TO the Editor of The Times:

80 ~ NV
am more than pleased an Demo
crat to see the course you are taking
In regard TO the Vote Swappers'
league, including the state central
committee. They did everything they
could. and most OF It unwarranted. to
defeat Ferris and Wilson for nominal
ton. gave them luke warm assistance
during the election and now want all
the offices. They have done everything
to discredit Wilson aud Ferris support
ers from the beginning and to relegate
them to the rear They are now In
hope that the organization will be rec
ognized and that all the offices will go
to them and the people who were the
true and tried friends Of Wilson and
Ferris campaign In Michigan to sue
the political trick Is turned. The peo-
pie who carried on the Wilson and
Ferris campign In Michigan to sue
cessful conclusion should not have to
take any unnecessary steps to be rec
ognized for the true and faithful work
that they performed.

AND IMPRACTI.
CAL.

The Pueblo papers in commenting
on Governor Wilson's speech stated
that he was at home talking to the
school children but that the address
he gave at the opera house was evil
dence that he could not get away
from the fact that he has been deal
ing with children and young people
all mis- life. He could not realize that
he was talking to mature minds.
The governor seemed to be both
cred in no small way over the fact
that he was not certain as to the ac-
ton that the voters would take at the
November elections in the various
states.
1t was noticed to the displeasure
Of the Democratic leaders that TIE
workingmen-and there are thousands
Of them in Pueblo and Ncinity-were
not present and that there was no no
tice Of sending their regrets. They
had read Of Wilson's free trade the
ories and thought it not necessary to
learn more Of the presidential candi-
date. They had read about the Coxey
army Of the Cleveland free trade ad-
ministration.

THE PROPOSED EIGHT
HOUR DAY FOR WOMEN

The third proposition which must
be passed upon by the voters at the
coming election is known as the EIGHT
hour law for women" 1t provides for
the regulation and limiting of the
hours Of employment of females in
manufacturing, mechanical and mer-
camille establishments, laundries, ho-
tells, and restaurants. II declares these
occupations to be injurious to health
and dangerous to life and limb. Sec
tion 2 provides as follows:
mo female shall be employed in
any manufacturing, mechanical or
mercantile establishment, laundry,
hotel or restaurant in this state more
than eight out Of twenty-four hours
in any one calander day. The hours
Of work may be so arranged as to
permit the employment Of females
at any time provided that any such
female shall not work more than eight
hours out Of the twenty -four hours Of
one calendar day.

INCOMPETENT LAW MAKERS

1t appears that from the construc-
tion Of the election laws of Califor-
mia given recently by the supreme
court that the Taft Republicans are
refused an opportunity to vote for
Taft electors. The Roosevelt electors
have a place on the regular Republic
an ticket, the Roosevelt Republicans
having control of the party in that
state.
Now the supreme court of Idaho
has decided that the Roosevelt elect
ors can not be placed on the Novem-
Der ballot in that the law has not
been properly complied with.
No doubt from standpoint Of JUS
tice both states have fool laws. Tho
law Of state should be such that
any considerable number Of people can
place candidates of their choice on the
ticket to be voted at the November
election.
In California those voters who de-
sire to vote for Taft may either stay
at home or go to the polls and select
a second choice for president. In Ida
no the Roosevelt voters will be forced
to do the same thing.
