Der of that court and concurring in
the decision which took from the
hatters their homes and savings. The
the courts and with judges is one long
story of abuse of the judicial power.
Judges do not commend themselves to
working people because of this gen
eral abuse. The laboring people take
the position that Candidate Hughes,
who concurred in decisions against
labor while member of the Supreme
Court, is not very likely to promote
the rights and interests of labor if he
becomes president. No working man
can vote for Candidate Hughes with
out endorsing his decision in the Dan

which workmen were robbed of their
savings and the shacks which shell
tered them. Advocates of war control
property and wealth. and the Danbury

Trade unionists are not the cham

to bear the great burden which fol

UNITY OF LABOR
Wilson Sentiment Predominates
Among Men of Labor
BY GRANT HAMILTON

No other presidential campaign in
the history of this country is compar-
able with the one just closing. The
wealth owners and grad-grind en-
ployers for the first time in political
history stand in their true colOrs in
an effort to elect Candidate Hughes
upon a platform constructed by the
House of Have. The spectacle of
Candidate Hughes demanding that all
legislation passed by congress during
the last four years be wiped off the
statute books indicates the considera-
ton that labor would receive at his
hands were he elected. No two con-
crosses in the entire history of this
government passed so much needed
remedial labor legislation as did the
last two. To declare unreservedly
that this legislation should be re
pealed is a direct and open bid for the
support of those who own the wealth
of the country and against those who

Legislative Agent for the Washington
State Federation of Labor
When you take your ballot into the
voting booth next Tuesday, carry with
you this thought: The entire seven Of
the Referendum Measures, and the
constitutional amendment limiting the
right to vote on all matters involving
finance to property owners, were
enacted by a legislature in control of
Special Privilege, and with an eye
single to the desire of Special Priv
ilege to take away from the common
people of the state some of the very
valuable rights and liberties they now
possess, and to make impossible future
progress.
If you vote against some of the
bills and for others, it will show that
you have not yet sensed fully the cum
ming program of legislative restriction,

ANTI-WHESKY CAMPAIGN

The great volume of campaign liter
ature sent out by the republican COM
mittees would seem to make the high
cost of white paper look like $50
cents" and yet that part of it relating
to the main issues in the campaign so
far as the well being of the people is
concerned, namely, the seven referen-
dunn measures and the constitutional
amendment, you could stuff into your
eye. They all seem to think the liquor
question is the only one of interest to
the people in this campaign. They
seem to think that the declaration of
the republican convention is enough
and will be swallowed without a
chaser" by the voters. The liquor
question is not an issue in this cam
paign, except as it relates to Initiative
Measure No. IS, known as the hotel
bill, but it is used as a subterfuge to
blind the voters to the measures of
real moment to the people. Should
the seven referendum measures and
the constitutional amendment pass
more harm would be done to the State
of Washington than if the state were
subjected to a deluge of whisky. This
liquor question in future ought to be
consideed by the referendum separate
and apart from all other elections or
its merits and not used as a screer
behind which a sneaking attempt i.
made to abridge the liberties of tn,
people.
