This explains the eason that such
a frantic effort is being made to cleo;
Massey, the stand-patter. This is
the reason why it is a duty which
Democrats owe their party to elect
Key Pittman. 1t is not a matter of
personality or friendship. It is sim
ply a matter of blocking the Repub-
licans from killing progressive legis-
lation in the United States senate.

I SO these false standards setup to

posed and the people have turned
to the party which for years has
been striving to secure legislation
lin their behalf and which today
stands certain Of success at this time
Even Wall street is offering odds OF
4 to | that Woodrow Wilson will be
detected.
But the election OF Wilson will not
mean anything for the people them
selves unless both houses OF CON
lgress are Democratic. 1t is abso-
necessary that a Democratic
senate and house Of representatives
be elected or il will be impossible to
put through progressive Democratic
legislation and turn the power of the
government into the hands Of the
themselves.
The stand-patters and TAFT re-
dictionaries have abandoned hope of
selecting their candidate for presi-
dent. so they have centered their
fight to retain control of the upper
house of congress. They are work
ing on the basis that progressive
Democratic legislation originating in
the lower house will never pass the
and reach the Democratic
president. il they can secure a ma
jority in the upper house. That is
why such a tremendous fight is be-
ing made in this State to return Sen
ator Massey. He IS a Taft reaction
airy and would continue to line up
with the stand-pattcrs and block any
progressive legislation. That is why
the Republicans are using every eff
fort TO at lease elect Massey. They
don't care a rap about the head of
the ticket. 1t is admitted Taft cam
not be elected. 1t doesn't matter
whether Roberts is reelected b.

When she did not come home
all day, her husband went to the
station to ask for her, but was
told to get out, that there was no

After three visits, and insistencs

she had been In court. but that

Someone of the station attendants

Some $4,000 was paid out
over the Congress bar last week
to longshoremen employed on the
Milwaukee docks. How much of
that the saloon got, how much
their families got, how much some
of their foremen got out of the
81, 900 is a matter of conjecture.
When the men finished work
and asked for their pay at the
office of Brotherton g. Brotherton,
stevedores, who handle the load
ing for the Milwaukee, they were
told:
Pay At o O'Clock.
1--WE pay off tomorrow between
9 and II at the Congress saloon"
The men were all there at SO
as not to miss their money.
They had to wait till after 2.
There was more or less drinking
while they were waiting. For
that too was part Of the scheme.
Finally the man from Brother
toms office showed up. Payment
was made over the bar to the men
who stood three and four deep be-
hind, waiting their turn.
An employe of Brotherton Bros.
paid the money.
Commissioner Petit heard OF
the scheme and had a plain clothes
man there to see what when on.
Petit will bring the matter up be-
fore the commissioners.
Recalls Times Fight.
Last spring after a fight made
by the Times against the steve
dores compelling hngshoremen to
get their jobs at saloons, the coun-
ell passed an ordinance ordering
the blackIboards containing adver-
tisements for jobs out of the sa-
looms.
Since that time some of the sa-
looms have been working under
cover. The Congress saloon
scheme is their first move in the
open since.

Every once in a while you hear
about an office seeking the man,
but you don't see it very often.
But that seems to be the case
with Hamilton F. Gronen and the
job of commissioner of light and
water.
Gronen, a tall, quiet gangly en-
gineer, was busy building the Mis-
Qually power plant when Weeks
resigned. The commission insist
ed on Gronen taking the job till
the election. Any new man
would have gone in handicapped.
The city had much at stake.
9TH take the job IL I can quit
when my terms is over" said the
engineer finally.
Insist That He Run.
He hadn't been in office more
than a week when people started
after him insisting that he run for
the place for the rest of the term.
They finally took out papers for
him without waiting his consent.
IF the people want me to
handle the job" GrOnen says, "I'n
do it. don't know anything about
politics, and don't intend to learn.
But If elected, I'll try to give the
city cracking good water and
light department. am mighty In
terested in seeing the Nisqually
plant make good, and don't mind
sticking around long enough to
see it in operation"
Gronen looks about 2S, but was
born 81 years ago In Davenport,
Iowa, and has been in engineering G
work since he was a boy.
