CONSUMER VS.. PRODUCER

One of the fundamental prin-
ciples of the labor organiza-
tons of to-day is all opposition
to the non-producers of the day
occupying the offices and place
of trust aud profit. They, the
working people of this great
State, have it now in their
power to put into execution
this plea for justice.
Among the five gentlemen
who are seeking the nomination
for Governor on the democratic
ticket at the August primaries
are four lawyers, excellent gen,
tlemen, and men of the very
highest type, but who ever
heard of a lawyer being clasSed
us a producer of anything but
wealth for himself. On the
other hand we have Mr.. James
A. Houchin, one of the five,
who is strictly, and in every
sense of the word a produce.
Mr.. Houchin, besides being a
successful manufactures, EN-
ploying hundreds of men, is also
a farmer and a stock raiser,
owning two of the finest stock
farms in the country, and IS
breeding and producing the fin
est horses in the world, "Old
Kentuck" not excepted.
Now, to be fair, how can an"
working man argue for the ~
lift of the producing classes q
this state, and vote for any Ol'
except Mr.. Houchin, who mea.
ures up to their standard IN
every particular as producer
and an employer of labor. He
employs more men at good
wages than all the other candl-
dates combined. In this article,
it is not the intent to speak dis
paragingly of any ofthe excellent
gentlemen who are aspiraniS
for the honorable position OF
Governor of this great state,
but simply to call the attention
of the working class and far
mers to the fact that they have
an opportunity to cast their
votes for a producer, and one
in every sense in perfect har-
mony with the arguments Of ali
labor and farmers organize
tions on this particular point
The only way to be fair with
yourselves and practice what
you preach, is for working men
and farmers to vote for James
A. Houchin for the democratic
nomination for Governor at the
August primaries.
