
As rs list Of loving enemies increases
The Wageworker IS list Of loyal friends
increases-and we rejoice in the free
advertising those loving enemies are
giving, for, coming from that source,
every knock is boost.
AS in the beginning, SO in closing.
The Wageworker Graves pardon for OBJ
truding this personal note.

things; jealousy of individuals who
dare have opinions of their own. Diff
ferences of opinion on matters wholly
apart from trades unionism are made
the basis of bitter attacks, backcapping
and snarling criticism. And men who
boast of being "square men, are the
men who are quickest to try and injure
brother unionists who happen to differ
from them on some personal matters.
It's sad, but it's too true.

SPEAKING OF CANDIDATES.

The candidate for the legislature,
be he republican, democrat, socialist or
prohibitionist, who will not agree to
vote for the senatorial candidate re-
ceiving the highest number of votes
at the November election, is not fit
to be trusted. The man who will not
trust the people should not be trusted
by the people. J. R. C. Miller is one
of these. He knows better than the
people what the people want and should
have. Miller is republican. P. F.
thinner, Allen McWilliams, Jerome
Shamp and w. J. Blystone, all repub-
lican candidates for legislative nomina-
ton, have refused to abide by the
choice of the people on the matter
of the senatorship. H. J. Lenhoff and
c. E. Groves, democrats, have refused
to give assurance that they will vote
for the people 8 choice for senator
Not one of these men is entitled to
the support or the vote of any trades
unionist who believe in the initiative
and referendum, or who believes in
the popular election of United States
senators.
The "Oregon plan" Of electing SEN
ators is fair and right. The legislative
aspirant who is not willing to sign
Statement No. is not entitled to the
votes of men who believe in self-gov
eminent. Mark the above named can
didates and slaughter them at the pri-
maries. If they escape slaughter then,
try to get their political scalps on cleo
ton day.
