NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Whether or not
we wish to keep our minds free from pol
itics and give our whole thought to
business, there comes a time, at least
once in four years, when 1T can't be
done
We are now entering upon such a Pc
riod. 1t is the national canvas, and by
newspapers, pamphlets, advertisements,
orations, and personal persuasion" We
meet up with politics on every side.
The labor vote is in much demand.
Appeals directly to all working men are
being made by all the parties. 1t is
therefore interesting to the working men
and women of the country to know Just
how complete an organization at least
one OF the great parties has put into
the field to state its position respecting
labor.
The Democratic Headquarters.
Ii you happen to enter this great city
by way OF the New York Central rail
road and walk west Just one block. YOU
Will hit upon the headquarters of the
Democratic National Committee which
occupies two floors and more of one of
the towering office buildings at the
corner of Forty-second street and MadI-
son avenue.
Going up to the third floor you will
be directed to the labor bureau which oc-
eupies several rooms. You will see there
a very busy force who will meet You
with cordial voice and handshake that
is part of the welcome OF all political
partymen.
Task Notean Easy One
You cannot help but be impressed
! with the magnitude OF the work this
bureau of the national committee is at
tempting to do, and when YOU sit down
and hear the work described, you realize
how thoro and comprehensive is the ser
vice of this department
The Republican National Committee
will be found Just one block west and
north from the Democratic headquarters
but here, so far as We are able to learn
there is no labor bureau organized as
yet. The work of winning the voters
to support Mr.. Hughes seems merged
with the general campaign work.
Western Branch in Chicago.
The Democratic labor bureau also has
branch in Chicago. The Eastern branch
in New York city is in charge of Judge
r :. Hudspeth, county prosecutor of
Hudson county. n. J.. who has repu.
tation in his home state of being most
friendly to labor.
Assisting Judge Hudspeth is Herman
Robinson, who was also in charge of the
labor bureau of the Democratic National
Committee in 1895 and 1912
Mr. Robinson Union Man.
Mr.. Robinson organized and presided
at the first public meeting addressed by
Mr.. Wilson in 1912. This was labor
meeting held at the Yorkville Casino in
this city

Nn~l-ar1 TTrtn,, IS
al organizer for the American Federation
OF Labor for twelve years; general or
ganizer for the New York State Fedora
tion of Labor for twelve years; financial
secretary of the Central Federated Un-
ion OF New York city for twelve years;
and, in 1910, was appointed commission
er of licenses for New York city by the
late Mayor Gaynor, who was his per.
sonal friend.
How the Work is Conducted.
Mr.. Robinson explained to The Bulle-
tin representative in a general way, how
the Democratic labor bureau is conduct
ing its work.
I'VE are sending the gospel of Democ-
raey into every corner of the land" he
said. with a twinkle in his eve, that
every man who labors may read or hear
what Woodrow Wilson has done for
labor.
The Western bureau is conducting the
work in the West while we handle the
Eastern states from this end. The West
ern bureau is in charge of United States
Senator Thomas J. Walsh, of Montana
and United States Senator Henry +. Hol-
lis of New Hampshire, assisted by Mr..
j. j. keegan.
Labor Textbook Prepared.
In addition to the usual run OF cam.
paign literature, We have prepared and
are sending out pocket size Labor
Textbook, OF twenty-eight or thirty
pages, which contains the laws enacted
by the present administration beneficial
to labor, legislation favored and enacted
by Mr.. Wilson while he was governor
of New Jersey, and the labor record OF
Mr.. Hughes in which the bills he vetoed
while he was governor of New York are
enumerated.
We also have a number of pamphlets
which we are distributing to the vari.
