WILFORD H. TAYLOR,
Sole Proprietor and Manager of
TAYLOR'S BAKERY.

The business of catering to the public,
both wholesale and retail, in a creditable
and efficient manner, is one of much i'm
portance when it concerns bakeries and
food products. One of the best conduct
ed and most literally patronized estab-
lishments of this kind in Denver is the
Taylor bakery, which is located at 1853
Jason street. Mr. Taylor is manufactur-
er of the well and favorably known
Daisy Bread" which is in great demand
throughout the city. He is also manu-
facturer of all kinds of bakery goods and
his output is received with universal sat
isfaction throughout the state. The Tay-
lor's Bakery is equipped with all the lat
est devices for the prosecution of their
extensive wholesale and retail business
and we hope to see the business grow
and expand the coming year
This bakery is a strictly union bakery
and therefore deserves all the patronage
that union labor commands.

INJUNCTION AND CONTEMPT LEeIs
LATION.

Washington-The Injunction Limita-
tion bill. H. R. 23635. is still before the
senate judiciary committee. The attor-
neys for the manufacturers and rail.
roads are appearing in opposition to the
measure. When they have concluded
President Gompers and a few others will
make arguments in behalf of the bill.
Letters coming to the senators from
trade unionists are having very per-
ceptible effect in favor of it. If this
practice is continued and the senators
are given to clearly understand that they
will be each held responsible If con-
gress adjourns without this legislation
being enacted, the senators undoubtedly
will heed the directions given them by
their constituents.
The Contempt bill, H. r. 22591, was
brought before the house with special
rule, on July 8. The rule was adopted
by vote of 152 to 81. After consider
able debate the bill was passed on July

POLITICAL ACTION.
New Political Club lndorses Sheriff Capp
for Secretary of State.

The United Federated Protective
league-some name that-has endorsed
the candidacy of Sheriff M. p. Capp of
Boulder county for secretary of state.
There is no reason why the league
should not endorse the sheriff's candi-
dacy, and no reason, either, why the
league could not, for it was organized
for that purpose.
The league was formally organized
Sunday with few people present. The
officers of the league, elected at the per-
manent organization Sunday, are John
McLennan, president of the Colorado
State Federation of Labor, president
Edward l.. Doyle, secretary of district
is, U. NJ. W. of A, vice-president, and
John NJ. O'Neil, editor of the Miners
magazine of the Western Federation,
secretary-treasurer.
1t is understood that the organization
will be made statewide. While few
have gotten together and formed a per-
manent organization, it is understood
that now all will be asked to participate
and boost the game of the miners. They
hold all the offices and own the league.
1t is said by persons who have been in
attendance that letters will be sent to
the different labor organizations of the
ycity asking them to sanction the game
of the elect few that have full control
of the proposed statewide political or
ganization.
Sheriff Capp is good man for any
Office to which he may aspire; but his
aspirations are sure to conflict with
those of Secretary of State James b.
Pearce, who is a candidate for re-elec-
ton The miners will need statewide
organization to beat Ben Pearce for the
nomination.
