there's what London critic has call

ENEMY of Labor"
CHICAGO, January 21.-Woodrow
Wilson, governor of New Jersey and
candidate for the Democratic nominal
ton for president of the United
States, was attacked on the floor of
the Chicago Federation of Labor today
as "a reactionary masquerading as a
progressive" and as IAN awoved
enemy of organized labor"
Excerpts from speeches made by
Wilson when he was president of
Princeton University, denouncing la
Dor unions as monopolies, were read
in communication sent to the cen
trail labor body by the Patternmakers'
Association.
/ The communication originally was
sent out by the organized patternmak-
ers of New York, and has been for.
warded to every city in the country
where the local unions of pattern-mak-
ers exist.
Efforts to have the communication
laid on the table failed in the labor
body, but delegates asked that an in
vestigation be made before they went
on record as opposing the candidacy

other S69S9. Either one department
paid too much or the other not
enough, he said. In travel alone the

saving machinery; through the elm
ination of unnecessary copy work; by
cutting down needless expense in the
distribution of public documents, and
in many other ways could millions be
saved each year. The President urged
the adoption of the budget system, "
which would bring before congress,
the press and the people of the coun-
try not only the proposed expenditures
of the government, but it's revenue.
THE United States is the only great
nation whose government is operated
without a budget" ne said Later,
the President declared, he intends to
send to congress a plan for the re-
tirement of civil service employees on
pensions which will safeguard the gov.
eminent interest and yet provide for
their old age.

country should be abolished and hun

be continued in its work
The treasury department, Taft
showed, looked after the Nations
finances and the life-saving service.
The Commission, he said had recon-
mended the abolition of the revenue

saving of 100000 a year.

Hawaii Has Six Delegates.
BUFFALO, N. Y, January 18.-The
official call for the Democratic Nation
al Convention to be held at Baltimore
June 25th was issued by Norman e.
Mack, chairman, and Urey Woodson,
secretary of the Democratic National
Committee, today The basis of rep
Presentation and the method of naming
delegates is outlined as follows:
Delegates and alternates for every
Senator, and two delegates for every
Representative from the states, re-
lspectively, in the Congress of the
United States, under the COMPRESSION
al reapportionment of districts based
on the census of 1910 The District
of Columbia, Alaska, the Philippines,
Hawaii and Porto Rico are each al
lotted six delegates.
In the choice of delegates and al
.ternates the Democratic State or Ter
ritorial committee may, if not other
wise directed by the law of such
States or Territories, provide for the
direct election of such delegates and
alternates if, in the opinion of the re-
spective committees, it is deemed de-
sirable and possible to do so with
proper and sufficient safeguards.
Where such provision is not made and
where the State laws do not provide
specifically the manner of such choice,
then the delegates and alternates to
the said national convention shall be
chosen in the manner that governed
the choice of delegates to the last

Hearst Secures Space.
BALTIMORE, Md, January 49,
william R. Hearst has contracted to

Governor Wilson was obliged, with

Only Opponents Weep.
WASHINGTON, January 19.-The
IWilson-Harvey episode brought forth
today, simultaneously with the arrival
of Colonel Henry Watterson, a state
ment by William F. McCombs, cam
paign manager for Woodrow Wilson,
declaring that the tears that are be-
ing shed over the passing incident
are wrung from those who have hith-
ertO been the most conspicuous oppO-
nents of Governor Wilson"
Colonel Watterson, who will be here
several days in connection with the
work of the Perry Memorial Comis-
sion, read the McCombs statement,
but declined to make any comment.
"As to the Wilson matter" said the
Colonel, Il have nothing to add to
what has already been said, unless it
be seriously challenged by some re-
sponsible person. Then l may have a
good deal to say"
The statement issued by McCombs
follows:
with reference to the alleged viii
son-Harvey incident, it seems to me
that Colonel Watterson has said in a
statement all that needs to be said,
1t appears that as far back as last
October he himself suggested to Gov
ernor Wilson that Colonel Harvey's
support through Harper's Weekly,
might be injurious, and that he prob
ably told Colonel Harvey himself the
same thing.
Strong Praise for Wilson.
"In October last, also the very
month in which he made these sug-
gestions to Governor Wilson, Colonel
Watterson said in the Louisville Cour-
Ter Journal editOrially:
1.-Two things seem tolerably sure
to the surmise of the Courier Journal;
If Woodrow Wilson is nominated for
President it will be through the force
of an irresistible pressure of public
opinion; and if he is defeated for the
nomination it will be by some organ
lied agency, well backed with money
No Democrat of modern times ha:
come into the running, Samuel J. Til
den alone excepted, with half, at once
of the equipment and the claim of the
New Jersey Governor
THE tears that are being shed owe
the passing incident are wrung from
those who have hitherto been the
most conspicuous opponents of Gov
ernor Wilson-witness the frequentl!

Their Plan of Attack

SA:JT IAGO. May 30.-General Oste-

mands all the rebelliods negroes in cas-
tern Cuba, Is reported to be planning
an attack upon Guantanamo. Both rebel
leaders are still in their strong posi-
tlons In the jungle hills awaiting am
munition. '' .
The information that Ostonoz contem-
plated an attack on Guantanamo was
contained In n message taken from a
negro rebel. Other dispatches indicated
that Iyonet was planning TO begin a
campaign near Nipe hay, In the heart
Of the rich American interests.
Owing to the eagerness Of :he negro
forces and the scarcity of their amn,u-
milton, It is lot believed that the cam
raigns are really under contemplation,
bet that talse messages are allowed to
fall into the federals hands to mislead
the government.

storing communication in Guantanamo
