LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
CALLS IT A PITY
That Labor Man Should Be Put Uf
Against Another.

Editor, Barre Daily Times: On
Wednesday evening Aug Z, a mass meet
ing was held to see if the trades unions
would nominate candidate for repre-
sentative this year. Less than one per
cent. of the wage earners of Barre were
present, and as there was one candidate
already in the field, the meeting decided
that there should not be two. / am now
informed that . few of those who were
not satisfied with the result of that
meeting have formed an independent la
Dor party, to put another candidate in
the field and thus cut their own Threats
by playing into the hands of the capital
istic class. Are they true union men
Or is a man who allows his name to be
used under these conditions really inter.
ested in the rights of the working peo-
pie?
| would like to know who was the
cause of the secret meeting held last Fri
day evening for this purposel Was it
authorized by organized labor, or any
branch of it? l am well aware that
there are many working men who are
qualified to represent the working peo-
pie, but that is not the question. It's
a pity that working man can be used
to cripple his own cause,
Man is sent into this world, we are told,
To do all the good that he can;
Yet how many worship the chink Of the
gold,
And never once think of the man.
j. t. Callaghan.

Judue Dillon OF Ohio.

Judge Edmund b. Dillon OF Column
bus, who was nominated for governor
by the Ohio Republicans and subse-
quently withdrew from the ticket, took
that unusual step because of the de-
termination Of the Roosevelt party to
put up third ticket in the state.
The nomination of Judge Dillon was
made against his own wish. When
the delegates were gathered for the
state convention he steadfastly re-
fused to allow his name to be used
in connection with the governorship,
wanting only the nomination for judge
of the supreme court. After several
ballots had been taken a stampede
was started for Judge Dillon, and he
was on the fifth ballot nominated.
Judge Dillon thought when he was
nominated that his selection marked
the end Of the new party movement

(his fellow-citizensl can do for me in
the way of political preferment." So
now, unless Governor Mead decides to
take a third cup of coffee, the people OF
Vermont may rest assured that he will
not be candidate fer further Office, as
many have supposed that he might be,
and that hereafter he will devote him
self to increasing the solidity Of his
great business in Rutland county and,
mayhap, to the formation of Don't
Worry clubs. incidentally, it may be
remarked, he has paved the way for
largely increased membership in Il II
clubs by his utterance above.

Carmi Alexander Thompson of Ohio,
who succeeds G. ID. Hilles as secretary
TO President Taft, was formerly coal
miner and got his first start in life as
a wielder of the pick. Since that long
ago day, however, he steadily moved
upward and for many years has been
a prominent figure In Ohio politics.
A native of West Virginia and forty
two years old, Mr.. Thompson has
spent most of his life at Ironton, O.
BY working In the mines he earned
enough money to get high school ed
ucation and then took an academic
course In the Ohio State university.
Two years of teaching and more saw
ing enabled him to take a law course
at the same institution. In 1895 he
was admitted to the bar, and he began
practice at Ironton. After a term as
city solicitor he went to the legislature
and was speaker of the house in
1867 Then he was elected secre.
tary of state and reelected two years
later. At the close of his second term
he was appointed assistant secretary
of the interior at Washington, from
which post he resigned to take the
place made vacant by the selection OF
Mr.. Hilles to manage President Taft's
campaign.
