ISAAC N. STEVENS
FOR U. S. SENATOR
Labor Is Opposed to C. S. Thomas,
Candidate for Senator on the
Democratic Ticket.

The Bulletin must again enter protest
against the candidacy of C. S. Thomas
for the United States senate. Mr..
Thomas is a candidate on the Demo
cratic ticket to fill the unexpired term
of Charles j. Hughes, Jr., deceased. Mr.
Thomas Is a known enemy of Organized
Labor. He was against the Western
Federation of Miners in the Cripple
Creek district in 1894, and he made his
opposition felt. When it comes to oppos-
ing the interests he is one of those
spineless individuals who always looks
for some place to hide. He endeavors
to associate himself with the progress
ives and desires to be known as such.
He is to the progressive movement what
a bunion is to the Individual a sore
place that hurts the whole movement
when it is generally known that he is
merely after the fees.
While governor of the state OF Colo
RADIO, c. S. Thomas signed the anti-boy-
colt law following the 1894 Cripple
Creek strike. and that act has did great
harm to the labor movement and the
cause OF the workingman. II has pre-
vented the placing of anyone on the un-
fair list: It has prevented picketing or
the publishing OF an unfair list. and has
In a measure intimidated the workers.
C. S. THOMAS SHOULD BE De
FEATED.
Running in opposition to Thomas is
Isaac ~ Stevens, the candidate on the
Progressive ticket. Mr.. Stevens is
progressive In everything that the word
implies Many years have known him
as n progressive-even when he was
with the Republican party.
Mr.. Stevens labor record was pub
lished in The Bulletin OF the issue of
October II. He has always been for
labor and has employed union labor
whenever possible
Isaac N. Stevens enters into his own
contract with the people. He says:
One of the drawbacks OF a proper So
luton OF governmental troubles In
America has been the cowardice OF can
didates for public ONCE.
Politics with us has been SO long con-
trolied by appeals to prejudice and by
the corrupting influence OF those who
have long used government for their
own profit that candidates have pre-
ferred to side-step important issues
rather than squarely and honestly face
them.
Thomas A. Edison well remarked. In
his splendid interview declaring for Col
onei Roosevelt and the Progressive
party. that we are two decades behind
Germany and Great Britain in applying
scientific and humane doctrines to the
betterment OF government.
There are many simple fundamentals
OF government that most people agree
upon but which are no part OF our gov
ernmenfai system OF action. such as:
First-The aim OF human life is hu-
man happiness and that government Is
barharous that does not do its duty to
insure this result to all OF Its citizens.
Second-No collection or community
OF people can long be happy or prosper
Gus where the principle of equal oppor-
tuni;y to all is not strictly enforced.
Third-lt has been amply demonstrat-
ed nj home and abroad that this principle
can only be kept vital by the equity and
humanity OF legislative enactment and
the impartial and strict enforcement OF
such enactments.
