MAGAzINE' FOR NOVEMBER.
The Twentieth Century Magazine
grows monthly stronger and more in
dispensable to persons interested in
the great political awakening Of the
hour. In the November issue there
are three papers that will strongly
appeal to the insurgent and construc-
tive democratic thought of the hour.
.'The Rebellion Against Privilege in
Colorado, ;" by William Macleod
Raine, is graphic paper dealing in
the crisp, attractive style of our best
modern chroniclers with one Of the
most thrilling and inspiring chapters
in the present-day struggle OF the
people against corrupt privilege and
machine rule. The Conservation Of
Popular Sovereignty, By United
States Senator Jonathan BorOnes Jr.,
is an admirable complimentary con-
tribution in which the popular sena-
tor from Oregon shows how his state

and the corrupt corporation power
are overthrow, the people can con-
tinue to maintain their sovereignty.
The third paper of eciak interest
to those who represent the newly
awakened conscience of the nation is

thoritative article on Railway Rate.

Extortion." Mr.. Hutchins until very
recently was Assistant Chief Of the
Division of Statistics and Accounts of

this issue are delightful paper by

speech will have been completely
overwhelmed, and their pigmy sup

Men of labor, the day of political
judgment is close at hand. The ap-
peal to labor and to the people gen.

they can not, they will not longer be

Since Mr.. Pomerene assumes to

labor question, l assume that he has
been delegated full authority in all
matters pertaining to that question
and Mr.. Harmon's relationship
thereto in this campaign.
Therefore l take this opportunity,
through you as organizer for the Am
erfcan Federation Of Labor, to chal-
lenge the Hon. Atlee Pomerene to a
joint discussion of Judson Harmon's
attitude to labor generally, and es-
pecia1ly to discuss his conduct as
Governor of Ohio in the Columbus

arranged by Mr.. Pomerene and a
committee of working men from Bel

Mr.. Pomerene can have both the
opening and closing in this debate if
he so desires.
All that ask is that I may have
as much as twenty-four hours notice
that may arrange for my speaking
engagements already fixed.
