@ and more full Of unprofitable . servants."-From an address by . z Prof. Wilson to the graduating z . class of Princeton university, . z June 30, 1909. z ssssssssssssssssssssssssss
 Woodrow Wilson, Democratic can didate for president, is now address ing honeyed words to the laborine man in the hope of securing the labor vote. He would, if he could. have the workingman forget the address deliv, cred by him at Princeton in 1909, in which he regretted that "labor is standardized by the trades unions, and asserted that such regulation of labor is economically disastrous Nor will labor forget that in the same speech he characterized members of labor unions as "unproftable serv- ants"
 No wonder that the Minnesota State Federation of Labor recently adopted resolutions condemning Professor VII son for his antagonistic attitude to- ward organized labor.
 And while Professor Wilson is ap- pealing to the workingman to over. look his own personal views and vote the Democratic ticket he should know that the record of the Democratic par. ty in connection with the workingman is engraved upon the tablets of labor's memory.
 Labor has not voted for a Demo. cratic president since the terrible ex. perience which followed the Demo. cratic victory In 1892.
 And labor will not this year vote to repeat those distressing times.
 What Labor Remembers.
 Labor has not forgotten that under Democratic administration, before the election of President Mckinley. thou. sands of idle men were walking the streets of every city, town and ham. let in the country in search of em. ployment and the chance to earn an honest living.
 Labor has not forgotten the soup houses established all over the coun. try at that time.
 Labor has not forgotten the proces. sions of unemployed-from New York to San Francisco, and from the Cana. dian border to the gulf, seeking NOT CHARITY, BUT WORK, during . Democratic national administration.
 Labor has not forgotten Coxey's and Kelly's armies one of the products of Democracy.
 Labor has not forgotten the hordes of tramps made by Democratic rule.
 Labor has not forgotten that the Democratic national administration caused the depletion of labor's treas uries to keep the destitute and unem. ployed alive.
 Labor has not forgotten those try ing days of Democratic misrule, when 1t turned its halls, meeting places and assembly rooms into sleeping quar. ters for all who could find room therein.
 No Bread to Eat.
 Labor has not forgotten that labor alone suffered then, that labor lacked bread to eat. clothes to wear and a roof for shelter.
 Labor has not forgotten that labor alone worked out the problem of its salvation in those trying days.
 Labor has not forgotten that 1t bounced Democratic rule for Repub- lican rule at it's first opportunity in the first presidential election after that period-in 1896, and has not voted for a Democratic candidate for president since.
 Labor has not forgotten that trusts and monopolies were born in the White House while a Democratic president stood guardian.
 Labor has not forgotten that Dem ocratic free trade means free trade fin labor only.
 Now a Full Dinner Pail.
 Labor has not forgotten its lesson on how it passed through poverty and friendlessness and Democratic nal. administration to the full dinner pail of the Mckinley and subsequent Re publican administrations.
 Labor has not forgotten that the American Federation of Labor held its annual convention in the council chambers in the city hall, Chicago, the week of Monday, December II, 1893, at time when 1000 men were night. ly sleeping on the cold stone floors oi chicago's city hall building, because
