tention in Louisiana, Alabama and
Mississippi, the states most seriously
affected, and 1t is believed that re-
cent developments of the labor situa.
ton in the Southland make some
steps desirable.
When the demand for negro labor
started the department OF labor aided
in sending negro laborers to the
North. The first application came
from the Erie railroad. This was fol.
lowed by a similar request from the
Pennsylvania.
Now negroes are being promised
higher wages by northern agents.
Thousands are going to Cleveland,
Pittsburgh, Chicago, Indianapolis and
other Northern cities.
In Mississippi the situation Is said
to be acute.
Negroes are leaving certain cities
by car loads. Alabama negroes are
going to points in Kentucky, West
Virginia, Indiana and Pennsylvania.
The city Of Montgomery has passed
an ordinance making It crime to en-.
tice labor from that point. Aberdeen
has passed an ordinance whereby a
labor agent must pay $3.50 as a privi.
lege tax.
The brother in black is human.
The labor agent promises him high.

A LOGICAL SELECTION.

The Second district Republicans, in
a convention dominated by harmony
and enthusiasm, made a very popular
selection of their candidate for Con-
yress, to fill the unexpired term of
the late William G. Brown. The Hon
George NJ. Bowers, of Martinsburg, on
whom this honor has fallen, assumed
| candidacy two years ago when there
vas no hope of election, owing to the
division within the Republican party
Notwithstanding the handicap put up
IN him he made a vigorous campaign
With results that amply testified to
lis personal popularity with the vot-
ers of that district. In view of these
services Mr.. Bowers was deserving of
The present nomination now that the
division has been closed up, and re
United party goes to battle back of
him. The same logical action is being
lrgod on the Republicans of the First
district on behalf of the candidacy of
a similarly hopeless fight in 1913. Mr..
Bowers nomination sets a splendid
precedent for the prospective action
of this district.
Among the significant features Of
the convention was the ovation given
the leading candidate for the guberna-
orial nomination, Judge ira E. Rob
inson, who stirred the enthusiasm Of
the delegates in a mastery address
on the issues of the campaign. The
second is Judge Robinson's home dis
trict, and it was made manifest that
in his case the prophet was honored

we'll as the other sections of the state

but an increasingly impressive one.

tire following is lined up solidly be

there is no doubt as TO the outcome
and the district will be redeemed by
a majority that will have a sanitary
effect upon the general election next
fall.

is the man to make the race, because
