HON. JAS. A. HoucHIN

HON. JAS. A. HOUCHlN
AS A PRODUCER.
One of the fundamental principles
Of the labor organizations OF to-day
Is an opposition to the nontproducers
of the day occupying the offices and
places OF TRUST and profit. They, the
working people of this great state,
have 1T 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 ait the AlI-
gust prlmariees are four lawyers, all
excellent gentlemen, and men of the
very highest type, but who ever
heard of a lawyer being clagsed ais a
producer OF anything but wealth for
himself. On the other hand, we
have Mr.. Jas. A. Houchin, one OF the
five, who lis strictly, and i'm every
sense of the word a producer. Mr..
Houchin, besides being a successful
manufacturer, employing hundreds OF
men, is also a farmer and stock
raiser, owning two of the finest
stock farms in the country, and is
breeding and producing the finest
horses in the world, "old Kentmck"
not excepted.
Now. to be fair how cam amy work
ing man argue for the uplift of the
producing classes Of this stale, and
vote for amy one except Mr.. Houch-
N, who measures up to their stand
ard in every particular as pro-
ducer and an employer of labor. He
employs more men ait goodwHges than
all the other candidates combined.
in this article, it is not the inhnt
TO speak disparingly Of amy of the ex-
celIent gentlemen who are aspirants
for the honorable position ofGovernor
Of this great state, but simply to
call the attention OF the work 'ng7clhEs
and farmers to the fact th,s they
Lave an opportunity to casl their
votes for a producer and one in every
sense in perfect harmony with argul-
ments OF all labor and farmers organ
izations ON this particular point.
The only way to be fair with
yourselves and practice what you
preach, is for you working mem and
farmers to vote for Jas. A. Honchin
for the democratic nomination for
Governor at the August primaries.

A HIGH TRIBUTE

A true sportsman passed away up

he was as well a gentleman-in the

life was a chapter Of family and fildal

ica, expressions OF Kindness and acts
and deeds of liberality between
friend and friend. Tested, he defied
the action Of the crncible; loved, he
suriied devotion many-fold- His COM
ranonship was worth travelling far
t. enjoy, and the memory of his
friendship. involuntarily adamantean,
viii be lastdng with those who cher
dshed his intimacy. This meager tri-
ute from the writer is pardonable. For
years camp bed, mess pot, bag and
ereel were shared together. New
er a sign of displeas1re nor a dis
siahtled word came from this man,
WHO loved all the great out OF doors.
Situations ingariably arise between
fniends that are to riot or must be
ourbed.
One can find out another in ev-
ely friendship, but one sportsman
knows best another after night on
me ground together or when there's
the division Of quarry at the home
going and Tom Null stood all the
tests.- His popularity is one OF the
egacies left by him to his family. |
Surely there is no other haven for
'uch a sportsman to go when he
caves the traias and streams of
his world of TRIALS, disappointments
md yicisltudes but the happy hHinting
grounds. Those who have shot, ang-
ed and bunked with Tom can wish
or no reward hereafter much greater
han to be permitted to meet him
here.-C. M. Basket, in Sundays
