So Far as Politics is Concerned
When LongWoFth and Gaines
Speak There.
IatIelAl I'd rns rtlIanAsl

REDWOOD, oct. Last evening
was the biggest day ever, politically
in the history OF Redwood. It being
the occasion OF tho visit OF the Hon.
Nicholas Longworth. OF Ohio. and our
own "Jody" II. Gaines, chairman Of
the Republican state executive com
mite.
These noted and talented speakers
had been billed for some days in ad-
vance and their coming was looked
forward TO with interest.
They were escorted from the hotel TO
the city hall by delegation OF prom
inent party men, headed by tho Rich
wood brass band. All available space
in the large new hall. including the
galleries. and stand was taken. even
standing room was at premium. and
hundreds were turned away. not even
being able TO get in seeing distance.
The Hon. s. c, Dotson presided at
the meeting, and introduced Mr.. Gaines
as the first speaker While Mr.. Gaines
only spoke for short time, he dis
cussed the important issues confront
ing the American people in business
like manner. striking straight from
the shoulder ~ the conclusion OF his
address, he introduced Mr. Longworth,
whom he culogizcd very highly. Whom
Mr. iLongworth appeared upon the
platform he was given rousing re-
ception Of round and round Of ap-
plauso. After few 'proliminarios'
he launched into discussion Of the
national issues. and proceeded to show
up the weakness Of the Wilson admin
istration, and made It clear why II was
so highly important at this particular
time that the Republican party should
be returned to power. For about one
hour and a half no was given the clos
est attention by tho vast crowd and his
score points and hits" were cheercd
TO the echo.
This was truly rod letter day ~
Republicanism in Redwood, and the
effects will be clearly shown when the
polls are closed on election night in
November.
Only few nights ago James II. Kol-
ley, Democratic spellbinder from
Washington, d. c., spoke from the
same platform, and there were. by
actual count, just sixty-four present,
and quite a few OF those woro Repub-
leans who had been especially asked
by some Of their Democratic friends
TO come out and hear their great
speaker.

Thanks From Farmers
Hotel.

The members of the local Bar
tenders Union received thanks
from the proprietor of the Farmers
Hotel last Saturday, for the free
advertising that place received in
last weeks issue of the Press
The thanks extended by the pro-
prietor of that place we are sure
did not come from the heart, but
from some source that Is yet un-
known. The barteuders are not
going to be selfish so they are go
Ing to extend thanks right back
for the free notice they received
and which was paid for by the pro-
prietor of the Farmers Hotel. We
did not expect to get recognition
from that source especially when ii
was necessary to~hand over money
TO do so. Something unusual must
have happened or the free adver-
tising must have been SO effective,
that the proprietor just couldn't
hold himself from blowing in some
money
We are pleased to know that he
did not deny that his battenders
are non union men and that rhe
Bartenders' union card is not in
the place The proprietor should
have stated in his little article Just
why his bartenders are not In the
union aud that they Withdrew be-
cause the union would not allow
them sick benefits when they were
not entitled to it, He should have
also stated that the only meeting
that bis bartenders ever attended
was on the day they were initiated
aud never after that As far as
unionism is concerned they were
sadly lacking, but as far az sick
benefits are concerned they were
johnny on-the-spot After being
refns d benefits they were not en-
titled TO, they Immediately began
to knock be Bartenders union and
went 50 far as TO say that he off
GERS are not on the square. This
accounts Tor the funny sign in the
place The bartenders consider the
Farmers Hotel as unfrienaIy, and
trades unionist aud their friends
should patronize only such places
that display the card
Union men will not board in
house that is unfriendly to their
cause.

Drove The Agents Out,

Philadelphia, Oct. 6. More
thar twenty five strikebreaking
agents, who were here gathering
up men to send to New York to
operate the cars were virtually
driven from the city by officials Of
the State Department of Labor and
Industry. None of them had a
State license, as is required by law,
and when the State officials were
advised cf that fact prompt action
was taken and instructions given
to arrest them As soon as the
agents got wind of the decision Of
the department, they got out Of the
city. So great was their hurry
that some of them left their papers
and clothing in their hotel rooms
An official of the department Of
labor and industry said
"We propose TO prosecute them
to the limit They won't be let off
with fines, but we'll press for jail
terms. In the last few weeks six
such agents were arrested for oper
ating without licenses. This city
seems to be a favorite place for
these men, who ply their trade un-
scrupulously, and many times send
workers to distant points and then
leave them stranded
