this morning. The portion consisted

the left wing. The fighting was chief
ly with artillery, and lasting about two
hours, after which the enemy fell back
with no further attack on our works.
Our loss was small.

AN EVENING THOUGHT

If 1 have faltered more or less
In my great task of happiness;
If I have moved among my race.
And shown no glorious morning
face;
II beams from happy human eyes
Have moved me not: If morning
skies,
Books and my food, and summer
rain
Knocked on my sullen heart in
vain
Lord, Thy most pointed pleasure
take.
And stab my spirit broad awake.
--R. L. Stevenson.

A SPLENDID OLD DEMOCRAT.

1t is pleasure these days to meet staunch
old fighting democrat. One who has been on
the firing line for forty years and who cast his
first vote in the grand old democratic state of
Texas where in those days democrat had to
march up to the polls between two files of buck
negro soldiers: Such democrat is DR.. Hughes,
of Phoenix, democratic candidate for Governor.
He has been in this county two days this week
and is on his way home having practically COM
pleted his canvass of the state. DR.. Hughes
may be classed "dry' democrat. While
he has allied himself with any third party
movement, and has never been member of the
Prohibition party, still it is well known fact that
he has been fighting in favor of temperance all
bis life. But DR.. Hughes is not running on a
prohibition plank His platform is LAW EN-
FORCEMENT in this state and if nominated
and elected he can be depended upon to execute
the laws as he finds them written in the statutes.
There is nothing that savors of the demagogue in
the makeup OF DR.. Hughes. He is plain and old
fashioned but with undaunted courage in his con-
victions. DR.. Hughes is the candidate of man
or set of men and his nomination would be a
credit and honor to his party.

Editorial Opinion
MARK SMITH LAeoR,s Blend

1t has been charged recently al
some places in the state that Senator
Mark Smith, who is now seeking a
reelection, is a corporation man, in
the hope no doubt that voters will as
sumo that no man can be a friend of
corporations and at the same time
have regard for the honest working
men of the country.
Senator Mark Smith no doubt feels
just like President Wilson does re-
gardfng corporations; he believes that
honest business should have the sup
port and aid of government and that
dishonest business should be brought
to the path of recitude. This is the
attitude of Mark Smith, as shown by
his votes on measures that have come
before the senate since he has been
member of that body. The following
shows the record of Senator Smith on
bills affecting labor and its rights in
this country:
Voted to abolish the commerce
court, which seemed to do nothing
while it existed, except to override
every decision made by the interstate
commerce committee in favor of the
shipping public
Voted yes on the question of limit
ing the hours of employees on public
works.
Voted yes on the exemption of
abor from operation of injunctions
lnder the antitrust law.
Voted yes on the employers liabili-
ty and working mans compensation
bill. And on its final passage voted
yes for every amendment that would
help labor which was offered in that
bill.
Voted for the creation of a de- |
partment of labor and for a bill to pay |
mechanics overtime on public building. |
Voted for the bill to protect Ameri-
IAN seamen.
Voted for the investigation of /
conditions at Paint Creek, w. ", coal
mines, also of Michigan.
Voted for the increase of salaries L
If mail carriers and clerks in post
'ffices.
Voted yes on the question of the h
light of the postal employees of the {
government to organize unions '
Voted yes on every bill that came '
p that would aid and better the con- I
itions of all laboring classes - i
