Cleveland, April 20.--Barrett O'Hara

is worth as a workman. He seems
convinced that his value as a toiler

bill did much to insure its passage

WHAT THE SCHOOL TEACHERS THINK OF

I'VE the undersigned, principal and

WHAT LABOR THINKS OF ZIHLMAN.
Baltimore, Md, April Is, 1914.
Baltimore Federation of Labor,
To all whom 1t may concern
Whereas, Frederick N. Zihlman,
State Senator from Allegany county,
has consistently manifested an active
interest in the welfare Of the laboring
people, and
Whereas, he ably advocated the
enactment of legislation best calculated
to improve the working conditions of
those employed as wage workers in the
State of Maryland, and has at all times
proven himself a true friend of the
organized workmen of our State.
Now, therefore be it resolved, that
the Baltimore Federation Of Labor eX-
presses its hearty approval of Senator
Zlhlman's Jealous and conscientious
efforts, that we congratulate the
Cumberland Trades Council and the
people of Allegany County in general
on having had such an able represen-
tative during the past three sessions of
the General Assembly of Maryland.
And be it further resolved, That a
copy of these resolutions be sent to the
Cumberland Trades Council and Sen
ator Frederick N. Zihman:
Signed JOHN H. FERGUSON, Pres.
JOHN E. MOORE, Sec.
Mr.. Editor, you had better get posted
on Senator Lihlman's standing anC
record, or YOU will be back num-
Der
Frederick N. Zihlman was borr
in the year 1879, at Carnegie, Pa, hi.
family moving to Cumberland three
years later. At the age of eleven year:
he entered the glass factory, and late
learned the trade of glass blower.
| In 1901 he was elected president o.
the Local Union of Glass Workers. ant
held the position for i've years, serving
during the labor troubles of 1904. Ii
1904 he was elected National Delegate
a position he also held for five years
during which he served two years a
National Executive Board Member.
In 1904 he was elected President 0
the Allegany Trades Council and va
reelected for four consecutive terms.
In 1906 he assisted in organizing tn
State Federation of Labor, and was it
first President, and was unanimousl
elected for a second term.
In 1909 he was elected to the Stat
Senate by a majority OF 2, $50. Durini
| the term covering two sessions Of tn
General Assembly the Baltimore paper
state The won an enviabIe reputatio
and became one Of the leaders of tn
Senate.
In 1913 he was reelected to the Stat
Senate from Allegany county by
tiattering majority. His parlimentar
training Immediately was recognize
and he was made unanimously the foc
leader in the Senate OF the Republca
z party.

What Democrats Think of Senator
Frederick n. Zihlman.

His opponent, Mr.. Zihlman, has serv-
ed term in the Maryland Senate from
Allegany county. Perhaps he was
Handicapped by being in the minority.
but that fact is not sufficient to account
for his failure to rise to position of
real leadership in his own party except
in his county. We are not advised of
any measure of general public concern
that he originated or of which he be-
came the advocate; nor has he shown
any signs of ability to take the lead In
council or In debate. So far as the
records disclose, there is not one quail
fication of Congressman in which ne
is not, by long odds. inferior to David
j. Lewis. Oakland Democrat, of last
week.
There is an old adage, 'Great men
differ in their opinions. The editor of
the Democrat, in the above paragraph
gives his estimate of Senator Zihlman.
Let US see what Mr.. Lewis, the Demo
crat candidate, thinks of Senator Zihl-
man.
Congressman Lewis writing to Zihl-
man in connection with the passage of
the miners relief bill, says: You
must know that whatever happens your
services and devotion have been the
best that a human being could give
your record is made and will endure. -
Signed David J. Lewis.
The Evening Times Of Cumberland,
Democrat paper of Allegany county
does not think as the editor of the
Democrat thinks. The Times says:
Gle developed an aptitude and re-
sOurcefulness which gave him a ranking
position with such leaders of the opposi-
ton as Pres. Price, Senators Campbell,
Harper and Lee, the shining oratorical
lights OF the Upper House. with whom
he was always able to hold his own in
arguments, and give good account Of
himself in parliamentary debates, and
his work in the Senate forms a record
uneXcelled by any predecessor, Demo-
crat or Republican, and viii be remem-
bered with pride by himself and many
friends, and which will serve to COM
mend the efforts of Senator Zihiman to
his constituents, whom he served with
such distinction and zeal, regardless OF
political atiliatiOn or belief, for many
years to come"
These two quotations prove that the
editor of the Democrat is not posted as
to Senator Zihlman. Congressman
Lewis says: Your record Is made anc
will endure" The Times gives him q
ranking position with such leaders OF
the opposition as Pres Price, Senator;
Campbell, Harper and Lee, the shining
oratorical lights of the Upper House.
The Times says, His worI, in the
Senate forms a record unexcelled by
any predecessor, Democrat or Repub
lican. " The editor Of the Democra
is in class by himself.
Let US see what the G. A R. thinks
of Senator Zihlman.
At the 10Th Annual Encampment
Department of Maryland, Grand Arm,
OF the Republic, the following resolu
ton was unanimously adopted:
"Resolved by the officers and dele
gates here assembled, that we exten,
to the Hon. F. N. Zihlman, State Sen
ator for Allegany county, oar heart
felt tina nks and unbounded appreciation
for the intelligent, earnest and success
full efforts by which he so expeditiousl
passed Senate Bill No. 76, prcyiiin,
