district comprising the 3rd, 4th and

a busy bunch Of workers looking out
Tor his interests. Joseph Gauthier who
Is running in the country district and
the eighth ward of the city for coun-
ty commissioners, is permitting no
grass to grow under his feet. Indeed,
1t looks favorable for the election of
both Of these men. !.-
The Democratic candidates for the
legislature are an unusually active
bunch. E. r. Ribenach is having an
easy time of it. His excellent record
of the last session is bringing to him
hundreds Of voters from the other
parties. His election is practically as
sured, but this declaration should not
prevent his friends from energetically
working for him until the polls are
closed. -.
William J. North, the candidate in
the 51st district, is putting up pretty
fight. Mr.. North ought to be elected.
In a public statement he declares that
he stands for: the Initiative, Referen-
dunn and Recall, Workingmen's Com
pensation act, and for other progress
sive legislation. He assures the voters
that he will be a free agent to serve
only the interests Of the people.
Luke Burns and S. Lekve are the
candidates in the 4t9h district. Each
of them is conducting a personal cam
paign and each. ihs meeting with
many assurances of support. They
are both good men who stand right on
most public questions.

trade unions from the provision of
the Sherman Antitrust law, the In

Wet Labor bill. In a letter to the Of

ton of Labor, Mr.. Jenswold assures
them that if elected to Congress that
ne will gladly support these meas
ures because he believes in them. In
the above measures the rights and
liberties of the working classes are
essentially involved.

JENSNOLD MAKING
MANY new FRIENDS
Democratic Candidate For Con.
gress in Active Campaign
Miller's Labor Record. I

John Jenswold. the Democratic no.
mlnee Tor Congress, is giving Mr.. Mil
ler run for his life. At every point
ne visits he is greeted by large and
enthusiastic audiences. BY the force
OF his logic he is winning many vot-
ers' who heretofore have never voted
Tor a Democrat for Congress.
Mr JensWold is not a progressive
Tor office, for with him it is a mat
ter of principle. He understands the
Philosophy of the present day pro-
gresslve movement. He has fought
shoulder to shoulder with the adyo-
Gates of social reform for almost a
quarter of a. century and during all
or that time he has never been known
to falter.
The next congress will probably be
the most important ever convened at
washington since the Civil War. The
great social questions of the day will
De considered, and legislation for
their solution must be acted upon. It
is necessary that sufficient number
or true progressive. congressman are
elected; men who understand the
philosophy of the progressive move
ment, who will have prestige enough
and a sufficient number of votes ia
secure the passage of bills that will
bring about social justice for the
working classes of America.
The workingmen of this district
should see to it that a man who can
be counted upon in every crisis is
elected. Such a. man is John Jens-
void Jr. ....
Miller's Labor Record.
1t is true that Mr.. Miller voted in
favor Of several labor bills in the last
congress, and it is also true that he
lodged the question on several very
important labor bills.
What is his record? On June 23.
1910, the House had under considera-
ton the proposition of retaining the
Hughes amendment to the Sundry
civil Appropriation bill, making ap-
preparation for the prosecution of vio-
lat1ons of the Antitrust law which
provided that no part of the money
therein authorized should be spent in
the prosecution Of any organization or
Individual for entering into any COM
b1nation or agreement having in view
the increasing of wages, shortening
OF hours or lettering the conditions of
labor or for any act done in further
ance Thereof not in itself unlawful.
Dodged This Vote
This proviso was favored by labor
and particularly by the American
Federation of Labor. 1t was stricken
from the bill when it was reported to
the senate, by the appropriation COM
m1ttee. A motion was made that the
House recede and concur in the action
of the senate. The motion carried by
vote of 1870 yeas" to 1913 mays, Is
answering present" and 105 mot

vote and who lodged the question was
Congressman G. B. Miller of this dis
trict.
This last vote was a determining
factor in which the House Of Repre-
sentatives placed itself on record as
being opposed to any organization or

LOCAL POLITICAL GOSSIP

There are but ten days Of the cam
patgn left. The people are not warm
ing up very fast and unless more en-
thusiasm is shown between now and
election day it will be difficult to pre-
dict just what the general outcome
will be.
There is little stir in local politics.
The candidates are making a gum
shoe campaign and many Of the DEM
ocratic candidates assert that the out
come looks promising to them.
j. w. Murphy of Virginia is con-
stantly on the job. Wherever he goes
he is making friends. He is a very
likeable fellow and is decidedly popu-
lar at home. Mr.. Murphy is an old
member Of the Steam Shovel Mems
union.
Walter Johnson, the Democratic
candidate for county auditor, has CIV
en- Odin Halden the fight of his life
Mr.. Johnson spent last week on the
ranges and reports from there indi-
cate that he made many friends. His
chances for success at the polls are
unusually bright.
L. A. Gunderson, the Democratic
candidate for register of deeds, is
surely a live one. He is conducting
the most active campaign. that has
ever been waged by candidate for
political office in this county. His ad-
vertising is unique and no doubt is
winning him many friends.

individual making an organized effort
to increase wages, to reduce hours, or
to better the conditions of labor-or-
ganized or unorganized- without run
ming the risk of criminal prosecution
under the provisions of the Antitrust
law.
On April 2, 1912, the Children s
bill came UP in the House. This Wad
also favored by organized labor. Rep
resentative Miller Of this district, was
one of the very few members of Con-
gress who lodged the vote on this
bill.
Voted Against Labor.
On May IA, 1912, the Clayton In
junction bill, H. r. 23635, acceptable
to the American Federation of La
Dor; limiting the issuance of injunc-
lions, came up in the House. On the
special rule to have this bill taken up,
Congressman Miller of Minnesota
voted against the motion and against
the wishes of the officers of the
American Federation of Labor. A lit
tie later, however, when it became
evident that opposition to the bill was
futile, he voted in favor of the final
passage of the bill, but on the pre-
ceding motion, he was among the
members of Congress who attempted
to prevent its consideration by the
House. -
In fairness to Congressman Miller
it should be said that he voted in ia
vor of the Clayton Contempt bill in
all stages of it's proceedings.

old FOLKS; GUESTS
At SCOTCH CONCERT
Clan Stewart Will Act as Host of
Aged Scottish Residents
On HalloWe 'en.

twenty-five of the old Scotch resi-
dents of the Twin Ports will be the
honor guests of Clan Stewart on Hal
lowe'en. For that night the Clan has
engaged the Lyceum and has arranged
for Scottish concert in which will
be heard the very best Scottish sing
ers in this country.
The natural modesty of the COM
mittee who are arranging the con-
cert made them balk at occupying the
theater boxes. They felt that they
were doing nothing that should en-
title them to the distinction of sit
ting in box. So someone suggest
ed that rs Oldest Scottish residents
should be sought out by committee
appointed for that purpose, and that
the boxes be reserved for them. The
suggestion was met with most hearty
approval and the special committee
is now at work.
That the evening will be a night
of rare pleasure to Clan Stewards
guests is certain. a.
Miss Esther Hood, now of Brooklyn,
but recently from Scotland, and who
has been making a wonderful hit in
the east with her rendering Of the
auld Scotch sangs, will make her
first appearance before a western
audience. Her first song will be my
Ain Folk" and this will be sung
out of compliment to the special
honor guests of the Clan.
Then Jock McGuickan of St. Paul,
who impersonates Harry Lauder so
successfully that many prefer him to
the original Lauder himself, will be
heard in a number Of Lauder selec-
lions. McGuickan has sung for Clan
Stewart and for Clan Cameron of Su-
success that the patrons of the Clans
entertainments insisted upon his being
asked to contribute a. part in the pro-
gram.
Miss Hood and J. r. Bachelor will
sing several Scottish duets, and
Philip Gordon Brown will also ap-
pear on the program.
The sword dance and Highland fling
will be danced by Miss Margaret
Smith to the music of the bagpipes
played by her father, John Smith,
who was for years the official piper
of the Clan.
During the intermission between
two sections of the program, Agnes
Mae johnson will entertain with sew
eral of her delightful readings.
It can be imagined that with such a
program as this the old people will
feel that they. have celebrated the
great Scottish festive night of Hal
lowe'en in finer style than ever before
during their lives.
At the Clan hall this evening the
members and their families will en-
JOY one of their famous "Guid Scotch
Nichts." A short program of Scottish
songs will be followed by an informal
luncheon prepared by the ladies of
the Clan. The evenings program will
close with dancing for which De-
Marcos orchestra will furnish the
music.
