MONEY CAME FROM
THE IRON WORKERS

Providence, r. l., Dec. f2.-"If
money was furnished to the McNa-
mara brothers for their dynamic
ing campaign, | can conceive OF no
other source from which it might
have come than the union to which
they belong, and of which they are
the practical heads"
John Mitchell, vice president OF
the American Federation of Labor
and former president Of the United
Mine Workers of America, made
the above statement in an inter-
view here today.
"The American Federation Of La
bor," continued Mr.. Mitchell, has
no knowledge Of the financial trans
actions OF the Bridge and Structural
Iron Workers Union, but reports
published in the papers have stated
that the unions books have showed
that sums of $500 to 81 900 month
have been set aside for organiza-
tion purposes.
IF those statements are true, and
it seems that they are, it is possible
that the McNamaras used those
funds for their purposes. Outside
Of their own union | can conceive
Of no other source from which the
money could have been supplied.
"The federation does not exam
inc into the financial transactions
of the various unions of which it is
composed, any more than does the
United States examine into the f.
nanciaI transactions of the various
states which compose the union
The federation, therefore, did not
know and could not know what this
particular union was doing with It's
money"

FARMERS FRIEND
COMMENDS CARTER
Former President OF Texas Far
mers' Union Applauds Stand
Taken by Candidate for
Congress.

A recent issue of the Daily Tex
arkanian publishes the following
article, commencing Judge J. M
Carriers candidacy for congress:
Judge J. NJ. Carter of Texarkana
candidate for congress from the
fourth district of Arkansas to sue
ceed Ben Cravens, has received
many expressions OF appreciation
and encouragement regarding the
plan he advocates for protecting the
cotton producer against the specu-
lative methods of gamblers.
Judge Carter first made known
his plan in a speech at Mulberry
when he advocated the enactment
Of law by congress to prohibit
dealing in cotton futures, and pIedg-
ing that should he be sent to con-
gress he will use his utmost en-
deavors to have such law enacted
Judge Carter is q practical busi-
ness man and cotton grower who
has experienced all the vicissitudes
that attends followers of these vo-
cations, and therefore it is recog-
nized that he is well qualified tC
speak Of remedial measures, anC
because of his experience in farm
mig, business and law, better pre-
pared than the average man tc
bring about improvement of exist
ing conditions as a member of the
national body of law makers.
The farmers, especially, appreci-
ate Judge Carter's stand, and he
has received numerous pledges Of
support from the tillers of the sol
since he announced as candidate
ID. J. Neill, editor-in-chief of the
National Cooperator and Texa:
Farm Journal. published at ForI
Worth, Tex, has written Judge Car
ter in appreciation of his stand, anC
expressed the opinion that every
farmer should support the Texar-
kama iurist in his contest.
Editor Neill's letter is dated al
Fort Worth, Dec. 6, and reads:
Hon. J. NJ. Carter, Texarkana, Ar
kansas
Dear Sir and Friend:-I have
read with satisfaction your speecf
at Mulberry, and am greatly pleas
ed at the stand you take.
ut takes a man of conviction ant
courage to come out as you die
against the cotton exchanges, and
hope that every farmer in your dis
trict will give you their support
for you certainly merit it.
"Yours truly,
ID. J. Neill."
Editor Neiii was for many yearr
president of the Farmers Union O.
Texas, and is thoroughly conversan
with the harm done cotton growers
through the present market prac-
tices. He knows the legislative
needs of the farmer, and is in posi-
tion to appreciate fully the benefits
that would come to the cottoT
grower through the enactment o
such law as advocated by Judg'
Carter.

only on promise that | should new

on President Mckinley, and to him

the incident. | shall never forget
the appearance Of grief upon Me-
Kinley's face. He asked me to not
make public my information at that
time, and knowing the state OF pub

making to avoid war if possible, ]
obeyed his request. Since the re-
port of the naval board | feel at
liberty to make public my state
