HUGHES LABOR RECORD.

When Mr.. Gompers. remembering
only that he Is a Democrat and for
getting that ne Is a leader Of organ
Mr.. Hughes is unfriendly to labor be-
cause he concurred In the unanimous
decision In the Danbury hatters' case,
ne ventured on very thin Ice. The
Chicago Tribune promptly reminds
him that an honest judge must apply
the law AZ he thinks II il, not as
he thinks II ought to be; and asks
him to tell those who look to him
for political advice something about
the record Of Mr.. Hughes as Gov.
rho Read what the Legislative
Labor News, the official organ of the
New York Federation of Labor, said
editorially when Mr.. Hughes left the
Governors chair at Albany for his
place on the supreme court. Here It
is:
NOW that Gov. Hughes has retired
from politics and ascended to a place
on the highest judicial tribunal In the
world. the fact can be acknowledged
without hurting anybody's political
corns that he was the greatest friend
of labor laws that ever occupied the
Governors chair at Albany. During
his two terms he has signed fifty-six
labor laws. including among them the
best labor laws ever enacted In this
or any state.
"He also urged the enactment Of
labor laws In his messages to the
Legislature, even going 20 far as to
place the demand for a labor law In
one Of his messages to an extra SEES
sion Of the Legislature.
"Only 162 labor laws have been
enacted In this state since Its erec-
tion In 1777-in 1873 years. One-third
Of these, exceeding In quality all Of
the others, have been enacted and
signed during Gov. Hughes term Of
three years and nine months"
Let organized labor take to heart
what the Chicago Tribune says on
this point: "Mr. Hughes is no DEM
agogue and no visionary. He II q
man of courage and conscience, and
II labor cannot conflde Its cause to
his rock-bottom Americanism there II
something wrong with IT. cause

The plan adopted by Cornelius N.
Bliss. Jr.. treasurer OF the Republican
National Committee. to raise money
force Of active workers for the cleo
ton of Charles Evans Hughes to the
presidency has peculiar merit. Mr..
Bliss asks every one who favors the
election of Mr.. Hughes and wishes him
to have the support Of a Republican
Senate and House TO contribute $40
and become a sustaining member of
the Republican party. All such will
receive a certificate of membership.
That the none will prove n good In
yestment Is patent. 1t will help to Sc
cure for the country a more efficient
administration Of u national affairs.
which Is necessary II the prosperity
and influence of the nation Is to con-
tinue.
There are at least S,000.000 Repub-
leans. but how many of them have
any evidence they are, beyond the con-
seriousness that they have voted or
will vote the Republican ticketf The
work Is done by n few and the money
ordinarily is provided by fewer. MI.
Bliss plan offers a cure for that con-
dltion. Help the cause and get a GER
tificate of membership that will estab-
fish your party utilization. 1t is not
expected that all the 100000 Repub-
licans will give $40 each, but II a
goodly number who can afford 1t do
so there will be a great many more
nble to give much more than $40 next
time because Republican success will
mean to the country In fullest measure

nent prosperity.
